1990 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet (convertible) on 2040-cars
Amissville, Virginia, United States
|
A fine example of a classic design. This car has been a project of mine and has had some well sorted upgrades done so far. Black on Black on Black Cabriolet with a well documented service history. Car has 85,000 miles. All belts, rollers, and bearings done in the last 10,000 miles. The paint is not new but is in very good condition. No rust anywhere. New top and toneau cover with new cables installed. The interior is immaculate. Seats were recovered. The dash is perfect. Koni rear coilovers installed. Koni front inserts go with the car. I just haven't installed them yet. Wheels are BSA. 18X8 front and 18X10 rear. Falken tires with less than 5,000 miles. 245/50/18 front and 295/35/18 rear. Everything works. However, the clock in the dash gummed up this month. I have ordered a splitter and am waiting for it to arrive. They are made to order so, I am waiting my turn. Drivetrain is solid and this would do as a daily driver with no worries. I bought it with the intention of installing a LS1 but it is just too nice to not leave original. So, I am going a different direction. If I were to keep it, I would replace the clock, the windshield header is warped. It doesn't interfere with the function of the top or anything else, I'm just picky and would replace it. Also, the tripometer works but will not reset to 000. I would install the splitter and install the front Koni's. Also, I had to roll the rear fender lips to make room for the 295's. The paint cracked and should be redone. The rear fenders have excellent lines for taping off and repainting with out having to paint the whole car. I was quoted $500 to have it done. The A/C has been converted to 134a and works. Electric windows work. Electric seats work. This car will make an excellent DD or a good project to pick up and continue for an enthusiast. I still have the stock wheels with a new set of Cooper tires if you are looking to go original. I can put them back on and adjust the price accordingly. Thanks for looking! $250.00 deposit by paypal due upon winning the auction or if you buy it now. Remaining funds do at pick up. |

Preparing for Le Mans 2014 Porsche remembers 1971 and the 917 [w/video]
Sun, 07 Apr 2013Porsche has given us another look back at its successes at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This time it's 1971, the year that its 917 set records that haven't all been eclipsed. It's 45-kilogram magnesium tube frame was the lightest, Jackie Oliver set the fastest in-race lap with a time that still stands, and winning drivers Helmut Marko - the same Helmut Marko currently with Infiniti Red Bull Racing - and Gilles Lethem did so many laps that their distance wasn't exceeded until the Audi R15 TDI did it in 2010.
1971 was also the year of the "Pink Pig." With bodywork created by a French aerodynamics firm, the wider, rounder 917 earned the porcine moniker so Porsche painted it pink and labeled it with the cuts you'd get from a pig. Sponsor Martini was so miffed they demanded all Martini branding be removed. No one can remove the thousands of photographs taken of the car ever since. Enjoy that and more in the video below.
24 Hours of Le Mans an on-and-off love affair
Mon, 24 Jun 2013There was little usual about this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans - intermittent rain in the weeks before the race meant cars didn't get on track as much as they wanted, and intermittent rain during the race meant cars went off track a lot more than they wanted. The race started with a wet track, and one of the records broken because of the random downpours was the number of times the safety car led the field - 11 times this year - although the record of two hours and 53 minutes of lapping behind the safety car, set in 2011, was not eclipsed.
None of that served to dampen the action. With little more than an hour left in the race there were cars still only a few seconds apart fighting for position, leads still changing because of pit stops and everyone drafting anyone they could.
Things didn't go the usual way up front, either - well, not exactly...
Porsche tops J.D. Power quality index as Korean brands soar
Thu, Jun 18 2015While complaints about infotainment systems remain a thorn in the side of automakers for J.D. Power's annual Initial Quality Study, there's a lot to celebrate this year. The average number of problems reported per 100 vehicles fell to 112 in 2015 – a three-percent improvement compared to 116 in 2014. The results of this year's survey are based on the responses of over 84,000 people about problems within the first 90 days of buying or leasing a 2015 model-year vehicle. For the third consecutive year, Porsche tops the rankings with an average of 80 problems per 100 vehicles. Although, that's slightly more than the 74 the German sportscar maker scored in 2014. "While the Japanese automakers continue to make improvements, we're seeing other brands, most notably Korean makes, really accelerating the rate of improvement," Renee Stephens, vice president of US automotive quality at J.D. Power, said in the study's release. In fact, Kia ranks as one of the biggest movers in this year's list. The Korean brand jumped to second place from seventh last year. The company had an average of 86 problems per 100 vehicles, a 20-point improvement. Third place went to Jaguar with an average of 93 problems reported, versus last year's second-place finish with 87 of them. Fourth place was Hyundai, and fifth-place Infiniti also earned a gold star for improvement with 97 issues per 100 vehicles – 31-points better than last year. Fiat still anchored the bottom of the list. However, its 161 problems this year is a lot better than the 206 in 2014. Ranked by nationality, Korean brands (Hyundai and Kia) are now leading the industry in initial quality with an average of 90 problems reported per 100 vehicles. According to J.D. Power, this is the first time Europe's figure beat Japan with 113 and 114 issues, respectively. The American brands also averaged 114. Whereas General Motors dominated last year, the segment awards are spread out in 2015. GM, Hyundai, Nissan, and Volkswagen Group are all tied with four models each earning prizes.
