This 1980 Porsche 933 is one of sixteen 924 chassis cars factory developed in Weissach and delivered to Holbert Racing in Pennsylvania in preparation for SCCA D-Production competition. This was Holbert chassis #2, serial number 92A0490002, which at the hands of its first owner competed in D-Production and when that class was eliminated it was upgraded to GT-3 specs. With its second owner at the wheel, the car became arguably the most successful GT-3 924 in history, with six track records, an overall NASPORT championship and 4th at the runoffs in 1991. A number of period pictures, articles, factory letters and race results are included. Although the car has only one test day on it since a complete engine, trans, and shock rebuild, it has been in storage since 2006 and needs freshening

These cars were designed by the factory to race in SCCA D Production Championship. The Porsche project number of these race cars was 933. Only 16 were built by the factory. If you had the right connections, you could buy the parts as a kit from Porsche to convert your street car into a fully race-ready 924.

Internal factory number: 933
- Launched on April 26, 1979, as Project 924/80.
- US SCCA Racers – 16 total (1980, 92A0490001-92A0490016)
- Designed and assembled at Weissach.
- Assembly and tuning finished at Warrington, Pennsylvania by Al Holbert.
Ownership history of 1980 Porsche 924 DP – #92A0490002 – “Holbert car # 2”
Stefan Edlis:
Originally purchased through, and built by, Holbert Racing in Warrington, PA and raced under Apollo Plastics livery (car #10 and #15) in SCCA D-Production and GT-3 classes. The car was heavily modified to compete in GT-3 by David Finch, owner of Raetech Motorsports Engineering of Ann Arbor, MI. The suspension and chassis were completely redesigned. Extensive lightening, gusseting and other custom fabrication is visible everywhere. (Finch is a 6-time SCCA GT-2 National Champion driving in a Porsche 944. Finch used the knowledge gained from the Edlis conversion for his own 944 GT-2 build.) Finch believes that Holbert only built 3 complete factory cars: One that Doc Bundy drove to the 1980 DP championship, Edlis’s car and a show car now owned by Tom Brennan.). Edlis raced against and ultimately with Tom Brennan (1981 SCCA DP National Champion in Holbert 924 DP # 1).

Don Meluzio:
Purchased car from Edlis in 1988. Meluzio ran the car under Porsche Model Club livery (car #53). Meluzio won NASPORT championship in 1991 (12 wins, 9 poles, 6 track records) and again 1994. Third in Runoffs in 1989, fourth in 1991 (continuous Runoffs in the 924 from 88-92). Meluzio finished 9th in 1991 Porsche Cup, 15th in 1989 Porsche Cup and traveled to Germany for the ceremonies. Letters from J"urgen Barth (Porsche Head of Customer Racing) and Bob Carlson (Porsche Manager of Racing) congratulating him on his success. The car held the GT-3 track record at 6 tracks, including Lime Rock Park for many years with a 0:58 second lap. It has dozens of SCCA National Event wins to its credit. Meluzio’ s crew chief was Vic Biser. Michael Stimpson did the head and cam work.

Tom Scheuren:
Scheuren ran the car under the Diablo Racing banner (car #53) in SCCA regional and national events from 1993 – 1998. The car was parked in favor of a GT-1 effort in the Rolex Endurance Series. In 2005, Scheuren had the engine, trans and shocks rebuilt and it only one test day at Watkins Glen. It has been in storage since 2006.

This 924 would be competitive in SCCA GT-3 today and would likely dominate the small bore classes of SVRA and PCA. Due to the extended storage, the seller suggests that the head will need to be pulled to replace valve springs, fluids changed, seat belts updated ect before taking it to the track. 

This car has been extensively modified, it doesnt have a vin number but the parts alone are worth more then the asking price and the history on the car is solid. It will be sold with a bill of sale.

The Engine is currently disassembled to a short block. The seller is willing to reassemble the body and or pack parts inside the car for shipping. 

I’m listing this car for a friend of mine, I’m not the owner. Please get in touch through Ebay messaging let’s have a brief conversation and then I’ll put you in touch with the seller. Buyer to pay me (Uplife) a non-refundable deposit within 24 hours then arrange final payment and shipping with the seller. 

This car is located in New Port Richey, Florida (West coast, North of Tampa).

Porsche already considering even more hardcore Cayman GT4 RS?

Fri, Mar 6 2015

We're not sure what kind of person would look at the new Porsche Cayman GT4 and say "that's not enough," but we're sure they're out there. And to satisfy just such a customer, Porsche could very well offer a GT4 RS version in the future. "This is just the beginning of the era. I would be interested in doing a Cayman GT4 RS version, but at the moment we didn't even talk about such a thing. If the customers call for something like this we could think about it." These are the words of Andreas Preuninger, speaking with Evo at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show this week. As head of Porsche's GT line, Preuninger and his team are responsible for creating hardcore track models like the 911 GT3, the new 911 GT3 RS and – for the first time – the new Cayman GT4. Clearly buoyed by the early success of the GT4, Prenuninger is already looking towards the next step. Considering that the existing model already packs a 3.8-liter flat six with 385 horsepower and the manual transmissions so many GT3 fans miss, we're not sure how much more they could get out of the Cayman – but we'll sure enjoy watching them try.

Best and worst car brands of 2022 according to Consumer Reports

Thu, Feb 17 2022

It's that time again, Consumer Reports this morning lifting the curtain on its 2022 Annual Car Brand rankings and its 10 Top Picks in the car, crossover, and truck category. Drumroll, please: This year, Subaru climbs two spots to claim the winner's circle, having come third the last two years. Last year, Mazda climbed three spots from 2020 to take the crown. This year, Mazda slipped to second, BMW taking the last spot on the podium, also a one-spot drop from 2021. Six automakers in the top 10 hailed from Japan, which is one more than last year, and five luxury makers occupied the top 10, which is two more than last year. And South Korean representation didn't crack the top this year, after Hyundai managed tenth last year. The seven makes after BMW are: Honda, Lexus, Audi, Porsche, Mini, Toyota, and Infiniti.  The magazine and testing concern says its Brand Report Card "[reveals] which automakers are producing the most well-performing, safe, and reliable vehicles based on CR’s independent testing and member surveys," and that "Brands that rise to the top tend to have the most consistent performance across their model lineups." The domestics also took steps back among the 32 OEMs ranked on the 2022 card. Chrysler and Buick were the domestic carmakers who made last year's top 10 in eighth and ninth, respectively. This year, Buick dropped to eleventh, Chrysler to thirteenth. Dodge went from fourteenth to sixteenth. CR continues to ding Tesla's yoke steerer, the not-exactly-natural handhold responsible for the electric carmaker going from sixteenth last year to twenty-third this year.

Daughter has great taste, gives stepdad Porsche 914 of his youth

Mon, 14 Jul 2014

Children require a ton of sacrifices; even people without kids know that. Whether it's the time to watch a baseball game or the money just to get there, parents have to give up something for the betterment of their offspring. Of course, once a child grows up, it's finally possible to repay mom and dad for all of their hard work. In the case of Kristin Russell and her stepdad, Dave, that involves a surprise 1973 Porsche 914.
Before he got married, Dave had a sweet, white 914. He even had the money saved up to restore it, but spent the cash on the wedding instead. The Porsche languished in the garage until Dave eventually parted it out and sold it off. Years later, Russell wanted to do something to thank her stepdad for all of the things he had done for her and her mom. The only fitting thank you was an identical 914 to the one that he gave up. Scroll down to watch Dave's reaction of getting his dream car as a surprise Father's Day gift.
