I've had this car for a few years and upgrades during that time have included new paint in the original color of Bahia Red, new leather seat upholstery, restoration of the 911 Fuchs wheels, new tires, new clutch, new windshield, new light lenses, and many other small details. The previous owner (of 15 years) upgraded the car to 911 suspension, 911 brakes, and Bilstein shocks. Needless to say, it handles and stops like a dream.

This car still has its original fuel injection and fires right up without delay every time. It's a good-looking, excellent-running, and fun driver, yet it is far from flawless. Items that still require attention include (but are not limited to):

Passenger outside door latch not working. There's a small plastic piece inside these that is probably broken. The door opens fine from the inside.
The previous owner installed an aggressively low front valence (see photos). I recently removed this in order to make dealing with driveways and speed bumps less annoying, however I will include the valence with the sale.
Dashboard needs to be replaced or recovered.
After having the car repainted, the rear trunk lid fit is a little off on the passenger side (see photos). I don't know what the painters did to cause this and I don't know how to repair it on my own or I would have done it prior to putting the car up for sale. It's only a minor cosmetic flaw, yet I wouldn't leave the car sitting out on a rainy day just in case water might be able to leak into the trunk. In fact, I wouldn't leave this car sitting out on a rainy day anyway.
All window seals (except for the windshield, which was recently replaced) are old and most likely original. It's probably time to replace them. In the meantime, there will be wind noise if you drive with the top on and the windows up. (Yeah, right. Like you're actually going to be driving this toy with the top on and the windows up!)
It leaks oil. You want to place something under the car to prevent staining your garage floor. I've looked into repairing this, and have basically been told that it's something that should be addressed (engine seals) when I'm ready to completely rebuild the motor. Since the car runs strong, I've decided to just live with the oil leak in the meantime.
There might be other things I'm not thinking about at the moment. Come see it in person!

I prefer local buyers so that you can see the car in person first. That said, the last two cars I sold on eBay went out of state and the buyers were happy (see my feedback). If you want it shipped, you make the arrangements. Also, I prefer cash, but PayPal will work as well. If you have another method of payment in mind, please contact me to discuss this BEFORE making on offer or clicking on Buy It Now.

Porsche 918 Spyder pre-production version in all its almost-done glory

Sun, 18 Aug 2013

Porsche continues the long tease of its upcoming 918 Spyder, with the latest instantiation here at the Pebble Beach Concours, with the car presented in pre-production form to the throngs on the golf course.
Just a few days ago Porsche dropped an image of the car on its official Twitter feed. True to that leak, this 918 looks damn near what we expect the full customer version to be when it is officially debuted in Frankfurt. The neon-green brake calipers are items new to this version of the 918, and seem to be an identical color to those found on the Panamera S E-Hybrid.
When it shows up as a drivable piece, expect the Porsche supercar, with its gasoline-electric drivetrain, to be pretty insane. Horsepower in excess of 800 ponies will be available with a toe-tap, while the price of entry is expected to come within shouting distance of $850,000. A good deal for Porsche to bring the thing to Pebble then, where buyers with that kind of cash are think on the ground (and most likely wearing sherbet-colored trousers).

Race Recap: 2013 Petit Le Mans draws curtain on the ALMS [spoilers]

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

The 16th Petit Le Mans Powered By Mazda, in the final year of the American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón, was run on Saturday. Even though many of this year's championships had already been decided, the last ALMS race ever would be a 10-hour, 1,000-mile slog around Road Atlanta to get names in the record books and decide a few series trophies.
Since some of you will only get around to your TIVOs (or Fox Sports coverage) today, you should stop reading now if you don't want to know who did what...

Porsche revisits the 911's dirty side with rally history film

Fri, 03 Jan 2014

It might not be a coincidence that there are rumors of Porsche revealing a safari version of the 911 at April's Beijing Motor Show, just as the Dakar Rally is about to begin. Adding fuel to the dusty desert fire is a just-released official video of Jeff Zwart driving the Porsche 953 that Jacky Ickx drove to victory in the 1984 edition of the race.
In the video, the seven-time Pikes Peak International Hill Climb winner talks about how he grew up with the 911; it wasn't only the car he learned to drive in, it was his choice of racecar no matter whether the course was tarmac or the dirty stuff.
You can decide for yourself if these recent events are mere coincidence while you enjoy the 953's exhaust note in the video below. If you've got the time to see the 953 during its race-conquering drive and find out what the ersatz Paris-Dakar Rally used to be, we've also included a broadcast of that 1984 race below as well. Fast-forward to 19:44 to see the Porsches cross the open dessert and 29:09 to watch one of them tackle the dunes.
