Looks good, runs great -- I just got back from driving it. Starts right up, idles smoothly, and no smoke. No leaks -- clean, dry garage floor under it after sitting for a few weeks. TX state inspection in November and TX tags are good through August.
Opening bid is less than 1/4 of what I have in this car. NO RESERVE -- I will sell to highest bidder.
I bought this March of last year because I always wanted one and this one a) was in Texas, not too far from me; b) had a bunch of work & restoration done to it; and c) seemed like fun to work on and drive w/ my teenage son.
We subsequently did, and have had done, more work, while driving it very little. Odometer had 143,831 when I bought it, and quit working right after I got it home. It now shows just under 145,000 but I probably put it up to right at 146,000.
I was going to sell this before the holidays, but my brother drove it and parked it in his driveway and his wife backed her mini-van into the passenger-side front fender and scraped the door -- see the pics. I've been wrestling w/ whether to keep this and further restore it or just sell it -- unfortunately high school varsity baseball uses up a lot of nights and weekends so we decided to let someone else take it from here.
I always wanted one of these. Had fun working on it with my son and driving it, but ready for something else. You could say I scratched that particular itch.
The guy I bought it from was the 2nd owner. He bought it in 2007 and had it shipped from CA to TX.
Adult, non-smoker, non-racer owned (both the previous owner and me). Well maintained and garaged (previous and owner and me).
I am also offering this locally for sale and reserve the right to end the auction if I sell it locally.
Features:
- 5-speed manual
- headers and custom, stainless exhaust
- power driver's seat
- power windows & locks (w/ keyless remotes)
- A/C upgraded to R132 by previous owner. I subsequently put on a new condenser last summer -- blows cold
tinted windows
- 16x7 and 16x8 deep-dish porsche "phone dial" rims w/ zero road rash -- VERY nice!
- performance tires w/ plenty of tread
- Alpine CDR-9857 head-unit, ipod ready, w/ Kenwood power amp and Pioneer sub-woofer -- it CRANKS!
I have a ton of maintenance records, as well as a repair and owners manual (latter, printed out on a laser printer, not the original)
Interior is particularly nice for a 27+ year old car -- seats are excellent and headliner is very good. Carpet is decent, but also has new front floor mats.
Key Notes:
clear title, ready to go
car runs great. starts right up, idles smooth. no smoke.
painted in 2006 and garaged since
see the pics for the good, as well as the damaged fender and scraped door. still drives great!

Known minor mechanical issues:
1. Rear hatch does not release/unlock w/ interior release switch -- you must unlock w/ key. Struts were unattached when I purchased the car but I subsequently re-attached and the hatch will stay ope on its own
2. Side mirrors, motors do not work. Glass is flat, aftermarket replacement, as shown in pics.
3. Rear wiper motor does not work. I was going to just remove the whole thing and install a "delete plug" where the arm is mounted. Never got around to it.
4. Odometer quit working at mileage shown in pics (144,794), but there shouldn't be more than 146,000 total
5. Sometimes you have to tap on the Tach to get it to work, but it does work
Other:
1. repainted in 2006. Looks to me like the original color was black. Check out the pics.
2. seller I purchased it from claimed no accidents (according to CarFax) but the driver's door was clearly previously RED, before it was painted along w/ the rest of the car.
3. dented front, passenger-side fender and scraped passenger door (doesn't look to me to be dented).
I have a leather bra and matching mirror covers that came with it (used) that I will include. I also have a new brand-new, lined car-cover that has never been on the car that I will also include.
Feel free to contact me through ebay with questions, or call me at 713-429-1516, but note that I DO NOT answer calls that don't show caller-ID. I also have more pics if you want to see something in particular.
Happy to work w/ YOUR shipper if you buy it. But I'm not interested in arranging shipping.

Porsche reveals new LMP1 racecar testing ahead of 2014 Le Mans debut
Wed, 12 Jun 2013Getting ready for its triumphant return to the premier racing class of Le Mans, Porsche has released a handful of images showing its new LMP1 racecar testing. Porsche hasn't run a car in the Prototype class at 24 Hours of Le Mans since 2009, but this racecar - still veiled in secrecy - will be expected to battle against the Audi and Toyota LMP1 Prototypes to help bring Porsche its 17th Le Mans victory.
Aside from knowing that it will use a hybrid powertrain to meet LMP1 rules, there are no other details about the car... including its name or potential sponsors. In the meantime, Porsche has set up a microsite, called Mission 2014, to share its extensive history racing at Le Mans. Also, be sure to check out some of the past videos Porsche has released as it gears up for its reborn LMP1 program.
Porsche 918 Spyder pre-production version in all its almost-done glory
Sun, 18 Aug 2013Porsche continues the long tease of its upcoming 918 Spyder, with the latest instantiation here at the Pebble Beach Concours, with the car presented in pre-production form to the throngs on the golf course.
Just a few days ago Porsche dropped an image of the car on its official Twitter feed. True to that leak, this 918 looks damn near what we expect the full customer version to be when it is officially debuted in Frankfurt. The neon-green brake calipers are items new to this version of the 918, and seem to be an identical color to those found on the Panamera S E-Hybrid.
When it shows up as a drivable piece, expect the Porsche supercar, with its gasoline-electric drivetrain, to be pretty insane. Horsepower in excess of 800 ponies will be available with a toe-tap, while the price of entry is expected to come within shouting distance of $850,000. A good deal for Porsche to bring the thing to Pebble then, where buyers with that kind of cash are think on the ground (and most likely wearing sherbet-colored trousers).
Infiniti cribs new US boss from Porsche
Mon, 19 Aug 2013Just weeks before he was supposed to become CEO of Porsche Cars Australia, Infiniti has apparently offered Porsche COO and Executive Vice President Michael Bartsch a deal he couldn't refuse. Thus, Bartsch has join the company as Vice President of Infiniti Americas, the luxury marque's top North American post. Bartsch replaces Ben Poore, who has been with the automaker since 2008, having led both a 22-percent sales surge in 2012 and the brand's current sales slough, Automotive News reports.
Bartsch, Porsche's No. 2 US executive, has held the COO and Executive Vice President positions at Porsche since 2005 and was scheduled to become CEO of Porsche's Oz division on September 1. Infiniti has experienced a number of recent personnel changes in the past week: it named Vincent Gillet, formerly an executive for Starwood Hotels & Resorts, to lead its marketing efforts worldwide and Simon Cox, a former designer for automakers including Ford and Peugeot, to head a new design studio in London.
Poore reportedly will pursue other interests outside of the auto industry. Read more about the personnel change in the press release below.
