I have owned this car for the past few years and am really sorry to see this one go. I have several cars, and this one is my "go to" car for driving pleasure. I truly love driving this car. One year only, Porsche made 2099 of these as a "stop gap" vehicle after the 914, and before the 924. Only 500 with sunroof. Jump in anytime. Prices on this last 4 cyl aircooled car from Porsche, and other aircooled Porsches' are ramping up fast!

General overall condition is very good. Serial number is 1012. The body is galvanized. No rust, or past rust repairs. No collision repairs. Only one older repaint in the original Guards Red color. Not a "windows out" job, but nice. I would say that paint is a 7.5 out of 10. No where near flawless, but very nice presentable paint. Some ripples, but nothing major. Because I am not afraid to take this car anywhere, I would not repaint the car. I put on the louvered engine lid, but still have the original in real good shape.  Includes rain shield. I also removed the clock and temp gauges and replaced them with vents that are functional that I connected to a newer model A/C evaporator with fan located in the Smugglers Box. It's controlled by an OEM A/C switch located in the later model console. Now there is ventilation in the car! I had a "combo" gauge made by Palo Alto speedometer with both temp and gas level to replace the two gauges. Seats and general interior is nice. Again not perfect, but real nice. Dash pad is perfect. Seats have no rips and look very nice. Carpet is nice with no heavy wear. Headliner is the worst thing on this car. Looks bad, with rips and should be replaced down the road. After a lot of work, the sunroof works great. Door pockets were just professionally redone, but not yet installed. Steelies and stripe are period correct. New tie rod ends, and front shock inserts. Ride is a little rough because I lowered the car. Still a very comfortable ride. Tires are newer Toyo. Generally if something looked crappy on the car, I replaced it. Trim, bumpers, glass, chrome all look very nice. The original motor let loose at just under 300K. I replaced the case with a 2.0 ltr. GA case and a 100% rebuild including the last pair of NOS 3 bolt heads on the planet. Euro P/C with higher compression. Still retains the original Fuel injection, Heat exchangers, and muffler. All that said it is still a 90ish HP type IV engine that is fun to drive! 

Overall a great Porsche that doesn't need anything. A great presentable driver that has a great feel. More like early 356/912 than 911. Please email with any questions that you may have, or if you need additional pictures. If you would like to talk to me about the car, email me and request my number. I would be happy to discuss the car.  Check out my feedback and bid with confidence. If you are in the Detroit are, I would love to show you the car. SHIPPING IS 100% THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER. I will assist in every way to assure that the car is loaded properly. A $1000 deposit is required at the end of the auction. Thanks, and good luck!

Volkswagen names Piech's nieces to supervisory board

Thu, Apr 30 2015

Volkswagen was left with two vacancies on its supervisory board after Ferdinand Piech and his wife Ursula were forced out a few days ago, and now it's filled them. Intriguingly, however, both of the new directors are Piech's nieces. The most obvious connection is Julia Kuhn-Piech, a real-estate professional who has sat on the board of VW's Man truck subsidiary since last year. Kuhn-Piech, 34, is the daughter of Ferdinand's younger brother Hans-Michel Piech (and by extension, niece of the ousted chairman). The other seat is being filled by Dr. Louise Kiesling, 57, a designer and daughter of Ferdinand's late older sister Louise Daxer-Piech. Keeping track of the lineage of the Porsche-Piech clan can be confusing, particularly with so many Ferdinands and Louises, but it breaks down essentially as follows: All are descended from Ferdinand Porsche, founder of the eponymous automaker and credited as the designer of the original Volkswagen Beetle. Porsche had a son and a daughter, the latter being Louise Porsche, who married Anton Piech and had four children: Ernst, Louise (mother of incoming board member Louise Kiesling), Ferdinand (the ousted chairman) and Hans Michel, father of the other incoming board member Julia Kuhn-Piech and a board member of both the Volkswagen Group and Porsche SE as well. The Piech and Porsche families control Porsche SE, which holds 50.7 percent of shares in the Volkswagen Group, which in turn owns Porsche the automaker. With all that in mind, appointing other members of the Piech-Porsche clan to the board follows logically enough - particularly since other members of the family helped oust Ferdinand from the chairmanship in the first place. The nominations, incidentally, also help VW increase its proportion of female board members. The two incoming Piechs will join Annika Falkengren of Swedish bank SEB and Babette Frohlich of the same IG Metall union as the board's interim chairman Berthold Huber. Wolfsburg, 30 April 2015 Dr. Louise Kiesling and Ms. Julia Kuhn-Piech appointed new members of the Supervisory Board of Volkswagen AG Upon application by the Board of Management of Volkswagen AG, Dr. Louise Kiesling and Ms. Julia Kuhn-Piech were today appointed members of the Supervisory Board of Volkswagen AG by Braunschweig Local Court with immediate effect. The appointments were made pursuant to Section 104 of the Aktiengesetz (German Stock Corporation Act) and were occasioned by the recent resignations of Prof. Ferdinand K.

Top Gear's latest trailer shows off a golden Bugatti Chiron

Thu, Feb 23 2017

Top Gear is returning on March 5, and after a lackluster first series with the new hosts, the new group seems determined not to hit a sophomore slump. Chris Evans is gone, and the latest teaser trailer shows the new trio of Matt LeBlanc, Chris Harris, and Rory Reid strapped into some pretty fantastic cars, including the Bugatti Chiron and the Ford GT. All of the typical Top Gear segments appear to be present, though the quick cuts don't give us many details. The trailer shows a copious amount of powerslides from an assortment of cars, and even Chris Harris racing around Daytona. Aside from the Bugatti and Ford, cars from Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, BMW, Aston Martin, and Alfa Romeo are all present. Co-hosts Eddie Jordan and Sabine Schmitz don't appear at all, so it seems their roles may be downplayed to focus on three guys, as was the case pre-reboot. We have some hope for this re-relaunched show and will be keeping an eye out for more details in the lead-up to the series premiere.

2015 Porsche Macan Turbo

Mon, 24 Feb 2014

I knew it was a softball question, but I asked it anyway. It's pretty standard for automakers to offer up some examples of competitors when they invite the media to drive a new vehicle for the first time. If not stated outright, it's just as standard for some journalist to query about the competitive set as soon as the Q&A begins. I knew full well that Porsche believes it has a valuable new niche to itself with the 2015 Macan (and especially with the Macan Turbo), but I wanted to hear the answer to the competitor cars question anyway.
Porsche CEO Matthias Müller didn't hesitate for a second to respond. With a half-smirk appropriate to an executive that is about to launch the (very probably) most profitable and best-selling product in his brand's lineup he chuckled, "Of course, I could be arrogant and say this car has no competitors..."
Arrogant? Well, the grinning Müller certainly didn't give off a humble vibe as he proceeded to count down a list of German and British utility vehicles from various classes that are clearly behind the pace of the Macan in either looks, luxury, or sporting prowess - Range Rover Sport, BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLK among them.
