This black plate CA car was shipped to VA about 7 years ago. I bought It from a friend who had no time to work on it. The floor was rusted but this was all the rust that was on the car other than some very minor surface rust up front. A new factory correct floor was welded in. This car is 100% solid! The left fender has a darker shade of grey (must have had a fender/bender). During shipment from CA the roof on the pass side behind the windshield suffered a small pingpong ball dent as it must have hit the transporter. This has been fixed but the paint is darker than the original. There are a few nicks in the paint and just a couple minor dings (very small) but the body is in very good shape. I believe the mileage to be original but don't have proof. The car runs and drives well. The 5 speed tranny shifts well. The webers were rebuilt, brake calipers rebuilt, new brake hoses, new carpet, new door beltlines and window frame seals including vent windows, valves adjusted, engine tuned up etc. The clutch is likely the original but it doesn't slip so I have not replaced it. This car is a beautiful driver that needs just a little more TLC or could be restored to showroom condition without much cost. The hazard blinkers stopped working (I saw them die as they were on) and I am pretty sure it is the flasher unit. Also the horn button does not make contact with ground, other wise the horn system works. I did not want to risk breaking the horn button getting it off, its stubborn. The radio delete plate can easily be unbolted to install your radio. Correct spare included (not shown). I have run out of time to completely finish the light resto I was doing on this car. My son starts college in a couple weeks and we could use the money. I hate to sell it!

'Faster. Farther.' dives into the history of Porsche racing tech

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

No doubt, Porsche has produced some of the best endurance racecars around, such as the turbocharged, slant-nose 935 of the 1970s and the ground-effects-enhanced 956 and 962 of the 1980s. But the company's most famous racecar, its first overall winner at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, was the 917.
The 917 embodied many of Porsche's technological achievements up to that point, such as the company's first 12- and 16-cylinder engines (the flat-16 was never used in competition), fiberglass bodies that implemented early aerodynamic practices and the use of new, exotic materials, such as magnesium and titanium.
The racecar was commissioned by the head of Porsche Motorsports, Ferdinand Piëch, to win overall at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970, after he realized a loophole in the rules that allowed cars to compete with engines up to five liters in the Sport category if they were also production models. Piëch saw opportunity: the top prototype class was restricted to three liters; the production minimum to compete in Sport was 25 cars. And so, with much effort, Porsche assembled 25 "production" 4.5-liter 917s and had them parked in a neat line for the race inspectors to verify their legitimacy. It didn't take long before people realized the new Porsches were much faster than the prototype racers, with a top speed approaching 250 miles per hour.

Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer

An Iconic Sports Car, Restored to Seduce
I have been strapped behind the iconic Momo Prototipo steering wheel for a little more than an hour, all windows down as I carve my way up a rugged canyon during an unusually warm Southern California evening, and I am overwhelmed with emotion. My heart is pounding out of my chest, my breathing is heavy and my palms are sweaty because I am completely absorbed by this wondrous machine.
After waiting patiently for nearly four years, I am finally behind the wheel of a classic Porsche 911 restored, modified and tuned by Singer Vehicle Design. The vehicle that surrounds me never rolled off an automaker's assembly line in its current configuration, yet its physical appearance is timeless, build quality breathtaking and driving dynamics peerless.
