I have had this car for a good 4 years and it breaks my heart to put it up for sale; however, I will be moving soon and will not be able to take it with me. I am the third owner and one look at this car will tell you that it has been well taken care of. In fact, if it did not look well taken care of, I would have not bought it from the previous owner. This care has always been garaged, never been driven in the snow, has not seen rain except when it started raining while I was already on the road (you know how the Ohio weather is). To give you an idea about how well this car is cared for - I have the original instruction tape for the Blaupunkt tape deck that the car came with. 

If you are looking to purchase this car, chances are you are an enthusiast and already know a lot of this vehicle, its history and its performance. A piece of history for sure it is. You can read more about it at the link below or the thousands of articles you will find online.

A little about this car:
  1. 2.5L N.A. 4 In-Line non-turbo
  2. Guards Red Paint
  3. Phone dial wheels
  4. Comes with a mini spare wheel which has never been used.
  5. The tires are Pirellis and they have less than 20K miles on them
  6. Power mostly everything - power sun-roof (removable), power windows, power side mirrors, power drivers seat, power steering
  7. Cruise control
  8. Nifty mileage gauge that tells you what mileage you are getting
  9. Gear change indicator
  10. Original tape deck with original instruction cassette
  11. Comes with original tool kit
  12. Mostly original items other than the usual wear items like, tires, wipers, etc.

While this car is in exceptional shape for its age, it is not perfect. One issue I know is that while the fuel gauge works, it does not move through the whole range of the gas tank. In other words, the needle will point as high as it can when the tank is full but will go only to about half when it is empty. The good news however is that the gas low indicator light does come on in a timely manner and so I am thinking/guessing that its a matter of calibrating the needle. 

The other issue - not really and issue - is that the pad wear indicator light is on. I have the brake pads and just haven't had the chance to do the work myself or take it to the shop. I will be happy to include both the front and rear pads and pad wear indicators when selling the car.

I am attaching the copies of the receipts of the most recently done work to the car. This includes the timing belt, engine pad, water pump. You can look at the rest in the receipts.

Some commonly asked question:
  1. Are there cracks on the dash - No
  2. Is the center console intact - Yes it is. It has the separators for the tape as well.
  3. Do you have the original window sticker - No I do not.
  4. Do you have the original manuals with the dealer stamp in it - Yes I do.
  5. Is the black lining along the rear hatch intact - Yes. I do not see any cracking or peeling
  6. Is the sound and insulation over the engine in good condition - Yes. I see some fraying but this is expected for a car this age
  7. Are there any scratches and dents - There is some pitting in the front but only if you look close. I could not capture them in pictures. There is a slight dime size depression on the roof and above the wheel on the rear driver side. Its hard to capture these using the camera and you have to look closely for them. There is a scratch on the paint above the rear driver side wheel which I think can be filled in.

I will try my best to answer any additional questions you have. I am selling the car as-is and welcome you to see the vehicle in person or have it inspected.

I have two requests - please only bid and ask questions if you are serious. I am more than willing to help you with all your questions but please ask those if you are serious as I am busy with moving. The other request is please do not bid over the reserve and then retract the bid to find the reserve.

China bans military license plates on luxury autos

Wed, 01 May 2013

Driving a vehicle with a military license plate in China provides many privileges. Legally reserved for official vehicles only, the designation apparently allows drivers to enjoy special liberties on the roads, including breaking traffic laws, filling up with free fuel and receiving light-and-siren escorts through congested cities. So attractive are the benefits that there is a secondary market for used legal and counterfeit plates - especially among those wealthy enough to afford luxury cars. But all of that is reportedly coming to an end, as President Xi Jinping, chairman of the Central Military Commission, is on a mission to fight corruption in his country.
A new license plate system goes into effect today, and it is designed to "maintain social harmony, stability and the reputation of the military," says the PLA Daily, the armed forces' official newspaper. While the abuse has been going on for many years, the internet has put the spotlight on the bad behavior, and the negative press does not represent the morals and true colors of the armed forces, say officials.
While military-plated Porsche drivers have been singled out as offenders, Bloomberg notes that all vehicles with engine displacements above 3.0 liters and with a sticker price in excess of about $73,000, will be banned from receiving military plates. This includes vehicles from Audi, Cadillac, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lincoln and the Volkswagen Phaeton. Even if drivers are savvy enough to circumvent the new issuing system, the military has put technology at toll gates to catch users of counterfeit plates. There has been no word on the punishment if caught.

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax

Thu, 24 Jul 2014



The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.

Driving the million-mile Porsche 356

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

Maybe you've seen or heard about the Porsche 356 with almost one-million miles (though it doesn't look like it), but Petrolicious finally has produced a video to show us what it's like to drive the 982,000-mile car. Guy Newmark's beautiful, dark-blue 1964 356C looks great in motion - much better than in photos - and serves to remind us not only what meticulous car care can do for old classics, but that old Porsches were built to last.
So how fastidious is Newmark about maintaining it? He takes the car to his mechanic of 40 years every 3,000 miles for an oil change and to fix anything that needs attention.
Newmark says his 356 "is everything you could want," and that he finds errands to do just to go drive it. We would, too. The next-best thing is to watch the inspiring video below of the well-traveled Porsche.
