I've had this car for a few years and upgrades during that time have included new paint in the original color of Bahia Red, new leather seat upholstery, restoration of the 911 Fuchs wheels, new tires, new clutch, new windshield, new light lenses, and many other small details. The previous owner (of 15 years) upgraded the car to 911 suspension, 911 brakes, and Bilstein shocks. Needless to say, it handles and stops like a dream.

This car still has its original fuel injection and fires right up without delay every time. It's a good-looking, excellent-running, and fun driver, yet it is far from flawless. Items that still require attention include (but are not limited to):

  • Passenger outside door latch not working. There's a small plastic piece inside these that is probably broken. The door opens fine from the inside.
  • The previous owner installed an aggressively low front valence (see photos). I recently removed this in order to make dealing with driveways and speed bumps less annoying, however I will include the valence with the sale.
  • Dashboard needs to be replaced or recovered.
  • After having the car repainted, the rear trunk lid fit is a little off on the passenger side (see photos). I don't know what the painters did to cause this and I don't know how to repair it on my own or I would have done it prior to putting the car up for sale. It's only a minor cosmetic flaw, yet I wouldn't leave the car sitting out on a rainy day just in case water might be able to leak into the trunk. In fact, I wouldn't leave this car sitting out on a rainy day anyway.
  • All window seals (except for the windshield, which was recently replaced) are old and most likely original. It's probably time to replace them. In the meantime, there will be wind noise if you drive with the top on and the windows up. (Yeah, right. Like you're actually going to be driving this toy with the top on and the windows up!)
  • It leaks oil. You want to place something under the car to prevent staining your garage floor. I've looked into repairing this, and have basically been told that it's something that should be addressed (engine seals) when I'm ready to completely rebuild the motor. Since the car runs strong, I've decided to just live with the oil leak in the meantime.
  • There might be other things I'm not thinking about at the moment. Come see it in person!

I prefer local buyers so that you can see the car in person first. That said, the last two cars I sold on eBay went out of state and the buyers were happy (see my feedback). If you want it shipped, you make the arrangements. Also, I prefer cash, but PayPal will work as well. If you have another method of payment in mind, please contact me to discuss this BEFORE making on offer or clicking on Buy It Now.

Porsche tells 2014 911 GT3 owners to park their cars pending inspection

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

Porsche may have have a serious problem on its hands. After a rumored five 2014 911 GT3 coupes caught fire in recent weeks, Porsche launched an investigation and stopped delivering its road-ready racecar until it could diagnose the problem. Now, it has issued a press release asking all 2014 911 GT3 owners to immediately stop driving their cars until they can be inspected. Porsche is offering to pick up the cars from owners' homes and take them to the nearest dealer.
Porsche confirms that the at least two 911 GT3 coupes them have caught fire in Europe, and it has elected to inspect all 785 2014 GT3s worldwide. However, it claims no drivers have been injured in the fires. Unfortunately, Porsche says, "Internal studies to determine the cause of the engine damage have not been completed yet," so owners might have a bit of a wait before they are able to drive Porsche's ultimate 911 again. Scroll down to read the entire press release.

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.

Porsche spotted testing next-gen Panamera in the snow

Thu, Jan 22 2015

It's winter testing season in northern Sweden, and the latest spy shots our paparazzi on the ground have brought us is the upcoming Porsche Panamera testing in the cold and snow. The upcoming new four-door Porsche, spied wearing only minimal camouflage, appears to have a more elegant and sloping roofline than the existing model. Other details like the lights, mirrors and grille openings look fairly consistent with what we've been seeing on Porsche's other models as they've trickled out. Based on the new MSB platform, the new Panamera is set to share its underpinnings with the next Bentley Continental and possibly an Audi variant as well – though the prospect of a Lamborghini version to follow the Estoque concept seems to be off the table. The new platform will, however, make the new Panamera lighter than the current model. A new range of V6 and V8 engines are expected to provide motivation, driving the rear wheels or all four, along with the available e-hybrid system. Porsche's first four-door sedan was introduced in 2009 and underwent a facelift in 2013, so the all-new second-generation model should arrive sometime later this year or next as a 2017 model. This new model could provide the impetus for Porsche to put the Sport Turismo shooting brake version into production as well, and maybe – just maybe – a two-door coupe and possible convertible versions to follow in the footsteps of the 928.
