Video walk around from January 13th, 2017 -- go to youtube and paste: 1983 Porsche 911 SC with carbon fiber 993
turbo look upgrade
For sale is my 1983 Porsche 911 with 49,500 miles on the original 3.0L 6 cylinder naturally aspirated engine mated
to a matching 5 speed manual transmission.
This engine is reliable and bulletproof, significantly improved over the 2.7L versions of the 70's, which were
ticking time bombs unless you replaced the magnesium valve covers. The 3.0 is easier to tune and offers more torque
at lower revs.
This specific example is, in my opinion, special. It been perfectly maintained for the last 33 (34) years and is
aesthetically even more exclusive, having been professionally fully restored approximately 10 years ago and in the
process upgraded to a high-strength lightweight 993 carbon fiber body - over $20k spent just on this upgrade build
not including costs of restoration.
Originally a Texas vehicle (and currently registered in MA), this Porsche 911 has no rust what so ever. Everything
functions as it should: transmission is smooth and tight, the clutch really bites when it engages, the brakes are
thick, strong, firm and responsive. All electricals, every light dash and gauge functions. The engine compartment
is as clean as a whistle, the transmission is smooth and predictable, and the interior is 9.5/10. There is no rust
on the body, no cracks on the dash, no tears on the leather. The paint looks great, the canvas top is literally
brand new and has never seen rain. The e-brake works as it should.
The title is clear.
*this is not a turbo*
Disclosures:
1. The clock on the dash is slow.
2. The driver's side window could use a realignment and adjustment of the stop gap.
4. The rear spoiler could use a hinge adjustment.
5. Leaks a small amount of oil after a long drive but does not require topping off between oil changes. Does not
drip constantly.

Porsche again staring down another $1.8B in hedge fund lawsuits
Wed, 15 May 2013The sequence of events from 2007 that began with Porsche's secret attempt to take over Volkswagen, and instead lead to Porsche being taken over by VW, continues to instigate lawsuits against the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer. A group of hedge funds that suffered over $1 billion in losses sued the car company in New York. Porsche had publicly stated it wasn't trying to buy VW, the hedge funds in question were shorting VW stock, and when Porsche's actual intentions were revealed, the stock shot up and the hedge funds took a beating.
The case was thrown out over the issue of jurisdiction, then appealed, only to see another suit filed on top of that. After that, most of the hedge funds withdrew their claims in New York and Porsche offered a 90-day window to refile in Germany where it is already fighting a number of other suits over the same issue. The hedge funds accepted the offer, refiling in Stuttgart for $1.8 billion in damages. According to Bloomberg, Porsche hasn't commented on the refiling, but as the same plaintiffs are involved, it's safe to assume that the carmaker still feels the case is "unsubstantiated and without merit." It has fared alright so far even in German courts, with two lesser cases against it thrown out last year.
Watch Porsche legend Jeff Zwart frolic in the snow in his 356
Wed, 14 May 2014Racing driver Jeff Zwart picked up a 1953 Porsche 356 Pre A to use as a historical prop in a Cayenne commercial, then decided to keep it when the filming was done. Then, explaining to filmmaker Will Roegge that his vintage toy does really well in slippery conditions, Zwart throws it around in the Colorado snow - on pencil-thin studded tires on 16-inch wheels - to prove the point.
Don't expect roostertails in this winter wonderland video, however; with just about 60 horsepower at sea level, gumption drops to about 40 hp when playing at 9,000 mountainous feet. But that's still plenty to work as a testament to the phrase, "If you've got it, flaunt it," and you can watch it below.
Porsche calls in The Committee for Boxster and Cayman GTS
Thu, 20 Mar 2014Porsche is set to offer up the very first GTS variants of its more affordable Boxster convertibles and Cayman coupes. This is very good news for enthusiasts. Aside from our original post announcing the hotted up models, though, Porsche hasn't given us much to go on.
And you know what? This video isn't much of help either. It's called The Committee, and we're guessing it's meant to highlight the lengths that Porsche went to in designing what are essentially sportier trim levels for its two most affordable entries. Still, it's a stylized and entertaining video with a few entertaining driving scenes scattered throughout, and it gives just a small glimpse of Porsche's view of the vaunted GTS badge.
Take a look below for the full video.
