This car is a Porsche 911 built in 1965.  According to research it's a 1966 model and is titled as such.   It is a major project. 

First of all the obvious-someone cut the roof off many years ago.  Please don't email me hate messages...I didn't do it-it was done many years ago in the Vanilla Ice era I'm sure.  Along with the custom convertible job the rear fenders were flaired and the front fenders had the turn signals filled in with body filler.  Late model bumpers were fabricated onto the original fenders-easily removed. 

Okay, let's look at the good stuff.  It isn't THAT rusty.  It was a California car until 5 years ago.  Matching number passenger door and passenger front fender, possibly the driver front fender also  Rear fenders are original, just modified.  Some patches on the floor but nothing major.  The rockers show some paint bubbling.  The torque tube in the rear, suspension pickup locations, etc all look good.   The rear shelf looks okay, one rear seat bottom has been patched. The battery tray looks pretty good, the front suspension pan has only a little rust.  Front longhood fenders have simply had the turn signals covered with body filler. Also, they had later headlights installed. Original Porsche door glass.  Yes, this car would require work all over but it is NOT one of those cars that is returning back to the earth! 

Mechanically-no engine or transmission or rear axles.  The car has a tranmission when I bought it but it was not the original and has been removed. The brakes and suspension all look good.  Gas heater.

The interior has the original gauges, wood dash trim, 911script.  Seats go with the car-not original of course.  No rear seat. 

The Fuchs shown do NOT go with the car.  I'll include some rollers including one date coded 65. 

I have a 1968 Porsche 912 that I will  make available to the winning bidder for $3500.  This will give the buyer all the body parts such as the roof, fenders, etc. plus lots of other extra parts left over.  Or, the winning bidder can buy the 912 and restore or resell at his/her leisure. 

This car won't ever be a concourse winner but with a new roof (I'd go with a rollcage) and fenders welded on, it would make a great period race car-especially in Europe where 1965 and  earlier cars are held at a premium.   I have a clear open title good for your state or for export. I have a picture link with lots of pictures.  Please email me for the link or if you have any questions.

2015 Porsche Panamera S First Drive

Wed, Mar 18 2015

Porsche brought the Panamera in for its garage makeover and drove it out looking almost exactly the same. Turns out it was one of those fancy German refreshes where everything happens in places you can't immediately see, as we found recently on the 2015 Volkswagen Jetta TDI. The marquee revision across the lineup is under the hood, where every engine gets, at the very least, more power. Such is the case for the naturally aspirated V6 in the entry models, fitted with an increase of 10 horsepower for a total of 310. The same goes for the naturally-aspirated 4.8-liter V8, which lives only in the Panamera GTS now, and gets 10 more hp for a total of 430. That same V8, twin-turbocharged in the Turbo model, is graced with 20 more ponies for 520 hp. The mightiest marquee revision is saved for the S models, which surrender their use of the 4.8-liter V8 and get a 3.0-liter, all-aluminum, twin-turbocharged V6 in its place. It's a brand-new engine designed in-house and related to the 3.6-liter V6 in the base models, but with new features like a magnesium timing chain cover, variable camshaft timing for the intake and the exhaust valves, and a new fuel- injection system. Putting out 420 hp and 384 pound-feet of torque, it's got 20 more hp and 15 more lb-ft than the V8 it replaces. What's more, torque used to peak from 3,500 to 5,000 rpm, but the new torque curve maintains maximum twist from 1,750 to 5,000 rpm. It is less thirsty as well, posting an estimated fuel economy of 17/27 miles per gallon city/highway, besting the 16/24 city/highway of before. An improved stop-start mechanism contributes to this, as it cuts the engine earlier, and the coasting function benefits from a new disc clutch that can decouple the seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission from the driveline. As we wrote in our Panamera S E-Hybrid review, you'd need to be obsessed with the Panamera to notice the sheet metal changes around that engine. It's the perfect car to ask, oh so coyly, "Notice anything different about me?" while you stand there dumbfounded, silently thinking, "No." Here is your cheat sheet: the front and back ends are "tighter," meaning faintly more squared off, the front intakes are larger, the tailgate gets wider rear glass over the same-sized opening, the rear spoiler is wider, and the rear license plate bracket has been mounted lower. But even now that you know what the changes are, odds are still 200-to-1 against you actually noticing.

Porsche goes karting in its Cayman GTS

Sun, 03 Aug 2014

Think Mini is the king of Go-Kart Handling[TM]? Well, you might be mistaken, as Porsche proves here it's fully capable of delivering a driving experience that'd fit in quite nicely on a go-kart track.
Using a new and very red Cayman GTS, the Stuttgart-based manufacturer invades a kart track in northern Italy and sets the mid-engined sports car loose to slip, slide and zip its way around the circuit. As far as videos for Sunday evening go, this one ticks all the boxes.
Take a look.

Noted Porsche collector Magnus Walker learns what a TED Talk is firsthand

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

Porsche collector Magnus Walker has the name and looks of a Viking, but once he starts talking about his life story and what drives him, he's an absolutely fascinating guy. Walker recently gave a Ted Talk at a Tedx conference at UCLA and claimed he didn't really understand the idea behind the speeches. You would never know it, though. Walker is as gifted a speaker as he is a talented restorer of some seriously cool Porsches.
Walker's talk is titled "Go with Your Gut Feeling," and it amounts to his autobiography. He recounts his birth in England, dropping out of school at 15 and moving to the US at 19. Once in Los Angeles, he started selling second-hand clothes and grew it into a fashion business.
Of course, what makes him interesting to us is his passion for Porsches. He fell in love with them when he saw a white 911 as a child at the Earl's Court Motor Show in England, but Walker waited until the '90s to buy his first one. From there he started racing and eventually restoring them. Since the documentary Urban Outlaw about him was released, Magnus has become famous for the love of the brand.
