RE-LISTED DUE TO NON PAYING BIDDER (jhusard is the eBay handle, beware) WHO COULDN'T ADHERE TO THE SIMPLE POLICY THAT IF YOU HAVE ZERO FEEDBACK (& no money) PLEASE DO NOT BID. HE JUMPED IN LAST MINUTE AND 'WON' THE AUCTION, AND THEN, OF COURSE, VANISHED, AND NEVER RESPONDED OR FOLLOWED THROUGH, MAKING ME LOOK LIKE I'M PLAYING EBAY GAMES, WHICH I AM NOT. I'M SIMPLY TRYING TO SELL A VERY NICE, ORIGINAL PORSCHE 924, TO AN APPRECIATING ENTHUSIAST OR COLLECTOR. SO HERE GOES ROUND TWO... You are witnessing a rare opportunity at a true 'time capsule' Porsche 924, from 1978. When released in 1977, the 924 represented not only an entirely new direction for Porsche A.G., but also a number of big firsts for the company as well: First front engine model, first water cooled model, first optional automatic transmission. With the 1978 model year, came complete galvanizing, and comprehensive rust proof protection. At the top of the order, was the rare 'Limited Edition' model, loaded with every modern luxury and amenity available at the time. The example you are considering today, is among the cleanest, most original, well kept remaining anywhere. It was purchased new at Williams Porsche/VW by Dr. Gordon Devries, and has been owned by he and his family ever since (until this summer). With the vehicle purchase, comes not only the original window sticker, but also the original, hand written bill of sale (see pics). There is even a dash plaque presented from Porsche to Dr. Devries. The vehicle is even still titled in the original owner's name. Dr. Devries enjoyed his 924 on nice days on the short commute from home to the hospital for nearly 30 years before his retirement. It was only ever driven in friendly weather conditions. Any service and needs were always taken care of promptly through the years, and the 924 has also in the last year had a complete freshening, with new or updated battery, belts, brakes, and any other mechanical needs addressed. We even upgraded to R-134, and now the A/C blows ice cold. The car runs and drives as well as it did in 1978. There are subtle signs of loving use (a couple buffer marks, random scratches and nicks) that come with 35 years of careful use. They help to show the originality of the car. Early entry level Porsches (non 911 cars!), have shown an interesting pattern in the last several years. From the 912 to the 914, the once shadowed cars have really emerged as valuable and rapidly appreciating assets. Many feel the excellent handling (50/50 balance transaxle set up), and exceptional fuel economy will propel the 924 in value in the near future. The limited number of well kept original cars, will of course make those the catalysts of the curve. In their excellent and comprehensive collector vehicle evaluator, this is what automotive authority Hagerty has to say about the 924: "Today, the tables have turned somewhat and to some entry-level collectors, the 924 (particularly those in bright colors with the wild op-art checked “Pasha” interiors) can occasionally be more desirable than the more complex and maintenance-intensive. With fully galvanized bodies after 1977, the 924 can be a durable, simple fun first Porsche. The remaining few good ones are worth seeking out." The overall amazing original condition, coupled with the single ownership, loving care, and rare limited edition package put this example at the top of the 924 heap. Obtain yours now, before the world catches on to the unique combination of fun, high performance handling and economical value that the 924 represents. This is a NO RESERVE auction. High bid takes it, so bid to win & own! I encourage all potential buyers to come inspect the car in person prior to buying or bidding. Your bid is a binding contract. Feel free to call me with any questions or for more information. Car condition is subjective. I have owned over 100 Porsches, and am picky about my cars, but potential owners should decide for themselves if this car is for them. Car is sold AS IS, WHERE IS. I reserve the right to end the auction early for any reason. Transportation is ultimately the responsibility of the buyer. International bidders are welcome, but please have U.S. funds and transportation arranged prior to auctions end. Zero or negative feedback bidders please contact me prior to bidding or your bid may be cancelled. Please only bid or offer if you are serious. Finally, feel free to email or call me at 574-361-5315 with any questions, more details, or if you'd like to make an offer. Good luck!

Porsche planning Cayman GT4 racer
Fri, 10 Oct 2014To say that Porsche is big in racing is like saying that Warren Buffett dabbles in mergers and acquisitions. But while it fields the 919 Hybrid at Le Mans and in the FIA World Endurance Championship, the bulk of its racing activities are undertaken by private teams that buy customer racecars from the factory. Those in turn are largely based on the 911, but the latest intel from the motor racing world indicates that Zuffenhausen is planning a more accessible customer race car.
