Almost all of the interior is there but it's mostly taken apart. Starts up with a jump and drives. Will be a great project car, race car project, or just a parts car. No major rust or decomposition . It's generally not deteriorated but is cosmetically very rough such as the rims are peeling the paint, some scratches all over, driver window broken, etc."

1987 Porsche 944s.  This is a whole running car that is in overall rough condition.  Took this car as payment for a debt owed and just wanna sell it as I have no time or interest in Porsche.  The interior is inside but is half taken apart.  Driver side window is stuck down.  Emblems are rough.  Wheels need to be blasted and repainted or powder coated.  Tires actually have lots of tread, but are old.  Car will start right up and drive around the lot, but its in overall pretty rough shape and is dirty.  We don't have a lot of its history because we just took it in recently.  It will make a great project car to either go thru it and make it a street car and turn it into a track car.  The body is actually in real good shape with no signs or rust holes and or anything bad like that.  Part of the rear emblem is missing.  The rims are an aftermarket Italian company that it's the air valve I. The center of the rim instead on on the outer rim.  It sure if that is a design for looks, or if it has some sort of engineering or racing value.  We have some documents found in the car such as a camp,eye top end over haul after a icing belt went at 108k miles back in 2003.  Head was refurb'd, timing belt done, etc.....a $3,600 job.  Another receipt shows a service that included a synthetic oil change.  These slips give us hope that the car was actually well maintained hopefully thru most of its life, until ow where t is just sitting around and needs to be freshened up or used to make a race car,or it could just be a complete parts car.  Clean clear CT title and bill of sale. Winning bidder has 7 days from the end of the auction to render full payment via money order, cashier check, wire transfer, cash in person, or via PayPal.  Email me if you have any questions or would like pics of anything particular.  No reserve auction.  Highest bid gets it.

Autocar pits Porsche 911 Turbo S against Formula 4 racer

Fri, 20 Jun 2014

There is a long-running argument among performance car fans: power vs. weight. In one corner you get cars generally with small engines making modest numbers but able to corner like they are telepathic, and in the other there are big thumping mills that are rocketships in a straight line but lumber in the turns. Autocar takes an interesting look this continuum in a recent video pitting a 552-hp Porsche 911 Turbo S against a 185-hp Formula 4 racecar. It hopes to find whether the Porsche's huge power advantage is enough to defeat the better grip and aero offered by the nimble racer.
There's no doubt that the Porsche is an utterly fantastic road car. The 911 Turbo looks mean with all of those intakes to suck in cool air, and it backs up the posture with huge amounts of grip available thanks to its all-wheel drive-system. However, at 3,538 pounds, it's a bit of a porker compared to the 1,135-pound Formula 4 car. The open-wheel car boasts just a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder from Ford and a six-speed sequential-manual gearbox, but it has loads of downforce to make up for it.
It shouldn't be a surprise that the formula car wins in the corners. After all, that's what it's made for. So do you think the massive horsepower superiority of the Porsche is enough to even the playing field? Scroll down to watch the video and find out, and even if you're not curious of the winner the 911 does some mean powerslides.

All Porsche 911s to get turbos in 2015?

Sun, 19 Oct 2014

Currently, Porsche builds two turbocharged 911s - the Turbo and the Turbo S (and their cabriolet counterparts). The rest of the 911 range, meanwhile, is motivated by either 3.4- or 3.8-liter flat-sixes of varying outputs. This clear separation could be set to change in the very near future, though, as rumors continue to swirl that Porsche's rear-engined range could switch exclusively to turbocharged power.
This time, it's Car projecting that the 911 range will go turbocharged as part of a mid-cycle refresh, with the base Carrera's 3.4-liter dropping to 2.9 liters and adding an iron lung, bumping the entry level 911 up to 400 horsepower. Yes, a 400-horsepower, entry level 911. The Carrera S, meanwhile, will retain its 3.8-liter engine, but will also benefit from turbocharging, increasing output to 530 horsepower and 520 pound-feet of torque. So basically, it sounds like the current, 520-hp 911 Turbo will become the next Carrera S.
What does that mean for Porsche's traditional high-performance models? Well, it's a safe bet that the Turbo, Turbo S and eventual GT2 will be producing seriously huge power figures. Based on pure speculation, we wouldn't be shocked to see a 600-hp Turbo, with the S and GT2 increasing output markedly from there.

Roger Rodas' widow suing Porsche over Carrera GT crash

Tue, 13 May 2014


Investigations undertaken by local law enforcement may have vindicated Porsche from any wrongdoing in the crash that killed actor Paul Walker and racing driver Roger Rodas last year, but the latter's widow is apparently not convinced. According to emerging reports, Kristine Rodas has filed a lawsuit seeking unspecified damages from Porsche Cars North America.
In her suit filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court, Rodas' attorney Mark Geragos reportedly disputes the findings of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, which asserted that the vehicle was traveling at an unsafe speed of 90 miles per hour on city streets, identifying the speed as the cause of the accident. Instead the lawsuit claims that the vehicle was only going 55 mph and that the cause of the crash was improper equipment - namely a faulty right rear suspension and the lack of a crash cage and proper fuel tank.
