1976 Porsche 911S Targa 93,000 original miles!
This absolutely beautiful 40-year old 911S was sold to the original Northern California owner on December of 1975.
He had the car for about 10 years before selling it to a neighbor who would go on to use it as a weekend cruiser
for the next 30 years. This Porsche has spent its entire 40 year life in the California foothills. It has always
been garaged in between use, is totally rust free and has been driven only 93,000 miles since new! A rare find
indeed! Our home recently sold on Labor Day (September 7th) and we are moving to our beach house back east on Cape
Cod for the next year or two. I can’t take it with me because we have no garage there, and I don’t want to
store it here in California because of all the associated “non-use” issues that go along with not starting a
car for such a long period of time. Please note that I am not a mechanic, body shop owner, or car dealer, nor am I a
self-professed Porsche guru. I am simply a gentleman that has been fortunate enough to have owned several Porsches
over the past 40 years. In my humble opinion, this is a really nice one and given its present condition should
bring the new owner a lot of joy and compliments from envious onlookers for many years to come.
Mechanical Condition:
Excellent! Runs and drives like new! Driven only 93,000 miles in the past 40 years and feels like it should. The
engine is super strong, the 5-speed transmission shifts perfectly (even when cold), the brakes are awesome, and all
the lights, wipers, gauges, etc. work perfectly – even the horn and clock work! In addition, it has been updated
with the pop-off valve and the expensive Carrera tensioners. The compression is 130-135 in all 6 cylinders. Just
changed all the fluids (engine/transmission) and had the car smogged last week. It passed with flying colors, even
with all the factory smog equipment present and accounted for!
Exterior Condition:
This 911S looks absolutely beautiful from just 5 feet away! The very rare “Desert Beige” color is stunning
especially with the chrome package (roll bar, window trim, wing window skurrounds, headlight bezels, and door
handles). However, upon closer scrutiny, one will find that the 20-year old paint job is starting to show its age
(i.e., some touched up nicks, chips, door dings, etc….) In other words, it looks really nice like it does in the
pictures, unless you’re within a couple of feet of it. It has excellent door and hood gaps, and comes with the
original Fuchs alloy wheels and like new tires.
Interior Condition:
Excellent throughout! The only real flaw is a 6” crack in the otherwise excellent dashboard. Targa top is in
great shape as well. Front and rear seats, carpet, door panels, etc., are all in outstanding condition. This 911S
is AC and PW delete (the lightweight model as some people like to call it).
Also included in the sale of my 1976 911S are the original owner’s manual, 70’s ski rack, jack, tool kit
(partial), bra and spare tire.
This Porsche has been lovingly maintained and to the best of my knowledge needs nothing more to be used as a
reliable every day car, or just a really fun weekend driver. If I were keeping it I can’t think of anything I
would do to make it any better.

Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.

2015 Porsche 911 GTS widens your rear-engined choices

Fri, Nov 21 2014

"Porsche needs to offer more versions of the 911" is not a phrase you'll hear uttered often. Not with 15 versions already in the catalog. But with the opening of this year's LA Auto Show, Porsche has introduced four more to bring the total up to nineteen variants. And more are no doubt on the way. What you're looking at is the new Porsche 911 GTS, which has grown from one model in the previous generation to four. Buyers will be able to choose between rear- or all-wheel drive and between coupe and cabriolet body-styles, but either way they'll be looking at a 3.8-liter flat six with 430 horsepower. That slots it in between the base Carrera and the GT3, but unlike the hardcore latter, it can be had with choice of manual or dual-clutch transmission – bringing the available configurations of 911 GTS up to eight. Spec the DCT and you'll be reaching 60 in as little as 3.8 seconds, but the pleasure won't come cheap: prices range from $114,200 for the rear-drive coupe to $132,800 for the all-wheel-drive cabrio, plus another $995 for delivery. But for that much scratch you also get the Powerkit, Sport Chrono package, wider track, lower suspension, Xenon headlamps, Alcantara trim, 20-inch alloys and more all thrown in as standard.

Watch the Chevy Corvette dismiss its Euro rivals at the hands of a Brit magazine

Sat, 08 Feb 2014

European auto writers, especially the British, have a bit of a reputation for favoring their own domestic cars over foreign rivals in comparison tests. Just think about how many times you've heard Jeremy Clarkson deify the latest product of UK loins while denigrating an American rival as a hopeless "Yank Tank." However, we have to tip our hats to the folks at Autocar because in its latest video comparing the 2014 Corvette Stingray to the Porsche 911, Jaguar F-Type V8 S and Audi R8, it's actually given the Vette a fair shake.
Autocar has put the Stingray through a battery of tests against what it considers to be the three best sports cars on sale in Europe today. And while the tests that it has chosen are somewhat random and subjective, it has concluded that the C7 can stand up against its rivals, even irrespective of its price. It's one thing to hear about how great the Stingray is from American writers, but it's great to know that not all Brits think we've gone crazy for calling the new Chevrolet "exquisite."
Scroll down to see how it all plays out on video.
