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.

Motor Trend hits Laguna Seca with Ferrari F12, Chevy Corvette, Porsche 911

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

According to the crew at Motor Trend, we should think of the video below "as an addendum to Best Driver's Car," a test the magazine put together that elevated the 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S above all others in the category of driving joy. It seems the brand-new 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray wasn't able to take part in the magazine's official test, and neither was the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta.
And so Motor Trend did the only logical thing: It procured both the 'Vette and Prancing Horse as soon as it could, and put them both on track with the Driver's Car-winning 911. Of course, these cars don't actually compete against each other - the Ferrari offers up 731 horsepower and wears an asking price of $434,144 as tested, which means you could buy four loaded Corvettes for the price of one F12, and still have money left for a garage to store them in - but that's not the point of this particular test.
The point of this test isn't to listen to the beautiful sounds coming from the Porsche's flat-six-cylinder, the Corvette's pushrod V8 or the Ferrari's luscious V12, either, but the video below is worth watching for those three reasons alone. You know what to do.

Porsche drops factory FIA GTE Pro racing program for 2016

Tue, Dec 15 2015

Porsche has a wide-ranging motorsports program in store for next season, but it won't defend its title in the GTE Pro class of the FIA World Endurance Championship. This according to the road-map it laid out over the weekend at its Night of Champions year-end gala in Weissach. The German automaker enjoyed a massively successful racing season this year. With the 919 Hybrid, it took top honors for both drivers and manufacturers, winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans outright along with five additional races on the eight-round calendar to take both the drivers' and manufacturers' titles. With the 911 RSR, it also won the World Endurance Cup for GT Drivers and for Manufacturers, locking out the bragging rights in the GTE Pro category. Rather than return to defend its two GTE Pro titles, Porsche's GT racing department is essentially taking the year off. Reigning champion Richard Lietz and teammate Michael Christensen will have the opportunity to defend his title, but instead of a GTE Pro ride, they will drive for the Proton Dempsey team in the GTE Am category. They'll be joined at Le Mans by Wolf Henzler and at select points by Patrick Dempsey. That'll still put them in contention for the World Endurance Cup for GT Drivers, but without a works entry from the factory, Porsche will be out of the running for the GT manufacturers' title. The reason behind the rearrangement of its WEC GT program, according to Autosport, is to allow Porsche to focus on development of the next generation of sports racers. It's been the better part of three years since Porsche introduced the current 911 RSR, and though its performance in this year's championship clearly shows that it remains competitive, the thorough trouncing it received at Le Mans from the likes of the Corvette C7.R, Ferrari 458 Italia GT2, and Aston Martin V8 Vantage GTE show that it's not invincible. The all-new model is expected to be based on the latest generation of turbocharged 911s, to replace the current RSR. Over on this side of the Atlantic, Porsche still intends to defend its title in the GT class of the IMSA SportsCar Championship, where the Porsche North America team will field two 911 RSRs. One will be driven by defending champion Patrick Pilet and reigning Le Mans winner Nick Tandy (joined in the longer races by former McLaren factory driver Kevin Estre).

Get lost in Evo's sublime 2013 Car of the Year testing

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

Every year Evo stages its Car of the Year test, bringing the best performance cars in the world to one location for an epic shootout. This year the magazine pitted eight CotY finalists against each other on Route Napoleon in Southern France - Evo claims it's the "best road in the world" - and then proceeded to nitpick the smallest of faults on each car until the winner could be named. You see, this year's lineup of machines was just so good that only one car obviously wasn't CotY material from the get-go. Can you guess which one judging from the list below?
- Aston Martin V12 Vantage S
- Audi R8 V10 Plus
