Color:
Location:
San Jose, California, United States
All original, no excuses, car. In 1986, the legendary 930 Turbo returned to North America, after being absent since the 1979 model year. As such, this is an NA car, not a gray market car. And what better expression of 1980s excellence in cars is there? White gold exterior with gray green leather, carpet, and gray flannel cloth inserts. Factory option center painted Fuchs with colored crest caps. Sports seats L/R, heated seats L/R. Very unique color combination, not the common black/back, Guards red/tan or silver/black. The collector's market has been placing a premium on unique colorways in recent years. I am the third owner. The second owner held the car for 23 years and sold it to me when he retired and left southern California. Car comes with the original window sticker (from when it was sold as a used vehicle in 1990 to the prior owner by Carlson Porsche in Palo Alto for $55,300), a recently issued Porsche Certificate of Authenticity (to me), partially stamped service book, all manuals, etc. At 101,667, the car had a full engine rebuild by Andial Road and Racing in Santa Ana, arguably the most famous and respected Porsche tuning and service/racing shop in California (Porsche has since bought them). Car also had front and rear rotors and pads and a bunch of misc stuff. Total bill in excess of $22K. This was done by the prior owner. Since I got the car: At 104,498, the car had a major service at Lucient Technology, where it got new Bridgestone tires, all fluids and filters changed, fuel accumulator replaced, ignition replaced, AC converted to R34, axle boots, battery, and a number of misc trim details fixed at a cost of $6,972.50. The full carpet set was replaced with a custom ordered Belgian reproduction (Lakewell Classic Car interiors), just like OEM. The interior was cleaned and detailed, rubber seals were replaced, and a worn seat area was replaced, over $3,800 invested. The wheels were refinished and areas severely stone chipped were re-shot and tiny tiny parking lot dings were repaired ($3,400). Steering wheel was 100% restored to stock and is in a box. A vintage period correct Momo Prototipo was installed ($1,500 for both). Car does not only show very well, it drives even better. I have polished every issue out of the car mechanically, etc., yet, it's still a "driver" car and can (and should) be used and enjoyed as designed. If you look hard enough, you'll find a small stain on the rear passenger seat, a stone chip or two, a place where the flat black might be re-shot, broken dust door on the OEM cassette deck, but you have to REALLY look for them. To me, it's the perfect outcome of original (there is patina, the car appears "balanced" in appearance and age inside and outside and under the hood) and restored with a light and careful touch, but backed with a significant investment in polish and work. The high milage is more than offset with the re-fresh of the car, the rebuilt engine, the brakes. ALL work has less than 4K miles on it. All my work has less than 1K miles on it. Car is stored in a hanger and driven in the dry on weekends and weeknights. SoCal car since 1990. Passed Smog and has certificate. This is the real deal. Not modded (except window tint), no excuses or stories or questions on condition. Some of the best in their field have had their hands on this car's recent work. Anyone following the air-cooled Porsche market knows these cars are on fire. Compared to a pre-'74 911 S, or a 2.7 Carrera, they continue to be the best performance/exclusivity/cost value in the eco-system.

Paul Walker's daughter files wrongful death suit against Porsche [UPDATE]
Tue, Sep 29 2015UPDATE: This post has been edited to include a statement from Porsche. While police blamed the crash that killed Fast and Furious star Paul Walker and racecar driver Roger Rodas on excessive speed, Walker's daughter, Meadow, thinks Porsche is at fault. The 16-year-old has now filed a wrongful death suit against the German manufacturer to back up that allegation. According to legal documents obtained by E! Online, the suit alleges that the Carrera GT that Walker and Rodas died in "lacked safety features ... that could have prevented the accident or, at a minimum, allowed Paul Walker to survive the crash," with Porsche Stability Management being called out in particular. Federal motor vehicle safety standards didn't require new cars sold in the US to be equipped with electronic stability control until 2012. The suit focuses not only on the Carrera GT's lack of electronic safety systems and "history of instability and control issues," but on an allegedly defective seatbelt. It claims that upon impact, the belt "snapped Walker's torso back with thousands of pounds of force, thereby breaking his ribs and pelvis," and prevented him from exiting the car before it caught fire, roughly a minute and 20 seconds after the initial impact, according to TMZ. Soot found in Walker's windpipe supports the theory that he was alive and breathing when the fire started, the suit continues. Like the suit Roger Rodas' widow filed against Porsche in 2014, Walker's filing also alleges that the Carrera GT wasn't traveling at 80 to 93 miles per hour, as a police investigation concluded. But where Mrs. Rodas claimed the Carrera GT was going 55 at the time of the crash, this suit claims the hypercar was moving at 63 to 71 mph. That's a more manageable figure to be sure, and if true would have a serious impact on the way the car behaved, but it's still well above the road's posted 45-mph speed limit. "The bottom line is that the Porsche Carrera GT is a dangerous car," Meadow Walker's lawyer told TMZ. "It doesn't belong on the street. And we shouldn't be without Paul Walker or his friend, Roger Rodas." Porsche, meanwhile, has stood by the reports from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and other authorities.
Vintage 911 sacrificed in the name of fashion
Fri, Jul 31 2015People routinely suffer in the name of looking good, whether through a pair of uncomfortable, stylish shoes or a nice shirt that doesn't breathe in the summer heat. Rarely is a vintage sports car the recipient of this sartorial pain, though. In a bizarre, short video from the fashion label Rag & Bone, an old Porsche 911 is the one taking all of the damage in the name of being chic. And it's really painful to watch. Give this video a few seconds to get going because it starts very weird (fashion!). Black smoke billows up through a hole in a harshly lit white room, and a woman keeps switching outfits. If the attempt at being artsy isn't painful enough, things get really traumatic for Porsche fans once the 911 appears on screen. Seeing a classic car get destroyed hasn't been this harrowing since the government publicly destroyed an illegally imported, classic Mini last winter. Thankfully, this 911 was reportedly just a shell, according to Jalopnik. Although even if that's the case, the body looks to be in great shape, and from the tiny glimpse through the windows, the interior even looks largely intact. This coupe might have been a pretty good restoration candidate if not for the massive hunk of concrete crashing through the roof to make a fashion video.
Jay Leno takes an in-depth look at a 1964 Porsche 356C restomod
Tue, Oct 13 2015Look nearly anywhere at Dr. Anand Rajani's 1964 Porsche 356C, even the engine, and you would never realize that it boasts around 50 percent more power than stock. There's no sign of any other mods to make the drive a bit more modern, either, but they're there. The car's invisible upgrades result in an amazing transformation of a car that started out pretty great to begin with, and Jay Leno can't seem to get enough of driving this beautiful, gray coupe with restorer John Willhoit. Before going for a drive, Leno takes a deep dive into the details of this Porsche's modifications, particularly of its engine. The result of all the work is a mill that looks visually stock but actually boasts a significant jump in displacement. Willhoit admits this is particular one is a fairly conservative build but output still reaches 145 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque. If you're worried that Jay's CNBC show might have a detrimental effect on the quality of the Jay Leno's Garage YouTube video series, then here's your answer. For vintage Porsche fans interested in the nuts and bolts of making them even better, it's hard to imagine Leno making a better clip than this one.
