Thank you for your interest. I am the third owner, and have only owned the car for a short while. The car was
purchased at Plaza Motor Company in Creve Coeur MO, and spent most of its life in Indiana. The car was sold by the
original family to a nephew in Florida in 2014. My goal was to bring the car to Concours condition, but I am
starting a business and need the cash for start-up costs. The car is mechanically in good condition, and I
recently spent $6100 on maintenance and upgrades.
I have scans of the invoice for the motor work and of the work performed recently in Houston. Also, I have records
including the original dealer invoice, but I don't have regular oil and brake fluid maintenance records before
2005. My understanding is that the car was maintained by the same mechanic (Farmer) for most of its life until
2014.
The car is stock in terms of suspension and other performance items besides the DME chip. The catalytic converter
was removed, but the original exhaust pipe is still on the car. The car was painted in 2005 and the seats were
recovered in the same year. This year, I replaced the existing performance chip with a Steve Wong chip, who also
upgraded the DME board to 28 pin.
Additionally, the motor was rebuilt in 2005 at 109K miles by Farmer Automotive in IN.Heads polished and ported,
cylinders honed, rings replaced, timing chain and rails replaced, valves ground, and guides replaced. 134a air
condition upgraded. Stereo replaced with Alpine CD player. The car has the following new items: Michelin Pilot
Sport tires, OEM brake pads and rotors in the front, rebuilt calipers front and back, SS brake lines, clutch cable,
shifter bushings, battery, spark plugs, air filter, valve adj, valve cover gaskets, Dot 4 brake fluid, Brad Penn
20/50 oil and filter.
The car runs really well. Pulls hard, and drives straight. I believe in as much disclosure as possible, so here
are the things I can think of that are negative:
1) Flaws in the paint job are difficult to detect unless viewed up close, but paint is not perfect.
2) The hood was replaced by the original owner. There is some small amount of corrosion on the hinges where the
new hood was attached, but the metal is solid. No evidence of accident under the car.
3) There is some corrosion around the battery box and the paper liner under the battery is ripped and brittle.
4) There is some corrosion around the underside of the rocker panels near the screw holes.
5) Occasionally, the first-to-second gear shift is a little notchy, so the synchro probably needs replacing at some
point in the future. The rest of the gears are smooth.
6) The front right corner of the windshield is slightly delaminated and you can see moisture. I have sealed the
gasket from the outside, so it shouldn't expand from there.
7) The roof has an indention about the size of a quarter, and maybe an 1/16 of an inch deep. Hard to detect unless
up close.
8) Rear glass heater does not work.

Porsche looks back on very first 911 Turbo
Wed, 11 Jun 2014Porsche has really hit on a winning formula with its series of videos going inside its vault. So far, we've seen the V8 911 prototype, mid-engine test mule and aerodynamic prototype. The company is sticking with the 911 theme in the latest entry, but this time it's an actual production car - the very first 911 Turbo ever made.
Being the first Turbo would make it important enough, but the car was also a birthday present for Louise Piëch, daughter of Ferdinand Porsche and sister to Ferry Porsche, and she regularly used the car. The family didn't just hand her a random car off the assembly line, either. She got to make it her own with some interesting modifications. She supposedly even painted landscapes from inside the car.
You have to wonder what Piëch thought of her present. The early Turbos had a reputation for being a bit of a handful to drive. The boost tended to bring the power all at once, which wasn't always welcome when cornering. She deserves some honor just for driving the car on the curvy, alpine roads. Scroll down to learn about this important Porsche, and we can't wait to see what car the brand showcases next.
Evo makes the case for the world's best driving road in Majorca
Tue, 05 Aug 2014What good is a sports car if you haven't got a great place to drive it? It's a common refrain that we've heard time and time again. But few are as familiar with the problem as they are in the UK, where the number of people, cars on the road and traffic cameras keep growing to conspire against the joy of driving. Leave it to Evo, then, to depart in search of the greatest driving road in the world.
It's a pursuit that's taken the British car mag across Europe, most recently to Romania's Carpathian Mountains where it added the Transalpina Pass to its short list. But its latest journey has taken Evo to the Spanish island of Majorca, where Henry Catchpole found not one, but two spectacular driving roads from behind the wheel of the new Porsche Boxster GTS. We could drone on about the smooth, empty ribbons of twisting tarmac with excellent visibility and panoramic vistas... but you really want to see the video for yourself. Don't miss Evo's previous trip to Romania in the Jaguar F-Type, which we've included below, as well.
Porsche 911 GT3 wows the crowds in Geneva
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Porsche has a long and storied history of taking its range-topping 911 sportscar racing, with an enviable record of achievements in tow. The latest machine with which the automaker will take to the track can be seen above: the fifth-generation 2014 911 GT3.
With 475 horsepower strumming through the 3.8-liter six-cylinder boxer engine, this is the pinnacle of naturally aspirated performance from Porsche. It can go from 0 to 60 in just 3.3 seconds, hit a top speed of 195 miles per hour and has lapped the Nürburgring Nordschleife in less than seven and a half minutes.
A dual-clutch PDK transmission (no standard manual gearbox will be offered) with shorter gearing than lesser 911 models sends power to the rear wheels. Providing forward motion isn't the only thing those rear wheels will be doing - Porsche says the 2014 911 GT3 is fitted with the manufacturer's first active rear-wheel steering.
