This is an original California car with no rust issues that I am aware of.  I  have tried to include pictures of all areas of the vehicle and especially those that usually are rust prone in 914s. 
Engine has been modified with a 912 case, stock heat exchangers(not stainless steel) with a tubular header with muffler attached. This is the exhaust system and the cabin itself is not heated.  The original heat exchangers were removed for weight and power savings as vehicle was modified for speed. Lines are straight and additions include a mild performance cam, counterbalanced crank shaft, aluminum rods, performance pistons, solid lifters, and dual 40 Weber carbs. 

Interior is in good condition -classic sports steering wheel has great feel , carpets are new, windshield is new and all glass is tinted. Electronic ignition is new. Dash has one or two minor cracks and a CD player has been added. All electronics seem to be functioning fine.

Battery tray has been removed and battery relocated to rear trunk for better weight distribution and room in the engine bay. Engine bay, rear and front trunk storage areas and undercarriage have been coated with a  protective spray (similar to truck bed liner material).Custom carpet panels and carpeted battery box. Front brakes are upgraded BMW 320i and rear brakes have been rebuilt(new standard rotors and pads all around) 
Transmission is smooth and all linkage bushings have been replaced.

Car came with two  vintage 911 seats which we have replaced with new Corbeau bucket sport seats for a better fit. The two 911 seats are included in this sale. One seat has a slight tear in seat area. Paint near the doors had several bubbles which we sanded and tried to repaint but the paint company sent us wrong color so those small areas are a lighter than the rest of the car. I have tried to show it in the photos but it's not very noticeable.

2014 Porsche 911 Targa

Tue, 15 Apr 2014

I've watched the electro-hydraulic roof panel open and close about 73 times in the past hour, but its fascinatingly complicated operation still has me mesmerized. I've concluded that only a German automaker - Porsche, to be more specific - would go through the trouble of engineering a roof system that essentially lifts the entire greenhouse off a vehicle, rearranges its components like a sliding-tile puzzle, and then reassembles all of them seamlessly (sans roof panel) to accurately recreate one of its most famed bodystyles.
The 2014 Porsche 911 Targa is a near-perfect modern interpretation of the automaker's 1965 911 Targa, a semi-convertible bodystyle that represents nearly 13 percent of all 911 models sold since production started 50 years ago. While the early car's roof was purely manual in operation - that's the period-correct way of saying that the driver did all of the muscle work - today's Targa is a completely automated transformation that requires only that the driver hold down a cabin-mounted switch for a mere 19 seconds to let the captivating show run its course.
After studying the Targa's elaborate roof operation at its launch at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year, I was sufficiently intrigued. To that end, I traveled one-third of the way around the planet to southern Italy, hoping that the Mediterranean climate would reveal a bit more about the reintroduction of the automaker's iconic sports car.

Porsche 911 GT3 RS facing delay over GT3 fire problems?

Mon, 24 Mar 2014

Porsche has never been afraid to introduce variants of its cars. However, its even higher spec, next-generation 911 GT3 RS may be delayed from its planned launch this summer while the engines in the standard GT3s (pictured above) are replaced.
A delay isn't certain, but executives want to make sure the high-strung mill is no longer a problem before they press forward with another model using it. Germany's Auto Motor und Sport asked Porsche CEO Matthias Müller about pushing back the launch, and he responded that it was too early to say. The company's current focus is making sure the engines get fixed and working on internal measures to prevent this kind of flaw in the future.
When fires claimed two 911 GT3s in Europe, Porsche initially stopped the model's sales and asked owners to stop driving them. It finally diagnosed the blazes as being caused by a loose screw on a connecting rod, which then resulted in crankcase damage and an oil leak. The company is replacing the engines on all 785 affected cars. A source told Autoblog that under 200 customers were actually affected, and the other cars were either at port or dealer lots. Hopefully, the recall doesn't postpone the road-going GT3 RS too far because we want to see what Porsche has up its sleeve.

Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.
