Up for auction is this running 1981 Porsche 924 that i purchased a couple of months ago to restore for my wife.Well things have changed and we just purchased a house and are going to be moving in a few weeks so some of my projects just have to go.Before i go any further ,let me clear a few things up about the car.First of all i have listed the mileage as 100000 which is probably pretty close. The previous owner stated to me that when they purchased the car that the speedometer didnt work so they had a used speedometer put in that read 46000 miles but they never thought about marking down what the original spedometer read.So long story short i figured it would better to say the car has more mileage than it probably does.The odometer reads 46745. One last thing,this car has a clear open Pensylvania title.By open i mean that the title has been signed by previous owner but i have not filled in the purchaser information and have not registered it.OK, now on to about the car.There is a lot to cover here so rather than jumping all over the place about its condition, IM going to list all the good and then all the not so good ! Please be aware that even though this car runs and drives that i would STRONGLY consider it a project car.I would also HIGHLY reccomend that the car be trailored or towed.Remember it is a 26 year old car and things like belt and hoses have a way of going at the worst times! When i purchased the car i was told it had been sitting in the garage for atleast a year and it still has about 1/16 tank of that old fuel in it.
Now the good list. The 2.0 fuel injected engine runs pretty good,doesnt smoke or burn oil and has great oil pressure, 40lb at idle cold ,25 lb at idle when warmed up.at about 2000 rpm oil pressure jumps to about 60 lbs.
Both power windows work but the passenger side is slow going up and down.
Both power mirrors work
There is a new timing belt included (see picture of seat)
all gauges appear to work.
both headlight work,all tail lights work,turn signals work front and rear,emergency flashers work.brake lights work,dash lights work,horn works,steering feels tight,suspension feels tight,brakes good,tranny shifts good and smooth,has a new clutch,pressure plate and throughout bearing (see picture) and new clutch cable.Please note that i removed tha check plate cover to get picture of the clutch and it has since been put back on.Body is solid and i havent noticed any rust underneath the car (see picture).Has an aftermarket chrome muffler with what looks like a stainless pipe and resonater (see picture).All 4 tires are in good useable condition,maybe 12 to 15000 miles left on them.(see picture)
OK, now for all the not so good !!
The rear main seal leaks pretty good and will need to be replaced. The sunroof was sealed with silicone and then topped off with duct tape,yeah what a mess.Well i have removed all the tape and silicone and the sunroof now opens but will need a new gasket and obviously refinishing along with the roof section.(see picture) Carpet is in OK condition as far as ware and tare but VERY dirty! Emergency brake works but needs adjustment.Rear hatch wont stay up but i have replacement lift struts for it that are included.The dash pad is in bad condition but has one of those coverlays on it (plastic cover) Rear view mirror needs to be reglued to the windshield. All of the body side moldings are missing (see pictures) When you look at both sides of the car, those black lines down the sides in the middle are where the mouldings would have been, what you are seeing is the glue that is left.Sun visor clips are missing.Dome light between visors is missing.Headliner behind sunroof is torn.Heater fan works but makse noise (fan is hitting blower housing. AC does not work.Heater, defrost and ac slide controls dont work and i have no idea why,best guess is when they put the stereo in they unhooke everything for some reason and never hooked things back up.This car has some electrical issues,a few examples are that when i first got it none of the light worked,after cleaning some of the fuse terminals all of the lights came to life, including the po up headlights. another example is the wipers did work flawlessly but of course today they didnt .Chances are its a fuse issue again but i really dont have the time to check it out.The radio antenna is broken.The car has been repainted at one time and it was a really amatureish job at best.There are small dings and dents all over the car.There is a small area of rust comming through at the driver side rear wheel oppening (see picture). Driver side exterior door handle sticks a little,inside rod needs adjustment. inside handle works smoothly.Both front seats need to be either reupholstered or just replace seats.Last but not least ,there is whats called a thermo time switch which is bassically a choke for the fuel injection.Well i have had to add a jumper lead to make it function.Just put the jumper on and car start normally then after about 30 seconds unhook and go on your way.Its probably just another electrical issue but i just havent had the time to diagnose it properly.
  Well, i think i have covered just about everything. Oh, all of the pictures were taken today (4/16/13) .Please note that the exterior pictures make the car look a lot better than it actually looks like up close, all of the dings and flaws in the paint didnt show up.If you need more pictures please feel free to email me but please be spicific about what areas you want pictures of.
One last time! In my opinion this is a project car! Also in my opinion this car will need to be either towed or trailored and is not road worthy at this time.
Winning bidder to pay a $100.00 NON REFUNDABLE deposit through Paypal within 24 hours of auction end.Balance to be paid in CASH at time of pickup.Sorry but i do not accept checks of any kind,no exceptions!!! Car is to be removed from my property within 7 days of auction end unless other arrangements have been agreed to BEFORE you bid.
One last note- If the reserve price is not reached i may consider reasonable offers!
Well ,thanks for looking and have a great day!

