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.

Porsche 911 and Citro"en DS lovechild would look like this

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

The early Porsche 911 and the Citroën DS were two cars produced in the same era (though the DS launched in 1955, nearly 10 years before the 911), but they were vastly different from each other. The 911 was a uniquely German, pure-bred sports car, while the French-built DS had four doors and focused more on ride quality than sporting intentions. That made it all the more surprising when we came across the 911DS, a creation that binds the rear half of the Citroën to the front of an early, longhood 911.
The folks at Brandpowder are behind the creation, which we surmise was an exercise in design rather than an actual, completed project (some of the images look Photoshopped), but it's compelling nonetheless, with a turbocharged flat-six providing 260 horsepower. We hope someone builds it - though we're sure if that happened the early 911 crowd would cry afoul at one of its increasingly rare and valuable Porsches being grafted onto an old French car.
But as Brandpowder points out lightheartedly, perhaps the creation could transcend popular car culture: "The 911DS represents the effort of two countries, a genuine attempt to join their energy and talent into one thing. We hope Germany and France will be inspired by Brandpowder's story, as a metaphor for a better and greater Europe."

Watch Jay Leno's Garage work on a Porsche 911 and others

Mon, Apr 18 2016

Jay Leno doesn't just own a bunch of cars – he restores them. (Or has people who restores them, at any rate.) For this latest video, he's showing us some of the projects he and his team are currently working on. The tour-de-garage starts with a 1953 Cunningham that had been in storage since '68, complete with a copper grille ready for plating and a 331 Hemi V8. Jay says that every one of the cars that Briggs Cunningham made is still on the road – but that's just one of the dozen or so projects Jay and company are working on. There's a suitably brown '71 Porsche 911 T in near-original condition having sat untouched parked underground in Beverly Hills for decades, and a '58 Chrysler Imperial convertible once driven by Clark Gable and Frank Sinatra, and now getting a brake upgrade. There's a Volvo 122 wagon that's been stripped down, media-blasted, and powder-coated, a thousand-horsepower Rolls-Royce, a 1960 Nash Metropolitan, a supercharged Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman, and a 1914 Detroit Electric. And those are just the four-wheeled automobiles. Over in the two-wheeler section there's a pair of Brough Superiors, a BSA, an Indian, and a custom racing sidecar that Jay's mechanic Bernard is working on. In short, Jay Leno's Garage isn't just one where vehicles are kept – it's one where vehicles are brought back to life.

Porsche CEO hints at Macan GTS, expects brand sales growth to 200K+

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

Porsche is expecting big things from its little Macan, with CEO Matthias Mueller announcing that not only is a sportier GTS model being considered, but that the CUV will almost certainly help push Porsche beyond its 200,000-unit-per-year sales goal three years earlier than expected.
"We're transferring the genes of the Porsche brand into a new market segment," Mueller said during a speech to kick off Macan production, according to Automotive News Europe. Macan demand should push the brand past 200,000 sales, Mueller said, confirming what we reported back in August. And if Porsche really has a hit on its hands, it is able to boost production of the sporty crossover beyond its initial capacity of 50,000 units, according to the brand's CEO.
Provided that the Macan is the success Porsche hopes it will be, Mueller hinted that the range could expand beyond the initial Macan S and Macan Turbo. "GTS versions have a tradition at Porsche," Mueller said. "We haven't made a final decision yet regarding the Macan, but I'm sure it makes a lot of sense."
