Any wonder why nice restored examples are fetching upwards of $35K here on Ebay;  because this is the perfect sports car.  Grace, handling, economy and plenty of power.  This particular example is CLEAN and partially restored.  Originally an Arizona car that was brought to CA about 3 years ago.  During that time much work has been done, with recent receipts totaling $11,500.  I have not owned this car for long, having traded the previous owner for an Alfa in my collection.   I have too many projects on my hands and hope this example goes to someone who can finish the restoration while it continues to noticeably appreciate.  According to my mechanic, the muffler will need to be replaced and the carbs adjusted afterwards to get her running properly.  Right now the carbs tend to chirp a little bit at idle and while accelerating.  The engine was gone through by Gary Betz in Saticoy and has less than 1000 miles since the rebuild.  I have all the receipts for his warrantied work which includes rebuilding and the new 44 EMPI "Weber" carbs that are now installed.  The valves were adjusted two weeks ago.  She has plenty of power and doesn't smoke. The 4-speed transmission shifts into all gears without a problem.   New parts include: BRAKES AND BRAKE LINES, SUSPENSION, BILSTEIN SHOCKS, BATTERY, 4 FALKEN ZE-502 205/50/15 TIRES, PORSCHE CORBEAU SPORT SEATS AND BRACKETS, FULL CARPET SET AND SOUND INSULATION, COCOA MATS, DOOR SEALS, WINDOW FELT, QUARTER WINDOW SEALS, REAR WINDOW SEAL.  All of which have been installed at great expense.  Car is straight and I have not detected any accidents or filler.  PAN, ROCKERS AND WHEEL WELLS ARE CLEAN as seen in the photos.  Paint is in nice shape with only a few minor touch-ups.  The dash has 3 cracks and is covered by a dash mat.  All instruments function except the clock.  Headliner and door cards are original.  Glass is all nice.  All electrical systems function.  Some of the body rubber is brittle and needs replacement as shown i.e. bumpers, hood, wind wings, rocker trim, windshield. There are also a few minor dings to the front and rear bumpers as shown.   Car comes with original tool kit, jack, owner's manual and original spare 15" steel wheel. I have a clear CA title and can ship to any foreign port.  I have described this vehicle to the best of my abilities.  It is up to the potential buyer to ask all questions and request additional pictures if necessary.  I want to make certain you receive the car you were expecting. I can show the vehicle during the course of the auction.  I am an hour's drive North of Los Angeles.  Inspections must be done prior to auction's end and not afterwards.  No joy rides.  I reserve the right to end this auction early because the car is advertised locally.  THIS IS AN AS-IS SALE.  I require a non-refundable deposit of $500. to Paypal within 24 hours of auction's end.  Balance due within 7 days in CASH, CASHIER'S CHECK (MUST CLEAR MY BANK BEFORE RELEASING CAR AND TITLE) OR BANK WIRE.  Car must be claimed by buyer or agent within 2 weeks of auction's close or a $5/day storage fee applies.  NO EXCEPTIONS.  I will gladly work with your transporter.

The 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona: What we learned, what we saw

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

Two days after the flag dropped on the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, people are still trying to figure out what it might portend for the rest of the season. In 24 hours, two minutes and 24 seconds, 695 laps were completed by the car that crossed the line first. During that time, 67 cars began the race, 18 of them retired. There was that accident, and a red flag. There were supposedly slower classes beating supposedly faster classes. There were 16 caution periods, including that yellow flag. And then there was The Decision. And Then The Uproar. And then The Reversal.
There was also some pretty good racing, so let's have one last look at the weekend. Oh, and there was that 1964 Ferrari 250 GTO Series II...
If you want to skip the reading bits and go to the photos, there's a high-res gallery of 158 images above and a couple more below. Enjoy.

Porsche 918 Spyder gets tiny recall for rear control arms

Tue, 09 Sep 2014

As the recent US recall of a single Koenigsegg Agera shows, even low-production supercars aren't immune from safety campaigns. Now, there's another example that even the fastest cars can have their faults. The Porsche 918 Spyder is a pretty fantastic vehicle for its ability to mix hybrid fuel economy and incredible amounts of power, but Porsche has a problem on a few units of its halo model.
According to the recall document from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Porsche needs to inspect and possibly repair five 918s in the US because the rear axle control arms may break, which could cause a loss of control while driving. In the full defect notice, Porsche says that it first noticed the problem on June 26 when the parts failed during "heavy duty durability testing (extreme race conditions)" at the Nardo test track in Italy. It transported the components back to the company's lab for inspection, and on July 18 it issued a stop-sale to inspect the suspension parts on the supercar. The automaker also contacted owners by phone to warn them not to use the car on track, until repaired.
The affected 918s will be inspected, and if the cars have the bad parts, the control arms are will be replaced. Obviously, this will be done at no cost to owners. According to a Porsche spokesperson speaking to Autoblog, in addition to the five US cars potentially affected, there were 45 worldwide. All of the cars have now been checked.
