This 1980 Porsche 933 is one of sixteen 924 chassis cars factory developed in Weissach and delivered to Holbert Racing in Pennsylvania in preparation for SCCA D-Production competition. This was Holbert chassis #2, serial number 92A0490002, which at the hands of its first owner competed in D-Production and when that class was eliminated it was upgraded to GT-3 specs. With its second owner at the wheel, the car became arguably the most successful GT-3 924 in history, with six track records, an overall NASPORT championship and 4th at the runoffs in 1991. A number of period pictures, articles, factory letters and race results are included. Although the car has only one test day on it since a complete engine, trans, and shock rebuild, it has been in storage since 2006 and needs freshening
These cars were designed by the factory to race in SCCA D Production Championship. The Porsche project number of these race cars was 933. Only 16 were built by the factory. If you had the right connections, you could buy the parts as a kit from Porsche to convert your street car into a fully race-ready 924.

Ownership history of 1980 Porsche 924 DP – #92A0490002 – “Holbert car # 2”
Stefan Edlis:
Originally purchased through, and built by, Holbert Racing in Warrington, PA and raced under Apollo Plastics livery (car #10 and #15) in SCCA D-Production and GT-3 classes. The car was heavily modified to compete in GT-3 by David Finch, owner of Raetech Motorsports Engineering of Ann Arbor, MI. The suspension and chassis were completely redesigned. Extensive lightening, gusseting and other custom fabrication is visible everywhere. (Finch is a 6-time SCCA GT-2 National Champion driving in a Porsche 944. Finch used the knowledge gained from the Edlis conversion for his own 944 GT-2 build.) Finch believes that Holbert only built 3 complete factory cars: One that Doc Bundy drove to the 1980 DP championship, Edlis’s car and a show car now owned by Tom Brennan.). Edlis raced against and ultimately with Tom Brennan (1981 SCCA DP National Champion in Holbert 924 DP # 1).
Don Meluzio:
Purchased car from Edlis in 1988. Meluzio ran the car under Porsche Model Club livery (car #53). Meluzio won NASPORT championship in 1991 (12 wins, 9 poles, 6 track records) and again 1994. Third in Runoffs in 1989, fourth in 1991 (continuous Runoffs in the 924 from 88-92). Meluzio finished 9th in 1991 Porsche Cup, 15th in 1989 Porsche Cup and traveled to Germany for the ceremonies. Letters from J"urgen Barth (Porsche Head of Customer Racing) and Bob Carlson (Porsche Manager of Racing) congratulating him on his success. The car held the GT-3 track record at 6 tracks, including Lime Rock Park for many years with a 0:58 second lap. It has dozens of SCCA National Event wins to its credit. Meluzio’ s crew chief was Vic Biser. Michael Stimpson did the head and cam work.
Tom Scheuren:
Scheuren ran the car under the Diablo Racing banner (car #53) in SCCA regional and national events from 1993 – 1998. The car was parked in favor of a GT-1 effort in the Rolex Endurance Series. In 2005, Scheuren had the engine, trans and shocks rebuilt and it only one test day at Watkins Glen. It has been in storage since 2006.
This 924 would be competitive in SCCA GT-3 today and would likely dominate the small bore classes of SVRA and PCA. Due to the extended storage, the seller suggests that the head will need to be pulled to replace valve springs, fluids changed, seat belts updated ect before taking it to the track.
This car has been extensively modified, it doesnt have a vin number but the parts alone are worth more then the asking price and the history on the car is solid. It will be sold with a bill of sale.
The Engine is currently disassembled to a short block. The seller is willing to reassemble the body and or pack parts inside the car for shipping.
I’m listing this car for a friend of mine, I’m not the owner. Please get in touch through Ebay messaging let’s have a brief conversation and then I’ll put you in touch with the seller. Buyer to pay me (Uplife) a non-refundable deposit within 24 hours then arrange final payment and shipping with the seller.
This car is located in New Port Richey, Florida (West coast, North of Tampa).

2014 Porsche Cayman S
Tue, 19 Feb 2013A Blue-Blooded Valentine
I need you to understand what it's like to drive this car. I'm not talking about your ability to comprehend the words on this page or process the figures that surround the 2014 Porsche Cayman S, but rather what it feels like to take control of a car conceived, designed, engineered and manufactured to set your prefrontal cortex alight with all the glee a Zippo typically reserves for pine needles marinated in jet fuel. From the instant you put your tail in the driver's seat, the Cayman sets about impregnating your veins with a full and varied spectrum of ludicrous emotion. It's not like taking the family pickup to market, I can tell you that much.
For 2014, the next-generation Cayman features many of the same styling tweaks first displayed on the coupe's drop-top cousin, the Boxster, though a spate of mechanical changes, more power, less weight and better efficiency join the party to further differentiate this model from its predecessor. And while additions like rev-matched downshifts and electronic power steering help push the Cayman into a new era, one fact remains unchanged: This is one of the best driving cars on the market. Period. Bear with me and I'll try to explain exactly why that is.
Petrolicious details why the Porsche 911 is something special
Thu, 26 Sep 2013The Porsche 911 is a special car, if for no other reasons than it's been continuously produced since 1964, with nearly every generation regarded as being at or near the top of its class. But why the rear-engined icon has done so well among enthusiasts and regular drivers alike can't always be explained easily. To truly understand the 911, you have to experience the whole package, and that means driving one.
While just about every publication has raved about the Porsche, commercial director, race driver, photographer and 911 owner Jeff Zwart explains to Petrolicious why he was drawn to the legend as a young child, and why he still loves them today.
Zwart's professional and personal life are inextricably linked to the 911, and hearing him talk about the car and its history makes for fascinating viewing. Watch the video below to hear Zwart's story and see him drive a couple examples from his collection: an early 911 and the 964-generation Carrera 4 he won Pikes Peak with for the first time - a car that happens to be equipped with the 959 Paris-Dakar's fascinating torque-split transmission. Enjoy!
Porsche finally moving ahead with flat four engine
Sun, 23 Mar 2014When Porsche released the first Boxster in 1996 and the first Cayman in 2005, the idea was to create an entry-level model for the German automaker's sports car range. The latest iterations of both closely related models, however, have begun to encroach dangerously on the 911's territory, particularly in their newest GTS specifications. That could be about to change, however, with the introduction of a four-cylinder engine for the compact mid-engined coupe and roadster.
According to Automotive News, Porsche is finally preparing to launch a new boxer four engine in the Boxster and Cayman, following years of speculation. The engine would be based on the same architecture as the company's famous flat six, but with two fewer cylinders to cut weight. Don't expect it to cut much in the way of performance, however: Porsche chief Matthias Muller indicates that the new engine could produce as much as 395 horsepower - significantly more than even the 340hp flat six in the Cayman GTS, suggesting that the engine could even find its way into the 911 as well.
It's no more clear which markets would get the four-cylinder engine, either. But wherever it is offered and in whichever form, it wouldn't be the first time we'd see a Porsche with a four-pot engine. Not by a long shot. Both the classic 912 and 356 were powered by boxer fours, as was the 914 - not to mention the 718 pictured above and the iconic 550 Spyder. The front-engined 924, 944 and 968 packed inline-four engines, but the last of those were discontinued in the 1990s. The prospect of a four-cylinder Boxster/Cayman has been rumored for many years now, most recently joined by the possibility of a four-pot Macan as well.
