Up for sale is my 1981 Porsche 911SC Targa.   I am a PCA member and have diligently maintained (and lightly restored) this car. 
 
Body & interior are in top condition, and all mechanicals have been touched in the past 12 months.   I have a binder of all service records beginning in November of 1983, and including a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity.  No known major accidents, other than a reference to broken glass falling on the car which required paint work in the mid-90s.  
 
I purchased the car from a Porsche mechanic, who in turn had acquired the car from the son of the owner after he had passed away.  The previous owner, from 1983 to just prior to my ownership, was a doctor based in Beverly Hills.  He was a meticulous owner and loved the car, anything that needed replacement/repair was promptly addressed.  He was also religious in his regular maintenance as well (oil changes, brake fluid flush, A/C recharges, etc).  All service records detailing the care and maintenance of the car are on hand.  During my ownership over the past couple of years I've gone through the car thoroughly and repaired any additional items that needed attention.
 
A sampling of some of the recent fixes include:
  • In April 1991 the previous owner replaced the original wheels with an full Fuch OEM wheelset (receipt in hand).  I had them reconditioned in Sep 2012.
  • New shift coupler installed as well as new shifter bushings
  • Any/all oil leaks resolved - new cam oil lines (left and right) installed, new intermediate shaft gasket, new S line, and new engine oil lines.
  • Chain tensioners rebuilt with OEM Porsche upgrade kit, replaced all 6 chain ramps, install new guard kit, and reinstall covers with new gaskets.
  • Repaired and refurbished Bosch CD Box
  • Pop off valve installed
  • Replaced fuel lines and CIS injectors
  • Front tie rods replaced with Turbo 930 tie rods.
  • Front seats have been reupholstered to OEM spec

  • New windshield, and new seals
  • New rear targa window
  • Replaced deteriorating cardboard OEM blower motor cover in trunk with Rennline billet metal cover

  • Cleaned windshield wiper fluid reservoir, new fluid pump installed, new jets, new wipers.
  • 4 new Hankook tires from Tire Rack with receipt.
The car has been at several PCA events.  Recently photographed at the 2012 Porsche Concours at Greystone Mansion, and included several PCA Los Angeles publications.  The car's high 245k mileage is a point of distinction that is often admired among aficionados.  At Porsche events it is noted as a point of pride.  This car also comes with the following:
  • A binder documenting it's entire service history
  • Porsche certificate of authenticity
  • Original tool set (the screwdriver handle is a replacement, otherwise OEM, including replacement fuses)

Porsche Museum highlights history of the 911 RSR

Sat, 12 Jan 2013

Porsche has amassed quite an impressive trophy case in just about every racing series it has ever entered, and one of its most dominant machines has to be the 911 RSR from the 1970s. Taking part in various GT-class competitions, the 911 RSR managed to take home three international and seven German victories in 1973, its very first year of competition.
Not one to downplay its racing successes, Porsche has released an informative video detailing the 911 RSR's impressive heritage. The 1973 RSR model owned by the Porsche Museum is detailed beautifully on video, and we have to say it looks absolutely stunning in its vintage Martini Racing livery.
Have a look at the video below for some historic racing action, along with static shots of one of our favorite Porsche models ever created.

Porsche updates 919 Hybrid LMP1 for 2015 assault [w/video]

Fri, Mar 27 2015

Last season, Porsche returned to the top level of endurance racing with the 919 Hybrid, picking up a mantle that has seen the German marque win the 24 Hours of Le Mans a record sixteen times – more than any other manufacturer ever to compete at the legendary French race. Of course, Porsche didn't beat its sister company Audi right out of the box, but managed to win the last race in the FIA World Endurance Championship in Brazil before the season was done. This year it undoubtedly hopes to do even better, and this is the machine with which it will endeavor to take the top honors. Newly revised and optimized for the 2015 season, the new 919 Hybrid was just revealed on the eve of the first test session of the season at the Paul Ricard test track in the South of France. It may look largely the same as the model it succeeds, but benefits from numerous advancements made to help Porsche catch up with Audi and Toyota. For starters, Zuffenhausen has opted to step up to the eight-megajoule category, favoring the electric side of its hybrid powertrain over the internal combustion engine. So the compact 2.0-liter turbocharged V4 now drives in excess of 500 horsepower to the rear wheels, and the electric motor – powered by two energy recovery systems and a liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery – kicks in upwards of 400 hp to the front wheels. The rest of the package has been comprehensively updated as well, giving it a lower weight, improved rigidity, revised suspension and reshaped aerodynamic elements. Porsche will field two cars at most of the races this season, but will increase its team to three cars for certain races – one in black, one in white and one in red. Following the "prologue" test session at Paul Ricard this weekend, the season kicks off with the 6 Hours of Silverstone on April 12, when the new Porsche 919 Hybrid will take on the similarly revised Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro and Toyota TS040 Hybrid for the first time in earnest.

Porsche 918 Spyder with Weissach package does 0-62 mph in 2.6 seconds

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

Porsche marketers are having a field day with the 918 Spyder after some last-minute tuning improved the car's performance. They now say that it's so fast it's already beaten itself. Let us explain: Using a Weissach package-equipped 918 as an example (which reduces the plug-in hybrid supercar's weight through the deletion of some interior items, more generous use of carbon fiber and magnesium wheels), the car's previous official 0-62 miles-per-hour time of 2.8 seconds has been cut to 2.6. Additionally, 0-124 mph takes 7.2 seconds and 0-186 mph is dispatched in 19.9 seconds, times that were reduced by half a second and 2.1 seconds, respectively.
In all-electric mode, a non-Weissach pack 918 does 0-62 mph in 6.2 seconds (with the package, 6.1 seconds), down from 6.9 seconds. Efficiency is also improved thanks to the final tuning. The New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) rating of a Weissach pack-equipped car equates to 94 miles per gallon, up three mpg compared to before. That's pretty good for a car with 887 horsepower!
Check out the press release below for more details on how Porsche's final tuning measures improved its flagship supercar.
