Up for sale is our 96 911 C4. It is a great driving 911. It starts, idles, shifts, drives, and stops as it should. All accessories work as they should as well. The exterior is a good "driver" condition. Some scratches and nicks. The interior is very good. I believe I am the 4th owner with the 2nd and 3rd being somewhat short stints. 1st owner up to 2007, myself 2009-2013. I have driven the car 8500 miles in 4 years. The car has no mechanical needs. The oil temperature gauge will peg intermittently and need a "tap" on the dial to go back to accurate. Oil pressure can be as low as 2.5 bar at a hot idle on a hot day. Otherwise, it runs at 4+ at even the lowest throttle. Therefore, cooling is excellent as temp runs below middle of gauge at any and all times, even long idles in hot summer. The engine/transmission/differentials are in prefect working order. There are no dash lights on when car is running. CEL will come on every few months. I have all maintenance records except for what I have done during my ownership. 2 oil/filters changes ,3 Freon charges, new belts, front strut mounts and bilstein struts, 1 brake fluid flush, and a new cd player head unit, Pioneer along with original working Becker. Looking through records, the clutch was done at 115,000 and a reseal was done at around that time as well. A large list of items and services have been repaired/replaced/performed during ownership. I won't list them all as they are too numerous. Very caring owners. The wheels are replica wheels if memory serves me correct. Tires are a Kumho Ecsta with 70%+ tread. Car leaves a drip of oil a month on garage floor, nothing else. The car has had paintwork done. The right rear and left front look to have had repair. 2 places on the right rear have surface rust in places that don't show unless the door is opened or the rear lid raised. Both spots were present when I purchased car and they have not changed or grown. Neither is very obvious at all, just full disclosure. Car had a full clear bra when purchased. I removed all but front bumper as I don't like anything on the paint. When pulling off the bumper bra, some paint started coming with it, so I left it on. Car has hi-fi sound, which means great speakers to go with new head unit. Leather is very good as are the carpets. If driven every few days, no smoke at start-up. If not driven for a month or 2, 1-2 seconds of light smoke. Nothing after nor under load. This car is dependable and it shows well. A very nice 911 for the price point. 993's are considered by most to be THE 911 of choice. 282 horsepower, 6-Speed, all-wheel drive with world class braking. The owners manual packet and 2 keyless fobs/keys are included. This is my third 911 and I have a working knowledge. I have tried to represent car well and I will answer questions of any nature concerning the car. Car is ready for any length trip to new owners home. I will need cash, a confirmed wire transfer or a Cashiers check having been verified by my bank before you get the keys. Thanks for the interest.

The car has no warranty. Description has that it does which is incorrect. Again, no warranty.

Jay Leno welcomes finely rebuilt Porsche 356 into his garage
Wed, 15 Jan 2014Not a month after the Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer visited Jay Leno's garage, another artfully restored Porsche has rolled in. This time it's a 1957 Porsche 356A Outlaw, the "outlaw" moniker referring to Porsches that have been restored outside the bounds of period-correct orthodoxy.
This 356A was literally done from the ground up by Michigander Chuck Olenyk, the floor of the car having fallen apart so badly that he couldn't remove the roof at first since it was holding the vehicle together. Olenyk said that of the 2000 hours over seven years that he spent restoring the car, 500 were spent just on repairing the rust. That's undoubtedly some of the reason why when he tried to sell the unrestored car as a roller in the nineties for $1,000, no one would take it off his hands.
Olenyk fitted a mildly tuned engine from a Porsche 912, the transmission from a 356B, the brakes from a 356C, Fuchs mags and a modified replicar Speedster roof from Intermecchnica. It lacks nothing even with just 115 horsepower, and it adds to that with charm and aural appeal. You can see and hear the full story in the video below.
EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi
Sun, 25 Nov 2012EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.
Take a POV hot lap in the Porsche 918 Spyder
Mon, 14 Apr 2014That title about says it all. This is a hot lap of the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, TX, with Porsche Works Driver Patrick Long at the wheel of a Porsche 918 Spyder. The camera is basically showing us everything that Long sees, making this not just one of the coolest 918 videos we've seen, but also one of the neatest laps of CoTA.
As Long peers through the bends, so will you. You'll see him fight the wheel, and find out just how difficult it is to hustle this hybrid hypercar around a world-class track at speed. It's pretty darn entertaining. There are also a few scattered shots of the 918's exterior just to break up the interior awesomeness, although we aren't exactly complaining about those. Take a look below for the short video from Porsche.
