1987 Porsche 944 with 54,300 original miles, 5 speed manual, classic sunroof coupe. White on burgundy leather with phone dial wheels, power everything. We bought it with 10,650 miles on it in 1992 and have owned it ever since. This car has been driven sparingly during the summer months and has been always maintained, always garaged, always babied, never raced, never seen snow or salt even though it spent its entire live in New England. Serviced at the same Porsche specialist shop last 15 yrs. Car was fully optioned when new and is completely original down to the Blaupunkt radio/cassette player, except for the following:

Burgundy pinstriping was applied when new – real paint, not stick-on.
Yokohama tires have less than 5K miles on them.
Ungo alarm was installed originally.
MacNeil rear hatch tray (original carpeting is excellent underneath)

See the many photos for details. The car is very clean, but the following wear and tear is noted:

Typical front end nicks for its mileage, always touched up
Pinstriping on front end is worn, see photos
Steering wheel stitching starting to unravel in high wear spot and could use restitching there
One small ding on windshield (that we’ve lived with for many miles)
Intermittent wiper function doesn’t work, probably a relay
One very slight parking lot dent on left front fender, only visible at glancing angle in the right light, less than 2” long (tried to capture it in photos)
Car had door edge guards mounted when new. Those have been removed and stainless steel screws put in the mounting holes

The car runs and drives fabulously with all the handling that 944’s are known for. Since last season, a slight vibration in left front tire at about 70 mph suggests that tire might need rebalancing. Payment by bank check only. Shipping is at buyer's expense and risk. Please see the many photos and ASK ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING!

Will Roegge makes 4K art of Jeff Zwart's 911 build and run up Pikes Peak

Sun, 17 Aug 2014

Will Roegge has turned his camera on Jeff Zwart and provided another gem, this time documenting Zwart's run up Pikes Peak and BBI Autosport. Bertim Besha dropped out of high school, then worked his way up to founding his own shop, BBI, that gathers a crew of tuners who are just as fastidious about their work as the customers are about their cars.
They prepped the 991-series Porsche 911 GT3 Cup Turbo, the product of combining a 911 GT2 that was the most powerful car Zwart drove up the mountain with a GT3 Cup that Zwart thought had the best handling. Two TiAL turbos and a lot of fettling make for a 3.8-liter flat-six with 700 horsepower, 700 pound-feet of torque and a 7,800-rpm redline. Zwart drove it to a heartbreaking second place this year, finishing less than 1.2 seconds behind the Time Attack 1 class winner when his car suffered its first mechanical issue of the week.
The first video below covers Besha, BBI and the build, the second is Zwart's run. As if the visuals weren't enough, sit back and enjoy the shrieking of the "Hill Climb Special," which is what the constellation Sirius would sound like if it could bark.

Corvette gets slidey with Britain's best performance cars

Sat, 18 Oct 2014

Autocar wants to find Britain's best driver's car, and it's challenging a murderers' row of some of the world's best performance vehicles to find out, including the latest Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. All of them were therefore assembled at the Castle Combe Circuit to find a winner.
If it wants to take the crown from this pack of mostly European competitors, the 'Vette has to beat some steep competition. Its challengers include monsters like the Ferrari 458 Speciale, Ariel Atom 3.5R and Jaguar F-Type Coupe. As a further hurdle for the winner to clear, Autocar also has last year's champ among the fighters - the Porsche 911 GT3.
Even if you're not at all interested in the C7, there's still something here for practically any fan of fast cars. The competitors include relative oddities among the pack like the Renault Mégane RS Trophy and Alfa Romeo 4C. Plus, Autocar has some well-positioned microphones that let you hear the Atom wailing like a banshee and the roar of the 458 Speciale. Check out the video to see which one of these all-stars takes home the award this year.

Malaise Era All-Stars

Fri, 17 May 2013

A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:
