JUST RECENTLY OUT OF 25 YEAR STORAGE! ALWAYS GARAGED! ALL GONE THROUGH AND SERVICED! RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT! Up for auction with NO RESERVE!!! is a true, rust free, California 1966 Porsche. Looks can be deceiving on this beautiful Porsche. Changes were made throughout the early 1980's and is not your average stock original Porsche. We have a poster board of this car in magazines and also a few pics of the car before it was completely stock to see it was a perfect unmolested rust free candidate. I understand that today someone would be hung for doing such a thing to such a nice original car, but you have to remember this was started in the early 1980's when you couldn't give these cars away. The concept was to improve and enhance the style and appearance and increase the power capability. It is most obvious in the engine compartment where a Chevy 350 V8 now resides as the power plant for this car. The engine runs well and sounds great. Parts for routine maintenance are easily available and economical. This makes most Porsche owners envious. What makes this so car so cool is you never have to smog it in any state!! That alone is worth tons!! To do this properly and achieve a vehicle that looks and performs like a factory made product, hours and hours of time and experience are in this car and it shows. The end result is a very uniquely styled and preforming Porsche. The body has a 930 Carrera body kit which consists of turbo flares front and rear, a front bumper with air scoop, rear bumpers, whale tale, right and left lower side rails, right and left turn signal lamps, right and left mirrors, right and left tail lights, left side rear fog lamp and center Porsche insignia. Only the seats, some gauges, and the steering wheel have been changed on the interior and the rest is original to the car in amazing shape!! The seats are now Recaros. The fans, water pump and gauges are all electrical. The gas tank has been modified to accommodate the new radiator. The flow of the radiator is left to right and has dual 10's fans mounted on a triple row core radiator. The radiator has a hand-made sheet metal housing that was added to improve the appearance. The stock Porsche engine was replaced with a Chevrolet 350 V8 which fits perfectly. Everything else is stock Porsche. Porsche motor mounts, gas, throttle and adapter plate have been hand fabricated using the stock 350 V8 motor mounts. The difference in weight is only 10 pounds. Mechanical gauges are located on the upper right hand side of the engine bay. The distributor cap is a crab type for easy removal and replacement. The suspension is stock Porsche. The trans axle is also stock Porsche. The exhaust system is custom. The 350 V8 has headers flowing back through turbo mufflers. The fuchs wheels are polished aluminum wrapped in BF Goodrich 160/60/16's in the front and monster 280/70/15's in the back. All four corners are disk brakes. The transmission shifts smoothly through all the gears and there is plenty of pressure on the clutch. The paint is in good condition for its age and shines up nicely. There are a few little nicks here and there from normal driving. The glass is in good condition with tint and no cracks. The doors close properly and the windows roll up and down as they should. The head lights work, the tail lights work, the signals work, the brake lights work, the fog lamps work and the high beams work, the gas gauge has seemed to quit working. This car is a blast to drive and is very unique compared to other early under-powered Porsches' out there. It is a sleeper, no one will have any idea there is a V8 in there until you step on the gas. The interior seats are now Recaros and are a fantastic upgrade to the originals. The back seats are original to the car and are perfect. The carpet is in great shape and clean. The cell phone from the 1980's is included with the car and a great conversation piece! This is your chance to get not only own a unique Porsche, but a CLASSIC Porsche at the same time! A Porsche that you could use everyday if you wanted to or weekend cruises!

Genesis cars win accolades, offer value — so why are sales so bad?
Tue, Jul 31 2018My high-school buddy Brent Cormier was so smitten with the Genesis G80 when he saw it at an event I hosted at SXSW in 2016 he bought a used 2013 Hyundai Genesis a short time later and fell in love with the car. "It surpasses my every expectation," said Cormier, a self-described "renaissance man" who owns and runs a real estate agency with his wife Laura, is a food service executive chef and part owner of Austin-based Thin the Herd Guitars. "I was locked into Mercedes and Audi for 10 years," he added. "And felt trapped in an endless pit of maintenance costs." After owning the Genesis over the past two years — including using it as an Uber and Lyft driver to earn extra cash — Cormier learned what some frugal luxury sedan buyers and a handful of car reviewers have discovered: Genesis offers great bang for the buck compared to other premium brands and can compete with the best in terms of performance, features and comfort. Hyundai's luxury brand also earned a prominent third-party endorsement last week when for the first time Genesis topped J.D. Power's 2018 APEAL study, surpassing German luxury-performance icon Porsche. The APEAL study (which stands for Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout) "measures owners' emotional attachment and level of excitement across 77 attributes," ranging from performance to comfort, and asks nearly 68,000 owners of new 2018 models to score vehicles on a 1,000-point scale. In its second year ranked as a stand-alone brand, Genesis earned an APEAL score that bumped it up 15 points to 884 and helped push it past Porsche — and past BMW, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo, Cadillac, Land Rover and Lexus, in order of ranking. Last month, Genesis also topped J.D. Power's Initial Quality Survey (IQS) for the first time this year. And both its models were awarded Top Safety Pick Plus ratings by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, among 11 Plus ratings in all for Korean vehicles. Despite high J.D. Power rankings and great reviews, Genesis U.S. sales were off 50 percent for the first six months of 2018 compared to 2017, and in June Genesis sold only 796 vehicles — the first time U.S. numbers dropped below 1,000 in a month. Part of Genesis's APEAL and IQS success can be attributed to its small product lineup: just two models, the G80 and G90 sedans, with a third, the 2019 G70, launching later this year. And while those numbers may help in J.D.
2014 Porsche Panamera Turbo S is a 911 Turbo for the family man
Thu, 21 Nov 2013In the event that the Porsche Panamera Turbo's 520 horsepower and 189-mile-per-hour top speed aren't enough to sate the appetite of the speed freak, Porsche has just given the auto show debut to the faster, more powerful Panamera Turbo S.
With 570 horsepower being pumped from a 4.8-liter, twin-turbocharged V8, the Panamera Turbo S promises even faster acceleration, hitting 60 mph in 3.6 seconds, a 0.3-second improvement over the standard Turbo. The top speed, meanwhile, climbs to 192 mph, which is kind of ridiculous for a car with four doors and a trunk.
Other enhancements that come with this Panamera's extra syllable include carbon-ceramic brakes and the entirety of Porsche's active chassis systems, including Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control and Porsche Active Suspension Management. The performance goodies come standard, but that doesn't mean the Panamera Turbo S is cheap.
Porsche 918 Spyder burns to ground in gas station conflagration
Mon, 29 Sep 2014There's one fewer Porsche 918 Spyder zipping along the roads of Toronto, Canada, today. A fire at a gas station over the weekend claimed one of the hybrid supercars in a massive blaze, and a portion of the inferno was caught on video.
According to our partners to the North at Autoblog Canada, the cause of the fire hasn't been officially confirmed yet, but witnesses reportedly claimed gasoline somehow came into contact with the hot exhaust outlets that exit out of the top of the supercar's engine bay. This was just one of two 918s believed to be in the Toronto area.
Other than a possible broken heart from the owner, the fire reportedly caused no injuries, and only the Porsche and gas pump appeared to sustain serious damage. Warning, the video of the conflagration does contain some explicit language.
