 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.

2014 Porsche 911 GT3 and GT3 Cup step out early

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Though Porsche won't be feeding us the full 911 enchilada until tomorrow's Geneva-based festivities, we have managed to scare up some official images of the 2014 911 GT3, as well as the all-new 911 GT3 Cup. As Porsche is celebrating 50 years of the 911, we anticipate a good day for great cars.
The new GT3 looks every bit the proper successor to the racy 911 nameplate, with a fixed rear wing large enough to serve cocktails on, a curvaceous body kit and 20-inch wheels that offer a dominating on-road stance. It's a good bet that Porsche will have coaxed something like 450 horsepower from the naturally aspirated, 3.8-liter flat-six engine that hangs over the car's rear axle. A seven-speed manual and Porsche's own PDK transmission are the likely gearbox offerings.
Should the mental quickness and imposing wingery of the standard GT3 not be enough for you, future racecar driver, Porsche is also bringing a GT3 Cup car to Geneva. The German automaker has given just a few scant details about this Cup car - 460 hp on tap, a production run of just 2,400 units - including three images of the kitted out racer. Certainly more and finer details will emerge, when Porsche shines the spotlights on its new 911s tomorrow.

NYT profiles Blue Nelson, a reclusive and interesting CA car collector

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

If it weren't for his Dale Earnhardt Sr. looks, Blue Nelson could be one one of those soft-spoken, nondescript guys whom you meet briefly and never learn much more about. However, as The New York Times shows in a recent profile and video, behind closed doors, Nelson keeps a fascinatingly eclectic collection of automotive oddities and vintage bicycles.
While his main career is in the movie industry, Nelson's other job is as a car hunter. He takes on clients searching for a specific model and helps them find and restore the dream vehicle that they're after. Hiring him takes some dedication, though, because Nelson doesn't advertise his services. "If people want to find me, they know how to find me," he says in the video.
Beyond being an automotive private detective, Nelson has a fantastically varied collection of vehicles of his own. He likes to have models that people don't usually see, and his garage holds a classic Chrysler New Yorker and an extremely rare Rometsch convertible. Although, the one that means the most to him is the 1962 Porsche 356 convertible that Blue came home in as a baby. Check out the video to learn more about Nelson and his philosophy about forming a bond with a car.

Former Top Gear crew starts filming for Amazon show

Wed, Oct 7 2015

We might have only a hint at the name and no exact date for a premiere, but fans can celebrate that Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May are filming once again. Plus, it looks like every cent of Amazon's reportedly lavish budget is being put on the screen. A photo tweeted by Clarkson shows the three hosts standing proudly in front of a Porsche 918 Spyder, Ferrari LaFerrari, and McLaren P1 at a racetrack. Clarkson jokes that the show has just a "skeleton crew" but behind him stand several dozen people, a sophisticated-looking camera rig, and two big trucks. This definitely looks worth the anticipation of the premiere on Amazon Prime next fall. Hammond tweeted the same picture and wrote: "The band is back together and it feels brilliant."

Intriguingly, it appears that fellow British auto journalist Chris Harris is currently filming at the same track. He tweeted a photo to Clarkson of the McLaren doing a very smoky slide, while being followed by the other two hypercars. The Porsches in both photos wear the same red-and-white number 3 livery and have the same license plate number. In a later message, Harris was also clear that he wasn't filming there in connection with the trio's Amazon show. This content is hosted by a third party.
