Thank you for your interest. I am the third owner, and have only owned the car for a short while. The car was
purchased at Plaza Motor Company in Creve Coeur MO, and spent most of its life in Indiana. The car was sold by the
original family to a nephew in Florida in 2014. My goal was to bring the car to Concours condition, but I am
starting a business and need the cash for start-up costs. The car is mechanically in good condition, and I
recently spent $6100 on maintenance and upgrades.
I have scans of the invoice for the motor work and of the work performed recently in Houston. Also, I have records
including the original dealer invoice, but I don't have regular oil and brake fluid maintenance records before
2005. My understanding is that the car was maintained by the same mechanic (Farmer) for most of its life until
2014.
The car is stock in terms of suspension and other performance items besides the DME chip. The catalytic converter
was removed, but the original exhaust pipe is still on the car. The car was painted in 2005 and the seats were
recovered in the same year. This year, I replaced the existing performance chip with a Steve Wong chip, who also
upgraded the DME board to 28 pin.
Additionally, the motor was rebuilt in 2005 at 109K miles by Farmer Automotive in IN.Heads polished and ported,
cylinders honed, rings replaced, timing chain and rails replaced, valves ground, and guides replaced. 134a air
condition upgraded. Stereo replaced with Alpine CD player. The car has the following new items: Michelin Pilot
Sport tires, OEM brake pads and rotors in the front, rebuilt calipers front and back, SS brake lines, clutch cable,
shifter bushings, battery, spark plugs, air filter, valve adj, valve cover gaskets, Dot 4 brake fluid, Brad Penn
20/50 oil and filter.
The car runs really well. Pulls hard, and drives straight. I believe in as much disclosure as possible, so here
are the things I can think of that are negative:
1) Flaws in the paint job are difficult to detect unless viewed up close, but paint is not perfect.
2) The hood was replaced by the original owner. There is some small amount of corrosion on the hinges where the
new hood was attached, but the metal is solid. No evidence of accident under the car.
3) There is some corrosion around the battery box and the paper liner under the battery is ripped and brittle.
4) There is some corrosion around the underside of the rocker panels near the screw holes.
5) Occasionally, the first-to-second gear shift is a little notchy, so the synchro probably needs replacing at some
point in the future. The rest of the gears are smooth.
6) The front right corner of the windshield is slightly delaminated and you can see moisture. I have sealed the
gasket from the outside, so it shouldn't expand from there.
7) The roof has an indention about the size of a quarter, and maybe an 1/16 of an inch deep. Hard to detect unless
up close.
8) Rear glass heater does not work.

Pininfarina teases its Tesla- and Bugatti-baiting EV supercar

Tue, Jul 10 2018

Pininfarina isn't being bashful when it comes to getting into the car business. The Italian design house has revealed a sketch of the PF0 Concept, an electric supercar aimed directly at the world's fastest and most expensive vehicles. With upward of 1,000 horsepower, along with an expected price in the millions of dollars, this extreme EV is meant as a calling card for Pininfarina's upcoming range of electric cars and SUVs. So should the likes of Tesla, Porsche, Ferrari, Bugatti and Lamborghini be worried? Pininfarina might be new to building its own cars, but the company has many decades of experience designing and engineering some of the most desirable cars of all time — including many of the finest supercars to have worn a Ferrari badge on their nose. As we reported earlier this year, Pininfarina has teamed with Indian auto manufacturer, Mahindra, to develop a range of high-end EVs. With this roughly $500 million investment, not to mention some engineering help from Croatian supercar manufacturer, Rimac, Pininfarina aims to start high. The company will first introduce a hypercar, based on the PF0 Concept, within two years, then bring along a range of more affordable electric cars and SUVs. These will more directly take on the likes of Porsche Cayenne, Lamborghini Urus, and Tesla Model X. So yes, if you're in the business of building expensive cars, especially ones with a lot of batteries positioned inside them, Pininfarina's plans for the PF0 (that's a zero, not the letter "O," by the way) should make you sit up and take notice. "Automobili Pininfarina is a pioneering new business created to service the most discerning clients in the world," said Michael Perschke, CEO for Automobili Pininfarina. "Our product portfolio will launch with an innovative, zero-emissions hypercar that represents the progression we aim to make at the pinnacle of the luxury and sports car market." According to its press release, Pininfarina is currently presenting its "business and product plans to prospective retailer partners, clients and media in New York this week." After its tour of the Big Apple, look for Pininfarina to officially reveal the PF0 Concept during Monterey Car Week in August.

1950s car ads are timeless

Sat, Aug 8 2015

Usually 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.

Porsche says next Cayenne will be faster than Bentley Bentayga

Fri, Jan 23 2015

Bentley and Porsche are both high-end marques under the same umbrella, and may even be collaborating on development of new models – but while they tend to take different approaches and go after different customers, that doesn't mean they can't share a bit of sibling rivalry. And that spirit of competition – even within the Volkswagen Group – looks to be coming to a head in the form of their upcoming luxury performance crossovers. For his part, Bentley CEO Wolfgang Durheimer promises that the brand's upcoming Bentayga sport-ute will (in its top spec with the W12 engine) be the fastest SUV on the market. But in speaking with Car and Driver, Wolfgang Hatz – who holds the Porsche R&D head office that Durheimer used to occupy – says the Bentley won't be king for long. Porsche just released the new Cayenne Turbo S in Detroit, touting it as the first SUV to crack the eight-minute barrier at the Nurburgring. And Hatz says that the next version will be even faster. "Our Cayenne is always very very quick. It is doing 300 km/h [186 mph]. I think if [Durheimer] is doing 2 to 3 km/h more, then why not? He's doing that with a 12-cylinder. Our car will be much quicker on the road." The next Cayenne is slated to use a new generation of engines, and according to Hatz, will benefit from the same (if not more) weight loss as the new Audi Q7 with which it will share its platform. That sounds like a winning combination to us. That is, at least, for fans of performance crossovers. For those who aren't, Porsche promises it won't be bolstering its lineup with any new ones. Apparently the Cayenne and the smaller Macan are enough. Nor will Zuffenhausen slot anything bigger than a V6 into the Macan, according to the report. While Porsche's baby crossover will surely continue to get faster with new iterations, the Cayenne will always remain the performance flagship of its SUV range.
