Any wonder why nice restored examples are fetching upwards of $35K here on Ebay; because this is the perfect sports car. Grace, handling, economy and plenty of power. This particular example is CLEAN and partially restored. Originally an Arizona car that was brought to CA about 3 years ago. During that time much work has been done, with recent receipts totaling $11,500. I have not owned this car for long, having traded the previous owner for an Alfa in my collection. I have too many projects on my hands and hope this example goes to someone who can finish the restoration while it continues to noticeably appreciate. According to my mechanic, the muffler will need to be replaced and the carbs adjusted afterwards to get her running properly. Right now the carbs tend to chirp a little bit at idle and while accelerating. The engine was gone through by Gary Betz in Saticoy and has less than 1000 miles since the rebuild. I have all the receipts for his warrantied work which includes rebuilding and the new 44 EMPI "Weber" carbs that are now installed. The valves were adjusted two weeks ago. She has plenty of power and doesn't smoke. The 4-speed transmission shifts into all gears without a problem. New parts include: BRAKES AND BRAKE LINES, SUSPENSION, BILSTEIN SHOCKS, BATTERY, 4 FALKEN ZE-502 205/50/15 TIRES, PORSCHE CORBEAU SPORT SEATS AND BRACKETS, FULL CARPET SET AND SOUND INSULATION, COCOA MATS, DOOR SEALS, WINDOW FELT, QUARTER WINDOW SEALS, REAR WINDOW SEAL. All of which have been installed at great expense. Car is straight and I have not detected any accidents or filler. PAN, ROCKERS AND WHEEL WELLS ARE CLEAN as seen in the photos. Paint is in nice shape with only a few minor touch-ups. The dash has 3 cracks and is covered by a dash mat. All instruments function except the clock. Headliner and door cards are original. Glass is all nice. All electrical systems function. Some of the body rubber is brittle and needs replacement as shown i.e. bumpers, hood, wind wings, rocker trim, windshield. There are also a few minor dings to the front and rear bumpers as shown. Car comes with original tool kit, jack, owner's manual and original spare 15" steel wheel. I have a clear CA title and can ship to any foreign port. I have described this vehicle to the best of my abilities. It is up to the potential buyer to ask all questions and request additional pictures if necessary. I want to make certain you receive the car you were expecting. I can show the vehicle during the course of the auction. I am an hour's drive North of Los Angeles. Inspections must be done prior to auction's end and not afterwards. No joy rides. I reserve the right to end this auction early because the car is advertised locally. THIS IS AN AS-IS SALE. I require a non-refundable deposit of $500. to Paypal within 24 hours of auction's end. Balance due within 7 days in CASH, CASHIER'S CHECK (MUST CLEAR MY BANK BEFORE RELEASING CAR AND TITLE) OR BANK WIRE. Car must be claimed by buyer or agent within 2 weeks of auction's close or a $5/day storage fee applies. NO EXCEPTIONS. I will gladly work with your transporter.

Porsche wins the 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans
Sun, Jun 14 2015The question going into this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans was whether or not the Porsche 919 Hybrid would be able to combine its qualifying pace with race reliability. After battling neck-and-neck with Audi's R18 for most of the race, the answer is a resounding yes. Not only did Porsche drivers climb the first two spots on the podium, they did so without any major mishaps on track. This win is the first overall trophy for Porsche since 1998. Audi previously won the last five races, and 13 of the last 15. Corvette also returned to the winner's circle, with the No. 64 C7.R taking winning the GTE Pro division. The victory is the first class win for Corvette since 2011. KCMG won the LMP2 class in ninth overall. With 45 minutes to go the No. 98 Aston Martin crashed out of first place in GTE Amateur, giving the class win to SMP Racing's Ferrari and second place to the Patrick Dempsey Racing Porsche 911 RSR. For the full list of official results, click here. The GTE Pro class proved to be just as exciting as the P1 class, with a four-way battle for first after four hours into the race. For most of the race, the battle at the top went back and forth between the two German manufacturers. An tire puncture in the No. 7 Audi gave up the lead to Porsche, and moments later a crash forced the No. 8 into the garage. But a three-minute replacement of the front and rear bodywork kept the Audi in contention. As the race wore into the night, Porsche maintained a slightly faster pace than Audi. Nick Tandy took the lead on Lap 253 early Sunday morning, and car No. 19 never gave up the top position. The win is the first for all three drivers of the No. 19 – Nico Hulkenberg, Earl Bamber, and Nick Tandy. A lap behind in second was the No. 17 Porsche. The Audis fought reliability problems late in the race but still finished third with the No. 7 R18. The GTE Pro class proved to be just as exciting as the P1 class, with a four-way battle for first after four hours into the race. As the Aston Martin cars dropped away, the lone Corvette Racing entry took over, followed by a charging AF Corse team Ferrari 458 Italia. The Corvette and Ferrari continued to trade places in the final hours until gearbox trouble forced the No. 51 Ferrari out of contention. It was eventually passed by the other AF Corse car, No. 71. Nissan experienced all the pain of a first-year effort with its front-wheel-drive GT-R LM Nismo.

Porsche ready to pick itself up after Le Mans failure
Mon, 23 Jun 2014It's safe to say that things for Porsche didn't go quite as well at Le Mans this year as it might have hoped. After a sixteen-year gap, the winningest manufacturer in endurance racing history returned to the Circuit de la Sarthe this year hoping maybe not for outright victory in its first time back, but definitely a strong finish on which it could build on for next year. All the while it undoubtedly hoped its 911s would hold their own in the GT classes.
Unfortunately for Porsche, neither happened. After racing around the clock, and despite actually leading the festivities for some time, the best its 919 Hybrid could manage was an eleventh-place finish, lagging lamentably behind not only the other LMP1s (like the race-winning Audi) but also a handful of LMP2s. Meanwhile the LMGTE Pro and LMGTE Am titles went to the factory-backed teams of its arch-rivals Ferrari and Aston Martin, respectively.
Not a stellar result, in other words, but Porsche is taking it all in stride - accepting that it has a ways to go while congratulating its vanquishing rivals in the video below. It's good sportsmanship if we've ever seen it. Next year's race starts now.