The new, more affordable competition car is to be based on the Cayman and built to GT4 specifications, slotting in below the 911-based GT3 Cup, GT3 R and RSR. Autosport reports that Porsche has already developed a prototype and will shortly commence testing. Details are scarce at the moment, but the Cayman GT4 would seem to compete against the likes of the Aston Martin Vantage N24, Nissan 370Z Nismo GT4 and Maserati GranTurismo MC. It will also likely help Porsche foster enthusiasm for a potential road version that's already been spotted undergoing testing. Previous GT4 racing conversions of the Cayman, like the one pictured above, were carried out by third-party racing constructors not recognized by the factory.
Porsche may not be the only one showing interest in the category, however. BMW is said to similarly be considering a GT4-spec version of its M235i Racing model to compete in the same class, taking the place of the defunct M3 GT4 as the Bavarian marque's entry-level customer racing car.
Exclusive: The first Porsche 911 Targa restored by Singer
Wed, Jun 24 2015We love Singer. Frankly, if you're a Porsche guy, or just a car guy, and have seen any of the Porsche 911s that have been restored and "reimagined" by the Californian company, you probably do too. So you can imagine our excitement in getting an exclusive first full look at the latest Porsche 911 restored by Singer. The car you seen in the photographs above is a special thing beyond the obsessive Singer restoration treatment. It's the first Targa the company has ever restored. Plus, this car is one of the first with a modified 4.0-liter flat-six, making around 390 horsepower and 315 pound-feet of torque. With a body clad mostly in carbon fiber, the ultra-lightweight Targa is as modern under the skin as it is retro to the casual observer. The liquid-pewter beauty makes its debutant turn tomorrow at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. We sat down with Singer founder, Rob Dickinson, to pick his brain about the new Targa, where his love of Porsches started, and about the punk-rock car company he's building in SoCal. Autoblog: Tell us a little bit about the car. It's a 911 Targa, obviously, but tell us about what's special beyond that. Rob Dickinson: This is the first time one of our clients has requested that we restore his Targa rather than his coupe and so we did. We always had hopes that we could get our fingers on a Targa and it's the first of a few that are coming down the line now, such that you'll see the second one at Pebble Beach in August. It's basically a faithful rendition of the work that we do on the coupes. The Targa presents us with new challenges, but also an opportunity to add our jewelry to the car. Obviously, that iconic Targa hoop – that was rendered in stainless steel on the original 911s in '65 – we now render that in nickel, which is I guess part of our calling card, our signature. All the brightwork we do on the coupes is in nickel and we're following that principle with the Targas as well. Just for the sake of injecting a little bit of uniqueness into the Targa hoop, we render it with two cool, air-filtering louvers, rather than three, which the early 911 had. Which we thought was a cute little touch that is somewhat different from the early 911s and very different from the later 964, which didn't have any louvers in it at all. AB: That's Porsche nerdiness in the extreme. In a good way. RD: Thank you, yeah. It's one of those things that won't be noticed by many but will be noticed by a few, and that's an insider's thing.
Porsche planning more plug-ins
Mon, Jan 5 2015Which automaker offers the most plug-in models in the industry? The answer may surprise you, because it's not Toyota, it's not Renault or Nissan or any other automaker that might spring to mind. The answer is Porsche, which already offers the Cayenne and Panamera in plug-in hybrid spec in addition to the 918 Spyder. And it could offer more in the near future. Speaking with Automotive News, Porsche's global sales and marketing chief Bernhard Maier spoke of the importance of plug-in range-extended models to the company's future plans. The 55-year-old executive, who endeavors to make his 56-mile round-trip daily commute from home to the company's headquarters in Stuttgart entirely emissions free, indicated that his company only plans to offer more plug-in models. Previous reports indicated that E-Hybrid powertrain in the Cayenne and Panamera wouldn't fit in the Macan, and that no such plans were in store for the Boxster, Cayman or 911. But when asked what Porsche had in store for the future, Maier replied: "We have a lot of ideas, but we have not approved them for production yet. The 918 Spyder shows that Porsche has the capability to produce very convincing hybrid sports cars." While clearly guarded, Maier's answer points to a future of more plug-in hybrid models from the storied German marque. All that remains to be seen is whether that will come in the form of a Boxster, Cayman, Macan or another new model altogether, like the rumored mini-Panamera dubbed Pajun or a mid-engined V8 supercar.
