JUST RECENTLY OUT OF 25 YEAR STORAGE! ALWAYS GARAGED! ALL GONE THROUGH AND SERVICED! RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT! Up for auction with NO RESERVE!!! is a true, rust free, California 1966 Porsche. Looks can be deceiving on this beautiful Porsche. Changes were made throughout the early 1980's and is not your average stock original Porsche. We have a poster board of this car in magazines and also a few pics of the car before it was completely stock to see it was a perfect unmolested rust free candidate. I understand that today someone would be hung for doing such a thing to such a nice original car, but you have to remember this was started in the early 1980's when you couldn't give these cars away. The concept was to improve and enhance the style and appearance and increase the power capability. It is most obvious in the engine compartment where a Chevy 350 V8 now resides as the power plant for this car. The engine runs well and sounds great. Parts for routine maintenance are easily available and economical. This makes most Porsche owners envious. What makes this so car so cool is you never have to smog it in any state!! That alone is worth tons!! To do this properly and achieve a vehicle that looks and performs like a factory made product, hours and hours of time and experience are in this car and it shows. The end result is a very uniquely styled and preforming Porsche. The body has a 930 Carrera body kit which consists of turbo flares front and rear, a front bumper with air scoop, rear bumpers, whale tale, right and left lower side rails, right and left turn signal lamps, right and left mirrors, right and left tail lights, left side rear fog lamp and center Porsche insignia. Only the seats, some gauges, and the steering wheel have been changed on the interior and the rest is original to the car in amazing shape!! The seats are now Recaros. The fans, water pump and gauges are all electrical. The gas tank has been modified to accommodate the new radiator. The flow of the radiator is left to right and has dual 10's fans mounted on a triple row core radiator. The radiator has a hand-made sheet metal housing that was added to improve the appearance. The stock Porsche engine was replaced with a Chevrolet 350 V8 which fits perfectly. Everything else is stock Porsche. Porsche motor mounts, gas, throttle and adapter plate have been hand fabricated using the stock 350 V8 motor mounts. The difference in weight is only 10 pounds. Mechanical gauges are located on the upper right hand side of the engine bay. The distributor cap is a crab type for easy removal and replacement. The suspension is stock Porsche. The trans axle is also stock Porsche. The exhaust system is custom. The 350 V8 has headers flowing back through turbo mufflers. The fuchs wheels are polished aluminum wrapped in BF Goodrich 160/60/16's in the front and monster 280/70/15's in the back. All four corners are disk brakes. The transmission shifts smoothly through all the gears and there is plenty of pressure on the clutch. The paint is in good condition for its age and shines up nicely. There are a few little nicks here and there from normal driving. The glass is in good condition with tint and no cracks. The doors close properly and the windows roll up and down as they should. The head lights work, the tail lights work, the signals work, the brake lights work, the fog lamps work and the high beams work, the gas gauge has seemed to quit working. This car is a blast to drive and is very unique compared to other early under-powered Porsches' out there. It is a sleeper, no one will have any idea there is a V8 in there until you step on the gas. The interior seats are now Recaros and are a fantastic upgrade to the originals. The back seats are original to the car and are perfect. The carpet is in great shape and clean. The cell phone from the 1980's is included with the car and a great conversation piece! This is your chance to get not only own a unique Porsche, but a CLASSIC Porsche at the same time!

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'
Mon, 27 Oct 2014The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
Watch Evo pick its 2015 Car of the Year in this epic video
Mon, Dec 7 2015With just a few days left in 2015, it's the perfect time to check out Evo's annual Car of the Year test to determine the greatest performance vehicle of the last 12 months. The writers' picks for the 11 finalists spanned a breadth of engaging models and included: Peugeot 208 GTi by Peugeot Sport, Lamborghini Aventador SV, Seat Leon Cupra Sub8, McLaren 675LT, Porsche 991 GT3 RS, Porsche Cayman GT4, Honda Civic Type R, Ferrari 488 GTB, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Lotus Evora 400, and Mercedes-AMG GT S. For the venue to test the mettle of these performance machines, Evo stuck close to home this year and visited the twisting roads at the beautiful north coast of Scotland. Racing brothers Marino and Dario Franchitti also came along for the ride to provide two more voices in the competitive challenge to determine a winner. Evo's video explains why each model deserves to be among such rarified company but doesn't gloss over their faults either. There can be only one winner, though. We don't want to spoil it, so check out the clip for magnificent views of these performance machines through the Scottish countryside.
