I am downsizing my collection of Porsches.
A 1975 Porsche Carrera Coupe that sold for $ 109.000-
My asking price is $ 69.911- !!!!
The history and development of the Porsche Carrera RS is very well documented,
and needs no further explanation as to the evolution of the early G series, US Carrera Model.
This 1975 Carrera Coupe follows in the wake of it’s illustrious predecessor, the 1973 Carrera RS.
This is an original un-molested car, right down to it's original US specification ride height!
The Certificate of Authenticity on hand for this car, shows this to be # 151 of the 395 made for the US market.
The Guards (India) Red/G8 and Black Leatherette/16 colour combination suit this Porsche perfectly,
and is complemented by the fabulous Factory Recaro Sport Seats, Electric Sunroof and Power Windows.
This car stands out as it has the very rare options of the full RS front oil cooler and front RS/Carrera Turbo
alloy brake calipers.
The rear whale tail spoiler, unique to this model, is also found on the early Carrera Turbos.
With 97k original miles, it was time to have it refreshed sympathetically.
The car had a full windows out repaint in it’s original Guards Red colour.
The car was delivered to it's original owner, in Arizona, before I brought it into California, so the car is dry
and rust free,
and no rust repairs were needed.
I had the seats re-upholstered, and new carpets installed by my Concourse Award Winning upholsterer.
The original Factory dash is in remarkably fine uncracked original condition.
Mechanically the car is well dialed in, and performs flawlessly.
The original engine, known to be volatile by nature, was replaced early in the car’s life with a blank cased 7R
Factory Replacement engine of the correct year and type.
Upon inspection this engine has been overhauled with inserts, and includes the updated Carrera hydraulic
tensioners.
At the same time, the problem causing thermal reactors were removed and a new sports exhaust system installed.
No smog is required for CA.
The private plate does not accompany the car.
This Porsche offered and described here is an honest example of a really nice and well sorted 1975 US Carrera.
It is ready to be used and enjoyed, as is, without further expense.
A delight to drive, all the controls work perfectly, clutch is smooth and gentle, the engine strong and powerful.
This car is eminently suitable and is eligible to enter many of the Classic Rallys and Tours that are currently
available, and gaining in popularity.
I consider this to be a wonderful driver quality Porsche, and it is capable of winning it’s class at any
Regional Porsche Club of America Concourse.
The car is titled, licensed and registered in my name, and comes with fresh registration for a year, and is insured
with Hagerty.

Porsche announces four flavors of updated Cayenne [w/video]
Thu, 24 Jul 2014The new Macan may be getting all the attention lately, but Porsche hasn't forgotten about its larger crossover - the one that put it on the map in 2002 and on the road to profitability, with over half a million sold so far. So to keep the Cayenne at the top of its game, Porsche has announced several key upgrades for the 2015 model.
For starters, Porsche has updated the Cayenne's appearance with new front- and rear-end styling. The front bumper, fenders and hood are entirely new, with air fins flanking the nose to direct air into the intercoolers (each model now being artificially aspirated), and new bi-xenon headlamps and daytime running LEDs on every model but the Turbo, which goes all-LED. Around back there's also new taillights, tailgate handle, lower rear fascia and exhaust pipes. Meanwhile the interior has been upgraded with a 918-derived sport steering wheel and reformed rear seats with available ventilation.
The bigger news is under the engine bay, where Porsche is offering four choices. The base model is gone as the range starts with the Cayenne Diesel, followed by the Cayenne S, the new Cayenne S E-Hybrid and the top-of-the-line Cayenne Turbo. The Diesel model carries over the same 3.0-liter turbo diesel with 240 horsepower. The Cayenne S however packs a 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 that's similar to the one found in the Macan Turbo and packs the same 406 lb-ft of torque but more power at 420 hp, 20 more than either its little brother or the model it replaces to reach 62 mph in 5.2 seconds.
VW Group recalls 27k Touaregs, Audis and Porsches for fuel leak
Tue, Jan 27 2015The Volkswagen Group is one of the most expansive in the entire industry, and shares parts across more product lines than we could wrap our heads around. So when the German megalith finds a fault in one of its components, it has the capacity to spread like wildfire. The latest set of recall notices from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration covers vehicles from the Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche divisions. The problem revolves around the fuel injection system, which could potentially leak and cause a fire. The recall affects – deep breath now – the 2012 VW Touareg Hybrid, the 2011-12 Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid and Panamera S Hybrid, 2011-12 Audi S4, S5 and Q7 and the 2012-13 Audi A7. All told, that amounts to 27,376 units, the owners of which can expect to hear from the manufacturer to have the fuel rails replaced, along with their corresponding seals (having nothing to do with marine mammals writing letters). RECALL Subject : Fuel Injection System Fuel Leak Report Receipt Date: JAN 20, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V019000 Component(s): FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE Potential Number of Units Affected: 26,008 Manufacturer: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.

In the affected vehicles the fuel injection system may experience a fuel leak. CONSEQUENCE: A fuel leak in the injection system in the presence of an ignition source, increases the risk of a fire.

Porsche celebrates 50 years of 911 with some excellent pics
Tue, 12 Feb 2013The Porsche 911 is one of the most iconic sports cars of all time, and to celebrate the car's first 50 years, Porsche has released a stunning set of photos showing how far the 911 has come from the original back in 1963 to its current 991 generation. Unlike the recent 60-year photo spread that Chevrolet put together for the Corvette, though, Porsche's gallery only shows the original 911 and the current car.
Each time the 911 is redesigned, the car's front fenders, roofline and the shape of the side windows are key focal points. Even some of the interior cues have remained the same over the years, including the positioning of the ignition key on the left of the steering column and the five-gauge instrument cluster layout.
Scroll down for Porsche's press release breaking down the seven generations of the 911, and be sure to check out our gallery with plenty of high-res pics for you to download as a desktop wallpaper. In fact, we're providing these at 1920-pixels-wide instead of our usual 1280 wide. Enjoy!
