1989 Porsche 951 (944 Turbo) in very good condition.  113K miles.  Runs great.  I have owned it for the last 19 years and never raced it.  I'm the 3rd owner, and the car has always been in California 

All original except for the following and regular maintenance items:
1.  Computer chips replaced with AutoThority chips to increase engine power.  This was done prior to my purchasing the car 19 years ago.  I have the original chips and will include them.
2.  Blaupunkt cassette/radio replaced with Blaupunkt CD/radio.  I have the original and will include it.

Major Mechanical Repairs:
1.  The only one I can think of is the clutch, which has been replaced twice.

Collision Damage:

1.  A truck backed into the drivers side while the vehicle was parked which damaged the door and front fender.  Both were repaired and repainted. 

Major Defects:
1.  The drivers seat has a tear and is worn.  This is shown in one of the photographs.
2.  The air conditioner does not work.  However, I believe that it is mechanically fine and needs to have the Freon recharged.  Because this has the original air conditioning system, it uses R12 with has been phased out.  I chose to not recharge it some number of years ago because of the high price and the good weather here in northern California.

Minor Defects:
1.  The speaker in the driver's door stops working every once in a while.  There is an intermittent connection somewhere, but I have not been able to find it.

Included Extras:
1.  Saratoga glass top.  The top works fine but is in need of repainting the aluminum trim, and replacing the weather stripping.  This is shown in the photographs.
2.  Useable mats.  These are shown in one of the photos.
3.  All maintenance records.
4.  Original computer chips and cassette/radio (see above).

Maintenance is up-to-date except for the timing belt, which is now due for replacement.  All maintenance and mechanical repairs have been done by a well regarded independent Porsche shop, CT Automotive.

1989 was the last year that the 944 Turbo was available in the U.S., and the 1989 model was the fastest.  It had many upgrades over the previous years.  These are explained in the photo of a sales brochure.

Porsche tuners 9ff, SpeedArt going bankrupt

Thu, 19 Sep 2013

Times are tough in Europe right now, and that unfortunately has reaped disastrous consequences for some of its smallest niche automakers. Gumpert, Wiesmann, Artega and Lola have all filed for bankruptcy this year, and it appears that tuners are not immune to the tough times, either.
Word coming in from across the pond suggests that 9ff and SpeedArt - two of the biggest names in Porsche tuning - have filed for bankruptcy as well. 9ff is best known for the GT9, a radical hypercar barely based on the 911, while SpeedArt was once of the foremost tuners of Porsches.
Fortunately there are still plenty of tuners ready to take a wrench to your Elfen, but the reported demise of these two makes the market a little bit smaller and - for Porsche enthusiasts - maybe the world a little bit lonelier, too.

1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS takes center stage with Petrolicious

Wed, 04 Jun 2014

Today, one of the most exciting track toys available is the Porsche 911 GT3. Its forbearer, though, was an altogether different beast that was every bit as exciting. Yes, we're talking about the old 911 Carrera RS that blessed the early 1970s. With a mere 1,580 cars built, meant specifically to satisfy the FIA's homologation requirements, the RS is one rare pre-Malaise era cars.
Complete with a 2.7-liter flat-six engine, this RS of Mark Haddawy is one of the earlier examples of the breed (later cars received a larger, 3.0-liter engine). Still, it can scamper to 60 miles per hour in a very respectable 5.6 seconds and will happily hit 150 mph in a straight line. Sporting Porsche's iconic duckbill rear spoiler, the equally iconic Fuchs wheels, as well as slew of options, as Haddawy points out, each of the nearly 1,600 RS models is its own unique iteration on the Porsche performance formula.
Take a look below for the latest video from the crew at Petrolicious.

World Car of the Year finalists announced

Fri, 07 Mar 2014

To say the 2014 Geneva Motor Show was packed full of news is an understatement as big as the show's home at the Palexpo convention center. Despite everything that we were able to cover during this year's show, there's still more coming out of Switzerland, including the announcement of the finalists for the 2014 World Car of the Year Awards.
We reported on the original list of finalists over three weeks ago, and now, that initial list has been pared down to three finalists for each of the five awards. The finalists were announced at a press conference by frequent Autoblog contributor and co-chair of the awards, Matt Davis (above).
The finalists for the overall title of 2014 World Car of the Year are the Audi A3, the BMW 4 Series and the Mazda3. The World Luxury Car of the Year will be either the Bentley Flying Spur, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, while the Performance Car of the Year will be awarded to the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, the Ferrari 458 Speciale or the Porsche 911 GT3 (which, um, yeah...).
