First of all,I'll start by saying you can get in this car,start it up and take off. It's a daily driver which I had full intention of restoring but at 6 3' inches tall-I find myself pretty squeezed in there so I've come to the realization that even though I wanted one of these for over 20 years-it's not for me anymore. 

The car has been through a few owners over the years and each one has done a few things to the car...including myself. 

It will need some parts to complete but it is safe to roll around anywhere as is. I have the carpet kit for it in the rear trunk,the front trunk is in super good condition,the glass is good,the floors are good(they have been sealed by me),the "Hell hole" is not bad but there is a rust section on the lower right rocker panel near the rear of the door. 

I have a new racing motor mount for it that goes with the car. It has a new battery,alternator and have been recently serviced. It's lowered slightly with Panasport wheels and Pirelli tires which still have plenty of tread on them. 

The stereo is all there but it is not hooked up at the moment,the odometer is not working and you will need some wiper arms and blades. They were taken and I did order some from eBay and I never received them. I have a case pending on that one. That ticked me off something fierce. 

The engine doesn't burn or leak oil and the transmission shifts fine and doesn't grind at all if you downshift. 

The rear trunk has no rust as does the front. There is a small amount of surface rust in the engine bay where the paint has come off over the years but it is nothing major. There is some bubbling on the front fender and if I was going to do it right-I'm probably think about finding a different fender instead of saving this one. 

I will take many more pictures tomorrow or Tuesday so that you can get a better idea of what is here. It's not bad by any means but it is not a "show car". It does however,garner attention when you drive it on the streets. 

You will want to acquire an antenna as well. I've been looking for a correct rubber one but no dice just yet. 

The rear trunk lock had been replaced and the reflective "PORSCHE" section is not there. Those are out there though and shouldn't be difficult to locate. 

With a little TLC and some love-this thing will be sick! Depends what you want to do. I take it out 2 times a week and get it up on the freeway and through the streets here downtown it keep everything good to go. It's basically like driving a go-cart. 

If it doesn't sell,I'm not even going to worry about it. I'll just keep it and figure it all out somehow. 

Thanks, Jason

The original Bosch fuel injection is all there and hooked up. This has not been modified to carbs. It all works great so I saw no need to mess with it and would rather it be original rather than "mickey-moused".

The mood at this year’s Paris Motor Show: Quiet

Tue, Oct 2 2018

The Paris Motor Show, held every other year in the early fall, typically kicks off the annual cavalcade of automotive conclaves, one that traverses the globe between autumn and spring, introducing projective, conceptual and production-ready vehicle models to the international automotive press, automotive aficionados and a public hungry for news of our increasingly futuristic mobility enterprise. But this year, at the press preview days for the show, the grounds of the Porte de Versailles convention center felt a bit more sparsely populated than usual. This was not simply a subjective sensation, or one influenced by the center's atypically dispersed assemblage of seven discrete buildings, which tends to spread out the cars and the crowds. There were not only fewer new vehicles being premiered in Paris this year, there were fewer manufacturers there to display them. Major mainstream European OEM stalwarts such as Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Nissan and Volkswagen chose to sit out Paris this year, as did boutique manufacturers like Bentley, Aston Martin and Lamborghini. This is not simply based in some antipathy on the part of the German, British and Italian manufacturers toward the French market — though for a variety of historical and societal reasons that market may be more dominated by vehicles produced domestically than others. Rather, it is part of a larger trend in the industry. Last year, Mercedes-Benz announced that it would not be participating in the flagship North American International Auto Show in 2019 — and that it might not return. Other brands including Jaguar/Land Rover, Audi, Porsche, Mazda and nearly every exotic carmaker have also departed the Detroit show. Some of these brands will still appear in the city in which the show is taking place, and host an event offsite, to capitalize on the presence of a large number of reporters in attendance. And even brands that do have a presence at the show have shifted their vehicle introductions to the days before the official press opening in an attempt to stand out from the crowd. In many ways, this makes sense. With an expanding number of automakers, with diversification and niche-ification of models and with wholesale shifts that necessitate the introduction of EV or autonomous sub-brands, there is a growing sense that, with everyone shouting at the same time, no one can be heard.

2012 TechArt Porsche 911 is visually dazzling, both inside and out

Wed, 07 Mar 2012

One way to ensure that your brand-new Porsche 911 (a.k.a. 991) won't look like the one in your neighbor's driveway is to give TechArt a call. The famed German tuner has rolled out its version of the latest Carrera and Carrera S at the Geneva Motor Show and trust us, it won't be mistaken for anything from the factory in Stuttgart.
Up front, TechArt has fitted its own unique two-part spoiler with integrated splitter while more aggressive side skirts adorn the rocker panels. The rear has a new lower diffuser, wrapped around the TechArt exhaust, and a large fixed rear wing (complete with an integrated third brake light). Look more closely to notice the subtle trim panels on the exterior mirrors and front headlights. The wheels are lightweight forged 20- and 21-inch alloys with matching paint on their rims.
Inside the heavily modified cabin are even more drastic enhancements (let's say TechArt has gone over the top). Don't let the aluminum pedals be a distraction as you inspect the black Alcantara and high-grade leather covering nearly every square inch. Flirting with gaudy, the dark upholstery is contrasted by vehicle-color-coordinated stitching and painted trim splashed throughout. However, the icing on the cake is an insanely thick TechArt three-spoke sports steering wheel.

Petrolicious studies the purity of a Porsche 911 2.7 RS

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

Water-cooled Porsches are superior to the old, air-cooled models. This really isn't up for debate, despite the mob of Porsche purists, with pitchforks and torches in hand, currently descending on the Autoblog offices. Water-cooled models are more powerful and easier to live with, two factors that make modern Porsches just so darn amazing.
And while we won't hear arguments on anything we've written above, we will say that the old air-cooled models, while not superior, are just, somehow, better. They sound better - a lot better. They're simple, elemental and wildly entertaining things, that just beg for more and more. They rev in a way that forces drivers to work to unlock their power, rather than just push their right foot down. Part of the appeal of air-cooled Porsches, in addition to what we just listed, are the gorgeous cars they're slotted into, like the subject of the latest video from Petrolicious.
Starring a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS, this video is a bit shorter than recent ones, but it's no less exciting. This 911, complete with it's sweet-sounding exhaust is the kind of simple, entertaining thing we can watch over and over. Scroll down for the full video.
