1978 Porsche 924, Track Ready...turn Key And Go Race Also Street Legal on 2040-cars

Fargo, North Dakota, United States

This is a 1978 Porsche 924 built by Bill Katz (Katz Klassics)in the mid 90s.  I visited with Bill, a well know car builder, before I purchased the car last year.  Bill said he put the "best of the best" in the car for his wife to race at the track.  You can check out his e bay store and his website to see some of his items.  Bottom line is this car was built by an expert and is a ton of fun to take to the track.  I wanted to get started in road track driving and found the car for sale last year in Minnesota.  I invested some money to go through the brake system (replaced rear brake hoses), 4 wheel alignment for the track and had a general overall tune up to run at the track including; New Inner Wheel and Outer Wheel Bearings and a new strut to replace one that was leaking.  This car had no problem passing track inspection and I ran it last September.  
Visiting with Bill regarding what he put into the car, he recently told me:  Turbo fuel pump, Audi 5cy turbo fuel pressure valve regulator, throttle body was ported out, adjustable cam gear, Ansa exhaust system off turbo model.  He also lowered the car with a spring kit.

Other details I know about the car:  
  • 2.0 single overhead cam,
  • Long tube headers, 
  • Wiseco Pistons 0.50 over, 
  • 79 transmission for shorter gear ratio, 
  • KYB shocks, 
  • Procar by Scat Race Seat
  • 5 Point harness and OEM 3 point on driver and passenger sides
  • MSD wires 
  • Platinum Plugs
  • MSD Coil
  • Motor painted to match the color of car
  • Very little rust - must have been stored over the years
  • Manual fan switch
  • BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires - Same tire Bill put on the car in the 90s.  They have plenty of tread left.
  • Roll Cage
  • Working turn signals, lights and brake lights
I will also include RARE 14" Hoosier race slicks that have 3 laps on them, a total of five additional tires for track use that are basically NEW.  I purchased from a dealer who witnessed the three test laps run in Wisconsin.  From the pictures you will see extra rubber that the tires picked up because it was a very hot that day but they basically have 100% tread on them as you can see from the pictures.  Each of these tires would retail around $200.00.  I stored the tires off the rims for the winter in a climate controlled environment.   In addition, I will include 5 extra original Porsche rims.    Tires and wheels are shown in pictures.  I put a reserve on it but it is rather low.

Really looking forward to running this car at the track this summer and don't want to sell but I need to make room for the other toys.  It is a great car to get into road track with.  Handles great and has enough speed to keep it interesting.

Volkswagen Group's Vision 2030 strategy could bring revolution to the brands

Sat, May 11 2019

One would expect a corporate plan called "Vision 2030," looking 11 years ahead through wildly tumultuous times, to involve great change and numerous forks in numerous roads. According to Automobile's breakdown of Volkswagen's path forward, though, the plans contain some lurid potential surprises. The ultimate aim is return on investment, and that means ruthless reorganization of a conglomerate with eight primary car brands, two car sub-brands, and Ducati motorcycles. The first two Vision 2030 cornerstones Automobile mentions are near boilerplate: Production network restructuring, and "streamlining of key technologies." The latter two are the ones that could upend what we know as the Volkswagen Group: focusing on the Group's core brands — meaning Audi, Porsche, and VW — and transitioning to EVs, autonomy, and other mobility solutions. Based on the report, a quote from Audi's CTO referring to the Audi brand could cover how the Group plans to handle all of its brands: "We need to find a sustainable solution for the indefinite transition period until EVs eventually take over." The boutique divisions adjacent to carmaking, Ducati and Italdesign, look likely to be spun off. For the halo car brands — Bentley, Bugatti, and Lamborghini — apparently shareholders want double-digit returns on investment, and the trio doesn't have long to hit the target. One eyebrow raiser is when the report states, "Bugatti is tipped to be gifted to [ex-VW Group Chairman] Ferdinand Piech." Piech fathered the Veyron during his tenure at VW, and it was thought he commissioned the La Voiture Noire, but he's lately stepped so far back from VW that he sold all his shares in the Group. Automobile quoted a senior strategist as saying of money-losing Bentley, "Why invest on a backward-looking enterprise when you can support a trendsetter? A proud history and excellent craftmanship alone don't cut it anymore." We guess no one at Ferrari, McLaren, or even Porsche got that memo. Bentley is reportedly close to being put in time out, and if brand CEO Adrian Hallmark can't right the Crewe ship, the hush-hush Plan B is to prop the Flying B up enough to lure a buyer. As for Lamborghini, caught between two masters at Audi and Porsche, even record-breaking numbers at the Italian supercar maker barely staved off sacrilege. It's said that VW brand CEO Herbert Diess considered putting a 5.0-liter Porsche V8 into the Aventador successor.

