Louisville, Kentucky, United States
|
History You are bidding on a 1981 Porsche 911SC Targa. Manufactured 12/1980. The vehicle was originally purchased 05-1981 in California. The first owner had the car until 05-1993. The second owner had the car from 05-1993 to 05-2001 and still lived in California. The current owner purchased the vehicle in 2001 with 66k miles on. The vehicle has been moved a few times with the new owner, 2002 to 2006 Illinois, 2006 to 2013 Tennessee and now is living in Michigan. Women owned all 3 times. This vehicle is in excellent condition for its age and has been well cared for by all 3 of its owners. I just drove this vehicle from Detroit MI to Louisville KY and was very impressed by how fun and nice it was to drive. It’s a very solid vehicle and will be a very nice car to own. I will attempt to describe the vehicle the best I can. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask. Interior The interior was completely redone in 1988. Today the interior still looks great. The front seats and rear jump seat are in great condition free of any rips or tears. The dash pad was also recovered and only has a few spots in it right in front of the steering wheel (see pictures). The owner installed a dash pad for protection and it has done a great job maintaining the condition of the dash. It can be removed if desired. The carpet, door panels and the rest of the interior are also in great shape. The original radio has been replaced with a more updated Alpine unit with usb connector. There are also 2 amplifiers in the luggage compartment for the audio system. The sun visors have also been replaced with new ones from Porsche. The original sun visors will come with the vehicle. All gauges and controls in the interior are in working condition and in great shape. Exterior The exterior was completely restored by Sport Body in Upland California in 1988. I have several Polaroid pictures of the vehicle throughout its refinishing process and all invoices for the repair. Today the exterior looks good with typical rock chips in the front hood area and around the headlights. It does have a small place on the passenger side of the front bumper and the driver’s side rear quarter panel behind the wheel that the paint has either been rubbed off or was damaged. See pictures for these areas. There is a small amount of rust developing around the rear window where the bottom of the glass meets the body. I also noticed a very small amount on the door edge of the passenger door. The rest of the cars exterior is near perfect. The luggage area and under the vehicle are in great shape and very clean. I pulled back the carpet and took pictures of all common areas that other vehicles this age might have rust issues. This vehicle looks good, battery area, under both doors and all corners of this vehicle are rust free. The Targa was also refinished in 1988 and still looks new today. Engine At 66462 miles in 2001 the engine had head studs that were pulling out and would not torque so the owner decided it was the best time to have the engine rebuilt. The engine was removed and totally rebuilt by Callas Rennsport in Torrance California. I have all documentation listing what was replaced but a small list would include; clutch cable, all head studs, connecting rods and bearings, timing chains, updated to Carrera tensioner kit, all cam chain rails, new air box and so on. Invoice total was $8361.10. Today the engine runs very well with no signs of leaking fluids or any smoke from exhaust. Extras The owner has installed a maintain battery charger that will come with the vehicle. Also included is a cover king locking car cover, a light weight carbrella for when the targa top is out, 2 owners manuals, all maintenance and repair invoices, new still in the box threshold covers, original tool bag with tools, original spare tire and 6 keys Tires were replaced in 2008 but only @3000 miles ago. I could not fit all the pictures I have (over 100) on this listing so if you have specific areas you would like to see please let me know. If your feedback score is below 5 please do not bid. Contact me first. The vehicle is located in Louisville KY and will need to be picked up there. There is not a buy it now price. The seller is going to let the auction end with the highest bidder (after reserve is met) getting the vehicle. Please check my feedback, I have sold many vehicles on ebay and all transactions have been positive. Bid with confidence. |

The exotic '80s: Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus and the Porsche 959
Thu, Apr 9 2015There's no secret that we are big fans of the MotorWeek Retro Review series around here. In an automotive world that often focuses on the latest tech and what's coming in the future, it's refreshing to take a look into the past to get a new perspective. That said, the show is really outdoing itself this time by posting a full episode from the '80s to YouTube, complete with the original, jazzy opening. The video is an absolute standout, too, with drives of some of the best supercars that Europe could offer at the time. Among the now classic sportscars that MotorWeek got to drive are the Ferrari 328, Lotus Esprit Turbo, Lamborghini Jalpa and Autokraft AC Mark IV. There's even a preview that sings the praises of the tech in the Porsche 959. The episode is basically a showcase of most of the exotics from young enthusiasts' walls and school folders during the '80s and is not to be missed.

