Presently Standard Title Texas From Standard Title Ok, "salvage" Title Az Stolen on 2040-cars
Schertz, Texas, United States
THIS IS AN AWESOME LOOKING AND DRIVING 1987 PORSCHE 911 THAT CAME FROM THE FACTORY AS TURBO LOOK CAR (I HAVE PORSCHE "CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY") THESE "TURBO LOOK" CARS OF THIS PERIOD CAME FROM THE FACTORY AS TURBO BODIED CARS WITH A FULL TURBO LOOK, TURBO SUSPENSION, TURBO SPOILERS, SPORT SEATS, WIDER PORSCHE POLISHED FUCH ALLOY TURBO WHEELS, SUPERIOR BRAKING SYSTEM, WIDE WHEEL ARCHES, AND "TEA-TRAY" SPOILER PLUS FRONT SPOILER.
THE CAR WAS CONVERTED TO A FULL BLOWN TURBO SPEC CAR WITH THE ADDITION OF A VERY AGGRESSIVE PORSCHE TURBO ENGINE INCLUDING A LARGE GARRET TURBO, LARGE OIL INTERCOOLER, FORMULA I EXHAUST SYSTEM, DISTRIBUTOR-LESS IGNITION, RACE HEADERS, AND ADJUSTABLE BOOST. IT IS A ROCKET AND MORE THAN A BLAST TO DRIVE BEING VERY VERY FAST, AGILE, AND SUPERB SUSPENSION. I HAVE NOT RACED THE CAR BUT HAVE DRIVEN IT IN PORSCHE CLUB PARKING LOT RALLIES. WHAT FUN.
THE PAINT IS EXCELLENT EXCEPT THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL WELL ARCH HAS A VERY SMALL PAINT CHIP WHERE A WHEEL WAS REMOVED AND PULLED. THE INTERIOR IS GOOD WITH NO RIPS OR TEARS THE DRIVERS SEAT HAS A SLIGHT RUB WHERE ENTERING AND EXITING WORE DYE ABOUT 3/4" X 1 1/2" THAT ALL IT NEEDS IS A DYE TOUCH UP.
THE "STORY" WITH THIS CAR IS THAT IT ACCORDING TO AUTOCHECK AND CARFAX WAS STOLEN AND FOUND IN AN ABANDONED WAREHOUSE SOME 15 YEARS LATER, THE RIGHT DOOR WING WINDOW HAD BEEN BROKEN OUT AND THE GAS SMELLED LIKE VARNISH, THE COMPLETE FUEL SYSTEM WAS SUBSEQUENTLY REBUILT INCLUDING THE FUEL PUMPS, INJECTORS, AND TURBO CHARGER. NEW TIRES WERE INSTALLED AND I HAVE RECENTLY REPLACED THE TOP AND REBUILT THE CONVERTIBLE TOP MOTORS. YOU HAVE TO WORK THE TOP A LITTLE WHEN CYCLING THE GUY THAT REPLACED THE TOP SAID PORSCHE NEEDED TO ALIGN THE TOP FOR EASE OF OPERATION. THE TONNEAU COVER IS LIKE NEW. ON THE TITLE WHEN IT WAS PURCHASED BY PORSCHE HOUSE IN OKLAHOMA AFTER BEING FOUND IT CAME FROM ARIZONA ON A SALVAGE TITLE AS REQUIRED BY ARIZONA LAW, BUT AFTER INSPECTION OKLAHOMA PLACED IT ON A STANDARD TITLE AS DID TEXAS WHEN I BOUGHT IT. THIS IS SUBSTANTIATED BY CARFAX AND AUTOCHECK AS THEY SHOW SALVAGE TITLE IN ARIZONA BUT THEY ALSO SHOW NO MAJOR REPAIRS AND THE MILEAGE DISCREPANCY WAS DUE TO A CLERK MISREADING THE ODOMETER. MY PORSCHE MECHANIC HAS CHECKED THE CAR AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE IT CHECKED AND HE FEELS THAT THE MILEAGE IS CORRECT. MY MECHANIC ALSO FEELS THAT IT IS A VERY AGGRESSIVE TURBO ENGINE AND A "HELL OF A CAR".
THE A/C WORKS AND MAY NEED A CAN OF FREON AND HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO NEW SPECS. IT DOES NOT LEAK OIL ALL OVER THE GARAGE FLOOR. IT HAS AN IN DASH BOOST GAGE. I WILL DO A TELEPHONE WALK AROUND WITH ANYONE THAT IS INTERESTED AND YOU MAY TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC IF YOU SO CHOOSE.
