This is an incredible example of the sought after 1973 Porsche 911. This car is rust free! It has been owned by the original owner for 41 years. I bought it from the original owner, and he was reluctant to sell but has some health issues. His son helped prepare the vehicle for sale. This car has been upgraded with steel ST fenders front and rear. This conversion occurred about twenty years ago. It was a great job and has held up well. The car has the tilting sport seats, which are hugely valuable by themselves. In addition the vehicle has a 2.7S motor which has the upgraded chain tensioners, as well as Weber carburetors. It is a fast nimble and exhilarating car. The wheels are Compmotive and fifteen inches in diameter, and the tires are old, and should be replaced. Both front and rear bumpers are steel, although I don't know their origin.

The great! Gaps are great all around! You can enjoy and drive as is. These vehicles are on the rise in price. Drive a classic long hood Porsche. I can visualize this vehicle with the correct Fuch wheels, Viper green Carrera stripe kit for an RSR and a killer duck tail. It could be phenomenal! Transmission has the short shift kit on the linkage. Drives and runs fantastic. Brake discs are new all around and are ventilated like the "S" model. The clutch and transmission work great, no synchronizer issues. The engine is strong and runs great! The paint is beautiful and is the original color. The car has been repainted and is very nice and shiny. The sport seats are extremely comfortable and supportive. The interior is in very nice condition. The carpets look original to me, and appear to be in great condition. Rust free 1973! These are hard to find. Start with a great foundation and build it into what you want. 

The not so good. No spare tire, no tool kit, no jack, no owners manual, no receipts. The original owner closed and moved his business, so is looking for receipts, but also in poor health, so plan on as is! The generator light is on while running, even though it appears to be charging. The tachometer also doesn't work, the passenger side door needs the door stop repair kit, the rear brake lights work, but not the taillights. Headlights and wipers work. The horn and turn signals also don't work. The car hasn't been driving regular in about twenty years so expect some sorting. The owner's son did replace the fuel lines, new fuel pump, and did new brakes all around. He is a motorcycle mechanic, but not a Porsche mechanic, so please review his work for correctness. The mirrors are not original, and the adjustors are in the original door panels. I do not have the original wheels, deck lid, original seats, or steering wheel.

Porsche picks Maria Sharapova as brand ambassador

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

Russian-born tennis superstar Maria Sharapova has just inked a three-year deal with Porsche to be its brand ambassador, a position that will put her on a global campaign for the German automaker. The 26-year-old athlete isn't new to the role - she previously signed a similar three-year deal with Land Rover in 2006.
"Maria Sharapova is an exceptional athlete. She combines top performance in her sports with elegance and power. These are precisely the qualities that are embroiled in our sports cars," explained Matthias Mueller, CEO of Porsche AG, during the announcement. "Her profile and charisma are an ideal fit for Porsche. She is also highly respected around the world and enjoys an outstanding reputation," he added.
Some consider Porsche's choice of a female tennis player as its ambassador interesting, if not surprising. The automaker has traditionally marketed its vehicles with a masculine edge - Sharapova and the sport of tennis position the brand in a different light - likely an intentional decision. Do you think Porsche's choice was a good one? If not, who would you choose as its global ambassador?

Porsche tells 2014 911 GT3 owners to park their cars pending inspection

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

Porsche may have have a serious problem on its hands. After a rumored five 2014 911 GT3 coupes caught fire in recent weeks, Porsche launched an investigation and stopped delivering its road-ready racecar until it could diagnose the problem. Now, it has issued a press release asking all 2014 911 GT3 owners to immediately stop driving their cars until they can be inspected. Porsche is offering to pick up the cars from owners' homes and take them to the nearest dealer.
Porsche confirms that the at least two 911 GT3 coupes them have caught fire in Europe, and it has elected to inspect all 785 2014 GT3s worldwide. However, it claims no drivers have been injured in the fires. Unfortunately, Porsche says, "Internal studies to determine the cause of the engine damage have not been completed yet," so owners might have a bit of a wait before they are able to drive Porsche's ultimate 911 again. Scroll down to read the entire press release.

Porsche ready to pick itself up after Le Mans failure

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

It's safe to say that things for Porsche didn't go quite as well at Le Mans this year as it might have hoped. After a sixteen-year gap, the winningest manufacturer in endurance racing history returned to the Circuit de la Sarthe this year hoping maybe not for outright victory in its first time back, but definitely a strong finish on which it could build on for next year. All the while it undoubtedly hoped its 911s would hold their own in the GT classes.
Unfortunately for Porsche, neither happened. After racing around the clock, and despite actually leading the festivities for some time, the best its 919 Hybrid could manage was an eleventh-place finish, lagging lamentably behind not only the other LMP1s (like the race-winning Audi) but also a handful of LMP2s. Meanwhile the LMGTE Pro and LMGTE Am titles went to the factory-backed teams of its arch-rivals Ferrari and Aston Martin, respectively.
Not a stellar result, in other words, but Porsche is taking it all in stride - accepting that it has a ways to go while congratulating its vanquishing rivals in the video below. It's good sportsmanship if we've ever seen it. Next year's race starts now.
