This car started as a daily driver with a short commute for the first two years of its life and than to an occasional good weather vehicle. I purchased this car from the original owner in 2008 with less than 25K miles. The car is in excellent condition with just over 30,000 miles now. The 1.8 liter engine retains its original fuel injection and runs flawlessly. In 1990, the original owner believed he would keep the car forever, so he completely disassembled the car, brought it to bare metal, and painted the entire car inside and out. The two trunks, underbody, engine compartment and interior were painted a black imron that shows very well. The exterior was changed from green to what I believe is Guards red. The car handles like a dream and needs nothing. The interior shows that it has been garage kept its entire life with no sun damage to dash or seats. There are no rips or tears in the interior. I would consider the car to be a collector quality due to its low mileage and original condition. The car has the Appearance Group option which gives the center guage console and fog lights. The car has never had rust anywhere on the vehicle. The only upgrades are stainless heat exchangers and pointless distributor. I have the original AM radio and speakers that go with the purchase.

I recommend a personal inspection.

Transport is the buyers responsibility.

The car is for sale locally and the auction may end sooner than auction end.

The mid-engine Porsche backstory

Thu, 09 Oct 2014

As an automaker's identity evolves over years, its signature becomes defined by any number of factors - heritage (Mercedes-Benz), image (Lamborghini), or market share (Toyota). In the case of Porsche, it was an engineering quirk that forged the German company's most enduring character trait.
Porsche would not have survived - let alone, thrived - in today's saturated landscape had it not been for the 911, and that slope-tailed sports car wouldn't have sprung to life without its predecessor, the 356. While phenomenal success of those rear-engine icons built the company, forays into the mid-engine configuration have played a significant part in establishing the brand's identity.

Take a POV hot lap in the Porsche 918 Spyder

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

That title about says it all. This is a hot lap of the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, TX, with Porsche Works Driver Patrick Long at the wheel of a Porsche 918 Spyder. The camera is basically showing us everything that Long sees, making this not just one of the coolest 918 videos we've seen, but also one of the neatest laps of CoTA.
As Long peers through the bends, so will you. You'll see him fight the wheel, and find out just how difficult it is to hustle this hybrid hypercar around a world-class track at speed. It's pretty darn entertaining. There are also a few scattered shots of the 918's exterior just to break up the interior awesomeness, although we aren't exactly complaining about those. Take a look below for the short video from Porsche.

Paul Walker's accident due to 'speed, and speed alone'

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

Following an investigation into the crash that killed Fast and Furious star Paul Walker and driver Roger Rodas, an unnamed law enforcement source told the Associated Press that there were no signs of mechanical failure on the Porsche Carrera GT that was destroyed in the accident.
The report from The Huffington Post claims the officer in question blamed "speed, and speed alone" in the fatal accident. The same report ruled out the presence of debris in the road, which may have caused Rodas to lose control of the V10-powered super car.
Engineers from Porsche are traveling to California to investigate the accident with the help of the Carrera GT's on-board data recorder. Until then, investigators won't speculate on the car's speed at the time of the wreck.
