The Good: To quote 924.org "The 924 Turbo, aka 931 model. Probably the most economical Porsche with the greatest performance and performance up-gradability of all the cars built in the late 70s to mid 80s."

This is a very nice 924 Turbo overall. I have owned it for 9 years. It's a white car, black leather interior. 5 speed manual, manual sunroof. She has no rust on her and is a wonderful drive. There's no other telling feature of this car that it is a Porsche than when you drive it. When the Turbo kicks in, you can't help but smile. It has nice handling too. Nice rims and all 4 tires are new. Seats were recently upholstered and carpet died as it had faded over time. It has a new radio/CD player. Ignition was re-done and now has push-start under steering wheel. Dash had some cracks but I installed a cover and it looks brand new. Undercarriage is remarkable for being 34 years old. I have the "Porsche" and "924 Turbo" decals for the back but they are not on the car. The car is currently on the road under collector's insurance.

The Bad: Previous owner disconnected speedo so mileage is unknown. It currently reads 44,000 KM (which is only 27,800 miles) but I did a basic rebuild on the engine less than 1,000 miles ago - Piston rings, Gaskets, and honed the cylinders out. The car is 34 years old so it is missing a couple of things. It needs speakers, rear window supports, rear windshield wiper motor (has worked before but it's not connected). The A/C does not work but could be as simple as a re-charge. It has a small draw of electricity somewhere so if you let it sit, the battery will die if not disconnected. Nothing major is wrong, it passes inspection.

I will not ship this car unless you cover all the costs. I'd prefer local pickup but will consider meeting somewhere with it to cut down travel time if negotiated beforehand. I accept PayPal. Message me for any questions and I will try to answer asap.

Porsche 918 Spyder roars electric through London

Sun, Jun 29 2014

The Porsche 918 Spyder can be an object of lust for anyone who appreciates the finer things in the automotive world, but for us greenies with penchant for speed, the car is an icon. This gorgeous, all-wheel-drive plug-in hybrid offers 887 horsepower and 940 pound-feet of torque, can do 0-60 in just 2.5 seconds and is capable of 214 miles per hour. It lapped the Nurburgring in a record 6:57. Still, it is capable of near-silent, relaxed cruising through one of Europe's busiest cities. In a new video from Porsche, chief driving instructor Gordon Robertson takes the 918 to London and does just that. While driving in E-Power mode, he describes some of the things that make the car special, as well as how the technology has developed through the 911 GT3 R Hybrid and the 919 LMP1 car to eventually be passed onto the Panamera S E-Hybrid. If you're interested, you can learn more about the car in our own drive review, here. It's great to see, for the first time, the 918 Spyder driving alongside London's black cabs and double-decker buses. The rubbernecking from pedestrians is noticeable and completely understandable. I'm sure we'd all love to see this car come silently sneaking down our own city streets, but until Porsche makes that happen, you'll just have to enjoy the video below.

Magnus Walker turbocharges his love for the Porsche 911

Thu, 31 Oct 2013

He's had his fill of early, long-hood Porsche 911s - he owns at least one from each model year, from 1964 to 1973 - so Magnus Walker, a fanatic of the Stuttgart, Germany-based automaker, recently set his sights on the early Porsche 930, as documented by this XCAR video called 'Turbo Fever.' Let us translate: pretty soon Walker will own all of the earliest, non-intercooled 911 Turbos - at least one from each model year, starting at 1975 and ending at 1977 (though the 1975 911 Turbo Carrera never officially was imported to the US by Porsche, so it'll be tougher to find one Stateside).
Any Porsche enthusiast can tell you why they love their car, and it often comes down to the small details that differentiate one model year from another. One of many examples is the mid-'80s 928. They look similar, but the basic difference between a 1984 Porsche 928 S and a 1985 928 S (US-spec) is two camshafts and 54 horsepower, though each car's V8 has its own pros and cons. We'll let Magnus Walker tell you all about the 930 and what makes the first three years special, as he's becoming quite the expert on early, air-cooled 911s. When the nearly 15-minute mini-documentary was filmed, which you can view below, he already had added four early 930s to his collection!

Petrolicious explores long-term living with Porsche's 914/6

Thu, 15 May 2014

After its last video starred none other than the spectacular Ferrari 250 GTO, where was there for the video team at Petrolicious to go? Certainly, in the realm of classics, there are only a few other vehicles that can match the badge and pedigree of the ultra-rare Ferrari. Maybe a Jaguar D-Type or an Aston Martin DBR1? No, this latest video doesn't star either of those British icons. It stars an oft-misunderstood, occasionally derided entry from Germany's most sporting manufacturer - Porsche.
Yes, we've gone from a Ferrari 250 GTO to a Porsche 914/6. As is often the case with Petrolicious, though, the story told about the car by its owner are often more important than the make or model of car being highlighted. That's exactly the case here, as Jack Griffin talks about the 38 years he's spent with this particular Porsche.
Having been born into the Volkswagen fold and introduced to Porsche in the best way possible - behind the wheel of a 356 - Griffin has some interesting stories (including his attempt at running the 12 Hours of Sebring), and he knows a fair bit about some of the 914's attributes.
