 Up for sale is my 1982 Porsche 911SC ROW project car.  I had to list it as a 1980 due to the VIN.  Please contact me below if you have any concerns regarding this.

I originally purchased this car to use as a DE/Autocross car, and eventually transition it to a full road racer.  Unfortunately, I’ve decided to abandon this project and thin out my “toy cars.”  It is a ROW car which means it has the higher compression 3.0L, with bigger valves.  According to Porsche it makes 204hp compared to 180hp in the North American model.  It was imported through West Palm Beach, FL as indicated on the sticker inside the driver’s door jamb.  I attempted to contact the owner that originally imported the car, but I was unsuccessful.   

I purchased this car in September of 2011 from a body shop about 3 miles from my house (Tampa, FL).  The owner of the shop initially told me it needed an engine because it had “a bad oil pump.”  I decided to have a local independent Porsche mechanic go with me to further inspect the car before the transaction.  We determined the car made immediate oil pressure, within factory specs.  I bought the car that day.  A week and a half later after a tune-up, valve adjustment, oil change, and 6 new fuel injectors, the car pulled hard and ran like a top.  I drove the car back to the body shop and stunned the owner.  We also did a compression & leak down test which showed some air getting past the valve seals.  Depending on the new owner’s desired use for the car, valve seals may be a good idea before hard competitive use.

After driving it for a few months on the weekends without issue, I experienced a failure of the pedal assembly which had corroded.  This likely occurred due to water entry through the windshield seal (fairly common).  So, as most small projects turn into large ones, I decided to start taking the car apart.  This car had fallen into disrepair prior to becoming mine, but as I disassembled it I could tell it had been truly loved at one point.  All of the 930S flares were OEM, had been properly welded on, and lead-filled.  It also had some goodies like 3-piece wheels (17x8.0/17x10), 965 bodywork, Momo steering wheel, Rennline aluminum foot rests, etc.  The only rust was just below the pedal assembly, and in the cowl (the result of a poor Maaco-esque paint job that had trapped moisture around the body seals).  To date, all this has been resolved.  The hole in the floor was just big enough to fit a few fingers through, and has been skillfully patched.  The pedal assembly was also pretty rotten so I replaced it with a factory unit and upgraded to the bronze bushings.  The cowl was also patched on both sides near the fender seals.  The car was left in bare metal and clearcoated so there are no surprises for the new owner.  The passenger side quarter panel is the only one I had a chance to straighten & prime.  I have full pictures of the process which I will send upon request.  The sunroof was also sealed using a steel panel from FennLane Motorsport in the UK.  It was spot welded, all-metal filled, and skim coated.  A roll bar (SCCA/NASA/PCA legal) from Patrick Motorsport was also installed, and the full interior sprayed white.

Over the past couple months I’ve toyed with the idea of selling the car, and even listed it on thesamba.  However, I decided the time has come to let her go.  If you have additional questions, or would like to view the car in the Tampa area prior to bidding, please message, email, or call me to discuss.  Good Luck and Happy Bidding!


The original glass, seats, and spares will be included with the sale.  I will assist the buyer with shipping arrangements.  For international buyers, I can assist with transport of the car to the Florida shipping port of your choice for a reasonable fee.

Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic

Mon, Oct 24 2016

Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.

Porsche busts out new Boxster GTS and Cayman GTS

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

Baby 911. The poor man's Porsche. That's what they called the Boxster when it debuted some 20 years ago. They said the same of the first Cayman when it arrived a decade later, but they stopped saying it when the latest iterations hit the scene two years ago. That's because Zuffenhausen's entry-level models have long since stepped out of their big brother's shadow and into their own. And that's all the more true of the new Boxster GTS and Cayman GTS.
Based on the Boxster S and Cayman S, the new GTS models benefit from an enhanced 3.4-liter flat six that produces 330 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque in the roadster or 340 hp and 280 lb-ft in the coupe - representing an increase of 15 hp and 7 lb-ft in either model. Both also come with the Sport Chrono package as standard, along with adjustable suspension and 20-inch alloys, blacked out to match the dynamic headlight surrounds and other muted trim.
Those disappointed by the unavailability of a manual transmission in the fire-prone 911 GT3 will be pleased to note that a six-speed manual comes standard, but those enamored of letting a pair of clutches shift themselves seamlessly will want to spring for the optional seven-speed DCT. So equipped and with launch control engaged, the Boxster GTS will rocket from a standstill to 62 miles per hour in 4.7 seconds, while the incrementally lighter, more powerful Cayman will hit it in 4.6. Either way you're looking at a third of a second quicker than the Boxster/Cayman S. There's also a 20-millimeter lowered suspension on offer for track-day enthusiasts.

Autoblog Minute: New Civic, FCA UAW Agreement, Frankfurt

Fri, Sep 18 2015

FCA reaches a tentative agreement with the UAW, Honda reveals the all-new 2016 Civic, and the Frankfurt Motor Show dazzles us again. Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on the Weekly Recap edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] FCA reaches a tentative agreement with the UAW, Honda reveals the all-new 2016 Civic, and the Frankfurt Motor Show dazzles us again. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. FCA reached a tentative labor agreement with UAW leadership. The major focus of the new deal reportedly includes: the eventual elimination of the two-tier pay scale [00:00:30] and pooling worker health care. Now that a leadership agreement is in place, the deal will be sent to FCA's rank-and-file. FCA has about 36,000 hourly employees. We got a first look at the interior and exterior of the 10th-generation Civic. Honda expects the new sedan to dominate the C-segment when it hits dealerships later this fall. Civic coupe, five-door hatchback, Si and Type R will all come later. The 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show is in the books and there was a lot of news to get excited about. [00:01:00] Porsche introduced a fully electric concept car in the Mission E. If they make this car, Porsche could give Tesla nightmares. We also saw SUVs from Jaguar and Bentley. There were two beautiful Italian convertibles from Ferrari and Lamborghini. Meanwhile, Mercedes introduced a concept of their own in the IAA - a vehicle that experiments with adaptable aerodynamics. Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday. Plus we'll have some added insight on General Motors' deal to [00:01:30] avoid federal prosecution.
