Summary:
This is a rare opportunity to own a very special and unique car. In nearly 30 years of Porsche ownership, I have
NEVER seen another. It is 1980 series 1 924 Turbo (931) with a fiberglass Holbert Racing Superwide body kit and
spectacular euro Martini striping. No rust. No leaks. No funny noises. It has a limited slip 5-speed G31
transmission with a black interior in great condition and manual sport seats. You can handily embarrass your 944
turbo, Cayman S and 911 friends as it is very fast. A wolf in wolf's clothing.
History:
I recently talked to PCNA in Atlanta about this car. They reported that it was born on July 3, 1980 and it was
presented for sale at Herman+Miller Porsche in Parsippany NJ. According to PCNA, the car was built with the
following features and options:
Engine #: 31023388
Transmission #:0203376
Alpine white
Black partial leather interior
Manual sport seats
Limited slip transmission
Rear wiper
Electric antenna
Sport group (M471)
Alarm
Goodyear tires
US standard emissions
The car was purchased new from Herman+Miller Porsche Audi by a long-time NNJR PCA member on July 31, 1980. By his
request, the bespoke Holbert superwide body kit was purchased from Holbert’s and installed in 1983 by John and
Ray Paterek at Paterek Brothers in Chatham, New Jersey, USA. The car was used for Driver’s Education and Porsche
Club events through the 80’s and 90’s and when ready to sell in 2000, the first owner brokered the car through
Mike Bavaro at Bodymotion in Ocean Township, NJ, USA. The car was sold to the second owner late in 2000 and I
bought the car in-person from the second owner in 2003. I have owned it since then.
My ownership:
The car has been garage-kept and under cover since my purchase in 2003 and I’ve added about 7k miles during that
time. I’ve maintained it of course, have done many upgrades and continue to enjoy it immensely. She comes out for
car shows, Porsche club events and your typical “cars & coffee” gatherings, always drawing a crowd. I have
never tracked the car, preferring shows and spirited (completely legal of course) back road drives.
Mileage is true and correct, title is clean and all documentation I have compiled for the vehicle is included. If
you want pictures of anything you don’t see here or if you have any additional questions, please let me know.
Features as the car sits today:
Fully documented three-owner history from the day it was born
Starts, runs, turns and stops as it should

Additional information:
Any changes I made were to add reliability or power. Original, serviceable parts that I removed during my ownership
are included with the sale – K26 4.10 turbo, air/air intercooler, original numbers matching tranny, etc.
My philosophy has been to preserve the originality and patina of the car rather than make it perfect so I’d say
the exterior is 7/10, especially regarding some light cracking in the right rear quarter panel where the fender
flair is attached. It has been this way the whole time I've owned the car and hasn’t gotten worse. I fixed it
once years ago, so I think it would be an easy repair if you wanted to do it again.
The rockers have been touched up at some point and the nose is rather low and has taken a beating over the years.
Rather than replace it I have chosen to preserve and repair it as I feel this speaks best to the story of this car.
So it is a bit chewed up but original to the conversion. It would be an easy item to remove, glass, paint and refit
if you wanted.
The interior is pretty good as are the mechanicals. Upgrades (like the PWR intercooler for example) were made to
improve reliability, performance or drivability. It also has a high-end Denon stereo that I’ve never listened to
(I like the sounds the car makes more than the stereo) but the stereo works afaik.
During my ownership, the car has been maintained by me or by Fairwinds Automotive in Bear DE. PPI is available.
Keep in mind that as with any old car, there will always be a few odds and ends that require attention.
I noticed that the left rear wheel is “dusting” slightly so I think the rear calipers will need to be
rebuilt or replaced soon.
After three or four months of sitting, the car emits some very light oil smoke on startup. I think this is the
result of the turbo seals leaking a little oil into the exhaust manifold and when you start the car it burns off.
Typical turbo. There is no discernible impact to performance, it uses NO oil, the smoke stops after a few minutes
and doesn’t come back, so other than keeping an eye on it, I haven’t worried about it much.
Despite a new battery, the car has been a little cranky recently during the first start of the day but it
always turns over normally with a jump or boost pack, so I’d attribute its reluctance to cruddy grounds or a
cracked ignition switch, a common problem for these cars.

Former Porsche boss Wiedeking won't face criminal charges over VW bid

Mon, 28 Apr 2014

Hedge fund managers have been suing Porsche for years now, alleging that the car company lied about its intentions during its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen, a gambit that caused them billion in losses. Over the same period, authorities in Stuttgart built a criminal case against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above, left) and Chief Financial Officer Holger Härter (right), filing charges in December 2012. When those fund plaintiffs lost their most recent court case, one of the dimming lights in the dark and receding tunnel was that the criminal investigation might unearth more evidence about Porsche's actions that could help the plaintiffs in pending litigation.
Bloomberg reports that another light has gone out, though, with a Stuttgart court dismissing the market manipulation case before going to trial because, as a court spokesperson said, "there wasn't enough evidence backing up the charges." When prosecutors get the files back from the court, they have a week to decide to refile, but unless they've been sandbagging evidence that could bolster the case, the only lights at the end of the tunnel will be those welcoming Wiedeking and Härter back to the world of legally unencumbered men.

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax

Thu, 24 Jul 2014



The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.

Porsche slathers Martini livery on 911, Panamera, Macan and Cayenne

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

This is how we imagine the conversation went in Porsche's Stuttgart headquarters: "Martini livery. Martini livery all the things." Okay, so maybe not, but that hasn't stopped Porsche from showing off images of its entire lineup bearing the iconic racing livery.
While we aren't sure about the questionably yellow 911 and lime green Macan, the navy blue Cayenne and the white Panamera both look pretty spectacular as they lap about the streets of Sochi, Russia.
As for why the liveried sports cars and crossovers were at the site of the 2014 Winter Olympics, we aren't totally sure. Porsche's Facebook page, where the images first popped up, was really light on details. Whatever the reason, we fully support Porsche doing more with Martini livery. Take a look at the full gallery to see what we mean.
