This is some what of a special 1985 porsche carrera cabriolet. It was first sold in 1991 with 17k on the clock.It was a porsche executive car and may have been a special wishes car? It came with 8 way power heated seats, color matched 15 inch fuchs, cruise control, ac, manual convertable top.It was owned by the same person since 1991 until now. The previous owner was a fanatic when it came to maintenance, and changed the oil every 3000 miles!!! I have 22 years of records and it is also on a spread sheet!.He also kept track of every fill up and mileage! It was sold new here in the bay area, california, never been in an accident,no rust! I recently performed a major svc and resealed alot oil leaks.During the valve adjustment I checked the valve guide play and it was very slight and the cams and rockers look new.It has 221k original miles but you would never know it. It runs extremely well, very quiet, no cam chain noise, pulls with plenty of power, no smoke, passes california smog easily! I also changed the cam lines,oil preesure switch, t stat o ring, updated 2 wire head temp sensor, engine out service,presure washed everything,very clean dry engine and trans. Transmission was rebuilt a few years ago, swepco 201 fluid, no grinds, 1st and 2nd syncros are great.Turbo tie rods pretty much the only mod on the car.Now the paint clearcoat is peeling on the hood and fenders,dash is cracked,tach intermittent, clock inop, mirrors inop, ac needs a charge, rear window is foggy and has small cracks.(this zips out so should be an easy fix) Cab top was replaced and is in good shape, goes up and down smoothly. This is a great opportunity to get into a classic carrera cab at a good price, it is mechanically excellent and would not hesitate driving it cross country! Give it a paint job and some cosmetics and you will have a very enjoyable car with many more fun miles! I have been a porsche tech and shop owner for 20 years and this 3.2 runs as good as any I have ever worked on.It comes with all records, books, tools, air compressor,clear california title ready to transfer.Please have good feedback and be a seriuos buyer, I reserve the right to end auction at any time due to it being for sale locally. THIS IS A TRUE NO RESERVE AUCTION!! Bid to win and ask questions! Check my feedback I take it very serious,will help with loading onto shipper or I encourage flying out and driving home!! good luck!

This Porsche 356 family keeps it outlaw
Wed, 29 Oct 2014Rod Emory was the founder of Emory Motorsports in Burbank, CA, and the scion to a family tradition of building "outlaw" Porsches that are almost as cool as the cars themselves. The lovingly modified Porsche 356s are lovely artifacts, and their story, along with the story of their builders, is pitch-perfect for the Petrolicious oeuvre of beloved classics.
Tune in for the history lesson, and then stick around for the car candy.
Preparing for Le Mans 2014 Porsche remembers 1971 and the 917 [w/video]
Sun, 07 Apr 2013Porsche has given us another look back at its successes at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This time it's 1971, the year that its 917 set records that haven't all been eclipsed. It's 45-kilogram magnesium tube frame was the lightest, Jackie Oliver set the fastest in-race lap with a time that still stands, and winning drivers Helmut Marko - the same Helmut Marko currently with Infiniti Red Bull Racing - and Gilles Lethem did so many laps that their distance wasn't exceeded until the Audi R15 TDI did it in 2010.
1971 was also the year of the "Pink Pig." With bodywork created by a French aerodynamics firm, the wider, rounder 917 earned the porcine moniker so Porsche painted it pink and labeled it with the cuts you'd get from a pig. Sponsor Martini was so miffed they demanded all Martini branding be removed. No one can remove the thousands of photographs taken of the car ever since. Enjoy that and more in the video below.
