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.

Wingsuits are somehow involved in new season of 'Top Gear'

Mon, Jan 14 2019

It's a shame that Matt LeBlanc is leaving "Top Gear," but there's a bit of solace in the situation: There's still one more season of him as frontman. BBC just released the new trailer for series 26, and it shows LeBlanc, Chris Harris and Rory Reid getting into all sorts of shenanigans around the globe. "Top Gear" announced LeBlanc's imminent departure back in May 2018, but he still had to finish one more season before leaving. Thus, the upcoming series will be his last, and it looks like he'll go out in a whirlwind of dust, bent metal, water spray and burnt rubber. The trailer shows everything expected from a season of the storied automotive show (well, everything except Hammond, May, and Clarkson, if you're one of those people). There will be precision driving, dubious stunts, name-calling and gobs of stunning videography. In the short one-minute clip, there are flashes of numerous attention-piquing vehicles. The new Bentley Continental GT, a Bentley Le Mans racer, Porsches, Ferraris, the Aston Martin Vantage, and the Mercedes-AMG GT all make appearances. And for some random fun, the boys are seen in wingsuits (doubtful it's actually them), and playing polo in some three-wheel rickshaws (before wrecking said rickshaws). We'll update with more information as soon as we know when the show will start.

Chevy Corvette Z06, Ford F-150 Raptor join Lego Speed Champs

Tue, Oct 20 2015

Get ready to park some performance machines on your desk: Lego's 2016 line of Speed Champions kits will add seven new vehicles for next year, according to an update to the database Brickset. These include some serious muscle like a Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and Ford Mustang GT. There's also a listing called "Chevrolet Camaro Drag Race" and a very cool combo titled "Ford F-150 Raptor Ford/Model A Hot Rod". Fans of European performance don't need to be jealous, though. The database shows a kit called "Porsche 919 Hybrid and 917K Pit-Lane." Plus for fans of the Four Rings, the Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro and R8 LMS Ultra are also getting their own Lego models. Fourtitude appears to have some leaked shots, if you want to see what these kits will look like. Lego has partnered with Porsche, McLaren, and Ferrari and offers Speed Champions kits for vehicles like the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1, Ferrari 458 Italia GT2, and LaFerrari. The models in the series aren't as heavily detailed as the massive Mini Cooper or Volkswagen Bus sets, but they make up for that in value. The individual cars retail for a fairly affordable $14.99. The Formula One playset tops the current range at $99.99, but it comes with a truck, racecar and team figures.

2017 Porsche Panamera spotted barely disguised

Thu, Oct 29 2015

Porsche is hard at work bringing the next generation of its Panamera to market. Its arrival will succeed a model that's been for sale now for over six years now (since 2009), having undergone a mid-cycle facelift as recently as 2013. What we have here in front of us could be our best look yet at the upcoming replacement model. Spied while testing in its native Germany, this barely disguised prototype looks just about ready to reach showrooms. Only a few select parts – namely around the lights (front and rear) and the rear side windows Â– appear to still be wearing any camouflage at all. So save for those few details, some additional brightwork here and there, and a proper polishing to give it that Porsche shine, expect the 2017 Panamera to look pretty much like the one you see here. It still looks very much like a Porsche, and very much like a Panamera, but thankfully softens the curve of the current model's controversial roofline. Like the outgoing model, the upcoming iteration of Zuffenhausen's four-door coupe/sedan is expected to carry a wide array of powertrain options, including gasoline engines, diesels, turbos, and hybrids. Just which one this particular example is carrying we don't know. But one way or another, buyers can expect improvements in both performance and efficiency once this new model comes around sometime early next year. We won't be surprised, then, to see it find its way onto the stage at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show next March, so watch this space. Related Video:
