Up for auction is this running 1981 Porsche 924 that i purchased a couple of months ago to restore for my wife.Well things have changed and we just purchased a house and are going to be moving in a few weeks so some of my projects just have to go.Before i go any further ,let me clear a few things up about the car.First of all i have listed the mileage as 100000 which is probably pretty close. The previous owner stated to me that when they purchased the car that the speedometer didnt work so they had a used speedometer put in that read 46000 miles but they never thought about marking down what the original spedometer read.So long story short i figured it would better to say the car has more mileage than it probably does.The odometer reads 46745. One last thing,this car has a clear open Pensylvania title.By open i mean that the title has been signed by previous owner but i have not filled in the purchaser information and have not registered it.OK, now on to about the car.There is a lot to cover here so rather than jumping all over the place about its condition, IM going to list all the good and then all the not so good ! Please be aware that even though this car runs and drives that i would STRONGLY consider it a project car.I would also HIGHLY reccomend that the car be trailored or towed.Remember it is a 26 year old car and things like belt and hoses have a way of going at the worst times! When i purchased the car i was told it had been sitting in the garage for atleast a year and it still has about 1/16 tank of that old fuel in it.
Now the good list. The 2.0 fuel injected engine runs pretty good,doesnt smoke or burn oil and has great oil pressure, 40lb at idle cold ,25 lb at idle when warmed up.at about 2000 rpm oil pressure jumps to about 60 lbs.
Both power windows work but the passenger side is slow going up and down.
Both power mirrors work
There is a new timing belt included (see picture of seat)
all gauges appear to work.
both headlight work,all tail lights work,turn signals work front and rear,emergency flashers work.brake lights work,dash lights work,horn works,steering feels tight,suspension feels tight,brakes good,tranny shifts good and smooth,has a new clutch,pressure plate and throughout bearing (see picture) and new clutch cable.Please note that i removed tha check plate cover to get picture of the clutch and it has since been put back on.Body is solid and i havent noticed any rust underneath the car (see picture).Has an aftermarket chrome muffler with what looks like a stainless pipe and resonater (see picture).All 4 tires are in good useable condition,maybe 12 to 15000 miles left on them.(see picture)
OK, now for all the not so good !!
The rear main seal leaks pretty good and will need to be replaced. The sunroof was sealed with silicone and then topped off with duct tape,yeah what a mess.Well i have removed all the tape and silicone and the sunroof now opens but will need a new gasket and obviously refinishing along with the roof section.(see picture) Carpet is in OK condition as far as ware and tare but VERY dirty! Emergency brake works but needs adjustment.Rear hatch wont stay up but i have replacement lift struts for it that are included.The dash pad is in bad condition but has one of those coverlays on it (plastic cover) Rear view mirror needs to be reglued to the windshield. All of the body side moldings are missing (see pictures) When you look at both sides of the car, those black lines down the sides in the middle are where the mouldings would have been, what you are seeing is the glue that is left.Sun visor clips are missing.Dome light between visors is missing.Headliner behind sunroof is torn.Heater fan works but makse noise (fan is hitting blower housing. AC does not work.Heater, defrost and ac slide controls dont work and i have no idea why,best guess is when they put the stereo in they unhooke everything for some reason and never hooked things back up.This car has some electrical issues,a few examples are that when i first got it none of the light worked,after cleaning some of the fuse terminals all of the lights came to life, including the po up headlights. another example is the wipers did work flawlessly but of course today they didnt .Chances are its a fuse issue again but i really dont have the time to check it out.The radio antenna is broken.The car has been repainted at one time and it was a really amatureish job at best.There are small dings and dents all over the car.There is a small area of rust comming through at the driver side rear wheel oppening (see picture). Driver side exterior door handle sticks a little,inside rod needs adjustment. inside handle works smoothly.Both front seats need to be either reupholstered or just replace seats.Last but not least ,there is whats called a thermo time switch which is bassically a choke for the fuel injection.Well i have had to add a jumper lead to make it function.Just put the jumper on and car start normally then after about 30 seconds unhook and go on your way.Its probably just another electrical issue but i just havent had the time to diagnose it properly.
  Well, i think i have covered just about everything. Oh, all of the pictures were taken today (4/16/13) .Please note that the exterior pictures make the car look a lot better than it actually looks like up close, all of the dings and flaws in the paint didnt show up.If you need more pictures please feel free to email me but please be spicific about what areas you want pictures of.
One last time! In my opinion this is a project car! Also in my opinion this car will need to be either towed or trailored and is not road worthy at this time.
Winning bidder to pay a $100.00 NON REFUNDABLE deposit through Paypal within 24 hours of auction end.Balance to be paid in CASH at time of pickup.Sorry but i do not accept checks of any kind,no exceptions!!! Car is to be removed from my property within 7 days of auction end unless other arrangements have been agreed to BEFORE you bid.
One last note- If the reserve price is not reached i may consider reasonable offers!
Well ,thanks for looking and have a great day!

