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.

Sunday Drive: A tale of old favorites and upcoming challengers

Sun, Oct 8 2017

Sedans and crossovers dominated the attention of our readers last week, led by the completely redesigned 2018 Honda Accord. It's the Japanese automaker's flagship, and people are seriously interested in finding out how good the latest Accord is. So interested, in fact, that no other single story came close to the brand-new Accord in Autoblog reader interest. Moving down the list we find the equally new 2018 Buick Enclave. The three-row crossover has a lot to offer a family, especially one looking for a nice, quiet ride. If you're looking for the exact opposite of nice and quiet, but still want enough room for you and your significant others, the Subaru WRX that we tested last week may be the perfect ride for you. Or, if you just want to drive fast and aren't at all worried about space, there's the Camaro SS. See? We offer something for everybody. From there, we look to the future. Who isn't interested in seeing the first fully electric vehicle from Porsche? And who isn't intrigued to see the Mission E testing alongside a gaggle of Teslas? A brand-new Jeep is always a big deal, especially when it's the revival of a classic nameplate like the Grand Wagoneer. And finally, we have something completely different: the Rezvani Tank. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2018 Honda Accord First Drive | Feels like home again 2018 Buick Enclave First Drive Review | Fortress of quietude 2018 Subaru WRX Drivers' Notes | Turbo traditionalist 2018 Chevy Camaro SS Drivers' Notes | Demonstrative power, middling interior Porsche Mission E caught testing against Teslas Jeep three-row SUV caught on public roads — Grand Wagoneer, perhaps?

Porsche 911 GT3 RS revealed in patent photos

Fri, 01 Aug 2014

Porsche has been taking its time developing the most hardcore 911 models for the latest 991 chassis. While the GT3 has been on the market for a little while, it suffered from some teething issues. The 911 GT3 RS is certainly on the radar since being spotted testing, but it's always better to get a look at a new car without all of the camo to hide the coolest parts. Thankfully, Car in the UK has some patent photos of the RS ahead of its debut, and they show off one mean-looking 911.
The first thing that you notice about the RS is that Porsche clearly isn't afraid to rework the latest 911's shape for its track-focused version. Each piece is slightly resculpted to squeeze the most out of it. Up front, the air dam has the same shape to the earlier photos. They also both highlight the upcoming model's tiny air inlet at the tip of the hood, the massive intakes in the rear fenders and general design of the rear wing with a ducktail underneath. The bubbled roof is much clearer here, where it was disguised in spy shots. You can also spot the slashing fender gills behind the front wheels that are a completely new feature.
The GT3 RS is the ultimate naturally aspirated 911 for the street, but according to Car, Porsche aims to take that even farther with the latest model. If these are the looks, then it's working. Unfortunately, the new version's powerplant remains a mystery. Though, given all the changes to the bodywork, the engine is almost surely getting tweaked over the 475-horsepower GT3. The RS is rumored to hit the road and be screaming down the track in 2015.

Porsche celebrates 50 years of 911s with limited edition model

Tue, 04 Jun 2013

Despite being 50 years old now, the Porsche 911 sure is looking good for her age. And to commemorate this milestone anniversary, Porsche has created the 911 50 Years Edition you see here, which will make its debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show - 50 years after the original 911 debuted at this very same expo.
What's really neat about the 50 Years Edition is that it houses a rear-wheel-drive setup inside of the wider body used for all-wheel-drive Carrera 4 and 4S models. Found at the back is the 3.8-liter flat-six from the Carrera S, upgraded with the Powerkit package that increases horsepower from 400 to 430 and includes the Sport Chrono setup. According to Porsche, hitting 60 miles per hour takes just 4.2 seconds with the seven-speed manual transmission, or 3.8 seconds with the optional dual-clutch PDK.
Visual changes include two special paint colors - a darker graphite grey and a lighter geyser grey - unique 20-inch wheels that pay homage to the original Fuchs rollers of the 1963 car, and special badging at the rear and on the door sills. Inside, there are more throwbacks to the original 911, with green labeling on the instruments, white pointer needles and silver accents. What's more, the leather seats feature a fabric insert reminiscent of the Pepita design from the '60s. Looks great to us.
