I purchased this car seven years ago as a completed V8 conversion and drove it a few thousand miles while at the same time upgrading it in several ways.  The car had a minor fire when new, was therefore totalled and became a doner for this project.  That explaines the low mileage, it was one of the first such conversions ever done.  This car has seen very limited use for its entire life and never been out in inclement weather.  The rust on the floorboards is evidently from storage, as I mentioned, one area does need repair where the floor meets the firewall behind the seats.  My upgrades have been to the routing of the cooling lines, getting them thru the rocker panels and up thru the front to the radiator.  This was accomplished with several custom made pieces of hardware.  Where they pass thru tunnels in the fuel tank, header wrap totally prevents any heat transfer to the fuel itself.  I was taking this car on road trips and driving it around untill I hit a curb with the right rear wheel and bent the swingarm on that side and cracked the 901 gearbox with that impact.  The body remained absolutely unharmed and straight.  At that point, 3 years ago, my activity stalled with this car due to having to relocate my business and economic conditions in general.  The engine remains out of the car, and waiting to go back in with it is the CROWN JEWEL of what I have to offer here . . . a totally modified 930 transaxle with all new parts and limited slip differential.  Additionally, I designed and built a mechanical shifter that shortens the overall length by 4 inches, making it ideal to put into a 914.  The photo of the stock and new shift rods shows how this is possible, all of this was assembled by Perfect Power Inc., Buffalo Grove Illinois, whose absolute specialty is Porsche.  They did or contracted for all the special machining and modifications to use this in a mid-engine car.  I have complete build sheets and ratio/speed information, I spent over 12 thousand dollars on this box before creating the shifter.  The interior is in very good condition with no cracks in the dash, every thing works.  I have a replacement swingarm.  I myself have been in product developement, mechanical design and prototyping as a career working on consumer, medical, and industrial products making me competant in everything I accomplished here.   I require an $800 paypal deposit within 24 hours of the end of this auction.  You will be bidding to OWN this car, not an option to buy.  Please have necessary funds available to complete this transaction within 7 business days of the sale in cash or bank wire transfer unless you and I make other arrangements.  Car is sold "as is" with no warrantees.  I have a clear Illinois title for this car, please ask all questions BEFORE bidding.  Car may be picked up or shipping arrangements will have to be made.  My phone is 312 972 0047, my name is Paul, thank you for looking.  Please feel free to make offers.

Watch 1,208 Porsche 911s collect at Silverstone for world record

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Porsche has been spending the majority of 2013 celebrating the 50th birthday of the 911, with its latest stunt taking the German brand to the home of British motorsports, Silverstone. To celebrate, Porsche invited enthusiasts to take their personal 911s on a lap of the former airfield, and boy, did the Porschephiles show up. 1,208 911s took part in the lap around the Grand Prix circuit, making it the largest-ever gathering of the iconic, rear-engined cars.
This wasn't just a celebration of 50 years for the 911, though. Funds raised were channeled towards Hope For Tomorrow, a cancer charity that works with the United Kingdom's National Health Service in operating mobile chemothereapy units that make life just a little bit easier on cancer patients.
Take a look at the long video below, and enjoy the passing of what are likely examples of every 911 model ever built.

2014 Porsche Cayman S

Thu, 29 Aug 2013

Second Fiddle Moves To First Chair
In the interest of full disclosure and a bit of bloodletting, allow me to admit that while I've always coveted the Porsche Boxster and its hard-hatted Cayman cousin, I've never really warmed to them visually. They've always had a certain push-me, pull-you, can't-decide-which-way-they're-going aesthetic that I've never really wrapped my head around. Porsche achieved the same thing with the original 550 Spyder's overturned bathtub bodyshell that would come to inspire the Boxster, but somehow that classic's even more symmetrical nature works for me. Fast-forward to this third generation, and at least for this enthusiast, Porsche's manchild has well and truly come of age as a design.
It's all there - a piercing stare thanks to squircle headlamps inspired by the 918 Spyder hypercar, newfound directional thrust afforded by a longer wheelbase and elongated greenhouse, and muscular rear haunches with a wider stance emphasized by larger side ductwork and snubbed overhangs. The body's teardrop shape terminates with an active spoiler that integrates into a gorgeous arc with the taillamps like a budding ducktail nod to 1973 911 Carrera RS. Despite casting a longer shadow than its predecessor, the 2014 Cayman still looks tidily proportioned, smooth and wieldy, the perfect skipping stone to ricochet down a canyon river road.

President Obama will be on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee

Tue, Dec 22 2015

The seventh season of Jerry Seinfeld's excellent Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee will debut on Wednesday, December 30, and if this first trailer is any indication, the guest lineup is damn impressive. But rather than building up to one big guest over the course of the season, the show is starting with one of the biggest guests possible – the president of the United States. President Barack Obama will join Seinfeld behind the wheel of what looks like a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray for a trip around the South Lawn of the White House. According to CBS, the pair will enjoy their coffee in the staff dining room, which is probably a better idea than crippling Washington, D.C., with a Stingray-led motorcade. Aside from the president, Seinfeld has recruited a couple comedy icons, including first-timers Will Ferrell and Steve Martin. Also appearing are Garry Shandling, Sebastian Maniscalco, and Kathleen Madigan. The four-wheeled stars will include the Corvette, a Plymouth Superbird, a Chevy Camaro, a classic Porsche 911, a BMW 2002, and what we think is a (rather troublesome) 1952 Siata 208 8V Coupe Balbo. You can check out the entire trailer up at the top of the page.
