1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe
Here goes...
This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION for one of the most iconic, sought after sports cars ever made...A Guards Red 1987 G-50 Carrera Coupe w/ 90K Miles...Power Sunroof(needs cable)...Working Factory A/C...Original and still Guards Red...Black Leather Interior...Southern states 911 that is 100% RUST FREE with a LAZER STRAIT BODY...I found this 911 in a customer's garage in South Georgia...The car had been sitting for 5 years...3 weeks ago, I had every intention of putting this car through a 100%, NO EXPENSE SPARED restoration...Here's what we have done so far...
We flushed the gas tank and added "sea foam" gas and fuel system cleaner/conditioner...10 gallons of fresh 93 octane and she fired right up...2 fuel injectors, fresh GTX 20w50 and filter, and 6 new plugs later, we were running around town in our new found 911...I ordered brand new Euromeister Aftermarket Fuchs 7's and 8's by 16...You will also get the original Fuchs/they are pitted...Also ordered brand new Continental DW's in factory correct sizes 205/55ZR16's and 225/50ZR16's...Original tires were dry rotted...Had the body prep work done to get ready for the paint shop...Had several tiny dings/dents in the body...NO RUST...It is now ready for paint...
Yesterday, my master tech Andrew called me and said we needed to talk...He was taking the valve covers off do a valve adjustment and a broken head stud fell out...It was broken in half and had been broken for a long time...No noise, no issues at all with the engine up to that point...Heck, I had put 75 miles on the car running around town and back and forth to work from the house...I have had a dozen of these cars in the past and this car's engine is spot on with the oil pressure at running temp...He said I might be able to drive it another 10000 miles with no issue...But, he also said I could have a major failure tomorrow...So, my plans for a full restoration are on the back burner...This is where YOU come in...
I have set the initial bid price very, very low...This covers most of my cost involved with the purchase of the 911, the service work, body work, and new parts that come with the car and still leaves plenty of room to finish the car up and have a super nice 911...What is left? Head stud kit...Paint...Driver's side seat cover...Headliner/brand new headliner in the box is included...Sunroof cable(the motor works with switch, just doesn't open and close)...Fuel sending unit (gas gauge inop)...Needs parking brake cable installed (included)...Install new tires and wheels(best to ship with old ones on so the new ones don't get damaged)...Probably needs additional items but this is what I noticed after driving it for 3 weeks...
Brakes, transmission(including syncros), shocks, shifter, and all else works like it should...A/C could probably use a charge, but as I said, I have been driving this car for 3 weeks and it has done perfectly...The only thing that you will notice while driving is that the gas gauge reads empty and I know it has plenty of gas and the sunroof won't open...Everything else mechanically on the car is functioning like it should be...
GOOD LUCK and call me if you have any questions...I plan on letting this auction run until its done...I do have it advertised locally, so it could sell to someone else even if there are bids...I will give the high bidder the opportunity to match the local offer, in the event of a local buyer...AGAIN, GOOD LUCK BIDDING...I have clear GA title in hand...Thank you, Brian Gwaltney 770-898-1061...South Atlanta Motorsports has been selling top quality hand selected, premium luxury and sports cars in McDonough, GA since 2000...Home of the UNREAL356 Speedster Replica, we specialize in "special" Porsche vehicles...Just check us out...Thanks from Brian Gwaltney and South Atlanta Motorsports in McDonough, GA...
On Apr-16-13 at 13:43:54 PDT, seller added the following information:
Thanks for all of the questions and calls...YES, CARFAX IS CLEAN...NO DAMAGE HISTORY...In fact, this Carrera looks like a NO HIT BODY...CARFAX shows the 911 in Salt Lake City, UT in 1991, Lakeland, FL in 2000, and with my guy in GA in 2005...Hood has the VIN Decal near the back...The Porsche Options Decal is where it is supposed to be right by the hood latch mechanism...Other VIN Decal is on the Passenger Door where it should be...I see NO SIGNS of any PREVIOUS PAINT WORK or BODY WORK...
THANKS AGAIN AND GOOD LUCK BIDDING...
BRIAN

Stock Miata beats bunch of high-powered cars in wet 1/4-mile drag race
Thu, 06 Jun 2013When is a stock, 167-horsepower Mazda MX-5 Miata quicker than a Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lotus Elise and a Porsche 911? When it's raining. Sort of.
Mazda Canada arranged a unique drag race to show off the fact that the Miata's optional power retractable folding hardtop can go from top-down to top-up in just 12 seconds flat. In this video, all six cars line up for a drag race, and it starts to rain (well, sort of - but you'll have to watch the video all the way to the end to see what we mean). The green flag is waved, and the timer starts as soon as the convertibles begin to put their tops up. But because the Miata's roof mechanism gets the car's roof back up a full 5.1 seconds quicker than the second-place car, the Mazda gets a serious advantage off the line for the actual drag race.
It's a fun video. And while we've spoiled the results (come on, the video was uploaded by Mazda, you knew the Miata was going to win), be sure to see how it all unfolds, below.
DP Motorsport tries to turn a vintage Porsche 911 into a sleeper
Tue, 20 Aug 2013Once you get past the fact that it's hard to call a car a sleeper when it has race-product stickers on its quarter panel, and the script across the back panel reads "Porsche 911 3.2 Sleeper," it's fun to imagine what this car can do. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Porsche 911, Germany's DP Motorsport took a model from 1986, stripped it of everything - including the paint and undercoating - then replaced everything with lightweight and race-ready parts.
In went race cams and ported cylinder heads, a lightweight flywheel, an RSR titanium racing exhaust, 935-style lollipop seats and RSR carpeting, a lightweight battery, perforated and galvanized hinges and brackets, hardened perspex windows. The 3.2-liter engine puts out 270 horsepower - 70 hp above the stock 911 on sale here in 1986 - and 226 pound-feet of torque through a limited slip differential to staggered wheels. The exterior color is metallic rock-green lacquer.
If you want one, $120,00 is where the part starts, but DP Motorsport says it offers the parts individually if you don't need your vintage Porsche to sleep this hard. On a side note, for a chucklesome journey back in time, check out this review of the 1986 911 that gets things going with this line: "First off, the Porsche 911 is very expensive - how does about 40 thou grab you?" Back on topic, there's a press release below that tells the rest of the story of the 3.2 Sleeper.
Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy
Wed, 24 Jul 2013J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.
