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.

VW close to decision on selling Bugatti to Rimac

Sun, Feb 21 2021

FRANKFURT — Electric hypercar maker Rimac Automobili and Volkswagen's supercar brand Bugatti are a good technological fit, Porsche's CEO told German weekly Automobilwoche, fueling hopes that a deal between the two could happen soon. British automotive magazine Car last year reported that Volkswagen was on the verge of selling Bugatti to Rimac Automobili, citing sources. In exchange, Porsche, also owned by Volkswagen, would raise the 15.5% stake it owns in Rimac, founded by Croatian entrepreneur Mate Rimac, Car said. "At the moment there are intense deliberations on how Bugatti can be developed in the best possible way. Rimac could play a role here because the brands are a good technological fit," Porsche CEO Oliver Blume said. "There are various scenarios with different structures. I believe that the issue will be decided by the group in the first half of the year," said Blume, who also sits on the management board of parent Volkswagen. Rimac has developed an electric supercar platform, which he supplies to other carmakers, including Pininfarina. Blume also confirmed higher savings targets for Porsche, saying the carmaker plans to support results by 10 billion euros ($12.1 billion) of cost cuts by 2025, up from 6 billion previously.

2024 Porsche Panamera; Rivian's surprise; Cadillac electrifies V | Autoblog Podcast #823

Fri, Mar 15 2024

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-ChiefÂ Greg Migliore is joined by Associate Editor Byron Hurd. They start off discussing a couple of vehicles they've both driven — the 2024 Ford Maverick Tremor and the 2024 Volvo C40 Recharge 2WD. From there, they pivot to Byron's first drive of the 2024 Porsche Panamera, and then from there it's on to more electrified luxury in the form of the new Cadillac Lyriq. After that, it's on to news. Rivian made a big splash last week. Not to be upstaged, Cadillac decided to get in on the action by teasing an electric V model, the Opulent Velocity Concept. After that, it's time for a future classic; this week, it's the Dodge Magnum. They end the episode by spending listener Isaiah's money on some used stick-shift transportation.Â Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.

Auto journalist ordered to pay big money for blowing up Porsche 917 engine [UPDATE]

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

Racecars blow engines all the time, but a Porsche 917 isn't just a run-of-the-mill racecar. British automotive writer Mark Hales reportedly borrowed a 917 from 82-year-old former Formula One racer David Piper for a magazine article, and mechanical tragedy ensued. Nobody is arguing that the engine failed after being spun to 8,200 rpm. However, Hales was warned not to exceed 7,000 rpm, says owner Piper, and the affair landed in English courts with Piper seeking £50,000 - over $79,000 US - in reimbursement funds for an engine rebuild and loss of use of the car while it was being repaired. Judge Simon Brown ruled in favor of car owner Piper, putting Hales on the hook for £110,000 ($174,000) including legal fees - a whole lot of money in any language.
Hales says the Porsche suffered a mechanical fault while lapping that allowed it to slip out of gear and over-rev. Piper wasn't convinced, and sought to have the repair paid for by the guy who broke the racer, saying "If you bend it, you mend it." It's not like Hales is a novice driver, having seat time in both professional and amateur races over 30 years, notching about 150 wins, but even the best drivers sometimes miss a shift, and that's what Piper contended happened to his car.
According to reports, Hales has had to sell most of his valuables to pay his lawyers and is now facing bankruptcy with the ruling against him. Members of the Pistonheads website are trying to coordinate a collection to help him out, as well.
