I met a guy who lives in Napa, CA with a cab in this color (I think they only made 12 cabs in Wimbledon green), and
fell in love with the color. About a year later I found one right down the street from me in Los Angeles and bought
it. It’s a great car with 114,000 miles, so when I found this one with only 50,000 miles, I decided to buy it as
well.
It had low miles but was parked outside in the Florida sun, so paint was faded, dash was cracked and hatch carpet
is worn. I removed the dash and had it recovered in leather. I got a quote for replacing the rear carpet but this
is the only thing that I did not get around to (see photos of carpet).
Recent maintenance:
All new Gates belts and rollers, cam chain tensioner pads, timing chain, valve cover gaskets (1/5/15)
New Yokohama S-Drive Tires (2/17/15)
New brake pads and rotors, front and back (1/5/15)
New euro front blinkers
Replaced stock seats with seats out of a 2013 Cayman (I still have the stock seats to go with the car,
if desired), and wired electrical to work correctly
Leather dash (Removed dash and had top recovered in leather)
Full re-spray at a shop that knows these cars, so had all new rubber seals replaced as well. Paint
looks like new.
Fluids changed: oil, brake fluid, and coolant (1/5/15)
Design 1 Racing short shift kit
I have a clean CarFax that I can provide, and recently passed California SMOG. Has the clear power steering
reservoir, which is very rare. I have original books and leather cover, and 2 keys. AC blows very cold, actually
colder than my other 968 for some reason that I would like to figure out.
I am only selling because I came across a 1993 Porsche 928 GTS 5 speed with 60,000 miles, and of course I still
have my higher mileage 968. This car is ready to go with all maintenance handled.

Audi RS7 vs. Porsche Panamera Turbo, which would you pick? [w/poll]
Wed, 08 Jan 2014We live in a blessed time - a time when you can buy not just one, but two (or three, or four) monstrously powerful, blazingly fast four-doors that can't only keep up with modern supercars, but in some instances, will outperform them as well. Two of the finest are the Audi RS7 and the refreshed Porsche Panamera Turbo, and Motor Trend has been messing around with the both of them in this comparison video.
MT provides a comprehensive and entertaining look at the RS7 and the turbocharged Panamera as they go through a battery of tests, before getting tossed about on both the road and the track. Starring flip-flop aficionado Jonny Lieberman, it's a must-watch, whether you're in the market for one of the two super sedans or merely want to see the former Autoblog editor again.
After having a look at the video, register a vote for the car you'd park in your driveway in our poll. Hop below for the full video from the team at Motor Trend.
Jack Olsen built one Porsche to do it all
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Jack Olsen has built himself a lair called the 12-Gauge Garage, and inside that garage he built a lairy Porsche 911 nicknamed Black Beauty II. Although it looks like one of Stuttgart's models from the sixties or seventies, it is actually four decades of 911 gubbins from 1965 to 2000 thrown under one shell: the lightweight body is from 1972, the transaxle from 1977, the brakes from a 1986 Turbo, the engine from 1995, for example. It weighs 2,400 pounds and it's got 272 horsepower to get it going, but it's still a pure Porsche, Olsen saying, "If you stop thinking about what you're doing, it will remind you in very abrupt ways."
Olsen said the real point has been to have one car that does it all, so he does everything in his 911 from neighborhood runs to 7-11 to track racing - he loads the aero bits in the car and bolts them on trackside. And he says he'll never stop tweaking the suspension.
You can watch and hear the rest in Olsen's words in the video below.
Listen to the Porsche Macan's exhaust note ahead of its LA debut
Fri, 08 Nov 2013As if we need further proof that the Porsche Macan won't just be another small CUV, it'll be a small Porsche CUV, the German automaker has released a video of the vehicle's raucous exhaust note. In short, the Macan will sport a far racier soundtrack than most of its competitors.
The raspy sound coming from one of the Macan's two turbocharged V6 engines sounds great (the video isn't clear as to whether we're listening to the base 3.0-liter or the Turbo model's 3.6-liter engine), and it's accompanied by a nice crackle on overrun. It isn't like a 911 or other flat-six model, but it is more or less what we expect a Porsche to sound like. We'll have all the details on the newest member of the Porsche lineup when it debuts later this month at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. Scroll down for an official press release from Porsche, as well as the video of the Macan, and be sure to turn your speakers up.