Jay Leno plugs himself into Porsche's 918 Spyder

Mon, 24 Mar 2014

As one of the greatest sports car manufacturers of all time, when Porsche puts out a new, ultra-exclusive hypercar, enthusiasts tend to stand up and take note. Jay Leno is no exception, and now, the funnyman is finally getting his time with awesome 918 Spyder.
With his 1963 Porsche 356 and his 2005 Carrera GT flanking a Liquid Silver 918, Leno takes us through the basics of this plug-in hybrid roadster alongside Daniel Eastman of Porsche North America. Following the chat, Leno and Eastman take the German-plated car through the streets of California, testing it in a number of modes and even going on a short, all-electric freeway cruise.
If you're looking to learn more about the 918, or to just here its glorious gas engine at work, you'll want to scroll down and take a look at the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage.

UPDATE: Porsche could raise its stake in Rimac, and Rimac weighs in

Sun, Feb 28 2021

CLARIFICATION: An earlier version of this Reuters story said Porsche could raise its stake in Rimac to nearly 50%, but Rimac reached out to Autoblog to say that's not so. Here is a statement from Mate Rimac: "We have a very strong partnership with Porsche that is key for Rimac Automobili. Porsche is a shareholder in Rimac since 2018 with 15.5% ownership currently, accumulated over several rounds of investment. While it is true that we are discussing further expansion of this collaboration that will lead to increase of Porsche's stake in Rimac Automobili, some media have mistakenly reported that Porsche would take over 50% or nearly 50% of the company.   We are very happy that the partnership with Porsche will strengthen even further, but it is in the interest of both Rimac and Porsche that Rimac is a fully independent company. We are working with many car companies that are not our shareholders and there is a clear separation between shareholding and projects. It is very important to us that our industry customers have the peace of mind that Rimac is independent and that there is an "Information Firewall" between projects and shareholders (not only Porsche, but also Hyundai and others) - and this will not change. Confidentiality is very valued in the industry and one of the basics for collaboration between companies. Our shareholders are happy with such an arrangement and expect the same level of professional behaviour and confidentiality for their projects and customer projects.   So, the point is: Porsche's stake will increase but nowhere near to 50% and Rimac will remain independent with many industry customers that are not our shareholders/investors." The original story, with the 50% reference removed, appears below.   FRANKFURT — Volkswagen unit Porsche is participating in a financing round of Rimac Automobili that will see the electric supercar maker raise 130 million-150 million euros ($157 million-$181 million), its owner Mate Rimac told weekly Automobilwoche. The fundraising should be completed in two to three months and another round is planned at the end of the year, Rimac told the trade journal. Porsche owns a 15.5% stake in Rimac Automobili and could raise its stake in a deal that would also include the transfer of Volkswagen's supercar brand Bugatti to Rimac, Automobilwoche said. Volkswagen and Rimac were not immediately available for comment on Sunday.
