I'm selling my 1983 Porsche.  It is in very good condition.  I am the 3rd owner of the car.  The original owner sold it to a colleague at work in 1989, and I bought it from him this past April.  I have not owned the car long, but I have drove it almost 10K.  I would trust this car to drive anywhere for any distance.  It had 86K on it when I purchased it.  I have the name, number and address of the mechanic and shop who serviced this vehicle since new.  I just had the timing belt, and water pump done last month.

There are no leaks of any kind that I have noticed.  The car does not burn oil,  clutch is as it should be, and all gears are as they should be.  The AC works, but could use some more R12.  It's cool, but not cold.  Heat works awesome.  Mechanically everything is sound.

Tires are Michellins with 85% tread left on each.  No uneven wear.  Alignment is straight.  Brakes are good.  I put new hood supports in as well.  I have changed the oil every 3500 miles with Mobile 1 synthetic 10/30.  New fuel filter installed as well.  And new air filter.  

There are some rock chips in the paint, but nothing excessive and not a lot considering the 31 year age of the car.  Small dent in drivers door.  It could be popped out by removing inside door panel, but it's not bad, so I wasn't concerned with it.  Small dent under right side tail light, not very noticable either.  No rust.  Paint is very glossy and sharp looking.  Has aftermarket cd player, single disk.  Some cracks in the dash, but not bad.  Couple pix show what's there.

I average 27 mpg and use 87 octane fuel.

Overall, mechanically and cosmetically this car is very good.  Low miles for the year, and has been kept in great condition.  I do have the main records for the maintenance as well.  I called the original mechanic after I purchased the car to check when things such as timing belt and water pump were done, and if any major issues were fixed.  Nothing major done, just routine timing, water pump, etc.

I also did a full tune up on the car when I bought it a few months ago.  New plugs, cap, rotor, wires.

Again, I would trust this car to drive anywhere in my opinion.  I use it as a daily driver and have not had any issues.  Fun car that gets great gas mileage.  Please ask any questions if you have any.  This is a 4 seater.  The front has plenty of room...the back seats, not so much!  I usually leave the back seat folded down for larger cargo area.  Front seats have some tears mainly along some of the seams, but are in very good shape.  I have heavy duty seat covers on them to protect them.

The car is also for sale locally so seller has the right to end auction if the vehicle is no longer available.  This is a no reserve auction, so high bidder will receive the car.

This Porsche 356 family keeps it outlaw

Wed, 29 Oct 2014

Rod Emory was the founder of Emory Motorsports in Burbank, CA, and the scion to a family tradition of building "outlaw" Porsches that are almost as cool as the cars themselves. The lovingly modified Porsche 356s are lovely artifacts, and their story, along with the story of their builders, is pitch-perfect for the Petrolicious oeuvre of beloved classics.
Tune in for the history lesson, and then stick around for the car candy.

2013 Porsche 911 RSR makes official debut

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Porsche is ready to go racing in 2013, showing off a new 911 RSR today that is scheduled to compete in several endurance events this year. Based on the current 991 911, the new RSR will compete in the 2013 season of the World Endurance Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It will not, however, make an appearance in a North American racing series this year.
The 2013 version of the racecar has increased in wheelbase by some four inches, features a new wishbone front suspension in place of the last-generation's McPherson strut setup and boasts a new, lightweight six-speed racing gearbox. The engine, meanwhile, is an "optimized" version of last year's car, a 460-horsepower 4.0-liter boxer six-cylinder. Extensive use of carbon fiber and polycarbonate windows help the RSR shed weight, and Porsche has also balanced the weight more evenly with a lower center of gravity.
Porsche has thoughtfully dedicated some space to celebrate the 911's 50th Anniversary, with the number 50 clearly visible in the top-down view of the RSR, as well as along the doors. Scroll down to read the full Porsche press release, below.

Robb Report chooses Porsche 911 as its Car of the Year

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

Robb Report has picked the seventh-generation Porsche 911 Carrera S as its 2013 Car of the Year, saying the two-door captivated its judges with "agility, driving dynamics and balance." The German coupe bested 12 others who were also in the running - the impressive list of nominees included the BMW M5, Audi S8, Ferrari FF, Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG and the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse.
Judging involved more than just throwing darts at pictures on the wall, as the publication enlisted a panel of automotive experts to test drive each vehicle for close evaluation. The panelists included 100 members of the Robb Report Club (comprised of top corporate executives and influential readers), Editor-in-Chief Brett Anderson and automotive consultant Robert Ross. Full results of the competition will be revealed in the luxury magazine's March issue, hitting newsstands in about a week.
