I'm selling my 1983 Porsche. It is in very good condition. I am the 3rd owner of the car. The original owner sold it to a colleague at work in 1989, and I bought it from him this past April. I have not owned the car long, but I have drove it almost 10K. I would trust this car to drive anywhere for any distance. It had 86K on it when I purchased it. I have the name, number and address of the mechanic and shop who serviced this vehicle since new. I just had the timing belt, and water pump done last month.

There are no leaks of any kind that I have noticed. The car does not burn oil, clutch is as it should be, and all gears are as they should be. The AC works, but could use some more R12. It's cool, but not cold. Heat works awesome. Mechanically everything is sound.

Tires are Michellins with 85% tread left on each. No uneven wear. Alignment is straight. Brakes are good. I put new hood supports in as well. I have changed the oil every 3500 miles with Mobile 1 synthetic 10/30. New fuel filter installed as well. And new air filter.

There are some rock chips in the paint, but nothing excessive and not a lot considering the 31 year age of the car. Small dent in drivers door. It could be popped out by removing inside door panel, but it's not bad, so I wasn't concerned with it. Small dent under right side tail light, not very noticable either. No rust. Paint is very glossy and sharp looking. Has aftermarket cd player, single disk. Some cracks in the dash, but not bad. Couple pix show what's there.

I average 27 mpg and use 87 octane fuel.

Overall, mechanically and cosmetically this car is very good. Low miles for the year, and has been kept in great condition. I do have the main records for the maintenance as well. I called the original mechanic after I purchased the car to check when things such as timing belt and water pump were done, and if any major issues were fixed. Nothing major done, just routine timing, water pump, etc.

I also did a full tune up on the car when I bought it a few months ago. New plugs, cap, rotor, wires.

Again, I would trust this car to drive anywhere in my opinion. I use it as a daily driver and have not had any issues. Fun car that gets great gas mileage. Please ask any questions if you have any. This is a 4 seater. The front has plenty of room...the back seats, not so much! I usually leave the back seat folded down for larger cargo area. Front seats have some tears mainly along some of the seams, but are in very good shape. I have heavy duty seat covers on them to protect them.

The car is also for sale locally so seller has the right to end auction if the vehicle is no longer available. This is a no reserve auction, so high bidder will receive the car.

2014 Porsche 911 GT3 and GT3 Cup step out early

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Though Porsche won't be feeding us the full 911 enchilada until tomorrow's Geneva-based festivities, we have managed to scare up some official images of the 2014 911 GT3, as well as the all-new 911 GT3 Cup. As Porsche is celebrating 50 years of the 911, we anticipate a good day for great cars.
The new GT3 looks every bit the proper successor to the racy 911 nameplate, with a fixed rear wing large enough to serve cocktails on, a curvaceous body kit and 20-inch wheels that offer a dominating on-road stance. It's a good bet that Porsche will have coaxed something like 450 horsepower from the naturally aspirated, 3.8-liter flat-six engine that hangs over the car's rear axle. A seven-speed manual and Porsche's own PDK transmission are the likely gearbox offerings.
Should the mental quickness and imposing wingery of the standard GT3 not be enough for you, future racecar driver, Porsche is also bringing a GT3 Cup car to Geneva. The German automaker has given just a few scant details about this Cup car - 460 hp on tap, a production run of just 2,400 units - including three images of the kitted out racer. Certainly more and finer details will emerge, when Porsche shines the spotlights on its new 911s tomorrow.

Jay Leno chats with Magnus Walker about his 1972 Porsche 911 72STR

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

Magnus Walker has stopped by the Big Dog Garage again to pay Jay Leno a visit in the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage. This time, the Porsche builder brought along his 1972 911 72STR 002. Walker calls the machine his best build to date, and the car is a rolling "best of" from Porsches past, rocking some of the more attractive elements pulled from a wide arc of 911 model years. Of course, the machine also wears a few signature Walker touches, including flush-mount turning indicators, a center-hood fuel filler and plenty of louver work.
Unlike some of Walker's other creations, the 72STR 002 is clean enough to lick. Leno seems suitably impressed with the creation, and while apparently isn't typically a fan of Porsche models in general, Walker's tastefully modified 911 has him singing a different tune. You can check out the car in the video below.

Raiding The Porsche Museum For A Fun Track Day
It seems everyone is celebrating anniversaries this year: it's Aston's hundredth, Lamborghini's fiftieth, Ford Mustang's fiftieth, Chevy Corvette's sixtieth - and Tesla just turned ten or something. It's been a little out of hand, frankly, all these forced marketing festivities, but if we had to pick one milestone to really celebrate hard and party all night, the Porsche 911 would be at the top of our list.
Get ready for a major 911 blowout bash at next week's Frankfurt Motor Show. It was on September 12 back in 1963 at this very show where Porsche unveiled its "901" painted in a rather boring shade of beige. Though drably finished, the car caused a worldwide frenzy in the budding German sports car sphere.