NFL draft recruits to get Porsche 911s for fastest 40 times

Thu, Feb 5 2015

It's fair to say the NFL Combine is a big deal for players entering a draft. Their future quite literally comes down to a series of drills. You a defensive tackle? Better rock out on the bench press. Hoping to be the next great wide receiver? Your vertical better be awesome. And what of the running backs? Well, few drills match the importance of the 40-yard dash. That particular drill will have a renewed importance not just for the RBs, but for other skill positions at this year's Combine, as the three fastest times will be gifted a shiny new Porsche 911. Adidas is offering up the three cars, which ESPN reports are valued at about $83,000 a piece. That means these new recruits won't be rolling around in a Turbo or GT3. They will, however, sport a questionable sense of design, as the German shoe company has fitted a cheetah print, which is meant to match one of the company's new trainers. You can check both the car and the shoe out above. NFL fans, meanwhile, should feel free to head into Comments and let us know who you think will take home a new 911. Related Video:

Best compact SUVs of 2023 and 2024

Thu, Oct 20 2022

Compact SUVs are now the go-to choice for family transportation. Actually, considering how popular they are, they have clearly moved beyond only family duty. With such popularity, though, comes an awful lot of competitors, and it can be difficult to figure out which one might be the best compact SUV for you.  It's important to note that by "compact SUV" we're talking about a specific segment. As we describe in our more comprehensive "Best small SUVs" list, there are also subcompact SUVs that vary widely in size amongst themselves, but are clearly smaller than the SUVs below. Frankly, today's segment of compact SUVs isn't exactly compact — some have more cargo space than vehicles that are considered midsize based on their exterior dimensions. They've all grown considerably over the years. While many lists out there just rattle off every vehicle available in a segment, we thought we'd be a bit more helpful and curate your shopping a bit with the top-recommended choices reviewed by Autoblog. We've included both mainstream and compact luxury SUV choices. Best compact SUVs of 2023 and 2024 2024 Honda CR-V Why it stands out: Best-in-class space; excellent hybrid powertrain; sharp interior style; Honda dependabilityCould be better: No lower-price base trim levels; no sporty or off-road niche models; no plug-in hybrid Read our full 2024 Honda CR-V Review Consider the CR-V the baseline for any compact SUV search, and look extra closely at the superb CR-V Hybrid option. Objectively speaking, it's tough to beat due to its massive cargo capacity, voluminous back seat, strong-yet-efficient engines, well-balanced driving dynamics, competitive pricing and features,  and well-regarded reliability. It's easy to see why it continues to be such a best-seller: for the vast majority of compact SUV buyers, and especially families, it checks every box. That's been the case for many years now, however. The all-new 2023 Honda CR-V changes things up by adding a bit more style and character, particularly in terms of its interior design and how surprisingly enjoyable the Sport and Sport Touring hybrid trim levels are to drive.

Mercedes-AMG GT S pit against Porsche 911 Turbo in Evo Deadly Rivals test

Fri, May 1 2015

When Mercedes-Benz announced that its all-new AMG GT would start at $129,900 deeply undercutting the $200,000-plus of its predecessor, the SLS AMG, immediate questions focused on how it'd stack up against the latest crop of high performers that occupy the mid-$100,000 range. Evo, over in the UK, didn't have to wait all that long. The latest installment in the outlet's "Deadly Rivals" series compares the AMG GT with the latest Porsche 911 Turbo. On paper, the test is sure to be interesting. The Mercedes uses a 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 with 503 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque, while a seven-speed AMG Speedshift dual-clutch shuffles power to the back axle. The 911 Turbo's formula is more of a known quantity – 520 hp from a twin-turbo, 3.8-liter flat six with the company's own PDK working in unison with all-wheel drive, torque vectoring and rear-axle steering. Of course, we're not going to spoil the results for you. Take a look at the video up top, and let us know what you think of Evo's latest track battle.
