1983 Porsche 944 for PARTS or RESTORATION... I Purchased this car for $4500 off eBay in St. Louis on a "whim" in 2005. I had a new timing belt installed as well as the crankshaft and balance shaft seals replaced by Kauth & Mayeur in Ill. (I have original receipt) The rear halfshafts were also replaced at this time. (I have original receipt) I drove the vehicle home without issue and parked it in my barn. The car has less than 90,000 miles on her, and I even have the original Carfax from the original sales date! I had front seats reupolstered per the photo, but a long series of family related issues occupied my time and prevented me from further restoring the car. I have started the car periodically and the engine sounds good! Items have deteriorated from sitting, so I am selling this "as is" for PARTS or RESTORATION...
KNOWN ISSUES:
New tires have cracked from sitting
Bad rear brake calipers
Steering rack is frozen
Dent on hood
Dent on lower area of driver's side front fender
Hatch lock is broken
"VEHICLE IS SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH NO WARRANTY OR IMPLIED OR EXPRESSED"
I have paid the Rhode Island State Sales tax on the vehicle but never registered it. I can and will if buyer deems it necessary and will cover the additional expense ($50.00).
VEHICLE IS LOCATED IN RHODE ISLAND AND MUST BE TRANSPORTED BY PURCHASER.
PAYPAL ONLY PLEASE IMMEDIATELY WHEN AUCTION ENDS.
MY LOSS IS YOUR GAIN!!!

Drive like a prince: Join us for a walk through Monaco's car collection
Fri, Dec 29 2023Small, crowded, and a royal pain in the trunk lid to drive into during rush hour, Monaco sounds like an improbable location for a huge car museum. And yet, this tiny city-state has been closely linked to car culture for over a century. It hosts two major racing events every year, many of its residents would qualify for a frequent shopper card if Rolls-Royce issued one, and Prince Rainier III began assembling a collection of cars in the late 1950s. He opened his collection to the public in 1993 and the museum quickly turned into a popular tourist attraction. The collection continued to grow after his death in April 2005; it moved to a new facility located right on Hercules Port in July 2022. Monaco being Monaco, you'd expect to walk into a room full of the latest, shiniest, and most powerful supercars ever to shred a tire. That's not the case: while there is no shortage of high-horsepower machines, the first cars you see after paying ˆ10 (approximately $11) to get in are pre-war models. In that era, the template for the car as we know it in 2023 hadn't been created, so an eclectic assortment of expensive and dauntingly experimental machines roamed whatever roads were available to them. One is the Leyat Helica, which was built in France in 1921 with a 1.2-liter air-cooled flat-twin sourced from the world of aviation. Fittingly, the two-cylinder spun a massive, plane-like propeller. Government vehicles get a special spot in the museum. They range from a Cadillac Series 6700 with an amusing blend of period-correct French-market yellow headlights and massive fins to a 2011 Lexus LS 600h with a custom-made transparent roof panel that was built by Belgian coachbuilder Carat Duchatelet for Prince Albert II's wedding. Here's where it all gets a little weird: you've got a 1952 Austin FX3, a Ghia-bodied 1959 Fiat 500 Jolly, a 1960 BMW Isetta, and a 1971 Lotus Seven. That has to be someone's idea of a perfect four-car garage. One of the most significant cars in the collection lurks in the far corner of the main hall, which is located a level below the entrance. At first glance, it's a kitted-out Renault 4CV with auxiliary lights, a racing number on the front end, and a period-correct registration number issued in the Bouches-du-Rhone department of France. It doesn't look all that different than the later, unmodified 4CV parked right next to it. Here's what's special about it: this is one of the small handful of Type 1063 models built by Renault for competition.
Porsche exec confirms Macan Diesel for US
Wed, 15 Oct 2014The idea of a diesel-powered Porsche is the sort of thing that sounds really, really weird... until you actually drive it. The result of sticking glow plugs under the hood of Stuttgart's finest, though, is a vehicle that's nearly as entertaining as a gas-powered model but with much more torque and better fuel economy. Considering that, we think it's absolutely splendid news that following previous reports, Porsche has now confirmed a diesel-powered Macan for the US market.
"We are now busy with the development and the engineering," Andre Oosthuizen, Porsche's North American marketing VP, told Automotive News. "I can confirm that V6 diesel offering with about 245 horsepower."
Yep, that's the same 3.0-liter V6 found, most notably, in the CUV's Audi Q5 platform-mate as well as a plethora of other Volkswagen Group vehicles, both in the US and abroad. Stuttgart already offers the 3.0-liter oil-burner in the Euro-spec crossover, where it churns out 258 hp and 427 pound-feet of torque.
