This 1988 Porsche is a great driver. The color is (Felsen Gruen) which translates to Granite Green. This is a rare color that was only used a few years. Depending on the light, it looks green or grey. Purchased in 2006 with 166,498 miles out of Maryland. The body is rust free and straight, but has a few chips and a door ding or two befitting the mileage. The air conditioning blows cold air. The 3.2 Liter engine was completely rebuilt over the winter of 2007-08 and back in the car June 8, 2008. The engine was disassembled and reassembled at a local used car dealer, with the heads being sent out to EBS racing in Reno for a total rebuild. All new bearings, cam chains and basically every nut and bolt was replaced and new rings fitted, alternator replaced, all belts,etc. Mileage at rebuild 167,744. Current mileage 175,090. Tires and brakes only have a few thousand miles on them and battery replaced last year. This car is ready to drive, and all kinds of fun. Car has been stored winters, never seen snow or salt has been stored from early October to late April each year which is one part of why I am selling. I just have not used it much. I have a bag of receipts both from previous owners and myself that will go with this car. I will work with the buyer to assist getting the car to a shipper. This is a no-reserve auction so somebody will drive this car away at the end of the auction.
NOTE:
Convertible top is currently a manual lift top. The locking motors work perfectly, but the cables that raise and lower the top have not been reliable so I am selling it as a manual top. Driver's seat has a small tear on a stitch line, otherwise very good. Selling cheap so you can drive it as is or make it concours.

McLaren P1 vs Porsche 918 vs Ducati 1199 Superleggera in epic standing-mile drag race
Fri, 10 Oct 2014We live in a high-tech supercar renaissance, with the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari all duking it out for performance supremacy. All three members of this power trio place the engine behind the driver and use some kind of hybrid assist. However, each one finds a slightly different way to make that setup work. While all of the tech is insanely cool, let's just admit that we are all really wondering which one is the quickest and which is the fastest. Autocar aims to find out in a new video pitting two of them against a surprise challenger in the standing mile.
Unfortunately, the race is missing the Ferrari, despite Autocar's best efforts. So instead, it has another limited-edition, high-performance vehicle from Italy in the form of the Ducati 1199 Superleggera. The bike has just two cylinders, but at 1.2-liters of displacement, it makes over 200 horsepower, and all that gumption is packaged into a magnesium monocoque body with carbon fiber bodywork to keep weight low. Granted, the cycle is going up against the 875-hp Porsche and 903-hp McLaren, but traction, aerodynamics and gearing all play a part in this fascinating video.
There's no sense in ruining the winner before watching, but Autocar teases that the finish is one of its closest drag races ever. Check out the video to find out just what that means.
Porsche 918 Spyder pre-production version in all its almost-done glory
Sun, 18 Aug 2013Porsche continues the long tease of its upcoming 918 Spyder, with the latest instantiation here at the Pebble Beach Concours, with the car presented in pre-production form to the throngs on the golf course.
Just a few days ago Porsche dropped an image of the car on its official Twitter feed. True to that leak, this 918 looks damn near what we expect the full customer version to be when it is officially debuted in Frankfurt. The neon-green brake calipers are items new to this version of the 918, and seem to be an identical color to those found on the Panamera S E-Hybrid.
When it shows up as a drivable piece, expect the Porsche supercar, with its gasoline-electric drivetrain, to be pretty insane. Horsepower in excess of 800 ponies will be available with a toe-tap, while the price of entry is expected to come within shouting distance of $850,000. A good deal for Porsche to bring the thing to Pebble then, where buyers with that kind of cash are think on the ground (and most likely wearing sherbet-colored trousers).
Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid
Thu, 20 Dec 2012Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."
