Up for auction is this beautiful 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo with 5-Speed 2.5L 16 valve engine with 84,920 original miles and high gloss Pearl While paint with tan and black interior.

I purchased the vehicle from the original owner in October 2011, whom cared for it for the previous 24 years and 79,900 miles. The previous owner had performed extensive maintenance on the vehicle and it has had the following work completed: July 2008 (68,000 miles) the entire engine was removed and rebuilt with new crankshaft, timing belt, connecting rods and rod bearing set, piston ring set, fuel injectors and all injector seals/o-rings, clutch assembly (clutch and slave cylinder), frequency valve, turbo cutoff valve, water pump and hoses, and clamps, all belts, control arm bushing, engine mount, tension roller, tension gear, engine gasket set, exhaust manifold gasket, exhaust seal ring, hatch switch, shift level, heater control valve and receiver/dryer distributor cap, ignition rotor and ignition dust cover. (See receipts for $7,113.82 for all details).

The car was repainted in 2010 in a high gloss Pearl White and had a graphic “turbo” script design applied to the right front fender (see photos) and a new Alpine stereo receiver/CD player with iPod/USB connector installed.

The previous owner reported to following two incidents/issues:

1) 10/07/2010 - Rear hatch windshield was broken and insurance company replaced the glass with no other damage to car.

2) 04/24/2011 - Construction on main road was being done and the city didn't properly cove the hole and the vehicle left front wheel hit the hole resulting in a broken control arm. Both control arms have been replaced and alignment performed. (See receipts for $891.17 and $1,082.52 respectively).

As the second owner of the vehicle, the vehicle has been garage kept and I have had the throttle body replaced, new belts, radiator hoses, front sway bar bushings, new rear deck carpeting, and new Dunlop Direzza tires (205/55R16 front and 225/50R16 rear) installed with new color Porsche emblem center wheel caps. The maintenance and new tire installation were performed at 84,871 miles, and the tires have less than 50 miles on them, not a typo, they are new with under 50 miles on them. The car runs and drives great and is a real attention getter. The driver’s seat shows signs of wear and has some small cuts (see pictures) and there is a small paint chip on the left rear quarter panel behind the left rear tire (see pictures). The vehicle has a Viper anti-theft alarm system and has key fob activated lock, unlock and disarm features and if attempts are made to shake and/or enter vehicle when activated, the starter is deactivated and can be reset with a button on the key fob. The car also has the SEKURIT vehicle glass etching which includes the VIN number being etched on the glass (see pictures) and the vehicle also comes with a grey microfiber cloth car cover and four OC142 Mahle oil filters. The car is offered as is with no warranty.

A $1000 deposit on PayPal is required within 48 hours of successful/winning bid and the balance via cash, certified funds/money order within seven days or vehicle pickup, whichever first occurs. Car and title transfer will not occur unless full payment is received.

Vehicle is offered for local pickup and the buyer is responsible for any shipping (if required). Seller reserves the right to cancel the auction at any time due to local sale of the vehicle as it is also being advertised in the Upstate New York area concurrently with this eBay auction.

Very reasonable reserve price. Please send any questions via eBay message to seller option and I will attempt to answer as quickly as possible.

Good luck and happy bidding!

Porsche to develop new line of engines for next Panamera

Sat, 22 Mar 2014

When the second generation of the four-door Porsche Panamera launches, it will likely be riding a new platform, complete with an all-new family of V6 and V8 engines, according to a report coming out of the UK.
Autocar reports that the so-called MSB platform will likely underpin the Panamera, and it could be shared with Bentley, provided the Volkswagen-owned, British-built brand commits to the architecture. As for the engines, it's reported that they'll have a sportier character than the V6s and V8s being built for Volkswagen and Audi's vehicles.
"Porsche will have its own new V8 that will be common to the new MSB platform," Porsche's chief engineer, Wolfgang Hatz, said. "It's a family for the next 10 years of cars." Whether the V8 and V6 will be used outside of the Panamera line, though, remains unclear. There's also no mention of what place turbocharging would have with the new engines.

This is why we love the Porsche 911 reimagined by Singer

Tue, 11 Nov 2014

In the world of restomods, Singer Vehicle Designs is inarguably one of our absolute favorites. The company, founded by rocker Rob Dickinson, has made its name as an obsessive constructor of vintage, built-to-order Porsche 911s with modern internals and beautiful accouterments.
Xcar has put together a lengthy interview with Dickinson, covering the source of his fascination with the 911 and his passion for automotive design, before falling into his rock-and-roll days with his band Catherine Wheel. He also covers how he got into the world of modifying Porsches, rather than just restoring them. There's much, much more in the video, though, and we promise, you won't want to miss it.
Take a look.

eGarage video features Helmuth Bott's personal Porsche 959 prototype

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

"We thought we were going to build a super-911," said Peter Schutz, former CEO of Porsche AG of the development of the Porsche 959. That was before it started getting expensive. At that point, Helmuth Bott, Porsche R&D director got frightened. Costs ballooned because of the all-wheel drive, sequential turbocharging and other technology Porsche had never even thought about when it set out to build a 911 to compete in Group B. Schutz continued, "The amount of resources we were committing got totally out of hand." Instead of pulling the plug, Bott doubled down and drew on the strength of his brilliant team to build a car whose impact is still echoing aross the industry.
"It's probably one of our most prized possessions" says Don Leatherwood, Director of the Brumos collection where Dr. Bott's personal prototype resides, and where Frazer Spowart went to see the car and create a video for eGarage. Check out the sights and sounds of the 959 before it was the 959, and get personal takes on the car from Hurley Haywood, Peter Schutz and Don Leatherwood. Keep reading to see the video.
