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.

Jay Leno chats with Magnus Walker about his 1972 Porsche 911 72STR

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

Magnus Walker has stopped by the Big Dog Garage again to pay Jay Leno a visit in the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage. This time, the Porsche builder brought along his 1972 911 72STR 002. Walker calls the machine his best build to date, and the car is a rolling "best of" from Porsches past, rocking some of the more attractive elements pulled from a wide arc of 911 model years. Of course, the machine also wears a few signature Walker touches, including flush-mount turning indicators, a center-hood fuel filler and plenty of louver work.
Unlike some of Walker's other creations, the 72STR 002 is clean enough to lick. Leno seems suitably impressed with the creation, and while apparently isn't typically a fan of Porsche models in general, Walker's tastefully modified 911 has him singing a different tune. You can check out the car in the video below.

Best sport sedans for 2022 and 2023

Thu, Nov 11 2021

SUVs dominate the car industry at every size and price level, but some people still prefer the looks, and more importantly, the performance and comfort, of the traditional sedan. With a lower ride height, lighter weight and generally smaller size, they often are much more fun to drive, and can even be more comfortable. Sport sedans of course lean harder on the performance side of things, and are among the best options for sheer speed and fun, thanks to those inherent characteristics. We've rounded up the ones in the segment that do the sporty dance better than any others in 2024 to give you a handy guide when you're shopping for one of your own. You'll find a wide array of cars here including gas, electric and hybrid powertrains. They'll have manual and automatic transmissions and drive the front, rear or all four wheels. Technically a few hatchbacks have slipped in, but they're close enough in look and feel that we wanted to include them. And excluding them means you might miss out on some of the best-driving options available. You wouldn't want that, would you? Alfa Romeo Giulia Why it stands out: Punchy four-cylinder; astounding power from Quadrifoglio; light and nimble character; awesome shift paddlesCould be better: Clunky infotainment; sub-par switchgear Read our Alfa Romeo Giulia review We start this list with one of the most predictable inclusions: the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Yes, it's a stereotype that the Italian sport sedan is fun to drive, but the fact is, well, it is. The Giulia comes standard with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 280 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful four-cylinders in the segment. It's paired with a snappy and smooth eight-speed transmission and either rear-wheel or all-wheel drive. The engine is lively and torquey, if a little short of revs, and the chassis feels super-light. The steering is eager and the car jumps into corners. We also highly recommend getting a version with the enormous and superb aluminum paddle shifters that make clicking through gears much more entertaining. And on the topic of the interior, it's attractive, but the various switches and knobs feels a little cheap, and the infotainment system is clunky. Of course there's also the incredible Giulia Quadrifoglio at the high end. It gets a Ferrari-derived twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 making 505 hp, and it's rear-wheel drive only.

Watch the trailer for Amazon's 24 Hours of Le Mans documentary

Fri, May 12 2017

Amazon's video streaming service is taking a cue from Netflix and filling its library with new, high-quality original content. This is great news for car enthusiasts, as the company seems interested in tailoring to our diverse tastes. After the successful debut of The Grand Tour, Amazon announced a new documentary based on an annual race in France. Le Mans: Racing is Everything is set to debut later this year. The first action-packed teaser just debuted. The limited series will explore the race's roots and what makes it such a grueling but rewarding place for teams and drivers and such an awesome spectacle for fans. New Black Films, the production company behind the series, embedded itself with the Porsche, Audi, Nissan, Toyota, Aston Martin and Rebellion teams, interviewing drivers like Mark Webber and Andre Lotterer. The series is set to debut on Friday, June 9, plenty of time to catch up before the 24 Hours of Le Mans later next month. Keep an eye and ear out for another Amazon project, a yet-to-be-named series on Formula 1.
