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
  • Targa top refurbished.
  • New Porsche dash (was told this is one of the last 911SC available from the factory)
  • New windshield, and new seals
  • New rear targa window
  • Replaced deteriorating cardboard OEM blower motor cover in trunk with Rennline billet metal cover
  • Replaced deteriorating cardboard rear deck with replacement fiberglass cover
  • Speedo sync'd at North Hollywood Speedometer, all dash lights replaced.
  • Headlights replaced with Sylvania OEM replacement lights
  • All lightbulbs replaced
  • Original Blaupunkt radio, reconditioned, working, and reinstalled
  • Kenwood amplifier installed in trunk with along with an equalizer switch to allow for iphone/ipod in glove box (all components out of sight).
  • A/C recently charged and working well.  Original compressor and clutch in working order.
  • 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)
  • Original set of tire changing gloves - very rare item that came as part of the original tool kit
  • Original jack and jack pad
  • Spare tire with original stickers, never been pumped
  • Replacement spare tire pump
  • Car cover included
Please contact me with any questions.

Porsche's baby Panamera delayed until 2019 or later

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

If you're enticed by the idea of a Porsche sedan but find the Panamera to be too big, your hopes may have been raised by the development of the so-called Pajun. But don't get those hopes up too much, because the latest word coming in from the Old World has it that the Panamera Junior has been delayed.
The Pajun was (and theoretically still is, despite tardiness) a project to apply to the Panamera the same winning formula that Porsche used to transmute the Cayenne into the smaller Macan. Its size would be closer to the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes E-Class than the larger Panamera, and employ an array of six-cylinder engines.
The smaller five-door was set to be the cornerstone of Porsche Product Strategy 2018, a plan that included several new models to be launched within the next four years. However, reports now indicate that the Volkswagen Group is counting on Porsche to help bolster its profits and is not keen on investing in new products at this time, pushing the Pajun and other projects back until 2019 at the earliest. Although much of the strategy remains undisclosed, it is believed to include (or have included) a sub-Boxster sports car and a supercar to slot in between the 911 and the 918 Spyder. There was also talk of a shooting brake version of the Panamera based on the Sport Turismo concept pictured above. What will become of those projects, however, remains to be seen.

Best Convertibles for 2022

Thu, Jun 30 2022

The past decade has not been kind to the drop-top enthusiast. No matter which dealer you walk into, convertible models have been biting the dust left and right. Nissan Z? Audi TT? Buick Cascada? Volkswagen Eos? All gone. Remember the humble Chrysler Sebring/200? Well, you do now. Fortunately, though, the news isn't all bad. There are still plenty of options out there for those who absolutely must have a convertible. Whether you need something to haul behind your retirement cruiser, a performance car that can go toe-to-toe with the best in the world or just something that allows you to sling the roof back after a long day of on-location business meetings before catching the flight back to your everyday hustle and bustle, there's at least one cabriolet out there to suit your needs. Here are our picks and starting prices for the top convertibles in several categories for 2022.  For the frugal open-top lover: 2022 Mini Convertible ($34,650) Let's face it; gas ain't cheap. But open-top motoring doesn't need to be a wallet killer. The Mini is cheap (at least by 2022 standards) and an absolute joy to drive, so there's really no downside here ... except for the roof. Get it?    For the hardtop lover: 2022 Mazda MX-5 RF ($37,260) / 2022 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible ($69,695) The number of hardtop convertibles has seriously dwindled due to weight concerns and the fact that fabric roofs have gotten so quiet, but there are still some options for those who prefer a more coupe-like look with the roof up. Our picks here are the delightfully Targa-like MX-5 Miata RF and literally any Corvette Stingray — even the hardtop has a removable roof!    For long road trips: 2022 Ford Mustang Convertible ($34,100) The first image that comes to mind for many who are told to visualize an American convertible is the classic Ford Mustang. It's not the only drop-top pony car out there, but thanks to the Camaro's tiny trunk, it's much harder to see the USA in a Chevrolet when a drop-top enters the equation. The Mustang has much more cargo space and a much larger opening, which is likely the difference between keeping your bags under lock and key or leaving them exposed in the back seat.    For towing behind an RV: 2022 Jeep Wrangler ($31,590) While many small runabouts make sense for towing behind a motor home (or nestled up inside a fancier one), the Wrangler has a serious advantage when it comes to RVing: it can easily be flat-towed.

2014 Porsche Panamera Diesel is something to torque about

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

Porsche has been in the business of slaying sacred cows for the better part of a decade, from venturing into the SUV space with the Cayenne to the four-door realm with its Panamera hatchback. And if those vehicles didn't leave brand purists apoplectic enough, Porsche has been adding diesel and hybrid power to its portfolio, thought to this point, neither alt-fuel motivator has made its way into the brand's sports car lineup.
Today's Frankfurt Motor Show effectively marks the second-generation of diesel power in the Panamera, and this updated 3.0-liter V6 features 300 horsepower (50 ponies more than last year) and a whopping 479 pound-feet of torque, available from 2,500 rpm. That power is achieved with a new higher-pressure, water-cooled turbo and redesigned engine internals that include a new crankshaft and pistons. The newfound increase is said to raise top speed to 161 miles per hour from 152, and drop the car's 0-62 mph time from 6.8 seconds down to 6.0. It also figures to be a better handler, with a new torque-vectoring rear differential borrowed from its gas-powered brethren and a reworked transmission for crisper shifts. The suspension has also been retuned, along with the updated 2014 visuals first revealed at April's Shanghai Motor Show.
No word yet on the North American sales prospects of this diesel Panamera, but we imagine that depends in part on how well the Cayenne diesel is selling.
