I am selling my 1986 911 Black on Black, Tail Free, Carrera Coupe with Factory Sport Seats.  This car is very solid and comes with one of the most complete and extensive service histories you will find (back to 1989).   In the past 4-5 years, nearly all major components have either been rebuild or refurbished to a very high standard.  This includes an engine out top end rebuild with a clutch replacement (40K miles ago), as well as a full front and rear suspension rebuild.  Comes with all of the books and a relatively complete tool kit.  This is an extraordinarily clean mid-80's era 911.

The longest ownership (15 years) was by an extremely anal PCA member who used the car for daily commuting.  If there was ever anything that was not perfect on the car, he had it replaced or repaired.  I have the book of service receipts to prove that.  There are over 30K in receipts for the last few years alone.  This car was fastidiously and lovingly cared for all of its life.  Please do not let the milage dissuade you.  I've driven cars with less than half the miles of this car, and they are no where near as good.  No squeaks, whistles, rattles or odd noises.  I have used it as my daily driver for a year, and it has been strong and trouble free.  You have to drive this car to appreciate it.

The Good:
  • Paint and body is is 8.5/10
  • Interior is clean with beautiful carpets and panels.  No rips or blemishes.
  • Excellent leather seats with some minor scuffing on the drivers bolsters
  • Perfect dash with no cracks
  • Factory Sport Seats
  • All electrical systems are perfect
  • New fans (rear aux fan and front a/c condenser fan)
  • AC is in excellent working order and has had an R134 conversion
  • No terrible modifications (comes with a performance chip, stock chip was retained)
  • New front torsion bars and components
  • Recent rear suspension rebuild
  • Engine overhauled by 40K miles ago excellent shop (Taylor Chapman)
  • Original Fuchs (no blemishes)
  • New windshield
  • 86 Cars had the updated ventilation system for better AC air flow
Not as goods: (see below for description)
  • 1st gear synchro (all others are great, see below for description)
  • Small rust spot under battery tray (not into suspension)
  • Non original stereo (blaupunkt single cd in dash)
  • Minor paint chips and a small ripple at the bottom of passenger door
  • Some stitching out of steering wheel
Disclosures and explanations:

I hope to represent the car as honestly as possible without too much hyperbole.  It is not a perfect car with zero miles.  The first gear issue is as follows:  When coming to a stop, do not put the trans into first gear until you have come to a complete stop.  That's it.  The paint overall is really nice, but under the lights and on the hood are a a few small chips.  You really have to look closely.  As shown in the pictures, the top of the steering wheel is missing some stitching.  The leather is excellent otherwise, and these stitches don't seem to actually do very much.  Please ask questions.  I don't want anyone to feel as though I didn't represent the car as well as possible.  Great drivers are hard to come by and this one should not be missed.  A great modern feel in a very classic 911 form.

    Automakers want to stop the EPA's fuel economy rules change, and why that's a shortsighted move

    Tue, Dec 6 2016

    With a Trump Administration looming, the EPA moved quickly after the election to propose finalizing future fuel economy rules last week. The auto industry doesn't like that (surprise), and has started making moves to stop the EPA. Ford CEO Mark Fields said he wanted to lobby Trump to lower the standards, and now the Auto Alliance, a manufacturer group, is saying it will join the fight against cleaner cars. The Alliance represents 12 automakers: BMW, Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Porsche, Toyota, VW, and Volvo. Gloria Bergquist, a spokesperson for the Alliance, told Automotive News that the "EPA's sudden and controversial move to propose auto regulations eight months early - even after Congress warned agencies about taking such steps while political appointees were packing their bags - calls out for congressional action to pause this rulemaking until a thoughtful policy review can occur." The EPA was going to consider public comments through April 2017, but then said it would move the deadline to the end of December. That means that it can finalize the rules before President Obama leaves office. The director of public affairs for the Consumer Federation of America, Jack Gillis, said on a conference call with reporters last week when the EPA originally announced its decision that it is unlikely that President Trump will be able to roll back these changes. Gillis also said on the same call that any attempt by the automakers to prevent these changes would be history repeating itself. "These are the same companies that fought airbags, and now promoting the fact that every car has multiple airbags," he said. "These are the same companies that fought the crash-test program, and now are promoting the crash-test ratings published by the government. So, it's clear that they're misperceiving the needs of the American consumer." There are more reasons the Allliance's pushback is flawed. Carol Lee Rawn, the transportation program director for Ceres, said on that call that the automotive industry is a global one, and many automakers are moving to global platforms to help them meet strict fuel economy rules around the world.

    Porsche 919 Hybrid revives Porsche's factory Le Mans efforts

    Tue, 04 Mar 2014

    After months of teasing with camouflaged testers, Porsche has finally unveiled its prototype entry for the 2014 World Endurance Championship, the 919 Hybrid. Porsche, you may recall, hasn't had campaigned a factory team at Le Mans in years, so the 919 is nothing less than their recommitment to endurance racing.
    Combining a 2.0-liter V4 (yes, a V4) that revs to 9,000 rpm, the 919 produces around 500 horsepower with a pair of energy recovery systems. The first system recovers the heat energy from exhaust gasses as they pass through an electrical generator, while the second system is a bit more familiar. Using a setup similar to what is found on the production 918 Spyder, a generator on the front axle recovers kinetic energy from the brakes, which is subsequently stored in a battery system. That power can then be sent to the front wheels at the driver's command, effectively turning the 919 into an all-wheel-drive racecar.
    Despite these various forms of motivation, Porsche doesn't claim to be seeking outright power supremacy, with Chairman Matthias Müller saying, "In 2014, it will not be the fastest car that wins the World Endurance Championship series and the 24 hours of Le Mans, rather it will be the car that goes the furthest with a defined amount of energy. And it is precisely this challenge that carmakers must overcome. The 919 Hybrid is our fastest mobile research laboratory and the most complex race car that Porsche has ever built."

    Dan Neil pokes fun at the celeb cars of 2014

    Sun, Dec 28 2014

    Look, we try really hard not to pay any attention to the Kardashians and their vapid reality TV empire. But, as troubling as that brood may be, occasionally we're impressed and/or horrified by their four-wheeled conveyances. In fact, that curiosity extends beyond talentless reality stars with rotund glutes to celebs in general. That's why we're enjoying Dan Neil's sometimes biting take on the celebrity cars of 2014. Besides paying tribute to Kim K, husband Kanye West and the adorable Lamborghini that their spawn rides about in, Neil also takes a look at LeBron James' turn as a Kia spokesman and boxer Floyd Mayweather's trio of Bugatti Veyrons. Matthew McConaughey is a focus of Neil's as well, thanks to his oft-panned advertisements for Lincoln (and the raucous parodies they inspired), before finishing on the high, with Jerry Seinfeld and his new Porsche 918 Spyder. Take a look at Neil's recap of the celebrity cars of 2014. News Source: The Wall Street Journal Celebrities Humor Bugatti Kia Lamborghini Lincoln Porsche Videos porsche 918 spyder celebrity dan neil
