Nice 911 project.


I got this last month in a package of 2 911s

Looks like the motor on the other one is shot so Im unloading this one to free up funds for a rebuild

It is a very solid 911. NO RUST. Looks to be an arizona and texas car

No signs of rust even in the battery box area.

Nice interior except for the dash

Rear floor mats are missing but fronts are there and in decent shape

Fuchs are clean and all straight with no major rash


Everything is there. 


WHAT I HAVE DONE
dump the old oil and replace oil and filter with a Fram and Rotella 15w-40
Replaced the fuel pump
Started the engine




WHAT IT NEEDS

Paint
Interior pieces back together
Rear tires, current are dry rotted
Air filter rubber straps
Rear tailight lense
Windshield
Dash Cap Cover
New seals-weatherstripping
Turn signal covers

My plan was to get this one painted and running well, however I thought I'd pass it along as is and let someone else pick this up as a project since these are getting more difficult to find. 


I PLAN TO PUT A LINK OF THE ENGINE RUNNING SO YOU CAN HEAR IT RUN SMOOTHLY. YOU WILL NOTICE THE ALT BELT IS REMOVED, IT WAS THAT WAY WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR.






I HAVE A NEW BELT BUT WHEN I INSTALLED IT AND FIRED THE CAR UP THERE WAS A RATTLE FROM THE ALTERNATOR? (FROM WHAT I CAN TELL)

SO I REMOVED IT AGAIN SINCE THE CAR IS ONLY STARTED FOR 30 SECONDS AT A TIME 


WHEN STARTED IT SMOKES A BIT LIKE ALL OLD 911s WHEN THEY SIT FOR A WHILE

'Born of a Blue Sky' brings the Amelia Island Concours to you

Fri, 03 May 2013

The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance has more clout every year and is getting a reputation as Pebble Beach minus the madness. Held in March this year, it celebrated Ducati and the 50-year anniversaries of Lamborghini, the Corvette Sting Ray, Porsche 911 and the Ford GT40.
Justin Lapriore was there, and seemingly everywhere, getting footage of the various wares on display on the lawns and the sand and the runway. The resulting video, Born of a Blue Sky, is a 16-minute survey of some of the finer sights and plenty of engine sounds. Check it out below.

Our hats are off to Porsche's 2014 911 Turbo Cabriolets

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Porsche has just debuted its two latest decapitated rocket sleds today at the LA Auto Show, the new 911 Turbo Cabriolet and Turbo S Cabriolet, which share their coupe counterparts' 520-horsepower and 560-hp 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engines. That kind of power ought separate a lot of hats (and toupees!) from heads.
The rear-engined Porsches put their power down through all four wheels, which allows them to launch from 0-60 in 3.3 seconds or less (the Turbo S Cab takes just 3.1 seconds), and both of them top out at 195 mph.
The 911 Turbo Cabriolet starts at $160,700, while the Turbo S Cabriolet can be had for a grand total of $193,900 (plus $950 for destination). Is the S model's 40 extra horsepower worth $33,200? We're not so sure, but we imagine Porsche won't have any trouble selling it.

2015 Porsche Cayenne spotted with facelift

Wed, 03 Apr 2013

Although it's only been a few years since the current Porsche Cayenne was introduced, Porsche seems to be working on a midcycle update for its big SUV possibly in time to welcome the smaller Macan. As seen in these recent spy shots, it looks like the Cayenne will be getting a minor face- and butt-lift, but it's hard to say what other changes are in store or when the updated model will hit showrooms.
Up front, expect the Cayenne's new face to resemble what was just revealed on the 2014 Panamera, and we could also see this SUV using some of the new engines introduced on the Panamera including the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 or maybe even the E-Hybrid model. We're guessing that the new Cayenne could debut sometime next year likely for the 2015 model year. In the meantime, check out the gallery of spy shots above.
