 Mechanically good 1992 Cabriolet.  Original top and paint.  Original convertible cover also in good condition.

This car is still one of the best handling cars on the road today.  It is a lot of fun to drive and gets lots of smiles and comments from others on the road.  Used mostly as a weekend car now, but has seen periods of use as a very reliable everyday vehicle.  One of approximately 700 cabriolets delivered in 1992 to the North American market. 

This car is a well kept and has been garaged most of it's last 10 years.  Previous history mostly unknown, but some records came with the car when I purchased it in 2005.  Major service records from 2005 and on.  PCA member from 2005 thru 2013.  Carfax indicates that I am likely the fifth owner of this vehicle.

Lots of parts have been updated / replaced / repaired.  Major service performed a couple of thousand miles ago included timing belt / balance shaft service, replacement of the steering rack, and front suspension bushings.  This car runs and drives better than when I purchased it.

Some normal wear and tear to the paint and interior, especially considering that this vehicle is nearly 25 years old.  Slight cracking of the leather on the upper exposed portion of the doors and minor wear of the driver's seat are the most obvious areas of note (see pictures).  Passenger seat is in good shape.  The rear window plastic is cracked at one location and has a small crease at a second.  The crack has been sealed using reinforced clear duct tape.  I tried to capture these items in the included pictures.  The top does not leak.

There are no dash cracks.  The remote trunk release, the car alarm, and the power door locks all function properly.  Even the clock still works and keeps accurate time.  The tool kit is also complete.  The original mechanic's gloves that were in the storage cubby in the engine compartment are missing.

Air conditioning is functioning but requires normal service and a recharge.  Previous service and recharge was performed in 2010.  System runs, but stopped cooling about a year ago.  Car is currently used only for 'top down' motoring so recharging the a/c has not been a priority.

Tires are in good shape, as is the rest of the car.  I would not hesitate to take this car on a road trip of any sort.

I am currently preparing to move due to a job relocation and will not have room for this vehicle at my new location.  Last time I moved I had to get rid of my 1988 BMW M6.  The Porsche made it through that move but I can't hang on to it this time around....needless to say downsizing and moving are not very high on my list of things I look forward to. 

Car is available for local inspection.  Let me know if there are any additional pictures of features that you would like to see and I will try to get them taken and posted or sent to you.

Shipping is to be arranged by the purchaser or the car can be picked up locally.  Vehicle will be stored in my garage for a short period of time to allow time for delivery arrangements.

Drive-up bank robbery perpetrated with Cayenne and WRX

Sat, 14 Sep 2013

Thieves carried out what appears to be a movie-script-perfect robbery of a bank in Sydney, Australia early on Friday morning, using two stolen high-performance vehicles in the process.
At around 11:15 AM local time, in near mid-day light, reports say that two men in masks smashed into the side of a Westpac bank in a confirmed-stolen black Porsche Cayenne. The perpetrators were armed with sledgehammers according to witness reports, and took only about five minutes to take what they were after inside of the bank.
The rapid getaway was executed in a Subaru WRX, also confirmed as a stolen vehicle, while witnesses snapped camera phone images of the illicit goings on. One Twitter user posted a few of the images to his social media feed; you can take a look at them in our small gallery below. Follow on down for the full video report, from The Sydney Morning Herald.

Porsche CEO Matthias Mueller throws hat back in ring for VW CEO job

Tue, Mar 24 2015

Toward the end of February it got leaked that Porsche CEO Matthias Muller was being promoted to Volkswagen's supervisory board. Muller's credentials and his success over 36 years at the VW Group have, for observers, put his name in the pool of potential candidates to succeed current group CEO Martin Winterkorn when Winterkorn retires in two years. But the 61-year-old Muller told German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung earlier in February, "It's no solution to put a 63-year-old at the head of Volkswagen," and the statement was taken to mean he wasn't considering the job. Muller now says the quote was misunderstood. In a report in Automotive News, the newly minted board member says he was commenting on what it would mean for the supervisory board and the Group if they nominated a 63-year-old to replace a 69-year-old - that it wouldn't result in a "generation change." However, if that's what they choose to do, Muller feels great: "I stand ready to take over any assignment," he said. Muller's name re-enters the candidacy pool, but we still have no idea who leads the running for the role and Winterkorn isn't saying a word. It could be three years before we know: Winterkorn's contract concludes at the end of next year but there is speculation he'll re-up for two years to see out the end of the Strategy 2018 initiative.

Production Porsche 918 Spyder images leak out of Chinese patent office

Wed, 26 Dec 2012

A few images of what looks to be the production Porsche 918 Spyder are here to say hello, courtesy of a patent office in China. If these provide an accurate look at what the hybrid supercar will look like, there are a few differences between it and the latest examples of the pre-production prototypes our spy shooters have seen.
The jerry-rigged turn signals inside the headlight enclosures and on the front fenders on the prototype are replaced with more polished units inside the headlamps located underneath the main beams. Behind that, the door handles have been swapped from horizontal latches on the door to vertical openings located just behind the door shutline.
We've also seen a Martini-liveried version of the 918 Spyder that has extra carbon elements that don't appear on this car. It was at the Nürburgring with carbon lips on the front fenders and another carbon element that hung from the rear fenders and ran down to the rear diffuser. When we saw the car on our Deep Dive piece, the front lips were gone but that rear piece remained, and we can't tell from the brochure and options sheet that we've seen so far what it comes with. The wheels from the concept and the green brake calipers, minus the polycarbonate covers, should be the standard fitment while the ten-spoke magnesium wheels will be a 29,750-euro (about $39,000 US) option.
