With the exception of a few disparate models scattered over the decades, Porsche has built its fame and fortune on a single rear-engine sports car, the 911. From rather humble beginnings, the Porsche 911 has gone on to be one of the most influential and most recognizable vehicles in the world. Although other sports cars have been able to outperform the 911 in one area or another, nothing has yet to match Porsche's overall blend of performance, practicality and that endearing connection between car and driver. This 964 version of the car provides stunning levels of performance without sacrificing much in terms of day-to-day usability, and many Porsche purists still consider the 911 the only "real" Porsche. In Cabriolet form, they only built 600 of them for the US and Canadian market combined! Considering that the split was about 60% US to 40% CN, and included C-2 and C-4 models with 5-speed and tiptronic, there can't be too many of these around! Especially as original and fine as this one! With an MSRP of about seventy nine thousand, it's a true bargain today This rare and highly sought after 1990 Porsche Carrera 964 Cabriolet is the last generation of the HAND BUILT chassis. A very high grade car with impeccable service records. Built with 4-speed Tiptronic transmission, tan leather interior, full power cabriolet top, climate control A/C-heat, power steering, power door locks, ABS brakes, driver and passenger air bags, full 8-way power drivers seat with lumbar, 6- speaker stereo sound system, power windows, central locking with factory alarm, cruise control, leather seats, all-around, power/heatable rear view mirrors, intermittent wipers, halogen H-5 headlamps, 16-inch wheels, retracting power rear spoiler, Guards red paint work is immaculate considering the age of the original paint. Central to the this car's strong personality is its marvelous 3.6-liter flat-six engine. Producing 247 hp at 6100 rpm and 229 pound-feet of torque at 4800, this powerplant has plenty of low-rev grunt, and yet it pulls fiercely right up to its 6800-rpm redline. No money were spared on this car. Exhaust system replaced with upgraded high flow dual outlet stainless steel Fabspeed system; performance DME E-Prom from Autothority Engineering; upgraded rear bumper cover to accommodate dual outlet performance stainless exhaust; updated convertible folding top assembly with left and right gear mechanism; brakes serviced at 47201, Tiptronic transmission maintenance service performed at the same time; oil change done at 42775-passed enhanced emissions and safety inspection at the same time; new ZF steering rack with new rubber mounting bushings; new Interstate battery; new ZF steering pump with belt; alternator with new belts; major service done within the last 2000 miles; new spark plugs, distributor caps, rotors; cam covers resealed, timing chain cases resealed, crank seals all replaced with major service; invoices available detailing all work done by a German specialty service center. Continental DWS tires on rear wheels are new, 2 front continental tires are in need of replacement but no cords exposed; There are a few imperfections which I am aware of with photos in this listing. The right door edge half way up has a small crease which Im sure happened in my garage. The front hood has a small coin sized dent to the right of the Porsche emblem which can be corrected with painless dent. A small car accident (2/2011) to the front bumper cover ended up as small crack above the right turn indicator and scratch marks which are barely visible. The under side of the front bumper is pushed up slightly and the sheet metal underside slightly creased from contact with a concrete parking block. I valet parked the car one night and didn't notice it until days later which is very aggravating. Canvas top has a slight 20 millimeter tear on it left side. This section of the top is double layered and the tear is only on the outer portion of the canvas. There is no hole which goes right through canvas to the interior. The right tail light has hairline cracks from aging plastic lens but no moisture has entered. Some of the hand tools are missing from the tool pouch but jack and air compressor are ok. Im sure they are in my garage somewhere but can't seem to find them. Plastic surround trim to in dash cd player cracked and fell off. The leather steering wheel and leather shift knob are in excellent condition. The drivers seat side bolster shows some wear, discoloration and cracking but no tears or holes. I have many more photos but listing only allowed 24 photos. I can send more photos of specific areas at your request. Lastly I've owned this car since 2003 which I purchased with roughly 30,000 miles. |

Porsche offering new tire option for Carrera GT
Mon, 19 Aug 2013Let's face it: finding new tires for older cars can be challenging if tire manufacturers have stopped carrying the right sizes (this writer went through Hell to find a set of 205/60-13s). But what about tires for low-volume supercars, which use sizes that often won't fit on high-volume production vehicles? The Porsche Carrera GT isn't that old and tires are still available in the correct sizes, but the German automaker has shown its support of keeping them on the road by working with Michelin to give owners yet another tire option. Enter the Carrera GT-specific Pilot Super Sport.
It's common knowledge that tires are one of the most important pieces of the performance puzzle, and Porsche claims that the PSS tires, sized 265/35ZR-19 front and 335/30ZR-20 with Porsche's "N0" rating, will improve the Carrera GT's handling and stability all the way up to its claimed top speed of 205 miles per hour. That's important for a car with razor-sharp handling characteristics. They'll also net drivers a 10-percent increase in fuel economy on regular roads and up to 20 percent on racetracks, Porsche says.
The PSSs use cutting-edge tire technology to harness the Carrera GT's 610-horsepower. They have a dual-compound tread that's different from the inside of the tire to the outside, which, Porsche says, helps steering precision and increases maximum grip. Aramid fibers, which are lightweight but just as strong as steel, are used in the tire's belt to reduce unsprung weight.
Wingsuits are somehow involved in new season of 'Top Gear'
Mon, Jan 14 2019It's a shame that Matt LeBlanc is leaving "Top Gear," but there's a bit of solace in the situation: There's still one more season of him as frontman. BBC just released the new trailer for series 26, and it shows LeBlanc, Chris Harris and Rory Reid getting into all sorts of shenanigans around the globe. "Top Gear" announced LeBlanc's imminent departure back in May 2018, but he still had to finish one more season before leaving. Thus, the upcoming series will be his last, and it looks like he'll go out in a whirlwind of dust, bent metal, water spray and burnt rubber. The trailer shows everything expected from a season of the storied automotive show (well, everything except Hammond, May, and Clarkson, if you're one of those people). There will be precision driving, dubious stunts, name-calling and gobs of stunning videography. In the short one-minute clip, there are flashes of numerous attention-piquing vehicles. The new Bentley Continental GT, a Bentley Le Mans racer, Porsches, Ferraris, the Aston Martin Vantage, and the Mercedes-AMG GT all make appearances. And for some random fun, the boys are seen in wingsuits (doubtful it's actually them), and playing polo in some three-wheel rickshaws (before wrecking said rickshaws). We'll update with more information as soon as we know when the show will start.

Porsche Classic launching branded motor oil for air-cooled boxer engines
Tue, 17 Jun 2014It's hard not to love the look of a classic Porsche. Whether it's the upside-down bathtub styling of the 356 or the gradual evolution of the 911, there is a little beauty in all of them. However, the older they get, the more that needs repaired to keep them on the road. Porsche Classic is helping out, though, by introducing its own brand of motor oil for the demands of the company's vintage, air-cooled engines.
Developed at the Porsche Development Centre in Weissach, Germany, Porsche Classic Motoroil comes in two weights - 20W-50 for the 356, 914 and 911 models up to the 2.7-liter G-Model and 10W-60 for 3.0-liters-and-up engines through the 993-chassis 911. The company claims that the air-cooled engines have different heat demands than traditional, water-cooled units, and this oil is made to meet those requirements.
According to Porsche, modern, synthetic oils are sometimes too effective when it comes to old engines. They are fantastic at sopping up debris, but those deposits are often holding archaic seals together. Suddenly removing them can cause leaks. The new oil is specifically designed to work with the old-fashioned materials found in its classics. The company also knows that most owners aren't driving their vintage cars everyday. So this formulation is more alkaline that normal to neutralize acids that they build up and corrode components.
