 **** VIN# II WILL GET OFF OF THE CAR WHEN I GET A CHANCE. I DID NOT HAVE IT HANDY AT TIME OF AD. *********

This is a 1992 Porsche 968 for sale. This is a beautiful car that has been semi-restored. I bought the car to restore over time with my father. Over the years my father and I have restored over 6 antique cars together. We are now two busy with work and need the money and space to expand our growing business. I originally purchased this car in 2007 and it barely made it home. We pulled it into the garage and a short year later she was on the road and passed inspection from the state of New Jersey. I drove the car every day for months and had no problems. It than sat for over 3 years in my garage. In 2011 we moved it to one of our personal storage warehouses. It has been in a climate controlled garage since the day I had it. She is a beautiful driver and the first Porsche I ever had that doesn’t leak or burn oil. She isn’t in show quality yet but she is a perfect candidate for a finished restoration project.

Features I love about this Porsche:

The removable roof. It is like a big sun roof that is not see thru it power tilts up in the back and then can be removed by clips similar to a convertible top. The top can be stored in the hatch and secured down with the cars cargo net. When this top is off it’s like driving a convertible but still a coupe.

If you decided that you wanted to race this car you can simply take the power steering belt off and have stiff steering and not affect the rest of the car.

Standard features

Power windows, breaks, locks, roof and steering. It has AM, FM cassette tape. It also has a car phone but it never worked and I never received the phone part just the holder in the car.  

 

Small issues to be addressed by the new owner:

  • The passenger turn signal lens is broken

  • The grill is broken and allows lower vents to flop around

  • Body molding clips and seals need attention

  • Very small tare in the rear seat on the driver’s side.

  • Rims have lost their luster a little bit. There is no curb marks but could use a buff or possible repaint.

  • There are some racks in the dash cover from age and sun damage

  • Steering wheel shows signs of wear.

  • Carpet is original and a little faded

  • Foldable stock spare tire works and holds air the factory compressor is not in the car. You can buy one on eBay or at AutoZone

Major issues that I would address to finish the car.

  • Paint job needs help. It still has a shine on most of the car. It does have random scratches and chips on the car. I believe most can be buffed out maybe a little wet sand but you will need to do paint work on this car as well.

  • There is a small dent in the top of the passenger front fender approx. the palm of your hand. The metal is not creased so it can probably be pulled no paint work should be needed

  • There is a spider crack in the paint on the driver’s side rear bumper corner

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.

Volkswagen Group sales down 15% in pandemic year, but EV sales up 214%

Wed, Jan 13 2021

FRANKFURT, Germany — German automaker Volkswagen said its global sales fell 15.2% during 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic but showed significant recovery toward the end of the year. The company more than tripled its sales of battery-only vehicles. Global sales for all of Volkswagen's brands amounted to 9.3 million vehicles. The fourth quarter showed a smaller decline of 5.7% and within that quarter the month of December was still further improved, showing a shortfall of only 3.2% from the same period the year before. Volkswagen said Wednesday that sales fell the most in Western Europe, by 21.6%, while China, the company's largest single market, was down 9.1% Sales of battery-only cars jumped 214% to 231,600 from 73,700 across all the company's brands. The company's electric sales leaders included the Volkswagen ID.3 compact, with 56,500, the Audi E-Tron SUV with 47,300, and the high-end Porsche Taycan with 20,000. Volkswagen said that its sales fell by less than the overall market, meaning it had slightly expanded its market share. “The COVID-19 pandemic made 2020 an extremely challenging year,” said group sales chief Christian Dahlheim. “The Volkswagen Group performed well in this environment and strengthened its market position." Volkswagen Group's brands include Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, SEAT, and Skoda as sell as truck makers MAN and Scania.

Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer

An Iconic Sports Car, Restored to Seduce
I have been strapped behind the iconic Momo Prototipo steering wheel for a little more than an hour, all windows down as I carve my way up a rugged canyon during an unusually warm Southern California evening, and I am overwhelmed with emotion. My heart is pounding out of my chest, my breathing is heavy and my palms are sweaty because I am completely absorbed by this wondrous machine.
After waiting patiently for nearly four years, I am finally behind the wheel of a classic Porsche 911 restored, modified and tuned by Singer Vehicle Design. The vehicle that surrounds me never rolled off an automaker's assembly line in its current configuration, yet its physical appearance is timeless, build quality breathtaking and driving dynamics peerless.
