Offering at NO RESERVE, High Bidder Will Own This 911. Up for auction, 1978 Porsche 911 SC. I bought this car two weeks ago. I am a Porsche enthusiast and I saw this car just sitting in a warehouse. I inquired about the car and ended up buying it on the spot. I bought the car as something to tinker with. As my luck would have it, I also bought a second car too, just last week. I had been following the second car for months and it finally was offered to me, so it bought it. So my delema is what to do with this 1978 911 SC? I can't have two cars in the garage, so I am selling it here, no reserve! There are 3 previous owners with the car offered here. Little is known about the first owner. The second owner had owned this 911 for more than twenty years. The second owner painted the car approx 15 years ago. This is not a color change, the 911 has always been yellow. I bought the car from the third owner. The third owner purchased the 911 in 2010. The car sat from 2010 until two weeks ago. I purchased the car and drove it home. When I first started the car, it ran a little rough. I drove the car home and the engine began to smooth out. This is typical for a car that has sat for 3 1/2 years. Overall the car is in good condition. The car is very solid and rust free. The undercarriage is clean and and rust free. The paint job on the car is very good and I would consider it an above average paint job. The paint job was done about 15 years ago. The glass and interior must have been removed for the paint job as there are no signs of masking tape lines in the engine compartment, trunk door jambs or anywhere else. The trunk and engine bay were painted too. I looked very deep into the trunk well and found evidence of the original color yellow. The wheels are in good condition and all are similar in condition and appearance. The tires and brakes are in fair condition. The Targa top was refurbished 7 years ago and it is in very good condition. The top has no tears or wear. The glass is in good condition. The side windows are crank type, not power. The windshield has two chips. The interior is in good overall condition, there are no rips or tears in the seats or carpet. The seats have average wear. The carpets could be cleaned. The radio is an aftermarket type. I do not have the original radio. The rear panel is damaged in the reflector area that says" PORSCHE". The reflector is cracked. The sheet metal behind the reflector is push in. It needs to be repaired. I do have the replacement reflector part for the repair that will be included with the car. Please see the photos of the damaged reflector area. All lights, side marker lights are working. The turn signals work. The wipers, fan blower and radio all work. The horn and drivers power mirror does not work. The knob for the delayed wipers is missing. The speedometer works but while driving the car, I pushed the reset button on the trip odometer in to reset it to zero. The odometer has stopped moving when I pushed this button in. I think I jammed the odometer and it will need to be repaired. The mileage on the car is about 40 miles more than shown in the photo. I will also include a car cover. The car is located in Surburban Detroit. I would welcome you to come and look at the car or do a pre- purchase inspection. I will not pay for the inspections and I will not drive the car to the inspector. I will not pay for transporting the car but I will assist on this end with the loading and transport. The car is being offered as is. I will not give refunds or price adjustments after the sale. I have a clear title. There are no maintence documents, paperwork or history. A $500 deposit is due by Paypal within 24 hours after the auction. If I do not get a deposit, I reserve the right to cancel the transaction. The balance of payment is to be made by wire transfer or verfied cashiers check prior to the car being picked up. Feel free to call or write with questions. My number is two four eight five six one five one two one. Bidders with zero or low feedback will be deleted unless you contact me first. GOOD LUCK!

Former Top Gear crew starts filming for Amazon show
Wed, Oct 7 2015We might have only a hint at the name and no exact date for a premiere, but fans can celebrate that Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May are filming once again. Plus, it looks like every cent of Amazon's reportedly lavish budget is being put on the screen. A photo tweeted by Clarkson shows the three hosts standing proudly in front of a Porsche 918 Spyder, Ferrari LaFerrari, and McLaren P1 at a racetrack. Clarkson jokes that the show has just a "skeleton crew" but behind him stand several dozen people, a sophisticated-looking camera rig, and two big trucks. This definitely looks worth the anticipation of the premiere on Amazon Prime next fall. Hammond tweeted the same picture and wrote: "The band is back together and it feels brilliant."

Intriguingly, it appears that fellow British auto journalist Chris Harris is currently filming at the same track. He tweeted a photo to Clarkson of the McLaren doing a very smoky slide, while being followed by the other two hypercars. The Porsches in both photos wear the same red-and-white number 3 livery and have the same license plate number. In a later message, Harris was also clear that he wasn't filming there in connection with the trio's Amazon show. This content is hosted by a third party.

Daughter has great taste, gives stepdad Porsche 914 of his youth
Mon, 14 Jul 2014Children require a ton of sacrifices; even people without kids know that. Whether it's the time to watch a baseball game or the money just to get there, parents have to give up something for the betterment of their offspring. Of course, once a child grows up, it's finally possible to repay mom and dad for all of their hard work. In the case of Kristin Russell and her stepdad, Dave, that involves a surprise 1973 Porsche 914.
Before he got married, Dave had a sweet, white 914. He even had the money saved up to restore it, but spent the cash on the wedding instead. The Porsche languished in the garage until Dave eventually parted it out and sold it off. Years later, Russell wanted to do something to thank her stepdad for all of the things he had done for her and her mom. The only fitting thank you was an identical 914 to the one that he gave up. Scroll down to watch Dave's reaction of getting his dream car as a surprise Father's Day gift.
Porsche close to fix for 911 GT3 engine fires
Sun, 16 Mar 2014It looks like 2014 Porsche 911 GT3 drivers might actually get to drive their cars again soon. Reports of fires affecting the track-ready Germans first began about a month ago. Then, a few days later, the automaker confirmed two of the five alleged blazes and said owners shouldn't drive their cars until further notice. Porsche then went so far as to offer to pick up the GT3s and transport them to the nearest dealer until the problem was identified and a fix was found. Finally, there appears to be a repair.
"We know the reason and the problem-solving measures. We're testing them," said Porsche CEO Matthias Müller to Bloomberg. The technical fix will be released to owners shortly.
The recall affects all 785 GT3s that have been sold so far, but there have been no reported injuries caused by the fires. When it first announced the safety campaign, Porsche said: "Internal studies to determine the cause of the engine damage have not been completed yet."
