History You are bidding on a 1981 Porsche 911SC Targa. Manufactured 12/1980. The vehicle was originally purchased 05-1981 in California. The first owner had the car until 05-1993. The second owner had the car from 05-1993 to 05-2001 and still lived in California. The current owner purchased the vehicle in 2001 with 66k miles on. The vehicle has been moved a few times with the new owner, 2002 to 2006 Illinois, 2006 to 2013 Tennessee and now is living in Michigan. Women owned all 3 times. This vehicle is in excellent condition for its age and has been well cared for by all 3 of its owners. I just drove this vehicle from Detroit MI to Louisville KY and was very impressed by how fun and nice it was to drive. It’s a very solid vehicle and will be a very nice car to own. I will attempt to describe the vehicle the best I can. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask. Interior The interior was completely redone in 1988. Today the interior still looks great. The front seats and rear jump seat are in great condition free of any rips or tears. The dash pad was also recovered and only has a few spots in it right in front of the steering wheel (see pictures). The owner installed a dash pad for protection and it has done a great job maintaining the condition of the dash. It can be removed if desired. The carpet, door panels and the rest of the interior are also in great shape. The original radio has been replaced with a more updated Alpine unit with usb connector. There are also 2 amplifiers in the luggage compartment for the audio system. The sun visors have also been replaced with new ones from Porsche. The original sun visors will come with the vehicle. All gauges and controls in the interior are in working condition and in great shape. Exterior The exterior was completely restored by Sport Body in Upland California in 1988. I have several Polaroid pictures of the vehicle throughout its refinishing process and all invoices for the repair. Today the exterior looks good with typical rock chips in the front hood area and around the headlights. It does have a small place on the passenger side of the front bumper and the driver’s side rear quarter panel behind the wheel that the paint has either been rubbed off or was damaged. See pictures for these areas. There is a small amount of rust developing around the rear window where the bottom of the glass meets the body. I also noticed a very small amount on the door edge of the passenger door. The rest of the cars exterior is near perfect. The luggage area and under the vehicle are in great shape and very clean. I pulled back the carpet and took pictures of all common areas that other vehicles this age might have rust issues. This vehicle looks good, battery area, under both doors and all corners of this vehicle are rust free. The Targa was also refinished in 1988 and still looks new today. Engine At 66462 miles in 2001 the engine had head studs that were pulling out and would not torque so the owner decided it was the best time to have the engine rebuilt. The engine was removed and totally rebuilt by Callas Rennsport in Torrance California. I have all documentation listing what was replaced but a small list would include; clutch cable, all head studs, connecting rods and bearings, timing chains, updated to Carrera tensioner kit, all cam chain rails, new air box and so on. Invoice total was $8361.10. Today the engine runs very well with no signs of leaking fluids or any smoke from exhaust. Extras The owner has installed a maintain battery charger that will come with the vehicle. Also included is a cover king locking car cover, a light weight carbrella for when the targa top is out, 2 owners manuals, all maintenance and repair invoices, new still in the box threshold covers, original tool bag with tools, original spare tire and 6 keys Tires were replaced in 2008 but only @3000 miles ago. I could not fit all the pictures I have (over 100) on this listing so if you have specific areas you would like to see please let me know. If your feedback score is below 5 please do not bid. Contact me first. The vehicle is located in Louisville KY and will need to be picked up there. There is not a buy it now price. The seller is going to let the auction end with the highest bidder (after reserve is met) getting the vehicle. Please check my feedback, I have sold many vehicles on ebay and all transactions have been positive. Bid with confidence. |

Porsche reveals new 911 Turbo Cabriolets, starting from $160,700*
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Porsche has come a long way from the days when its entire model line revolved essentially around the 911, but its prototypical rear-engined sports car is still what it's known for best, and still keeps the German automaker pretty busy. With a seemingly endless array of variations on the theme, the 911s just keep on coming until a new generation arrives and then it starts all over again. And what we have here is the new king of the hill (for now, anyway).
Set to debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show a little less than two months from now are the new Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolets. And no, that's not a typo: that's cabriolets, plural, because what you're looking at are two new models. First up is the 911 Turbo Cabriolet, whose 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six develops 520 horsepower, driving the droptop to 60 miles per hour in 3.3 seconds. That's Porsche's claim, and we have a feeling it's a bit conservative. But if that's still not enough, the 911 Turbo S Cabriolet adds an extra 40 hp for a total of 560 to drop the benchmark acceleration run down to 3.1 seconds.
That makes the new topless Turbos 30 horses stronger and 0.2 seconds quicker than the respective models they replace, but the weight penalty involved with replacing a fixed roof with a folding one (and the necessary structural reinforcement) does make the new 911 Turbo Cabs a smidgen more lethargic than their contemporary coupe counterparts, which run the gauntlet in 3.2 and 2.9 seconds in standard Turbo and upgraded Turbo S specs, respectively. They only lose a single tick on the top speed, though, which clocks in at a follicle-tickling 195 mph in either spec. Otherwise the specifications are as identical as you might expect.
2019 Tokyo Auto Salon features one of the coolest auctions we've seen
Thu, Jan 3 2019In just over a week, the Tokyo Auto Salon will host one of the coolest auctions we've seen in years. Jalopnik spotted BH Auction's listings, and it's a cornucopia of hot machinery you won't typically find at American auctions like Gooding & Company or Barrett Jackson. While Japanese cars make up most of the listings, Ferrari, Porsche, BMW and even Dodge all have at least one car going up for auction. We won't include everything here, but you can check out the full list on BH Auction's website. There are 50 lots at the auction, including nine Nissan Skylines, nine Ferraris and two Porsche Carrera GTs. Some of our other favorites include a Honda S800 coupe, a Toyota Miniace truck, a Mitsubishi Willys Jeep and a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL gullwing with the V8 from a W124 Mercedes-Benz E60 AMG that's estimated to sell for between $1.25 million and $1.5 million.

Ring Taxi BMW M3 chases an Aventador SV and Cayman GT4
Thu, Apr 7 2016On paper, a BMW M3 that's loaded with three passengers probably shouldn't have a chance at keeping up around a track with a Porsche Cayman GT4 and a Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce. In the real world, driver skill and track knowledge can make all the difference, though. And when the M3 is a Nurburgring Taxi with a driver that knows the course incredibly well, we end up getting a fantastic lap like this one. The 'Ring Taxi driver starts by teasing his passengers that they'll see whether the Lambo is fast. Before the two of them get on track, the GT4 cuts in to join the party. What follows is a fascinating lap of the Nordschleife. It's impressive how the BMW driver's skill allows him to keep up with the two other cars and blow past tons of other traffic. During faster sections, the Porsche and Aventador start to pull away, but as soon as the course gets curvy again, the M3 is right back in the action. As the group pulls back into the parking lot, even the Ring Taxi driver sounds impressed with his performance. See the impressive show in the video above. Related Video:
