Porsche 911 Carrera 2 on 2040-cars
Millcreek, Illinois, United States
**Pics of front lower bumper area is just wax, not scratches. Type in ismejia on flicker to see video. Not great but hope it helps.Updated 6/24: Forgot to mention that car has Steve Wong chip. This is a real nice common upgrade on 911's. Chip makes a considerable difference by reducing sub 4000 rpm lag and making vehicle more spirited. Also improved torque and throttle response. Please google 911 chips for more info. Description: Up for sale is my gorgeous example of a rare Slate Gray 964. I have documented service history and maintenance going back over 16 years. All body lines are straight, and she drives and pulls wonderfully. A/C is ice cold and all mechanical functions work as they should. Plenty of power in engine. Interior has no tears, rips, or odors and is all original except for head unit. I have original and functional Blaukpunkt stereo that came with vehicle. Please note that original stereo will be included with sale. My car was upgraded with lighter weight OEM Porsche Cup 2 wheels with professionally powder coated finish to last for years to come. Again, I have original wheels and will include with sale of car. Tires are Bridgestone Potenzas. They are newer and have 75-80% thread remaining. Cup 2 wheels are in fantastic condition with no scratches or curb rash. I invested almost $2k this past month on engine maintenance (all receipts will be given to new owner). New spark plugs, valve cover gaskets, and valve adjustments. Rear calipers were upgraded to bigger OEM Porsche calipers. These provide better overall braking and is a common, but expensive mod on these cars. Also, suspension was upgraded with Bilstein adjustable struts. Clutch was replaced by Porsche dealer at 30K miles. Dash is in good condition with no tears. Car has not been tracked or raced. Only high quality Brad Penn oil used. This is a Clean Carfax car. Drivetrain: Engine and transmission are in perfect working order. Transmission does not slip and it holds the power as it should, motor pulls very strong. Axle boots are in good condition, all wear components have been gone recently inspected. Brake pads are fairly new and have plenty of life left. Like I said, new plugs, valve cover gaskets and valve adjustment were done last week. A new Porsche OEM oil cooler was installed last week due to small leak. This is a dependable driver that needs a new home. I'm only selling due to family situation. Interior: Interior is all original and very nice. I am a non smoking owner. All original manuals and original keys come with the car. Additionally, car has complete and original tool kit. Only thing I miss-placed was original cigarette lighter knob. I have to look harder but I think it's in my garage somewhere. Exterior: The exterior is all original. It does have a few rock chips here and there. This should be expected from a 25 year old car with original paint. Sunroof functions perfectly, and there are absolutely no signs of rust anywhere. Overall the paint is very nice. I would rate it a 9/10. Air cooled 911's are harder and harder to find in this condition. Please look around and you will see what I'm talking about.

Porsche 912 is no longer the brand's black sheep
Fri, Dec 12 2014If 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 announces works team for United Sportscar Championship
Tue, 24 Sep 2013Porsche is undoubtedly the most successful manufacturer in sportscar racing, and it's only upping its game. The German marque is launching its new LMP1 racer for Le Mans in pursuit of overall victory once again, and now that sportscar racing in North America is coming together under one banner in the United Sportscar Championship, Porsche has announced it is entering the fray with a works team here as well.
The new Porsche North America racing team will field two cars in the entire inaugural season of the Tudor United Sportscar Championship that's been formed out of the former Grand-Am and American Le Mans Series. The team will be based out of the Porsche Motorsport North America facility in Santa Ana, California, and will partner with three-time ALMS LMPC winners Core Autosport in getting a pair of the latest 911 RSR racecars to the front of the GT Le Mans class.
Drivers have yet to be announced, but are projected to be drawn out of Porsche's factory driver program, which includes such talents as Patrick Long, Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas and Neel Jani. Keep reading below for the official announcement.
Porsche ready to pick itself up after Le Mans failure
Mon, 23 Jun 2014It's safe to say that things for Porsche didn't go quite as well at Le Mans this year as it might have hoped. After a sixteen-year gap, the winningest manufacturer in endurance racing history returned to the Circuit de la Sarthe this year hoping maybe not for outright victory in its first time back, but definitely a strong finish on which it could build on for next year. All the while it undoubtedly hoped its 911s would hold their own in the GT classes.
Unfortunately for Porsche, neither happened. After racing around the clock, and despite actually leading the festivities for some time, the best its 919 Hybrid could manage was an eleventh-place finish, lagging lamentably behind not only the other LMP1s (like the race-winning Audi) but also a handful of LMP2s. Meanwhile the LMGTE Pro and LMGTE Am titles went to the factory-backed teams of its arch-rivals Ferrari and Aston Martin, respectively.
Not a stellar result, in other words, but Porsche is taking it all in stride - accepting that it has a ways to go while congratulating its vanquishing rivals in the video below. It's good sportsmanship if we've ever seen it. Next year's race starts now.
