1988 Porsche 944 on 2040-cars

Year:1988 Mileage:177218

Clinton, South Carolina, United States

944 5-speed sunroof car has been sitting in my garage for years. My intent to make a track car out of it since the body and structure was so nice, rust free and appears that the car has the original paint on all the panels too, no signs of damage or ever being wrecked from my inspections. So, I have come to the realization it's time to make space and move it along. 

The car does not currently run. Before listing it, I hooked a battery and jumper cables to the leads, and it will start and run for a short period of time off of starting fluid being sprayed in the throttle body. I suspect the injectors are stuck from sitting or fuel pump not working is my guess. I have not had the car professionally looked at and is just the way I bought it. Most everything electrical seems to work, lights go up and down, windows work, power seat adj work, fan blows, dash lights come on, etc. wipers do not work and windshield is cracked. Brake pedal is solid, bakes work as well as emergency brake, clutch master leaks fluid somewhere around the master or line, not sure but it won't hold fluid for any length of time, I have not tried to bleed clutch either. Gears shift and will engage motor/drivetrain in all gears but that is the extent of my testing. SC DOT bill of sale only, no title. Car is for sale locally in South Carolina so auction is subject to end at any time. Pickup or shipping is at the buyers responsibility, delivery locally or in the upstate of SC may be possible for a fee. Feel to call with any questions, Doug   864 923-1302

2014 Porsche Cayenne Platinum Edition is the ace of base

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

If there's one automaker that certainly doesn't skimp on the special edition models, it's Porsche, and here at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, we're getting our first look at yet another unique take on one of the company's most popular models. It's called the Cayenne Platinum Edition, and while many special models build off of higher-trim vehicles, this one adds a bit of flair to the most basic version of the luxury SUV.
The Platinum Edition is available on Cayennes with the base 3.6-liter V6 or the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6. Platinum models are set apart from other models with the addition of silver exterior accents on the grilles, window trim and rear spoiler, as well as the two-tone, black-and-beige interior scheme. It also comes standard with the eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission, Power Steering Plus, Park Assist, the Convenience Package and Bose audio.
The cost of entry? $63,000 for the naturally aspirated Cayenne or $66,900 for the diesel. That's a full $13,000 more than the base model, but Porsche says it's actually a bargain as opposed to selecting all of those options individually. Have a look below for Porsche's official release.

Jay Leno chats with Magnus Walker about his 1972 Porsche 911 72STR

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

Magnus Walker has stopped by the Big Dog Garage again to pay Jay Leno a visit in the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage. This time, the Porsche builder brought along his 1972 911 72STR 002. Walker calls the machine his best build to date, and the car is a rolling "best of" from Porsches past, rocking some of the more attractive elements pulled from a wide arc of 911 model years. Of course, the machine also wears a few signature Walker touches, including flush-mount turning indicators, a center-hood fuel filler and plenty of louver work.
Unlike some of Walker's other creations, the 72STR 002 is clean enough to lick. Leno seems suitably impressed with the creation, and while apparently isn't typically a fan of Porsche models in general, Walker's tastefully modified 911 has him singing a different tune. You can check out the car in the video below.

Porsche kicks off Macan production at revamped Leipzig plant

Sun, 16 Feb 2014

After over two years of construction and roughly 500 million euros ($684 million at current rates) invested, Porsche finally opened its Leipzig, Germany, factory expansion on February 11. The improvements to the plant are dedicated to building the Macan and include a new body shop, paint shop and assembly line that are advancing Porsche's goal to sell 50,000 Macan's per year. The company believes that the new model is going to push it to over 200,000 annual sales 3 years ahead of schedule, and the enlarged branch can support even more Macan production, if there is demand.
"We are totally convinced in the qualities of this location and that the Macan will be a marketing success," said Porsche Chairman Matthias Müller during the opening celebration. The company opened its Leipzig factory in 2002 to build the Cayenne and added Panamera production in 2009.
The Macan models are due to launch in the US this summer with prices starting at $49,900. Scroll down to learn all of the details about the Macan's Leipzig assembly plant.