2015 Porsche 911 GTS widens your rear-engined choices

Fri, Nov 21 2014

"Porsche needs to offer more versions of the 911" is not a phrase you'll hear uttered often. Not with 15 versions already in the catalog. But with the opening of this year's LA Auto Show, Porsche has introduced four more to bring the total up to nineteen variants. And more are no doubt on the way. What you're looking at is the new Porsche 911 GTS, which has grown from one model in the previous generation to four. Buyers will be able to choose between rear- or all-wheel drive and between coupe and cabriolet body-styles, but either way they'll be looking at a 3.8-liter flat six with 430 horsepower. That slots it in between the base Carrera and the GT3, but unlike the hardcore latter, it can be had with choice of manual or dual-clutch transmission – bringing the available configurations of 911 GTS up to eight. Spec the DCT and you'll be reaching 60 in as little as 3.8 seconds, but the pleasure won't come cheap: prices range from $114,200 for the rear-drive coupe to $132,800 for the all-wheel-drive cabrio, plus another $995 for delivery. But for that much scratch you also get the Powerkit, Sport Chrono package, wider track, lower suspension, Xenon headlamps, Alcantara trim, 20-inch alloys and more all thrown in as standard.

These three automotive Lego kits deserve your suppoort

Sat, Mar 25 2017

Lego has been quite good to car enthusiasts over the past few years. We've seen traditional kits for the classic VW Microbus, Mini Cooper, and the Caterham 620R, as well as an elaborate Technic kit for the 911 GT3 RS. But why stop there? The Lego Ideas page, which allows users to submit ideas with the chance to see their kits reach production, has many more cool car kits we'd love to see. Check them out below, and be sure to log on to vote for them. If a submission hits 10,000 votes, it is considered for production. That's how we got that Caterham kit, so it's worth your time to show your support. Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 This is a submission aimed at becoming one of Lego's Speed Champions kits. These are very small mini-figure scale car models, and the series has included the Ford GT, Audi R18 Le Mans racer, and more. This kit features a tiny version of the Peugeot 205 Turbo 16, a Group B rally racer that gave Peugeot World Rally Championship titles two years in a row. The kit has a well-executed version of the car and its massive rear spoiler on the hatch. It also comes with a big dirt crest for it to fly over, along with amazed spectators on the sidelines. Porsche 911 Turbo 930 We love the GT3 RS Lego kit, but we think it's a little lonely as the only Porsche kit available. Such an impressive Porsche deserves an impressive companion, like this 911 Turbo. It's the 930 version, which is arguably the most famous classic 911 with its turbocharged power, whale-tail wing, and scary driving dynamics thanks to considerable turbo lag and rear-engine handling characteristics. This model is quite large at 1:10 scale, and comes with a detailed interior and exterior. The best part is the remote-control components underneath that allow the car to be driven. Jeep Wrangler JK Moving off the beaten path again, we have this highly detailed Wrangler kit. Actually, we have two kits, as the creator designed both two-door and four-door versions. They both feature removable hard tops, detailed interiors, and big tires. They also come with an assortment of off-road accessories such as auxiliary lights, an off-road jack, winch, gas can, roof rack, and off-road bumper. You can also find various fluid reservoirs and engine details under the opening hood.
