Up for bid is a 1994 Porsche 968 coupe. The car has 151,490 miles, but the engine only has about 130,000. The engine
is out of a 1994 968 Cabriolet. The engine was replaced because someone installed the flex dampener incorrectly and it
pushed forward on the crankshaft and wore the crankshaft thrust bearing.
The hatch was just rebuilt using professional Sika System components. We removed the hatch glass from the frame, and
completely removed all the old glue and primer. The new primer was airbrushed on, and the hatch glass reglued into the
frame. It looks amazing, and should not separate like the stock primer. The Sika System uses an activator which allows
the primer to bond into the glass, not just stick to the surface. The hatch is car color, which was an option, not the
normal Rally (satin) black. A new left side spoiler trim piece was installed when we restored the hatch.
The car runs and drives great. Everything works perfectly except for the cruise control, which is typical for the 944
and 968 models. If you engage the cruise control, the car wants to go 70MPH, and won't reset to a different speed. The
A/C is R134A and blows ice cold. The car has a factory alarm which works perfectly. The hatch and hood shocks all work
great.
The car has an Autothority performance chip installed, and believe me, you can feel the difference from the stock
chip.
I have installed loads of new components on this car in the 6 years that I have owned it. Here's a rundown of what I
can remember off the top of my head. Porsche factory motor mounts, Koni Sport adjustable shocks, left side hatch
spoiler, rear taillight assembly, one of the foglights, rain gutter trim, drivers door handle, door handle gaskets on
both sides, ground effect trim on both sides, hatch seal, inner sunroof seal, antenna mast, washer filler seal, outer
window scrapers, headlight pods, voltmeter/oil pressure gauge, all four dash trim pieces, rear bumper pads, cassette
tray hinge, all horn switch components, radiator, various cooling hoses, and metal glove box sliders to replace the
crappy factory plastic units. I added the front and rear engine bay covers which they didn't install on all the 94
cars.
The car has leather seats, leather steering wheel, leather emergency brake handle, leather shift knob, and a leather
cassette tray lid.The driver's seat is power adjustable. The interior is in great shape for a 94. There was a small
split in the driver's side seat bolster, but I stitched it up to prevent it from splitting any more. The carpet is in
great shape, and has always been covered with factory floormats (I took them out for the pictures). The rear cargo
cover is perfect with no rips or tears. The dash has the typical cracking from the sun.
The paint on this car is not perfect. It has been my daily driver 50% of the time for the last 6 years (I drive my 968
cabriolet in the summer). There are rock chips, a scrape in the front bumper cover, there are a few small dings in the
fenders, and the paint has been buffed through the top layer in a few small spots. With a coat of paint and a little
interior work, this car would be perfect. I want to give an accurate representation of the car. I don't want the buyer
to be disappointed. If you have any questions, please ask me before you place a bid. The tires are old and worn, and
should be replaced. The timing and balance shaft belts have about 20K on them.
This car is a lot of fun to drive. It handles amazingly, and will not disappoint you in any hard cornering situation.
The tiptronic transmission is great in rush hour, and when you kick it down to second on the freeway, it really gets
up and jumps. When you switch it over to manual shift mode, it is extremely responsive. I went from driving my 5 speed
944 to this car, and I did not miss wearing out my left leg running that clutch all the time.

Porsche 918 Spyder goes ice drifting in Finland
Fri, Feb 13 2015Along with the Ferrari Laferrari and McLaren P1, the Porsche 918 Spyder is one of the trio of hybrid supercars potentially defining the path for these rarified vehicles going forward. When thinking about high-performance machines like this, the mind usually goes to precise driving around a circuit or maybe along a beautifully undulating road... not so much in the snow. Still, this group has more than enough power to make it through a little bit of powder, and the 918 proves that at the Porsche Driving Experience winter camp in Finland. Although, the set of studded snow tires certainly helps. Even with the trick all-wheel drive system in the Porsche combining a mid-mounted V8 and electric motors, this 918 has absolutely no problem lighting up the rear end in the snow and ice. Even at relatively low speeds, just a blip of the throttle is all it takes for the back tires to step out. However, the handling still looks quite controllable. It's hard to grin as this rare supercar does the Scandinavian Flick to set up a perfect drift between the snow banks.
Driving the million-mile Porsche 356
Fri, 30 Aug 2013Maybe 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.
Porsche 911 celebrates 50 years of iconic motoring
Tue, 10 Sep 2013Back in 1963, Porsche debuted the very first 911 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. And over the last 50 years, that coupe has grown to become one of the most iconic sports cars of all time. That in mind, you could easily chalk up this 50th Anniversary model as just one of the many special edition 911s that have graced our roads over the years, but dig a bit deeper and you'll see that this one is far more than just some unique paint and different wheels.
For starters, the 911 50th Anniversary Edition utilizes the wider Carrera 4/4S body, but retains its standard rear-wheel-drive configuration. Power comes from the Carrera S' 3.8-liter flat-six engine, but features a Powerkit upgrade that includes the Sport Chrono package and ups overall output to 400 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. Hitting 60 miles per hour takes just 3.8 seconds if the car is fitted with Porsche's dual-clutch PDK gearbox, or 4.2 seconds if you choose the row-your-own seven-speed manual. Talk about going Over The Hill with a quickness.
Despite looking pretty tame, we're really hot on the appearance of this special 911, with its throwback flat gray paint job and new 20-inch wheels that look remarkably similar to the original Fuchs alloys of the 1963 model. Inside, you'll find green lettering on the instrument displays, white pointer needles and silver accents, and the leather seats have a fabric insert that's similar to the Pepita cloth from the original 911.
