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.

1986 Porsche 959 Prototype at Barrett-Jackson sees gavel fall at $440,000 [UPDATE: w/video]
Sat, 19 Jan 2013Fans of Porsche in America have longed for the chance to buy a 959 ever since the German automaker produced and sold it (well, sold it everywhere but the United States...) in the 1980s. Well, they just had their chance. The car you see above is a Porsche 959 prototype built in 1986, and only one other running prototype still exists.
The 959 prototype can't be driven on public roads, as it carries no such certification. Somehow, we doubt that matters all that much to the new buyer - this one is probably going to be sitting in a collection. When the gavel finally fell, bidding had reached $400,000, plus a 10-percent buyer's fee.
Check out our high-res image gallery above to see this prototype up close, and scroll down below to watch a video of it crossing the auction block and for its official auction description.
911 beware! Porsche testing new top-trim Boxster
Wed, Dec 10 2014The Boxster and Cayman are like the scrappy siblings compared to their star brother – the Porsche 911. And now it looks like the rivalry is about to get even more serious, as our spies have captured this hotted-up Boxster doing some winter testing. We've already seen Porsche evaluating a higher-performance version of the Cayman, rumored to be called the GT4. It would reportedly offer a taste of the thrills of the 911 GT3, but at a lower price. The coupe appears to have a convertible twin in this Boxster prototype. The biggest giveaway of their possible relationship is the shared front bumper with larger intakes and an extra opening at the tip of the hood. Although, this one lacks the Cayman's big, rear spoiler in favor of a smaller decklid unit. The good news for fans of shifting for themselves is that this tester is fitted with a manual transmission, according to our spies. Being a prototype, though, there's no guarantee that the gearbox makes it to production. At least in Cayman trim, these higher performance models might use a tuned version of the 3.4-liter flat-six with between 370 and 400 horsepower. Though, an earlier rumor suggested that a turbocharged four-cylinder could sit behind the driver. Until we know for sure, glance at the gallery to see a Porsche that might try to challenge its big brother.
See what the Chevy C7 ZR1 may be benchmarked against
Tue, 07 May 2013One of the greatest things every Corvette has had going for it, and also one of the most re-used arguments against it, is its price-to-performance equation - long before the Nissan GT-R became the de facto Porsche 911 comparator the Corvette spent decades as Exhibit A. Depending on which side of the argument you stressed, supporters crowed about how much performance you got for how (comparatively) little, detractors carped on how little you got everywhere else in the bargain.
It appears Chevrolet is working as hard as ever to render the argument meaningless. Spy shooters at KGP captured a convocation of European birds of prey leaving the General Motors test center, and aimed at benchmarking the C7 Corvette ZR1. The road train comprised of two C7 Corvette Stingrays, a 2013 Corvette ZR1, McLaren MP4-12C, Ferrari 458 Italia, Audi R8 V10 Spyder and Porsche 911 Carrera S and it was last seen heading down the same kinked-up back roads used to hone the Corvette Stingray.
The C7-series ZR1 and its possible 700 horsepower are still a ways off. If it really is being positioned to compete with the celestial exotica in the testing group, could it be the first Corvette to regularly be the first answer to the question "Cost no object, which would would you rather have?"
