1985 Porsche 911 with rare factory M491 package (turbo-look).  The M491 package includes the Porsche turbo body (flared fenders), suspension and brakes, everything except the turbo motor!  Car has 147k well-maintained miles, approximately 5k miles per year.  This car was sold and maintained by Holbert Porsche in Pa up until last year (2012), when I bought it.  Extremely original car, no mods except for radio (original Becker is included), Momo Steering Wheel (original is included) and a Momo shift knob. The radio head unit is a Kenwood with iPod interface.  I also put Focal speakers in the doors and a powered Sub behind rear seat. all easily removed if desired.  Factory Options include full leather interior, sport seats, cruise control, factory alarm, and the M491 package (over $11,000 in 1985!).  Overall very good condition, clean carfax, original paint and interior.  The original Fuchs alloy wheels have new Bridgestone RE11 tires, 225 front, 245 rear.  

The motor runs very strong and the transmission shifts smoothly, this is a great running car!  The body panels are near perfect, no significant issues.  The interior is in good condition, the driver's side bolster on the desired sport seats is showing some wear, but not thru the leather.  There are some paint bubbles on the door jamb, but the consensus when talking to a restoration specialist is that it is surface rust only.  The underside of the car is clean and corrosion free.  
Here is a great opportunity to own a highly desirable factory Turbo-Look car in fantastic driving condition.  You won't be disappointed with this car!

Petrolicious details why the Porsche 911 is something special

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

The Porsche 911 is a special car, if for no other reasons than it's been continuously produced since 1964, with nearly every generation regarded as being at or near the top of its class. But why the rear-engined icon has done so well among enthusiasts and regular drivers alike can't always be explained easily. To truly understand the 911, you have to experience the whole package, and that means driving one.
While just about every publication has raved about the Porsche, commercial director, race driver, photographer and 911 owner Jeff Zwart explains to Petrolicious why he was drawn to the legend as a young child, and why he still loves them today.
Zwart's professional and personal life are inextricably linked to the 911, and hearing him talk about the car and its history makes for fascinating viewing. Watch the video below to hear Zwart's story and see him drive a couple examples from his collection: an early 911 and the 964-generation Carrera 4 he won Pikes Peak with for the first time - a car that happens to be equipped with the 959 Paris-Dakar's fascinating torque-split transmission. Enjoy!

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.

Magnus Walker soliloquizes in his Porsche 911 at night

Fri, 23 Aug 2013

Magnus Walker, a prolific Los Angeles clothing designer who has also carved out a respected spot for himself in Porsche world, has had yet another video made about him and his sizable Porsche collection. In this latest video, Hong Kong-based Obscura magazine focuses its video cameras on Walker and his 1971 Porsche 911 track car (yes, the one that appeared on Jay Leno's Garage) as he speeds around Downtown LA and Little Tokyo late at night.
We've heard Walker's story many times before. He's not like the average Porsche owner, perhaps a tad more passionate than most, and he builds 911s like he designs clothes: his way. Sure, we might be a little envious, but can you blame us? View this very slick and entertaining nighttime video entitled Disturbing The Peace below.