THIS CAR LOOKS AND DRIVES GREAT, THE SOUND IS AWESOME, IT RUNS REALLY STRONG AND IS VERY VERY FAST. THIS CAR WOULD BE WORTH $46,000-$54,000 HAD IT NOT BEEN STOLEN AND TURBO ADD-ON BUT IT WAS DONE RIGHT AND IS ESSENTIALLY THAT CAR FOR A WHOLE LOT LESS.

Porsche Australia price cuts in excess of $36,000 irks customers
Tue, 04 Jun 2013Have you ever gone to the store, only to become irked after learning that the new [*insert widget here*] that you bought just last week has gone through a price drop? If you're particularly thrifty, even if it's only a couple of bucks, you probably brought in your receipt to see if the store would issue you a credit for the difference. Now, imagine that the widget in question isn't a minor purchase, it's a Porsche - and the price drop isn't just a few bucks - it's thousands.
That's the unhappy scenario that recently faced a number of Australian luxury car buyers and the uncomfortable conversation awaiting the German automaker. According to GoAuto, Porsche Australia recently whacked up to $36,000 off the price of its models in order to jumpstart sales Down Under - the Panamera range itself saw cuts between $5,500 and more than $36,000. The aggressive price cut was a strategy designed to drive sales of more than 3,000 cars locally, a yearly goal originally set for 2018, but now hoped for as early as 2016.
Australia is known for its comparatively high car prices, so the dramatic price cuts were undoubtedly welcome news to potential Porsche shoppers. However, around 50 existing customers were understandably agitated by the reductions because they purchased their cars just before the adjustments took effect. Not only did they stand to lose out on the deals, they also had good reason to fear that their new cars' residual values would take a beating.
These three automotive Lego kits deserve your suppoort
Sat, Mar 25 2017Lego has been quite good to car enthusiasts over the past few years. We've seen traditional kits for the classic VW Microbus, Mini Cooper, and the Caterham 620R, as well as an elaborate Technic kit for the 911 GT3 RS. But why stop there? The Lego Ideas page, which allows users to submit ideas with the chance to see their kits reach production, has many more cool car kits we'd love to see. Check them out below, and be sure to log on to vote for them. If a submission hits 10,000 votes, it is considered for production. That's how we got that Caterham kit, so it's worth your time to show your support. Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 This is a submission aimed at becoming one of Lego's Speed Champions kits. These are very small mini-figure scale car models, and the series has included the Ford GT, Audi R18 Le Mans racer, and more. This kit features a tiny version of the Peugeot 205 Turbo 16, a Group B rally racer that gave Peugeot World Rally Championship titles two years in a row. The kit has a well-executed version of the car and its massive rear spoiler on the hatch. It also comes with a big dirt crest for it to fly over, along with amazed spectators on the sidelines. Porsche 911 Turbo 930 We love the GT3 RS Lego kit, but we think it's a little lonely as the only Porsche kit available. Such an impressive Porsche deserves an impressive companion, like this 911 Turbo. It's the 930 version, which is arguably the most famous classic 911 with its turbocharged power, whale-tail wing, and scary driving dynamics thanks to considerable turbo lag and rear-engine handling characteristics. This model is quite large at 1:10 scale, and comes with a detailed interior and exterior. The best part is the remote-control components underneath that allow the car to be driven. Jeep Wrangler JK Moving off the beaten path again, we have this highly detailed Wrangler kit. Actually, we have two kits, as the creator designed both two-door and four-door versions. They both feature removable hard tops, detailed interiors, and big tires. They also come with an assortment of off-road accessories such as auxiliary lights, an off-road jack, winch, gas can, roof rack, and off-road bumper. You can also find various fluid reservoirs and engine details under the opening hood.

eBay Find of the Day: 1981 Porsche 928 convertible by Carelli
Wed, 30 Apr 2014The Porsche 928 was perhaps the consummate European GT of its day. With a powerful front-mounted V8 engine that grew in displacement as the model years went on, it was capable of eating up the miles at triple-digit speeds in great comfort for occupants. It was also an unusual beauty, with its sharp front and curved rear featuring innovative integrated bumpers.
Currently for auction on eBay Motors is one of the rarest 928s you're likely to find, in a handsome combination of Guards Red paint and tan leather interior, though we wouldn't mind a less-showy finish to the factory wheels. According to the seller, this car is one of eight 928 convertibles by Carelli Design, a firm that's still in business.
The auction claims that these cars were made in 1981 as a feasibility study between Carelli and Porsche for a possible production 928 convertible. The seller says he worked at the dealership where the car is said to have been originally sold $103,000. To remove the roof and hide the convertible top, there were significant changes made to the body and interior, including redesigned doors and a completely new trunk. As you can see in the gallery, when down, the top is completely hidden in a very factory-like fashion. When up, it looks slightly awkward, though (and we'd really like to see a rear three-quarter view to check out the blind spots).
