History: It was purchased with 68,000 miles on it in 2010 and has been dutifully cared for since (see maintenance report below; records from when I purchased the car are available). Previous owners seemed to have taken good care of the car as well. They did one touch up paint job on the right side and rear fender due to scratches, but otherwise it has the original paint. Clean car-fax report. It has always been stored in a garage when not in use.

7) Replaced battery (9/9/2011)
8) Replaced spark plugs (09/05/2012)

Known Issues and Estimated Costs for Fixing Them:
1) Sun roof missing plastic guide. Opens with switch; needs manual help to keep spring-loaded part out of way when closing. Estimated fix - $150
2) Tear in right corner leather of sunroof (see photos)
3) Rear tire tread starting to wear. Estimated cost of tires - 2 x $272 = $544 (plus installation labor)
4) Failed last emissions test. Estimated fix - unknown. Unlikely to be a serious issue but I do not have details on what is wrong.
5) 6-Changer CD player installed in the trunk does not work.
6) Broken belt monitor. Estimated fix - $150
7) Rear main seal seeping- recommended replacement with clutch. Unknown cost.

General Disclosure:
I will be happy to have a mechanic of your choosing inspect the car at your expense. The car is currently garaged in Houston, TX. This car is in great condition overall. The issues described above are typical maintenance issues that arise with cars of this sort and should be fairly straight forward fixes.

50th Anniversary Porsche 911 vs. Jaguar F-Type Coupe is a battle of beauty, brawn

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

There can't really be a loser between the Jaguar F-Type Coupe R and the Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition. One might be better than the other, but if you're behind the wheel of either of them, you can't complain. In a new video, Motor Trend takes on the difficult task of determining which one of these European powerhouses is the best, not just in terms of raw performance, but also how they actually feel to drive.
The Porsche 911 is one of the perennial favorites of the motoring world. It just doesn't go away and always seems capable of challenging the top vehicles in its class. In this video, Motor Trend takes a look at the 50th Anniversary Edition model that celebrates that heritage while boosting power somewhat over the standard version.
The F-Type Coupe is an incredibly masculine car, MT describing it as "a British Corvette." The coupe's exterior lines are tautly stretched over its athletic body, and it's supercharged 5.0-liter V8 sounds like a demon's growl. Jaguar seems to have things right with its latest sports car.

Porsche 911 Aerodynamic prototype cheated the wind ahead of its time

Wed, 04 Jun 2014

You might think that sports cars would have the lowest drag coefficient of all cars. And yes, they do tend to be more slippery than, say, SUVs or convertibles, but the sleekest vehicles on the road tend to be EVs, hybrids and luxury sedans. Sports cars, on the other hand, have aerodynamically detrimental needs for downforce and additional engine cooling. Still, the Porsche 911 is better than most, and has only gotten more so over the years. Its relatively narrow track and compact form mean it has a smaller frontal area than some other sports cars, and the gradual sweeping back of its headlights and windshield have only augmented its capacity for cheating the wind.
This 911 prototype, however, is even more aerodynamic than most. It's based on a "G model" 911 from 1984, but employed such features as covered wheels, a new rear spoiler and a reprofiled front end to drop its drag coefficient from 0.40 to 0.27, making it as slippery as a modern sedan and better at cheating the wind than just about anything built up to that point, save for maybe the Tatra 77, Citroën SM or Tucker Torpedo.
Elements of this prototype ended up gradually making it into production Porsches for years to come, and you can clearly see early influences on the second-generation 964 and even on the 959. It's featured here as the latest installment in a video series on rare historic Porsches unearthed from the company archives, following previous clips that featured a rare V8-powered 911 and a mid-engined 911 prototype. Scope out the latest episode in the video below.
