1984 (not 1980) Euro Porsche 911 Cab, 74k Miles, Beautiful Project, No Reserve on 2040-cars
Conway, South Carolina, United States
|
You're looking at my rare true "Euro" version 1984 Porsche 911 cabriolet with only 74k miles. The European VIN won't work for eBay's system, so I had to list it as a 1980 but it's a Euro 1984. It is numbers matching and will be a gorgeous car when done. This car ran and drove great until a wiring harness issue arose from a mouse chewing some of the wiring by the firewall under the hood (behind the gauges)...car was on a trickle charger in the garage and the hood was open just enough for a critter to get in and have some fun. My mechanic started taking everything apart and labeled every wire as to what it connected to (all wires are still connected at the fuse block). Unfortunately, he was doing it "on the side" and was taking too long and I just pulled it from him so I could sell it. My wife and I just bought a new river house and decided to sell most of my Porsche collection to put towards the new house...so...this must go. It has leather factory sport seats that are in overall good condition. The carpet is in great shape, and new mats are included. The car ran and shifted fine before this issue. The soft top is in good working order. The cloth is in fine condition, but the plastic window could use replacing as it's discolored. The original dash has a few typical cracks. Door panels are nice. All gauges were in working order when taken out to address the wiring issue. The original painted Fuch wheels are in great shape. Tires are older and should be replaced. All brake calipers were rebuilt/replaced and rotors turned or replaced. Comes with original spare, tool kit, jack and manual. AC compressor is disconnected but is in the car. The car simply needs someone with patience and time to reconnect the harness. Another harness comes with the car as a backup to pull sections from if needed. The car is rust free and will be worth in the $35-40k range when done. The original paint is faded in several places and should be redone to be pristine, but looks fine from 10'. If I didn't need to sell it I wouldn't, but the new house takes priority. See my other listings for more Porsche's I'm selling...you can see the '79 Targa and '91 C2 cab in the background in a few pics. Feel free to message me with questions/offers. Ask any and all questions prior to bidding. I am a private collector, not a dealer, so all sales are final and no warranties are expressed or implied. Thanks for looking and happy bidding. This is a no reserve auction so the last bid wins. I will gladly work with international bidders, and the Port of Charleston is less than 3 hours from me. Please do not bid if you do not plan on following through.

Can a Corvette really be compared to a 911 with options costing more than the Chevy?
Wed, 29 Jan 2014In this latest video from Drive, Chris Harris asks straight away, "Can you still compare a base Corvette to a Porsche Carerra?" That's an particularly interesting question in this film, as the 911 in question is a 400-horsepower Carrera S model that's been fitted with $60,000 in options. Base price of a Corvette Stingray? $51,995. Harris' tester features an automatic and some other goodies that push it right up to that $60,000 range. So yes, the options on the Porsche cost as much as this entire 460-hp Chevrolet.
Harris stresses that this isn't a full review, but he does exercise both cars in a more composed manner before reverting to his traditionally exuberant driving style. The impressions are, as always, spot on, with Harris favoring the pointy nature and V8 power of the Stingray, while enjoying the gearbox (Porsche's exceptional PDK transmission) and just about everything else on the 911.
Take a look below for the latest video from Drive, and let us know if you agree with Mr. Harris' views on these two sports cars.
Watch 1,208 Porsche 911s collect at Silverstone for world record
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Porsche has been spending the majority of 2013 celebrating the 50th birthday of the 911, with its latest stunt taking the German brand to the home of British motorsports, Silverstone. To celebrate, Porsche invited enthusiasts to take their personal 911s on a lap of the former airfield, and boy, did the Porschephiles show up. 1,208 911s took part in the lap around the Grand Prix circuit, making it the largest-ever gathering of the iconic, rear-engined cars.
This wasn't just a celebration of 50 years for the 911, though. Funds raised were channeled towards Hope For Tomorrow, a cancer charity that works with the United Kingdom's National Health Service in operating mobile chemothereapy units that make life just a little bit easier on cancer patients.
Take a look at the long video below, and enjoy the passing of what are likely examples of every 911 model ever built.
Watch Larry Kosilla resurrect the finish of this barn-find 1966 Porsche 912
Thu, 25 Jul 2013Larry Kosilla, the founder of the Ammo NYC line of car cleaning products, has his own show YouTube's Drive network - we saw his work before when he gave a Ferrari 288 GTO a two-day detailing job. On this episode, Kosilla gets called in to do his best with a 1966 Porsche 912, a car that was last registered in 1990 and recently found in a barn in Connecticut.
Among the expected dirt and cobwebs, the Irish Green Porsche is also covered what is assumed to be cat fur and "waste." The car is in such delicate condition, however, that Kosilla can't wash it for fear of getting more water in it than on it, so he has to steam and wipe the entire thing down before he begins the paint correction process. In addition to the thorough knowledge of his work and his ability to explain it simply, the episode is captioned with further information one of Porsche's popular but less regarded models, and how Kosilla does what he does.
You'll find a compelling 29 minute masterclass in the video below.