$76,400 Porsche S E-Hybrid will debut in Paris
Fri, Sep 26 2014The 2015 Porsche Cayenne S E Hybrid will be an all-new model, one that adds a plug – and the required associated technological bits – to the currently available Cayenne S Hybrid. The most important of those bits is a 10.8-kWh lithium-ion battery, but Porsche's Calvin Kim told AutoblogGreen that the SUV's electric-only range is still pending certification, but Hybrid Cars says that Porsche is estimating it'll be somewhere between 11 and 22 miles, "depending on the style of driving and route topography." Other than the new battery, the electric motor has been upgraded to a 95 horsepower/70 kW unit (up from the 47-hp/34 kW motor in the Cayenne hybrid without a plug). The overall powertrain now puts out a total of 416 hp and can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 5.4 seconds. Alongside the electric parts, there's a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission. You can find all of the E-Hybrid's available specs here and stay tuned for more information on the new plug-in SUV when it makes its debut at the Paris Motor Show in early October. The SUV will go on sale in the US on November 1, 2014 with a starting MSRP of $76,400, plus a destination charge of $995. In a new press release (available below), Porsche is also proudly saying, once again, that it will be the world's only automaker offering three plug-in hybrid models, once the Cayenne S E-Hybrid hits the market. The others are the Panamera S E-Hybrid and the 918 Spyder. How long will this reign at the top last? World premiere of the Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid in Paris Leading the industry: Porsche offers three plug-in hybrid models Stuttgart/Atlanta. The new Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid celebrates its world premiere at the Paris Motor Show. It is the world's first luxury SUV to offer a plug-in hybrid drive, setting new standards in its segment. The Cayenne S E-Hybrid also makes Porsche the leading manufacturer of plug-in hybrid vehicles: Complementing the Panamera S E-Hybrid and the 918 Spyder, Porsche is the only manufacturer worldwide to offer three plug-in hybrids. In addition to the Cayenne S E-Hybrid, Porsche is presenting the other models that comprise the new generation of Cayenne including the Cayenne S, Cayenne Turbo, and Cayenne Diesel. Increased efficiency and performance, even more precise handling, a sharper design and a broadened array of standard equipment are its defining features.
Trump reportedly says he wants to wipe German cars off the U.S. map
Thu, May 31 2018BERLIN/FRANKFURT — A report that U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to pursue German carmakers until there are no Mercedes-Benz rolling down New York's Fifth Avenue dented shares in the luxury car manufacturers on Thursday. An excerpt from German magazine Wirtschaftswoche's article, which cited several unnamed European and U.S. diplomats but did not include any direct quotes, could not be independently verified, while a U.S. Embassy spokesman in Berlin referred questions to Washington. The news and current affairs magazine said Trump had told French President Emmanuel Macron in April that he aimed to push German carmakers out of the United States altogether. Macron's administration in Paris declined to comment on the report. The Trump administration last week opened a so-called Section 232 trade investigation into vehicle imports, which could result in a 25 percent tariff on cars on the same "national security" grounds Washington used to impose metals duties in March. This could destroy exports by German carmakers, which control 90 percent of the U.S. premium market and are the biggest European Union exporters of cars to the United States. BMW owns Rolls-Royce, while Daimler has Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen controls Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche and Audi. Daimler, BMW and Audi declined comment. Porsche was not immediately available for comment. BMW shares were trading 0.5 percent lower at 0939 GMT, while Daimler and VW's shares were down 1 percent and 1.6 percent respectively, underperforming Germany's blue-chip DAX. Trump has railed against German carmakers before. And in early 2017, in an interview with German newspaper Bild, he said he would impose 35 percent tariffs on imported cars. At the time, the president called Germany a great car producer but said that the business relationship with the United States was an unfair one-way street. Germany's auto industry association VDA says its members exported 657,000 vehicles to North America last year, with total exports of vehicle components, cars, engines, as well as second-hand vehicles totaling 31.2 billion euros in 2016. Imports from the United States to Germany amounted to 7.4 billion euros, meaning a trade deficit of 23.8 billion euros the VDA's latest available figures show. However, German brands also have huge factories in the United States, where they built 804,000 cars last year, VDA said, providing jobs for U.S. workers. Berlin has reacted angrily to the U.S.
