You are bidding on a 2001 Porsche 911 C2 with just over 105,000 miles. Overall, this car is in fine condition except for one major problem - it is leaking coolant into cylinder 2. Presumably this is due to either a blown head gasket or a cracked block. However, the car does run and can be driven short distances. Also, the leather on the left rear seat bottom cushion has cracked, but that can be easily replaced. Additionally, there is some chipping on the front bumper and the front edge of the hood.


Otherwise, the car is in good shape. The six-speed manual shifts well, the A/C blows cold, and it was fun to drive (until the problem with the engine). While it has a CD changer, I added an MP3/iPhone input which required disabling the CD changer. The CD changer is still in the trunk and should work, but I haven't used it. All four tires are new-ish and only have about 4400 miles on them. 

This car lived in California until I bought it in Feb 2011. I used it as a daily driver until the problem with the engine. As long as the engine is fixed or replaced this can be a fine car for someone else. If you're lucky the problem may just be the head gasket - in that case know that the car has not been burning any oil, although both valve cover gaskets have very minor leaks. However, if you plan on bidding on this car, price your bid as if the engine needs to be replaced, for as far as I know that is the case. 

This car can be driven in its current condition, but I would not drive it far. If you live in the Dayton, Ohio metro area you ought to be able to drive it home; otherwise you should have it towed or shipped.

While this car has a clean title, there is a lien on it; however the reserve price will be enough to pay the lien, so obtaining clear title will not be a problem. If you are the winning bidder and meet me at the credit union in Dayton, Ohio with cash in hand, the credit union will give you the title then and there. Otherwise they will transfer the title once the funds clear.

Why you must buy an air-cooled Porsche 911 now

Fri, 14 Feb 2014

"Because" might be a good response to our headline, but as a vintage (purists might call 'proper') Porsche 911 is hardly cheap, we suspect you'll need a better explanation than that. Enter Drive editor Mike Spinelli.
Spinelli sits down with Zac Moseley and Mick Prichinello from Classic Car Club Manhattan to first explain why the market for old, air-cooled 911s has gotten so hot over the past few years, and to discuss if it's a bubble that's about to burst. Following that, this video is really is just three guys sitting around talking about old Porsches for 35 minutes. Which, you know, we're pretty onboard with.

Meet Buster, this 1968 Porsche racecar transporter from Mercedes

Thu, Dec 11 2014

If you're thinking about Porsche and Mercedes-Benz when it comes to motorsports, your first thought is probably on the two German brands battling on the track. However, for decades, whenever Porsche's factory team went to compete, a custom Mercedes was right along with them hauling the racecars. These days the truck lives in the Brumos Collection in Jacksonville, FL, and goes by the nickname Buster. However, its story goes back to 1968 when Porsche ordered two commercial vehicles from Mercedes and then handed them over to a Stuttgart-based outfitter for customization. The results were these racing transporters that hauled models like the 917 and 956 until the '80s. The other survived, too, with a place in Porsche's collection. Well-known racers in their own right, Brumos scooped up the transporter in 2003 and have kept driving it to vintage racing events. The interior now boasts the signatures of many of the great drivers from the era of this historic truck. Watch the video for the whole story on the Mercedes with a whole lot of Porsche inside.

Porsche gives GT3 owners extra year of warranty, new engines in production April 22

Sat, 12 Apr 2014

While the auto industry reels from massive recall after massive recall, Porsche has quietly been working on a fix for an issue that's forced owners of the new 911 GT3 to park their track-ready rockets for fear of an engine fire. Thanks to a leaked letter from Porsche to a GT3 owner (which has been certified as real), we now have an idea of just where the German brand is at with the fix.
On April 22, Porsche will begin production of a new batch of GT3 engines for the 785 affected models across the globe. As you'll recall, the original issue rested with a screw joint that could loosen the connecting rod. The new engines have an "optimized piston rod screw connection," that should keep the connecting rod in place. Once technical validations are completed, production will kick off and new powerplants will be shipped around the globe for owners of the troubled cars.
Porsche will hand out a certificate to owners of affected cars once repairs have been completed, as a means of documenting the work. To make up for the trouble, Porsche will be giving owners an extra year on their new-vehicle warranty, while the 911 GT3 concierge will be reaching out to compensate them for having to park their car for so long.
