1983 Porsche 944 W/ 53k No Reserve on 2040-cars

I bought this 944 as part of a package of three of them roughly 5 years ago. This one had sustained a hit in the front left fender. All repairs were made prior to my getting it but I was assured it was just sheetmetal replaced and there was no frame damage. But because the car books so low the insurance company totalled it and that is the reason for the salvage title status.

Anyway, I put together all the docs and took it to a PA Inspection Station to get it registered and titled and it failed because of an exhaust leak, a strut cartridge that was weak and the rear window defogger was INOP.

I replaced all three and while at it started to install a new stereo. That was two years and four project cars ago. I am never goping to get around to finishing the stereo install never mind take it back to the DMV and/or ever drive it. I have 32 MV's at present and am liquidating all of them.

During my ownership of this car I let my maint guy drive it for almost a year and he had no probs with it.

It has been sitting were it s for the past two years and as you see in the pics I bought four dollys from Harbour Freight because I lost the keys. I have since had a locksmith come down and cut me new keys.

It runs and drives fine, just need to finish the stereo install and buttom up the dash (1-2 hrs tops) and you will be done.

The car is is good mechanical shape. I would rate paint at between a 6-7  (Front left fender, the one replaced/repaired looks awsome, thus showing the rest of the car's paint fade more. In addition, the clearcoat is bubbling here and there, most notably the hood).
Interior I would rate at a strong 8 with the drivers seat showing seperations at the stitching.

Overall a very decent low milage 944.

As with all my auction, $1 gets the auction started and high bid at end wins regardless of price.

Good Luck and happy bidding

Porsche celebrates 5M Facebook fans with crowdsourced one-off 911

Mon, 05 Aug 2013

Porsche's Facebook fan base appears to be accelerating as quickly as the cars it builds. The German automaker has just unveiled a special 911 Carrera 4S designed with crowdsourced input as a way to thank its five million Facebook fans.
The 911 features special Aquablaumetallic paint from Porsche Exclusive, contrasting 20-inch white Carrera S wheels and pinstriping, along with an aero package including a fixed rear wing. Inside, there are unique backlit sill plates and the obligatory dashboard engraving that says "Personally Built by 5 Million Porsche Fans."
As a way to turn at least one virtual thumbs up into its more meaningful physical-world equivalent, Porsche is holding a contest to win the chance to drive the car at Britain's Silverstone racetrack - and bring a friend - and nine lucky runners-up will win 1:43-scale models of the 911.

Overnight action from the 24 Hours of Le Mans

Sun, 23 Jun 2013

We won't go into a recap here, but there are still leading positions being fought for in all classes - it's so close that leads are changing when a car goes into the pits. We'll let the recap wait until the end of the race, so for now enjoy some shots from last night's action at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Meet Buster, this 1968 Porsche racecar transporter from Mercedes

Thu, Dec 11 2014

If you're thinking about Porsche and Mercedes-Benz when it comes to motorsports, your first thought is probably on the two German brands battling on the track. However, for decades, whenever Porsche's factory team went to compete, a custom Mercedes was right along with them hauling the racecars. These days the truck lives in the Brumos Collection in Jacksonville, FL, and goes by the nickname Buster. However, its story goes back to 1968 when Porsche ordered two commercial vehicles from Mercedes and then handed them over to a Stuttgart-based outfitter for customization. The results were these racing transporters that hauled models like the 917 and 956 until the '80s. The other survived, too, with a place in Porsche's collection. Well-known racers in their own right, Brumos scooped up the transporter in 2003 and have kept driving it to vintage racing events. The interior now boasts the signatures of many of the great drivers from the era of this historic truck. Watch the video for the whole story on the Mercedes with a whole lot of Porsche inside.
