1987 Porsche 930

This is a nice driver condition car with low miles and some desirable options such as Sport Seats and a Limited Slip differential.  The majority of the car is stock with no modifications other than the addition of OEM Porsche Aero door mirrors (power of course).  I recently serviced the car and repaired a few items such as the rear emergency brake assemblies, window regulator, exhaust straps, A/C lines to the compressor and the accessory belts.  The body is very straight and damage free.  The paint is also quite nice and shows very well, but being black, there are multiple, visible small paint flaws, rock chips and swirl marks which are the result of average use and nothing out of the ordinary.  The interior also shows very well and has the factory, power sport seats.  

Leather condition is very good but there is normal wear and small, slight creases.  The driver's side bolster does have minor wear but it is in better shape than most (see close up pic).  Passenger seat is nice but does have a stain on the seating surface which may be able to be fixed by leather treatment or touch up specialist (see close up pic).  Headliner, carpets, rear seats, rear parcel shelf, dash, shift knob and boot, and gauges are also very nice with no damage or warping.  

Wheels are factory option 7" and 9" BBS with no curbing or scratches; tires are recent and are in great shape.  The wheels are straight and lips are bright and the clear-coat is nearly perfect.  The painted centers are also perfect.  I have the BBS center cap wrench as well.  

Engine starts up quickly and runs very well with no smoking, stumbling or erratic idle.  Transmission shifts well and clutch engages smoothly at the appropriate pedal height.  The motor is for the most part, dry underneath but it does drip a very small amount (a couple drops maybe) particularly if the car sits for some time.  Turbo is dry and does not smoke.  Undercarriage and floors including the front pan are straight with no indentations or gouges.  Glass is very nice as well as the exterior rubber trim.  

Car has the manuals, tool kit, spare and jack.

This is a perfect car to drive and enjoy because it has nice mileage and is stock.  It's not perfect but it looks and drives great.  If you plan on buying and registering this car in CA you will not pass emissions as the car runs with no cat...car is being sold without a cat.  You are welcome to come see the car in person or if you need photographs of anything specific I will provide them to you.  If you want an independent inspection, this is also fine but it will be at your expense.  There are several, very reputable Porsche independent shops reasonably close to me.

Porsche gives Nick Murray exactly what he deserved [w/video]

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

The tale of Nick Murray and his lemon Porsche 911 appears to have come to a satisfactory end. As noted in the original story about Murray, he and Porsche Cars North America met and came to a resolution. However, we didn't know exactly what that meant, until now.
Murray has created a new video explaining that PCNA offered to buy back the car at full price or give him an exact replacement for it. This was exactly what he was asking for. Murray remains pro-Porsche in the new video. "I am definitely considering reordering a Porsche 911," he says.
Porsche also posted a message on its Facebook page that clarified the situation. "We at Porsche have always sought excellence in all that we do. We know you expect it of us. And when we don't meet that standard, we make every effort to improve," said a portion of the note.

Porsche 356 Outlaw is the other Continental

Wed, 25 Jun 2014

In Porsche parlance, 'outlaw' basically means 'hot rod,' and that definition can vary from person to person. For Jack Griffin and his 1955 Porsche 356 Continental, it means taking a great car to start with and reworking it to become a classic coupe that fits its driver perfectly. The latest video from Petrolicious highlights Griffin's 356 and all of the personalization he has in the beautiful ride.
Griffin acquired this 356 in 1994, but it came in rough shape. That made it the perfect canvas to transform the coupe into the Porsche of his dreams. On the outside, only things like the hood-mounted fuel filler, louvered decklid and Fuchs wheels give it away as something special, but underneath, it is modernized to be a faster, more robust car. Griffin considers it "a piece of art on wheels."
Hearing the Continental name associated with Griffin's Porsche might be throwing you, since it's normally more associated with Lincoln, but Griffin tells the whole story of what makes it so special on his '55 in the video. Scroll down to get an automotive history lesson and check out this fantastic 356 hot rod.

Porsche still deciding on one or two new 911 plug-in hybrids

Tue, May 29 2018

Back in March, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume told Autocar that the coming Porsche 911 plug-in hybrid "will be the most powerful 911 we've ever had." That quote portended a 992-series 911 with 700 horsepower or more. A new report in Auto Express, however, suggests Porsche is having energetic debates about just what the 911's hybrid strategy will be, and that the only agreed-upon plug-in hybrid 911 so far is a milder version to sit in the middle of the range. Putting all our rumors in a row, in January, Automobile reported on an electrically-assisted 911 with 485 hp and 561 pound-feet of torque. The new AE piece effectively endorses that, saying the mid-range hybrid would follow the program established by the all-wheel drive Cayenne e-Hybrid that produces a combined 455 hp and 516 lb-ft. The 911 would naturally use a flat-six instead of the Cayenne's 3.0-liter V6, and the sports car would be tuned for better sound response and sharper reflexes. AE says fuel economy for this hybrid should be at least 80 eMPG, with emissions of less than 80 grams per kilometer. The current base Carrera is currently rated at a maximum 38.2 mpg in the UK, with minimum emissions of 169 g/km. The hybrid, fitted with a double-clutch gearbox and Porsche's mechanical all-wheel-drive system, could run from a stop to 62 miles per hour in less than four seconds, making it more efficient than a base Carrera and much faster than a Carrera 4S. AE says there remains only "the potential for Porsche to add a second, more powerful hybrid 911," and says its sources claim that's what's "causing the most consternation behind closed doors." This one would be the twin-turbocharged, 700-hp beastie that, as a series production car, would have a hard time not usurping the 540-hp Turbo, 580-hp Turbo S, and 607-hp Turbo S Exclusive. True, the hybrid would be handicapped with a 550-pound battery pack, but the instant acceleration and handling benefits of electric AWD — with no connection between the axles — could provide the final edge over the other three. As such, it makes sense that there'd be a whole lot of debate about a flagship 911 hybrid. On the other hand, such a monster seems like an eventuality in view of Porsche's electrified aspirations, the lessons gained from the 918 Hybrid and the 919 Hybrid Le Mans racer, and the fact that CEO Blume has already spoken. The Stuttgart carmaker expects a sales mix of 25 percent electric, 25 percent hybrid, and 50 percent conventional powertrains by 2025.
