This is a pretty original car resprayed in factory color Tangerine (6809), I am the 3rd register owner I was told by PO that the original owner had owned the car since late 2012 until he passed away. I can verify until 2010 (old registration with name matching the original maintenance manual (pic showing) , 133k miles matching number car, COA in hand to verify. interior in nice condition, slight wear on lower bolster on driver seat, carpet must be newer as it is in great shape, all electronics work except original stereo which is not hooked up and I have not verified if working condition but it does match the COA as a upgrade Becker Europa (clock works but on its own time). Motor has good power but does smoke a bit and typical small drops of oil, it does have Weber Carbs and will backfire periodically on down shift I think its just the idler jets but I haven't check it doesn't happen often,I have been waiting to get in with Benton Performance to check. I am comfortable to drive any distance (took a couple hundred mile drive last weekend. Paint has small chips all over but honestly I had no plans to fix it just looks used shines well, body in nice shape only issues is lower front under bumper appears to have run up on curb and is bent a bit ,back license plate metal has some small dings and deck lid small dent otherwise no signs of accidents. The car is currently registered and still sports its original black plates, car has been in california it whole life. PO put a bottle jack through passenger floor you wouldn't know it from inside not a big deal I put a little clear silicone on it just to keep weather out. Only spot I could see any signs of rust is smaller then pencil eraser under rear window otherwise none.. Has original Fuchs I am told late 60s but I have not checked date stamps (not original to car as COA shows chrome steelies) new tires ,glass is original stamped Sekurit front windshield in Sigla stamped from west Germany no chips or cracks,headliner great, PO mention that the pan under the tank was replaced but it was done so well I couldn't tell. 


Car is Sold AS-IS .. 

I attempted to explain the best I could but as always its best to come see for yourself. I plan on taking to Dana Point Concour Sunday the 22nd if any locals wanted to see.

Lastly i had no plans to sell this anytime soon but I just bought a 356 speedster and need to replenish my daughters wedding fund..

Deposit require after auction ends , if you bid you are required to purchase if you are the high bidder and reserve has been met, i will not disclose the reserve but may lift it get close. 

I am listing locally so if I get my asking price I may pull auction but if reserve is hit I will pull the local ad and sell to highest bidders, thanks..

2015 Porsche Cayman GTS

Thu, 29 May 2014

The Porsche Boxster and Cayman will forever nip at the heels of their big brother, the 911 Carrera, and perpetuating this tradition are the latest GTS variants, which add yet another arrow to the quiver of the plucky mid-engined platform.
The GTS' performance enhancements boost horsepower by a mere 15 and shave a tenth from 0 to 60, but Porsche's clever product planners and engineers have stuck to their familiar formula in making the Cayman GTS more desirable than the Boxster for dyed-in-the-wool performance enthusiasts. More on that shortly.
Laps around Spain's Circuito Mallorca RennArena and the nearby Serra de Tramuntana mountain range would shed further light on how the GTS differentiates itself from lesser Caymans.

Autocar pits Porsche 911 Turbo S against Formula 4 racer

Fri, 20 Jun 2014

There is a long-running argument among performance car fans: power vs. weight. In one corner you get cars generally with small engines making modest numbers but able to corner like they are telepathic, and in the other there are big thumping mills that are rocketships in a straight line but lumber in the turns. Autocar takes an interesting look this continuum in a recent video pitting a 552-hp Porsche 911 Turbo S against a 185-hp Formula 4 racecar. It hopes to find whether the Porsche's huge power advantage is enough to defeat the better grip and aero offered by the nimble racer.
There's no doubt that the Porsche is an utterly fantastic road car. The 911 Turbo looks mean with all of those intakes to suck in cool air, and it backs up the posture with huge amounts of grip available thanks to its all-wheel drive-system. However, at 3,538 pounds, it's a bit of a porker compared to the 1,135-pound Formula 4 car. The open-wheel car boasts just a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder from Ford and a six-speed sequential-manual gearbox, but it has loads of downforce to make up for it.
It shouldn't be a surprise that the formula car wins in the corners. After all, that's what it's made for. So do you think the massive horsepower superiority of the Porsche is enough to even the playing field? Scroll down to watch the video and find out, and even if you're not curious of the winner the 911 does some mean powerslides.

Genesis cars win accolades, offer value — so why are sales so bad?

Tue, Jul 31 2018

My high-school buddy Brent Cormier was so smitten with the Genesis G80 when he saw it at an event I hosted at SXSW in 2016 he bought a used 2013 Hyundai Genesis a short time later and fell in love with the car. "It surpasses my every expectation," said Cormier, a self-described "renaissance man" who owns and runs a real estate agency with his wife Laura, is a food service executive chef and part owner of Austin-based Thin the Herd Guitars. "I was locked into Mercedes and Audi for 10 years," he added. "And felt trapped in an endless pit of maintenance costs." After owning the Genesis over the past two years — including using it as an Uber and Lyft driver to earn extra cash — Cormier learned what some frugal luxury sedan buyers and a handful of car reviewers have discovered: Genesis offers great bang for the buck compared to other premium brands and can compete with the best in terms of performance, features and comfort. Hyundai's luxury brand also earned a prominent third-party endorsement last week when for the first time Genesis topped J.D. Power's 2018 APEAL study, surpassing German luxury-performance icon Porsche. The APEAL study (which stands for Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout) "measures owners' emotional attachment and level of excitement across 77 attributes," ranging from performance to comfort, and asks nearly 68,000 owners of new 2018 models to score vehicles on a 1,000-point scale. In its second year ranked as a stand-alone brand, Genesis earned an APEAL score that bumped it up 15 points to 884 and helped push it past Porsche — and past BMW, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo, Cadillac, Land Rover and Lexus, in order of ranking. Last month, Genesis also topped J.D. Power's Initial Quality Survey (IQS) for the first time this year. And both its models were awarded Top Safety Pick Plus ratings by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, among 11 Plus ratings in all for Korean vehicles. Despite high J.D. Power rankings and great reviews, Genesis U.S. sales were off 50 percent for the first six months of 2018 compared to 2017, and in June Genesis sold only 796 vehicles — the first time U.S. numbers dropped below 1,000 in a month. Part of Genesis's APEAL and IQS success can be attributed to its small product lineup: just two models, the G80 and G90 sedans, with a third, the 2019 G70, launching later this year. And while those numbers may help in J.D.
