I'm selling this vehicle for a friend of mine who purchased it back in April/May timeframe. I helped advise the owner on the purchase so know the vehicle fairly well. Owner is now selling unfortunately because of major health issues. The paint is original. there is no rust on the vehicle. There are a couple of areas where there was some touch up done. Primarily on the wheel well area behind the drivers front door and by the handle of the drivers front door. Both a body shop and two porsche mechanics looked at it and said it was minor. There may be a couple of small dings but very minor. The vehicle was not in an accident per the previous owner and the car fax also states it was not in an accident. I have a handful of receipts including the original owner omanuals as well as the original window sticker from Jess Jones Porsche of West New York, NJ. Interior is in great shape and original. No tears. Approx. 1/2 in small crack in dash on the passenger side. Headliner is all there but detaching slightly by the sunroof area.

Mechanically the porsche runs smooth and shifts well. The following is a listing of work that a certified porsche mechanic had done to the vehicle to ensure it is buttoned up/caught up on all necessary maintenance and mechanical upkeep.

*New sway bar mounts, *Sway bar bushings, *Valve cover set, *Spark plugs, *Air filter, *Oil cooler line, *Cam feed oil line, *Hood struts, *Front strut hardware, *Front break rotor, *Front pad set, *Front pad sensors, *W-brng seal, *Hub o-ring, *Inner wheel bearing, *Outer wheel bearing, *Rear break rotor, *Rear pad set, *Rear pad sensors, *Axle boot set

Wheels are original and in very good shape and tires also are about 6 months old.

All in all the owner spent about $5,000 to update the mechanics to ensure it is a daily driver and dependable. He unfortunately will take a loss on the sale but can sell knowing that the vehicle is up to snuff for driving for a number of years without issues.

Lastly the ac I believe works but may need a freon fill.

The reserve is set at a very reasonable number -- way below its value in order to sell. It's a solid 911 with options that you don't see often.

I've been as transparent as I can in the description. Vehicle is sold as is from a private seller. No warranty will accompany the vehicle as it is a final sale.

Thanks and please bid only if you are serious. Good luck!

The mid-engine Porsche backstory

Thu, 09 Oct 2014

As an automaker's identity evolves over years, its signature becomes defined by any number of factors - heritage (Mercedes-Benz), image (Lamborghini), or market share (Toyota). In the case of Porsche, it was an engineering quirk that forged the German company's most enduring character trait.
Porsche would not have survived - let alone, thrived - in today's saturated landscape had it not been for the 911, and that slope-tailed sports car wouldn't have sprung to life without its predecessor, the 356. While phenomenal success of those rear-engine icons built the company, forays into the mid-engine configuration have played a significant part in establishing the brand's identity.

McQueen's Porsche 917 from Le Mans races to the auction block

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

Steve McQueen may have been the headline actor of the motorsport cult classic film Le Mans, but we all know who the real star was. Or rather, what: the Porsche 917. More specifically, it was the Gulf-liveried #22 - not McQueen's #21 - that won the race, making it one of the most iconic cars ever to drive across the silver screen. And now it's going up for auction.
This 1969 Porsche 917K, chassis 917-024, has a storied history both on and off the screen, even if it didn't win any (off-screen) races of note. This example was the first 917 to be campaigned in an actual race when Porsche handed it to Jo Siffert to drive against the Ferrari 312P and Ford GT40 at the Spa-Francorchamps 1000 Km race in 1969. Siffert found the early example too unstable and ultimately drove an earlier 908 to the checkered flag, but after 917-024 set the fastest time at the following year's Le Mans test day, Siffert acquired it outright.
The Swiss racing driver loaned the car to Solar Productions for use in the film, after which it returned to Siffert's collection until he was killed in an F1 exposition race at Brands Hatch in 1971. In a testament to how much he loved the car, it was 917-024 that lead the funeral procession. The car subsequently fell off the radar until it resurfaced in 2001 as one of the greatest barn finds of the new millennium. Now fully restored and resplendent in its original baby blue and orange, 917-024 is headed to the auction block at Pebble Beach where you can be sure that Gooding & Company will bring in a suitably high price for arguably the most iconic example of one of the most iconic Porsches of all time.

Audi CEO says brand's EVs are almost as profitable as its other cars

Mon, Oct 4 2021

After, oh, a hundred years or so of building vehicles primarily powered by internal combustion engines, automakers around the world have been and still are pumping billions of dollars into the development of electric vehicle technology. Everything from platforms and batteries to motors and the software to control it all requires untold hours of development, and that takes time and money. Fortunately, it's not going to take long for that massive investment to start paying off, at least according to Audi CEO Markus Duesmann, who told Reuters in an interview that "The point where we earn as much money with electric cars as with combustion engine cars is now, or ... next year, 2023. They are very even now, the prices." As a brand, Audi contributed more than a quarter of overall profit for the massive Volkswagen Group, which has such powerhouse brands as Volkswagen and Porsche among others. Under the Audi umbrella are Lamborghini, Bentley and Ducati, and it seems those high-end branches aren't going anywhere, at least for now. "These brands ... are very valuable very profitable brands, where we can even expand the synergy level in the future," Duesmann said in the interview. "There are no plans whatsoever to get rid of them." Despite the overall profitability of the brand, the ongoing global chip crisis is causing headaches. "We had a very strong first half in 2021. We do expect a much weaker second half," said Duesmann, who added, "We really have trouble." In fact, so serious is the trouble that the brand is forced into "a day-to-day troubleshooting process" to limit the chip-shortage damage. The good news for the automaker is that Audi has been able to boost its profit margin from 8% prior to the pandemic in 2019 to 10.7% in the first half of 2021. The bad news is that various chip shortages aren't expected to get a whole lot better over the rest of the year. Related video:
