1986 Porsche 944
Rothmans Challenge Factory Cup Model ·
This is
1 of 31 factory Cup models specifically built for the 1986 Rothmans Challenge
– the first year of the Cup series
(first with 944s in the 80s then with 911s in the 90s) ·
The
Rothmans Challenge’s competitors include top Canadian drivers such as Kees
Nierop, Scott Goodyear, Ludwig Heimrath, Paul Tracy ·
Major
sponsors were Rothmans, Shell, Pirelli, Sunice ·
I
legally shipped it from Canada in 2009 as a body with engine, tranny partially
installed. The suspension was also
partially done as a roller. The car came
with spares and other mechanical bits ·
Restoration/build
was finished in 2010 by Fordahl Motorsports.
I have a three ring binder showing receipts and photos during the build o
The
headers are the rare Cup only spec that were used for the Rothmans series o
The
door panels are also original o
The
roll cage is the original with modified side impact protection for safety purposes o
In
other words, we took the effort to keep the car as original (Rothmans Challenge
Series) as possible ·
I have
the certificate of authenticity from Porsche (showing that it's a Cup model) as
well as VIN and DOT/EPA documentation from Porsche North America. I was
able to legally register this car for the street. It even passed smog in
WA. This is one of most recent street-registered historic race cars - something
typically reserved for pre-68 cars ·
Most
importantly, I have the CASC logbook and number plate tying its history in the
Canadian Rothmans Challenge with Matthewson (1986) and Walter Surma (1987).
It also raced in a few Firehawk Endurance races in 1988. There are
a few Rothmans cars out there, but without logbooks to verify its history.
I also have period photos during 86 Rothmans series ·
Since
restoration, it has been only raced one weekend per year including Portland
Rose Cup, SCCA vintage/ITS and Rennsport Reunion IV ·
Speaking
of RR IV, this is the only 944 historic race car accepted at the most recent
Rennsport Reunion in Laguna Seca. Great event to experience with all the
historic cars ·
A newly
rebuilt ITS-spec engine has recently been installed and is going through its
break-in period. No race or track miles
on the new engine. Engine was built by
Fordahl Motorsports. ·
The tranny
was newly built just prior to Rennsport Reunion IV. Spare tranny is also
rebuilt ·
Spare
parts: various wheels (including 7 Simmons wheels which is proper period spec
for the series, set of 7x16” Fuchs, set of 15” cookie cutter magnesium wheels
with one race-old Hoosier R6s), original transmission (freshly rebuilt) and
engine block, door, and various misc. pieces ·
The
wheels on the car as ran at RR are Simmons V5 wheels with 16” Hoosier R6s ·
The car
is currently in the Seattle area ·
Although
I have and still immensely enjoy this car after owning it for close to 6 years;
I recently purchased another race car in my bucket list. Hence, I’m selling the Rothmans. |

Singer 911 gorgeousness explored and experienced by Chris Harris
Thu, 17 Jan 2013Few things get us as cranked up as a Porsche 911. Generation after generation, this rear-engined oddity has exhilarated our senses, and the new 991 is the most capable iteration yet. Even so, there's a lot to be said for the older models, from their lighter weights and more modest dimensions to their air-cooled thrums.
That elemental vintage Porsche appeal hasn't been lost on Los Angeles-based Singer Vehicle Design, which has endeavored to take the best bits from every generation of 911 and combine them into one impossibly sexy rear-engined machine. Based on a 964 donor car, we knew that a lot of work would need to go into everything from the structure to the bodywork to realize the Singer's cohesive aesthetic and dynamic vision, but we didn't know just how much until we watched this Drive video featuring Chris Harris. The auto journo gets time with the 350-horsepower, Cosworth-motivated coupe on both mountain passes and at the track, but what could be the most interesting thing about the 27-minute-long video is his in-depth plant tour.
Check it out by scrolling below, but not before paging through our new Singer 911 gallery.
Porsche continues facelift spree with 911 Turbo
Fri, 24 Jan 2014If there's ever been automotive case for constant evolution, it is the Porsche 911. It seems like every time a new version of the rear-engined sports car debuts, Porsche is already hard at work on a facelifted version of it that changes some subtle, barely noticeable aspect.
Such is the case with this round of images of a facelifted 911 Turbo, which was seen undergoing winter testing alongside the facelifted, hardtop-version of the 911 Cabriolet we showed you yesterday. The new, 991-based 911 Turbo was just unveiled in May of 2013.
Like the Cabrio from yesterday, both the Turbo and naturally aspirated models shown here feature additional slats at the rear of the car, right behind the rear wheels. These slats on the standard model lend credence to what we learned yesterday - that even the regular 911 models could end up getting turbocharged mills.
Dan Neil pokes fun at the celeb cars of 2014
Sun, Dec 28 2014Look, we try really hard not to pay any attention to the Kardashians and their vapid reality TV empire. But, as troubling as that brood may be, occasionally we're impressed and/or horrified by their four-wheeled conveyances. In fact, that curiosity extends beyond talentless reality stars with rotund glutes to celebs in general. That's why we're enjoying Dan Neil's sometimes biting take on the celebrity cars of 2014. Besides paying tribute to Kim K, husband Kanye West and the adorable Lamborghini that their spawn rides about in, Neil also takes a look at LeBron James' turn as a Kia spokesman and boxer Floyd Mayweather's trio of Bugatti Veyrons. Matthew McConaughey is a focus of Neil's as well, thanks to his oft-panned advertisements for Lincoln (and the raucous parodies they inspired), before finishing on the high, with Jerry Seinfeld and his new Porsche 918 Spyder. Take a look at Neil's recap of the celebrity cars of 2014. News Source: The Wall Street Journal Celebrities Humor Bugatti Kia Lamborghini Lincoln Porsche Videos porsche 918 spyder celebrity dan neil
