Knowledgable Porsche buyers want 911SC’s because the are so simple, robust and inexpensive to maintain. There
aren’t any complex ECU’s, they are light and responsive making them feel like a sports car. I have applied for
a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity to verify the color names and options but what you see is a unbelievably well
maintained car in great colors. It has sport seats, “meat grinders” (crank windows) and a sunroof. The original
interior tells an accurate story on how well the car was cared for, there isn’t a crack in the dash or a tear in
the upholstery or excessive damage to the carpeting. The paint is incredible but i am guessing that it was
re-sprayed in the original color because its too good to be 38 years old. There is no evidence of overspray or
masking lines but I can’t see any signifiant flaws making me think that the past owner paid a lot for the
re-spray. This car drives as good as it looks with perfect steering, brakes and suspension. The engine doesn’t
smoke or leak and starts hot and cold instantly without smoke. There are no oil leaks, the transmission shift
effortlessly and exhaust is solid. It has updated chain tensioners and has well maintained characteristics all
over the place. This car must be seen to believe.
I bought the car because it is beautiful and unique. I am happy to keep it but if i an make a little money on it, I
will sell it. Ultimately, i am happy to keep the car. If you are interested, I can arrange a Pre-Purchase
Inspection or can hold the car for you to come and see and drive. Please feel free to ask me any questions. I can
get the car to a port and work with you to export the car. I have a good relationship with Schumacher Cargo
Logistics so I am happy to get the car shipped overseas. I can also assist in getting the car shipped domestically.
I bought this car from a local man with the intent to keep it but if I can sell and make some money to get an
earlier “long nose” 911, I will sell this car. Please please email me if you have any questions

Porsche celebrates 50 years of 911 with some excellent pics

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

The 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!

Porsche 912 is no longer the brand's black sheep

Fri, Dec 12 2014

If you haven't looked recently, prices for many vintage Porsche 911s are now well out of the realm for mortal men to purchase. However, the growing values have their advantages because they mean that the 912 is being better accepted as a member of the Porsche family. In a new video, Petrolicious talks to one owner about his mildly modified example while the coupe zips through the backroads and city streets of France. Launched around the time of the 911, the 912 shared its body but retained the four-cylinder engine from the 356, rather than the new six. The older mill helped make the 912 cheaper to buy, but it also tarnished the coupe in the eyes of Porsche fans for years. Much like the four-cylinder 914 and 924, the 912 just seemed like a black sheep in the shadow of its more powerful brother. Following two massive changes to his life, Julien Borne bought a 1967 912 as a project to get back on the road. After hours of welding, wrenching and beating out panels by hand in his grandparents' neglected country house, he crafted this gorgeous example. Check out the video to hear his story, as Petrolicious shows why the model's stigma is wearing off.

Porsche would have entered F1 if Audi had blocked its Le Mans program

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

Go back a few years and you may have heard rumors of Porsche heading into Formula One. That never came to pass - or at least, it hasn't yet - but that doesn't mean that it wasn't close to happening. That's how committed to returning to top-level motorsport competition Porsche has become recently.
Autosport reports that just as Porsche was merging fully into the Volkswagen Group, Zuffenhausen was weighing its options for a factory racing program. Le Mans was its favorite, which makes sense, as it remains far and away the most successful constructor in the history of the famous endurance race. But the strategists at Porsche were worried that its new corporate overlords at Volkswagen wouldn't support two LMP1 programs and would favor Audi, which has positively dominated the modern era of endurance racing, coming second only to Porsche in the number of Le Mans victories it has scored to date.
Porsche's Plan B was reportedly to head into Formula One, although it isn't clear if the German automaker was intent on starting its own team, buying an existing one or merely providing engines to other teams. Porsche fielded its own cars in F1 in the late 1950s and early 60s, and returned as an engine supplier with TAG to power McLaren in the 1980s, powering Niki Lauda and Alain Prost to the World Championship in 1984 and 1985.
