1987 Porsche 924S
Bought new In Dallas in 1987 and has been a Texas car from Day 1... Short history: Was a 1 owner from new until about 2009...Then it was sold to a local gentleman who parked it. I bough the car from him a few months ago. The "Poor man's Porsche"...The 924S, with the same 2.5L engine as the 944! I don't know how many people have asked me if I "Autocross" in my Porsche...From my reserach the 924S is highly sought out for autocross racing, it's handling and gearing is legend for that type of competition. GOOD: FU FU FUN TO DRIVE! ALL ORIGINAL, the only custom touches are the K&N filter and the speaker covers. Original "Phone dial" wheels! Handles like a dream...shifts sweet through all 5 gears and keeps climbing. Driving the 924 is great...the 924S is super great. 80s icon. I've been driving the car regularly for about 3 months now and have had no problems and have been amazed by the handling and mileage of this 87 model! BAD: The rear hatch seal is old and has some spots where water will leak. Motor mounts are the original ones and will need replacing soon. The rear hatch vinyl cover, that covers belonging in the rear hatch area, is inoperable...It operates much like a window blind. I have the shade/cover, it is just not installed now. The tires has a bit of weather cracking. There are the normal amount of rock chip spots on the front for an '87 model...easily covered up. Since I bought the car, I've: Replaced rear brakes. Flushed and replaced brake fluid. Charged AC compressor. Had timing belt checked and adjusted (passed) Had wear torn front 2 seats repaired with new vinyl/foam/stictching. Replaced front 2 speakers (have rear 2 speakers but they are not installed yet...they come with the car) Replaced shocks/hinges on hatch. Replaced shock/hinges on hood. Replaced all exterior lightbulbs. Had interior carpet/seats/dash detailed. Still have plans to install the rear speakers and tint the windows. The car is listed locally and I may end this auction if it sells. |

Watch Porsche's 918 Spyder break a sweat while hot weather testing
Wed, 19 Jun 2013With five months left until the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder enters production, Porsche engineers are still putting the hybrid sports coupe through a battery of last-minute tests. To give us new reasons to ogle over the car - as if we needed any more - Porsche has released a short video showing the 918 Spyder undergoing shakedown tests in the hot Nevada desert. And you can't drive through Nevada without visiting Vegas, too, right?
Although there's really nothing new to see in this video, it's still fun to watch as Porsche approaches one million test miles logged on this exciting new high-performance model. One interesting part (at around the 0:37 mark) shows the car taking off under electric power and then transitioning to engine power, which results in a mix of whirs and growls as the 918 Spyder switches from a 127-horsepower electric vehicle to an 887-hp hybrid supercar. Scroll down to watch - and hear - Porsche's latest creation in motion.
Porsche drivers escape this horrific VIR crash unscathed
Mon, 07 Oct 2013There is no doubting the fact that it takes nerves of steel to be a racecar driver, but the same can also be said for motorsports photographers. Case in point: The American Le Mans Series Oak Tree Grand Prix at the Virginia International Raceway where two Porsche 911 racecars crash hard into the tire barrier, but the dedicated cameraman stays with the shot - diving away only at the last second just as the battered No. 31 car (shown above) comes to rest atop the tire barriers just feet from where he was standing.
The crash occurred when the two Porsches charged hard into a corner. Judging by the video, the white No. 48 car appears to not see the orange No. 31 and the two cars make contact, skidding off track hitting the tire barriers at a high rate of speed. Both drivers walked away from the frightening crash, but the video - posted below - shows just how bad things could have been. Hopefully the close call will serve as a lesson for the woman standing in the track marshal's post who has her back to the racing as the two cars barrel directly toward her.
NYT profiles Blue Nelson, a reclusive and interesting CA car collector
Thu, 25 Sep 2014If it weren't for his Dale Earnhardt Sr. looks, Blue Nelson could be one one of those soft-spoken, nondescript guys whom you meet briefly and never learn much more about. However, as The New York Times shows in a recent profile and video, behind closed doors, Nelson keeps a fascinatingly eclectic collection of automotive oddities and vintage bicycles.
While his main career is in the movie industry, Nelson's other job is as a car hunter. He takes on clients searching for a specific model and helps them find and restore the dream vehicle that they're after. Hiring him takes some dedication, though, because Nelson doesn't advertise his services. "If people want to find me, they know how to find me," he says in the video.
Beyond being an automotive private detective, Nelson has a fantastically varied collection of vehicles of his own. He likes to have models that people don't usually see, and his garage holds a classic Chrysler New Yorker and an extremely rare Rometsch convertible. Although, the one that means the most to him is the 1962 Porsche 356 convertible that Blue came home in as a baby. Check out the video to learn more about Nelson and his philosophy about forming a bond with a car.
