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.

Ford GT dominates Le Mans qualifying, gets slapped with performance adjustment

Fri, Jun 17 2016

Fifty years after Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon drove the Ford GT40 to victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Ford is poised for a historic return to the Circuit de la Sarthe. The new Ford GT took the top two qualifying positions in the LMGTE Pro class, and four of the top five. Ferrari's 488 filled in the rest of the spots in the top seven, the first two from AF Corse. In other words, we're primed for a reboot of the classic Ford-Ferrari feud at this year's race. Or not, as the ACO, which organizes the 24 Hours of Le Mans, announced sweeping pre-race Balance of Performance (BOP) adjustments this morning that make this year's GT class anybody's race. In LMP1, last year's overall winner Porsche locked up the top two spots with the 919 Hybrid and will lead the entire field at race start. Toyota's two-car factory effort followed with qualifying times 1.004 and 2.170 seconds behind the pole lap. Audi rounds out the manufacturer-backed LMP1 class in fifth and sixth. Full qualifying results can be found here. The storyline for the GT cars is perfect - some say too perfect. Ford's class-leading times came after BOP adjustment to the Corvette Racing C7.R before qualifying. BOP is intended to level the playing field in the class by adjusting power, ballast, and fuel capacity. (Check out this explainer video for more, or even just if you love French accents.) But the process is riddled with unknowns and ripe for accusations of sandbagging. That is, if the Ford cars were intentionally slow in practice they could hope for BOP adjustment to improve their race chances. On the Corvette side, last year's GTE Pro winner went from the top of the field to the bottom, barely improving from practice to qualifying. If you think Le Mans is as rigged at the NBA Playoffs, well, it's not that simple. Because if Ford and Ferrari held back until qualifying - the eighth-place Porsche 911 RSR is three-and-a-half seconds off the class pole time - it was a pretty dumb strategy. This morning, the ACO tried to put things back in order by limiting the boost in the Ford GT's twin-turbo V6 and adding 11 pounds of ballast. Ferrari was also given extra weight but allowed more fuel capacity. The Corvette and Aston Martin teams were both given breaks on their air restrictors, which will allow their engines to make more power. Both Ford and Porsche also received extra fuel capacity.

Porsche gives GT3 owners extra year of warranty, new engines in production April 22

Sat, 12 Apr 2014

While the auto industry reels from massive recall after massive recall, Porsche has quietly been working on a fix for an issue that's forced owners of the new 911 GT3 to park their track-ready rockets for fear of an engine fire. Thanks to a leaked letter from Porsche to a GT3 owner (which has been certified as real), we now have an idea of just where the German brand is at with the fix.
On April 22, Porsche will begin production of a new batch of GT3 engines for the 785 affected models across the globe. As you'll recall, the original issue rested with a screw joint that could loosen the connecting rod. The new engines have an "optimized piston rod screw connection," that should keep the connecting rod in place. Once technical validations are completed, production will kick off and new powerplants will be shipped around the globe for owners of the troubled cars.
Porsche will hand out a certificate to owners of affected cars once repairs have been completed, as a means of documenting the work. To make up for the trouble, Porsche will be giving owners an extra year on their new-vehicle warranty, while the 911 GT3 concierge will be reaching out to compensate them for having to park their car for so long.

Driving the Panamera and Mike's Rant | Autoblog Podcast #487

Thu, Sep 8 2016

This week we cover some recent news like the upcoming Land Rover Discovery, updates to FCA's large car platform (including the Challenger), and talk about water injection. Then we go into what we've been driving - David just finished his time in the Porsche Panamera Turbo and Mike tried the GMC Acadia. And then Mike (who is still uncomfortable writing in the third person) goes on a rant about why automakers shouldn't specify which cars are aimed at women. The rundown is below. Remember, if you have a car-related question you'd like us to answer or you want questionable buying advice, send a message or a voice memo to podcast at autoblog dot com.
