1978 Porsche 924, Track Car...turn Key And Go Race, Also Street Legal on 2040-cars
Fargo, North Dakota, United States
1978 Porsche 924 Track Car. This car is track ready, tech inspected and recently ran at Brainerd,MN International Raceway. Built by Bill Katz (Katz Klassics) in the mid 90s near Pittsburgh. Bill is known for his work on European cars and built this car for his wife to drive at the track. Built with many upgrades to engine, transmission and suspension. I visited with Bill about the car before I bought it and he said he built it with the "best of the best". Procar by Scat race seat and race alignment/setup make for a fun car to get into track time at BIR. It's also street legal. Bottom line is that this car was built by an expert and is fun to drive at the track. I have five new RARE 14 inch Hoosier race tires and five Porsche rims worth well over $1,500 that I am willing to include. Purchased the car last summer and went through the brake system, new inner wheel and outer wheel bearings and a new strut to replace one that was leaking. This car had no problem passing track tech inspection. I visited with Bill regarding what he put into the car, he recently told me: Turbo fuel pump, Audi 5cy trubo fuel pressure valve regulator, throttle body was ported out, adjustable cam gear, Ansa exhaust system off turbo model. He also lowered the car with a spring kit. Other details I know about the car: 2.0 single overhead cam, long tume headers, Wiseco Pistons 0.50 over, 79 transmission for shorter gear ratio, KYB shocks, Procar by Scat Race seat, 5 point harness and OEM 3 point on driver and passenger sides (for ride a longs), MSD wires and Coil, Motor painted to match the color of car, very little rust - was stored most of its life, BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires - same tire Bill put on in the 90s. Plenty of tread for cruising the town, Roll Cage, Working turning signals, lights and brake lights. (Note: headlights must be turned up manually and the windshield wipers don't work) I didn't fix either because I didn't need either to run at track. Really looking forward to driving this car this fall but need to sell. Great opportunity to get into a track car for very little money. Please email me with any questions. Thanks for looking. |

Porsche board members facing another ˆ1.8B lawsuit over VW takeover bid
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Back in 2008, Porsche got the bright idea that it could take over Volkswagen in the midst of the worst economic slump since the Great Depression. Ignoring that this was a catastrophic move for the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer that that eventually resulted in it nearly going bankrupt and eventually being taken over by the same company it sought to control, the aftermath has left Porsche Chairman Wolfgang Porsche and board member Ferdinand Piëch in the crosshairs of seven hedge funds that lost out during the takeover and are now seeking €1.8 billion - $2.43 billion US - in damages from the two execs, according to the BBC.
See, investors bet on Volkswagen's share price going down, partially because Porsche said it wasn't going to attempt a takeover. But Porsche was attempting to take over VW, having bought up nearly 75-percent of VW's publicly traded shares. When word broke that Porsche owned nearly three-quarters of VW (which indicated an imminent takeover attempt), rather than go down like the hedge funds bet it would, VW's share price skyrocketed to over 1,000 euros per share, according to Reuters.
Naturally, when you bet that a company's share price is going to drop and it in turn (temporarily) becomes the world's most valuable company, you lose a lot of money, unless you're able to buy up shares before prices jump too much. This led to a squeeze on the stock, which the hedge funds accuse Porsche and Piëch (who are both members of the Porsche family and supervisory board) of organizing.
Porsche acquires ANDIAL, will integrate with in-house motorsports
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Porsche has purchased longtime motorsports and tuning house ANDIAL.
The Fountain Valley, California-based tuning house ANDIAL has been around since 1975, when it was formed by the Arnold Wagner, Dieter Inzenhofer and Alwin Springer (the company got its name by combining two letters from each of their names). The three men met while working in a Porsche dealership in Southern California and then left to start a business that would put Porsches in victory lane all over the country.
Porsches prepared by ANDIAL won IMSA GT and Supercar Series championships, the SCCA World Challenge, four Pikes Peak class titles and the 24 Hours of Daytona six times. Alwin Springer left the company in 1997 to run Porsche Motorsport North America until 2004 and remains a consultant with PMNA, Wagner passed away in 2011 and Inzenhofer plans to retire this year. ANDIAL is still a going concern, Inzenhofer presiding over a scaled-down engine parts and restoration business. But Inzenhofer is retiring at month's end, making it a good time for Porsche to step in and take over the company's operations.
Porsche 911 GT3 RS revealed in patent photos
Fri, 01 Aug 2014Porsche has been taking its time developing the most hardcore 911 models for the latest 991 chassis. While the GT3 has been on the market for a little while, it suffered from some teething issues. The 911 GT3 RS is certainly on the radar since being spotted testing, but it's always better to get a look at a new car without all of the camo to hide the coolest parts. Thankfully, Car in the UK has some patent photos of the RS ahead of its debut, and they show off one mean-looking 911.
The first thing that you notice about the RS is that Porsche clearly isn't afraid to rework the latest 911's shape for its track-focused version. Each piece is slightly resculpted to squeeze the most out of it. Up front, the air dam has the same shape to the earlier photos. They also both highlight the upcoming model's tiny air inlet at the tip of the hood, the massive intakes in the rear fenders and general design of the rear wing with a ducktail underneath. The bubbled roof is much clearer here, where it was disguised in spy shots. You can also spot the slashing fender gills behind the front wheels that are a completely new feature.
The GT3 RS is the ultimate naturally aspirated 911 for the street, but according to Car, Porsche aims to take that even farther with the latest model. If these are the looks, then it's working. Unfortunately, the new version's powerplant remains a mystery. Though, given all the changes to the bodywork, the engine is almost surely getting tweaked over the 475-horsepower GT3. The RS is rumored to hit the road and be screaming down the track in 2015.
