1. I’m selling my 1978 Porsche 930 turbo. I have owned the car since 1986. When I bought the car from a private party I was informed that the mileage on the odometer was not guaranteed to be accurate, mainly because the car is a “Grey Market” car shipped from Germany to United States. Currently the odometer reads 54,669, which most likely represents the miles driven in the United States. I drove the car about 15,000 miles. The car should be considered as a project car. It has been garaged since 1992. Back in 1992 it was blowing the fuse for the fuel pump and leaking some oil and I intended to get it fixed but one thing lead to another and it just sat there. Title is clean, and I own the car free and clear. It was inspected and approved by Washington State Patrol when I bought it and is tagged accordingly, Control number 57332. Here’s a list of flaws and defects I know of. There may be more that I’m unaware of.

· Clutch does not engage, it was working fine in 1992 but now when you push the pedal it doesn’t engage and feels “spongy”.

· Car doesn’t roll easily; I think the disc brakes may be sticking some.

· Driver window stuck down, it blew the window fuse when I tried to roll it up. Worked fine in 1992

· Passenger door won’t open. Linkage seems to be stuck. Again opened fine in 1992

· Oil cooler, located near front right wheel is leaking slowly.

· Engine leaks oil or something leaking near engine compartment. Car has been sitting in the same spot for a number of years so I know its leaking by oil stain on garage floor.

· Front hood spring doesn’t hold up hood, must place something to keep it up.

· Engine did turn over fine back in 1992, but I haven’t tried to turn over recently because I don’t want to cause any damage.

· Car was originally light blue in color, was painted charcoal grey before I owned it. There are a few very small spots where blue is showing through.

· Slight scratches on front right of car.

· Crack in paint on rear left of car.

· Front spoiler rubber shows wear.

· Small rust spot on front right near headlight.

· Seats show some wear in places.

· I’m missing one of rear floor mats.

Porsche acquires ANDIAL, will integrate with in-house motorsports

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

Porsche 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.

Why you must buy an air-cooled Porsche 911 now

Fri, 14 Feb 2014

"Because" might be a good response to our headline, but as a vintage (purists might call 'proper') Porsche 911 is hardly cheap, we suspect you'll need a better explanation than that. Enter Drive editor Mike Spinelli.
Spinelli sits down with Zac Moseley and Mick Prichinello from Classic Car Club Manhattan to first explain why the market for old, air-cooled 911s has gotten so hot over the past few years, and to discuss if it's a bubble that's about to burst. Following that, this video is really is just three guys sitting around talking about old Porsches for 35 minutes. Which, you know, we're pretty onboard with.
Scroll down and have a look at the latest episode of After/Drive, from Drive.

Alonso wants an NSX, but did Honda block him from Le Mans?

Tue, Jan 20 2015

One of the biggest changes in store for the 2015 Formula One World Championship will see Fernando Alonso moving back to McLaren. That means he'll be driving under Honda power for the first time, after spending the bulk of his career driving for Renault and Ferrari. And being Honda's new poster child, as the two-time World Champion is fast discovering, has its advantages and its drawbacks. According to the latest reports, Alonso had been negotiating a clause in his contract with McLaren that could have seen him driving a Porsche 919 Hybrid at Le Mans this year, but Honda reportedly stepped in at the last minute and scuttled the plan. The drive would have been Alonso's first in the famous 24-hour race, after having had the honor of waving the flag at La Sarthe last summer. In one of the wilder rumors that emerged during the prolonged silence over his move for this season, the Spaniard was also linked to a potential return for Ferrari to Le Mans. That prospect came to naught, and now the Porsche deal has been wheeled into the garage, as well. The upcoming F1 season is expected to be one of transition, adjustment and development for McLaren and Honda, but the Japanese automaker's involvement in his hiring may not be all bad news for Alonso. Following the reveal of the new Acura NSX, Alonso tweeted "You still don't know, but one day we will be together..." followed by a series of heart-eyed smiley-face emoticons and accompanies by images of Honda's new supercar. The implication is that the two-time World Champion is expecting to get his talented hands on an NSX of his own, and we can certainly see how Honda would appreciate the imagery of Fernando driving around in its flagship. Even if it doesn't, though, we're sure McLaren would be glad to hook him up with a company car of its own – though Lewis Hamilton encountered some trouble securing (a very specific) one for himself. Even discounting the front-running F1 machinery he's been tasked with piloting on track to an impressive 32 career wins, Alonso has had some lustworthy company cars at his disposal over the years. At Renault, he had a Megane RS to drive, and during his last stint at McLaren, he had an SLR 722. But since signing with Ferrari, he's been given the keys to FCA models as varied as a Ferrari FF, a special 599 GTO, a Maserati GranCabrio, a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT and an Abarth 695... and those are just the ones we know about.
