Brentwood, Tennessee, United States

Selling my "barn find" [found last year] original one family owned 1965 SC. This is a well cared for original car. I bought this from the original owner's son. He had the car parked in his warehouse for about 6 years. Per the porsche owner's book with the car,His father bought the car here in Nashville in late 1964. Per the son, The car was "bumped" into in the back drivers side quarter panel sometime in the early 70's, the car was fixed and repainted,[ drivers door line needs work] the color is Very close to the original color. and for 40 year old paint looks damn good. There is very little rust on the car, [1 Jack point under the drivers door has a rust spot], I believe the floor boards and battery area have been replaced. When we pulled the car out, I had it taken to Wikki Lawerie and his company Rentag motorworks here in Nashville [feel free to call him] he completely rebuilt the motor, which had [90k miles on it when we found it. The original owner had an electronic fuel pump added to the motor , which we have left on the car.I have put about 1000 miles on the car] and put a new muffler [original specs] back on the car. We also installed new weber carbs , but I do have the original solex carbs.I have not really done anything else to the car since it was found. All the original instrument cluster gauges work, clock is not running... lighter and ashtray are intact but are worn...still original 6 volt system The Car runs great and is a good driver. It is... NOT A PRISTINE CAR ...but it is a very good looking and solid car and I would not be afraid to drive it anywhere. Just saw an original go on ebay in way less condition than mine is in, go for 55k... so my price is pretty solid. If you are looking for a very nice driver, that does not need much work, my car may be the car for you Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. I am happy to help make arrangements. Glad to meet and show the car to anyone around the Nashville Tn area. I have done my best to describe my car,Car comes with no warranty's, other than the motor work we just had done glad to answer questions Thanks for looking Jon |

2017 Porsche 911 Carrera experienced from the passenger seat
Sat, Sep 26 2015Autoblog joins Porsche for Rennsport Reunion V at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, the fifth international gathering of all things Porsche. If you've ever had a picture of a Porsche on your wall or dreamed of owning a certain model, either that very car or one just like it is here. Watching three 917 racers blaze over the rise at the front straight and down into turn one can make a viewer think, "So this is how Steve McQueen felt..." It was a modern Porsche that delivered one of the highlights of the first day, though: we rode shotgun for three hot laps of the track in the new turbocharged 991.2-series 911 Carrera S, with Thomas Krickelberg, director of powertrain for the 911 model line, our pilot. We cornered him and August Achleitner, vice president of the 911 product line, for a few questions about the changes. What do you call the standard 911 now that it has turbocharged engines? Carrera. If you're wondering what to call the standard 911 now that they have turbocharged engines, the answer is: Carrera. Krickelberg said, "In-house we call them 'little turbo' and 'big turbo,'" but the Carrera is a model line within the 911 model line, the big boy 911 Turbo is a second model line within the 911 family. One will continue to be called Carrera, the other simply Turbo. The move to turbocharging came to serve the twin kings of performance and fuel economy, but engineers played around with numerous configurations. A non-turbo engine displacing about 4.0 liters – that's as big as the 9A1 engine block can go – was considered, but that setup couldn't deliver the desired fuel efficiency. Krickelberg said engineers considered a small-displacement block of around 2.0 liters, but that was abandoned because "takeoff behavior was worse" because the turbo was called upon to do too much of the heavy performance living. Krickelberg added, "Not only that, but there was a too big a gap between real-world fuel economy and homologation fuel economy." Base Carrera and the Carrera S models haven't used the same engine displacement since the 996 series departed at the end of 2004. Achleitner said, "We found 3.0 liters is the best solution to get the best mix of fuel and air in combustion chamber - it offered the best geometry, bore and stroke, and the size of the walls.
Mark Webber treats Maria Sharapova to a Porsche 918 Spyder joyride
Tue, 29 Apr 2014We don't much like Mark Webber right now. Part of being a racing driver is dealing with promotional stuff. It's not hard to find a driver that can't stand all this nonsense, whether it be promoting a product, meeting investors or attending some obscure event. Even a driver of Webber's caliber - a former Formula One driver for Red Bull Racing and a member of Porsche's factory Le Mans team - has to serve his time at the promo events.
Somehow, though, we don't think the Aussie driver minds this particular promo detail. In the video below, Webber attends the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart. He then takes tennis superstar Maria Sharapova out for a spin behind the wheel of the Porsche 918 Spyder. The level of jealousy at the Autoblog office is palpable.
Take a look below for the video. And as we're super jealous of Mr. Webber, hop into Comments and caption the above photo based on what you think he's saying to Maria. Bonus points if you can work "vegemite" into the caption.
2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S
Fri, 19 Jul 2013I don't care who you are; when a new Porsche 911 rolls up in your driveway, that's a pretty good day. This was my very first experience with Porsche's 991 911, and after having spent time with just about every tune and trim of the last car, I was hotly anticipating comparing and contrasting.
Somehow (I don't remember sending out any cash-filled, unmarked envelopes) I'd scored a week in the 911 Carrera 4S over a long holiday weekend, too. That meant that I'd get to A) log a ton of miles in one of the best cars in the world, B) get to show-off the Porsche to family and friends and C) tempt cops in three states to pull me over. Good thing I've got the Autoblog traffic lawyer on speed dial...
