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!

eGarage video features Helmuth Bott's personal Porsche 959 prototype

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

"We thought we were going to build a super-911," said Peter Schutz, former CEO of Porsche AG of the development of the Porsche 959. That was before it started getting expensive. At that point, Helmuth Bott, Porsche R&D director got frightened. Costs ballooned because of the all-wheel drive, sequential turbocharging and other technology Porsche had never even thought about when it set out to build a 911 to compete in Group B. Schutz continued, "The amount of resources we were committing got totally out of hand." Instead of pulling the plug, Bott doubled down and drew on the strength of his brilliant team to build a car whose impact is still echoing aross the industry.
"It's probably one of our most prized possessions" says Don Leatherwood, Director of the Brumos collection where Dr. Bott's personal prototype resides, and where Frazer Spowart went to see the car and create a video for eGarage. Check out the sights and sounds of the 959 before it was the 959, and get personal takes on the car from Hurley Haywood, Peter Schutz and Don Leatherwood. Keep reading to see the video.

Porsche's Mauer recalls the history of the 918 Spyder, hints about next-gen 911

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

The night before Porsche handed me the keys to its 2015 Macan to drive on both road and track, the company threw together a great dinner for the assembled media in Leipzig. Hosted in Porsche's spaceship-shaped customer delivery center in the eastern German town, I'll admit that I spent the bulk of my night grabbing hors d'oeuvres from passing waiters (they do a nice tuna sashimi), milling around a collection of historic and interesting vehicles on the top floor and gulping down Warsteiner.
In an era of mega car companies, the story of how the 918 came to be was really refreshing.
Before the evening was over, however, Porsche design chief Michael Mauer stopped by my table to exchange pleasantries and thank us all for coming out to drive the Macan. My fellow diners and I passed a pleasant half-hour or more picking the brain of the forthcoming Mauer, and somehow or another, the topic turned to Porsche's newest supercar, the 918 Spyder. In an era of mega car companies (the Volkswagen Group included) and massive development teams, the story of how the 918 came to be is really refreshing.

Porsche gives Nick Murray exactly what he deserved [w/video]

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

The tale of Nick Murray and his lemon Porsche 911 appears to have come to a satisfactory end. As noted in the original story about Murray, he and Porsche Cars North America met and came to a resolution. However, we didn't know exactly what that meant, until now.
Murray has created a new video explaining that PCNA offered to buy back the car at full price or give him an exact replacement for it. This was exactly what he was asking for. Murray remains pro-Porsche in the new video. "I am definitely considering reordering a Porsche 911," he says.
Porsche also posted a message on its Facebook page that clarified the situation. "We at Porsche have always sought excellence in all that we do. We know you expect it of us. And when we don't meet that standard, we make every effort to improve," said a portion of the note.
