A great car at a fair price.  The 1987-1989 911's are the last of the "true" 911 and my be the next 911's to appreciate in price while their owners appreciate the way they drive.  This is my 2nd 911, and will not be my last - a change in circumstances is forcing this sale.


I've owned this car for the last 4 years and have used it as my "daily driver" - that said, I worked from home and took it to the airport once in a while.  My kids have now outgrown the small back seats and I need to drive more often for my new job and I don't have resources for a 3rd car.  Sadly, my Porsche must go.

This 911 has been very well maintained with the assistance of a neighbor who is an MIT grad, retired surgeon and Sr. Porsche Car of America instructor who maintains his own 86 race car, an 87 Turbo a 356 with his lift and full set of mechanics tools and experience in his garage.  For work that exceeded our abilities, this 911 was exclusively serviced by Auto Associates, one of the top Porsche Garages in New England.  I have all the records from when I purchased the car, but nothing prior.  Carfax is clean.

There are just a couple of small issues with this car keeping it from perfect.

1) There is some oxidation on the front bumpers.  Typical for this car, and I have not addressed it because I was considering the backdate project.

2) I had a rust issue addressed - there were some rust spots in the bottom of the door wells.  These were professionally addressed by replacing the sheet metal from parts cars..it looks perfect.  You can tell some work was done because you can see a small seam inside the door sill.  There is no more rust on this car.

The paint is all original.  There are a couple of small nicks and scratches but less than should be expected in a car of this age.

I have upgraded to the turbo tie rods, the tires are Direzza Z1 star spec (very good condition) and I have a set of snow tires I'll include in the purchase.  I have manuals, and the tools.

Injectors were replaced May of 2012  and a leakdown was performed at that time:  1@4%, 2@6%, 3@6%, 4@8%, 5@6%, 6@6%

This is a great drivers car - ready to go to the track or to drive around town.

Please contact noahu <at> msn <dot> com for more information.  I would prefer a local sale and may terminate the auction at any time.

Listen to the Porsche Macan's exhaust note ahead of its LA debut

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

As if we need further proof that the Porsche Macan won't just be another small CUV, it'll be a small Porsche CUV, the German automaker has released a video of the vehicle's raucous exhaust note. In short, the Macan will sport a far racier soundtrack than most of its competitors.
The raspy sound coming from one of the Macan's two turbocharged V6 engines sounds great (the video isn't clear as to whether we're listening to the base 3.0-liter or the Turbo model's 3.6-liter engine), and it's accompanied by a nice crackle on overrun. It isn't like a 911 or other flat-six model, but it is more or less what we expect a Porsche to sound like. We'll have all the details on the newest member of the Porsche lineup when it debuts later this month at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. Scroll down for an official press release from Porsche, as well as the video of the Macan, and be sure to turn your speakers up.

A spotter's guide to Super Bowl LIV car commercials

Fri, Jan 31 2020

Set to kick off on Fox at 6:30 ET on Sunday, February 2, from Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, the big game will feature the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers. Throughout Super Bowl LIV, viewers will see about 50 commercials, each of which costs as much as $5.6 million per 30 seconds, according to AdWeek. Originally, there were more than 77 ad slots, so several companies could be paying well more than $10 million for a single, longer commercial. Numerous car companies have already announced their commercials, or their intentions to show commercials, during the game. Here's a roundup of the ones we know about so far. During the game on Sunday, we'll be livestreaming and adding links to the new commercials as they become available, so check back with us for that post.  Audi: E-Tron Sportback Maisie Williams has experience wearing many faces, and in Audi's Super Bowl commercial, she does her best Elsa impression. In the spot, titled "Let It Go," Williams faces the rigorous task of getting through L.A. traffic, but she's alleviated by the comfort of the Audi E-Tron Sportback electric crossover. The commercial is meant to signal the company leaving its gas past behind and moving forward to a sustainable future.  Genesis: GV80 Genesis makes its Super Bowl debut with a commercial that will show its all-new SUV, the GV80, to viewers around the world (many of which will be seeing the vehicle for the first time). The ad features Chrissy Teigen and John Legend as the purveyors of "new luxury," while "old luxury" is left for the birds. GMC: Hummer General Motors is bringing back the Hummer nameplate as a premium electric GMC truck. GM says it will have 1,000 horsepower and will be capable of going zero to 60 mph in three seconds. GM brought in NBA legend and Hummer fanboy LeBron James for the debut commercial. Hyundai: Sonata Hyundai is known for bringing in the big-time celebrities for its commercials, and 2020 is no different. A new advertisement called "Smaht Pahk" features John Krasinski, Chris Evans, and Rachel Dratch, all three of whom are from the Boston area. The trio gets into full character as they discuss the new high-tech parking feature on the redesigned 2020 Hyundai Sonata, and David Ortiz makes a cameo at the end. Even when New England isn't in the Super Bowl, New England is in the Super Bowl.

Singer offers first look at reimagined Porsche 911 Targa in the US

Sat, Aug 15 2015

We're big fans of Singer's work. The company's "reimagined" Porsche 911s mix the best of what's old with modern technology, and the end results are simply fantastic to behold (and to drive). At the Quail Motorsports Gathering – part of Monterey Car Week – Singer's take on the Porsche 911 Targa made its North American debut, after the car was first shown at Goodwood in June. The car shown here is the second Porsche 911 Targa reimagined by Singer, wearing a really striking shade of brown. Parked next to it was an example of the 4.0-liter 911 that we drove earlier this year. Seeing the two cars next to each other was really special – two of the finest examples of restomod 911s in one place. Singer also used this showing to debut a new carbon ceramic braking system. These new stoppers were co-developed with WP Pro Racing Brakes, and offer a 42-percent weight savings over Singer's standard units. Still, the best part of Singer's display is that brown Targa. Take a few minutes and have a look, in the gallery above. Related Video:
