1983 Porsche 911 on 2040-cars
Houston, Texas, United States
very clean 1983 911sc... runs and drive tight and smooth, this a clean driver that was highly opted which includes factory wing, sunroof front, chin spoiler, fog lights, h4 lights, factor ac (not working) and pleated leather seats. the porsche is all stock but the exhaust was upgraded to a ss system that sounds awesome. I bought this car for my wife because it was her dream car, not knowing she was not willing to learn to drive a manual. she didnt know the car only came manual. I have driven the porsche over 2500 miles in the last 6 months with no problems at all. I remove the ac because it didnt work and I was told the removal would add power, it did! not a lot but the car is so light every little bit help. I would not say its fast but it is fun to drive for sure. (my last porsche was 911 twin turbo, it was fast!) I hate to sell this car but she said she want a 997 with an auto trans. lol I looked long and hard to this car and was very happy with it. I purchased an additional deck lid because I prefer the no wing look, I have the original wing and its in great shape. I also have the ac complete. new parts include: fuel pump,fuel hose and clamps, fuel sending unit, all new oil lines, oil change, oil drain ring. work preformed on 5-03-16. miles 110,125 spark plugs. work preformed 2-03-016 ignition control unit and ignition coil 2-01-16 window switchs and v-belt 11-30-10 fuel accumulator, fuel filter, air regulartor, hood gas strut, preformed 8-06-09 shift ball socket, shift sleeve, shift coupler, plastic sleeve, preformed 8-06-09 with 109869 miles... miles on the car today is 110900 new Alpine blue tooth radio and new alpine speakers work preformed 6-10-16 THE GOODS: it a 1983 porsche 911sc the last year of the sc and the most powerful. it runs and drives so good! shifts great though all the gears like it should, I driven hundreds of 911 with the 915 trans and this is the best of all. the inside is good no rips or tears dash is good all controls work like they should all the gauges work even the clock the brake are good and stop like new recently had a tune up which includes NEW FUEL PUMP, PLUGS, MSD COIL, TIE RODS AND BATTERY. I have all the a/c parts and the factor rear wing. 915 Transmission shifts very smooth and tight THE BAD: not that much really the paint is super shinny and looks great going down the road, but some of the body work done before the paint is not great you can see sanding scratches in some places and the clear on the passenger side door is not smooth. maybe it could be buffed, I was going the paint the car so I didnt care. SO.... Im writing this and I walk out to my car to look to see if I overlooked anything and noticed the dash now has a crack in it and didnt yesturday sunroof is not working the motor works but the roof does not move.

Investigators blame speed in fatal Paul Walker crash
Wed, 26 Mar 2014When the tragic news first came in that actor Paul Walker had been killed in a car crash, family, friends and fans were left searching for answers. They now have at least one key question answered, with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department blaming "unsafe speed" for the fatal accident.
According to a statement released by the LACSD, "Investigators determined the cause of the fatal solo-vehicle collision was unsafe speed for the roadway conditions". The investigation into the November, 2013 crash determined that Walker's 2005 Porsche Carrera GT had been driven by his business partner and racer, Roger Rodas, at speeds between 80 and 93 miles per hour - less than the 100+ mph initially suspected, but still far too fast for the road on which they were traveling, which carried a posted limit of 45 mph.
In the investigation into the death of the Fast & Furious star and his friend, some people were quick to finger the Porsche in which they were riding as the culprit. The Carrera GT does, after all, have the reputation of being a notoriously difficult car to control. But after an exhaustive investigation, law enforcement officials in California have vindicated the car and dismissed any mechanical fault as the cause of the accident.
1950s car ads are timeless
Sat, Aug 8 2015Usually around the Super Bowl a few great car commercials show up, but for the most part auto ads today pale in comparison to the '1950s and '60s. In an era with a truly viable magazine industry, automakers would take out gorgeous full-page spreads to get the word out about their wares. It was also a time when imports were just hitting the US, and there was a boom in sports cars. Car and Driver has gone for a dig into its advertising archives from when the book was known as Sports Cars Illustrated for a truly great viewing experience. You can imagine a young Don Draper mulling over the copy for these ads, but some of it is laughably quaint today. For example, there's a great image of a driver whipping an Austin-Healey 100 around a track. The italicized red text proudly proclaims, "From 0 to 60 MPH in 10.5 seconds." One of the beautiful parts about these advertisements is that you seldom see photos of the cars. Instead, there are often detailed drawings that slightly distort the vehicles' lines. With this approach, the Porsche 356 ends up looking far more curvaceous than in real life. Plus, the front end of the Chrysler 300 looks large enough to land a helicopter on. The whole thing is worth scrolling through. There are some fascinating glimpses into auto history like an ad for Abarth exhausts before the brand was just known for tuning Fiats.
