ENGINE
The rebuild included
Valve stem seals
Rocker arm bushings
Piston rings
All bearings
All gaskets and sealing rings
Timing chain and rails
Oil and gas filters
Pressure relief valves
Etc..
Before reassembly the crank and moving parts were verified for clearance by a machine shop.
TRANSMISSION and CLUTCH
The transmission is the stock 5 speed in excellent condition. The pressure plate, disk and bearing were changed.
BRAKES
The front calipers and pads were replaced; the rear brakes are perfect. The master cylinder had a slight leak and was replaced. All brake lines were flushed with new fluid.
BODY
The general condition is better than a car that was used between 1978 and 1994. This vehicle is not the typical Porsche that today is 39 years old (1978-2017).
There is absolutely NO rust whatsoever and no part of the car shows any suspicion signs of rust and this includes the body joints, floor pans, underneath and on all parts supporting the suspension
The body is as straight as a pin and has not been modified. The color does look much better than in the pictures. It is a rich hue of a blend of gold and bronze.
The Targa hoop is stainless steel as the original model. I can include the black version but the stainless one is striking. The headlights have the European look and the covers are chrome.
GLASS
All glass and trim are perfect-no scratches nor annoying glare as older windshields tend to suffer from. It is due to the fact that it was garaged by the previous owner and then stored in heated premises most of its life.
The electric windows operate trouble free.
INTERIOR
The seats are electric and in an as new condition-no marks, blemishes, wear-no excuses.
The dash is without cracks, sun damage or marks.
The carpets had a very mild odor from storage and I replaced all of them. I assure you that any odor is gone!
The headliner of the Targa top is as new.
WHEELS and TIRES
The wheels are original factory Fuchs. They are in excellent condition without scratches or scrapes.

Evo pits BMW M3 against Porsche Macan in drag battle
Sun, 24 Aug 2014If you want to move five passengers in very rapid fashion and you've got a $75,000 budget, two newly introduced four-door models immediately come to mind - both are the highest performing vehicles in their respective segments. But which is faster off the line, to the 60-mile-per-hour benchmark or flat-out over an even longer run? Evo took both to paved aircraft runway to find out.
In lane one we've got the all-new Porsche Macan Turbo, which boasts a twin-turbocharged, 3.6-liter V6 rated at 400 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. The Porsche is fitted with a seven-speed, dual-clutch gearbox, and the 4,244-pound crossover has the traction advantage of standard all-wheel drive. In lane two is the all-new BMW M3, powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six rated at 425 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. It is also equipped with a seven-speed, dual-clutch gearbox, but only the rear wheels of the 3,595-pound sedan are driven. Both the BMW and Porsche arrive with launch control, which helps to remove driver error off the line.
Which automaker's launch control system is better off the line? Does all-wheel-drive grip give the crossover the advantage it needs to overcome its adversary's power-to-weight advantage? Will aerodynamics factor into the results? Which would you put in your garage, and why? The video may surprise you.
Porsche acquires ANDIAL, will integrate with in-house motorsports
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Porsche has purchased longtime motorsports and tuning house ANDIAL.
The Fountain Valley, California-based tuning house ANDIAL has been around since 1975, when it was formed by the Arnold Wagner, Dieter Inzenhofer and Alwin Springer (the company got its name by combining two letters from each of their names). The three men met while working in a Porsche dealership in Southern California and then left to start a business that would put Porsches in victory lane all over the country.
Porsches prepared by ANDIAL won IMSA GT and Supercar Series championships, the SCCA World Challenge, four Pikes Peak class titles and the 24 Hours of Daytona six times. Alwin Springer left the company in 1997 to run Porsche Motorsport North America until 2004 and remains a consultant with PMNA, Wagner passed away in 2011 and Inzenhofer plans to retire this year. ANDIAL is still a going concern, Inzenhofer presiding over a scaled-down engine parts and restoration business. But Inzenhofer is retiring at month's end, making it a good time for Porsche to step in and take over the company's operations.
China may surpass US as Porsche's largest market this year thanks to Cayenne
Thu, 09 Oct 2014China has already surpassed the United States as the world's largest automotive market, so it's no surprise that one day soon it will be the world's largest Porsche market.
In fact, that day may already be here, as the PRC's Porschephiles outbought their American counterparts in September. Porsche's Chinese dealers sold 4,344 cars last month to America's 3,607. Through all of 2014 so far, though, the US is still the larger market for the German brand.
"The U.S. performed very well this year, after a great year in 2013, but China is growing fast, thanks to the Cayenne which is our best seller there," Porsche's sales and marketing boss, Bernhard Maier, told Automotive News Europe.
