This is what happens when a seemingly sane man, comes up with a less then sensible idea! As you might guess, this guy is me.
Several months back, I was at a local cars show with my 1979 Porsche 930. As I was admiring it and looking at all the people taking pictures of it, something happened. The most amazingly beautiful red 87 Porsche with RS America body trim pulled up next to my car. I thought to my self, how could this car out shine my pristine Porsche 930? Moments later, I found myself in a wonderful conversation with the owner. It turns out he is a somewhat famous clothing manufacturer, and car collector. We had been talking for sometime when he mentioned that the Porsche might be for sale, if the price was right. He threw out a price that I thought was about $10,000 high, but it didn’t matter, I wasn’t going to buy it. As the day progressed and I walked around the car show, I thought once again to myself. I could buy the 87 Porsche (best year ever built), and take the motor and trans from the car, and put it in my Porsche 930...then do a back date kit to an RSR. Makes sense, RIGHT? The 1987 Porsche has the 3.2L motor, G50 transmission, better AC and suspension. I can’t believe how brilliant I am. I would build myself one of the “SINGER 911” for a fraction of the price, a lot less then $400,000. I was able to put a deal together with the owner later that day, and the mental preparation started. When I got the car, I drove it for a couple days to assess my purchase and the overall condition of the car. I found it to be a wonderful driver, with a couple small issues. The transmission shifted wonderful but the shifter was loose, and the engine had a minor oil leak. I brought the car over to Competition Porsche Specialists, and had Herb redo the front and rear shifter bushings, and fix the oil leaks. The car was at the shop for about 3 weeks being repaired. In that time a silly little thought came into my mind. “What the hell am I thinking!” I’m going to take 2 amazingly beautiful cars, and use them to make a car I hope to be half as nice as the ones I started with. The lights and bells in my head were going off saying, abort project, abort project. In a split second of clarity I was able to save 2 beautiful cars from the hands of a mad man. So now I have the car, and really no need for it, so I really should sell it.
The car is a 1987 Porsche 911 Targa, with an RS America body kit. I was told that all the parts are factory Porsche, including the rear tail. The 3.2L motor was rebuilt about 70k miles ago, and the trans was done more recently. The paint on the car looks factory, or maybe even better. There is only a couple of very small rock chips on the front of the car. The interior is in fantastic shape, and the seat have just been redone, The Targa top has also been redone. The car sits on some light weight Porsche ROH race wheels, and the tires are almost full rubber. The car has an upgraded alarm, stereo, power windows and locks, and the Air Conditioning is ICE Cold. The car runs and drives wonderful, and could be used as a show car or daily driver. I have set the reserve at a very reasonable amount to ensure the car sells. Please ask all questions before bidding.
I own a racing business, and I’m sometimes hard to get a hold of. I don’t check my email as often as I should, but if you email me I will get back to you. The best way to reach me is always by phone, my number is 1-818-802-7374. You can always check me out so you know who your dealing with at www.opentrackracing.com .

The Porsche 911 may, for some, be the quintessential sportscar. And that typically means keeping it on paved roads and racing circuits. But there's a proud history to taking the Elfen off-road that traces back to specially-prepared 911s (like the one pictured above) which Porsche fielded in rallies in the late '70s and early '80s. And now Porsche is reportedly preparing to tap back into that history with a new off-road 911 model, according to the Auto Bild Motor Revue.
Tipped to be called the 911 Safari, the special variant would be based on the Carrera 4 but upgrade with bigger tires fitted to a beefed-up suspension with higher ground clearance and underbody skid plates. The model is expected to be presented initially as a concept at the Beijing Motor Show next April. But if enough interest is expressed - particularly from buyers in developing markets where the roads might not be as smooth as those to which North American and European drivers have become accustomed - Stuttgart could put it into production in 2016, when the current 991 is expected to get a mid-cycle refresh.

Today, we have the Porsche 918 Spyder. Before that, there was the Carrera GT. While both of those cars are dramatic departures from the traditional, rear-engine Porsche formula, they owe their very existence to another wild child of the iconic German brand - the 959.
Like so many of the great performance cars of yesteryear, the 959 was a homologation special, built just so Porsche could go racing in the clinically insane Group B rally series. Fewer than 400 959s hit the streets, but those that did were some of the most advanced cars of the 1980s. A rear-mounted, twin-turbocharged flat-six sent its power through a still-rare all-wheel-drive system, creating a race-inspired rocket that was, for a short time, the fastest production car on the planet.
Xcar has the story of the 959, from its inception to its conquest of the Paris-Dakar rally, which is interspersed with a drive of the legendary coupe. Scroll down for the full video.

Fans of Porsche in America have longed for the chance to buy a 959 ever since the German automaker produced and sold it (well, sold it everywhere but the United States...) in the 1980s. Well, they just had their chance. The car you see above is a Porsche 959 prototype built in 1986, and only one other running prototype still exists.
The 959 prototype can't be driven on public roads, as it carries no such certification. Somehow, we doubt that matters all that much to the new buyer - this one is probably going to be sitting in a collection. When the gavel finally fell, bidding had reached $400,000, plus a 10-percent buyer's fee.
Check out our high-res image gallery above to see this prototype up close, and scroll down below to watch a video of it crossing the auction block and for its official auction description.
