Opening bid is less than 1/4 of what I have in this car. NO RESERVE -- I will sell to highest bidder.
I bought this March of last year because I always wanted one and this one a) was in Texas, not too far from me; b) had a bunch of work & restoration done to it; and c) seemed like fun to work on and drive w/ my teenage son.
We subsequently did, and have had done, more work, while driving it very little. Odometer had 143,831 when I bought it, and quit working right after I got it home. It now shows just under 145,000 but I probably put it up to right at 146,000.
I was going to sell this before the holidays, but my brother drove it and parked it in his driveway and his wife backed her mini-van into the passenger-side front fender and scraped the door -- see the pics. I've been wrestling w/ whether to keep this and further restore it or just sell it -- unfortunately high school varsity baseball uses up a lot of nights and weekends so we decided to let someone else take it from here.
I always wanted one of these. Had fun working on it with my son and driving it, but ready for something else. You could say I scratched that particular itch.
The guy I bought it from was the 2nd owner. He bought it in 2007 and had it shipped from CA to TX.
Adult, non-smoker, non-racer owned (both the previous owner and me). Well maintained and garaged (previous and owner and me).
I am also offering this locally for sale and reserve the right to end the auction if I sell it locally.
Features:
- 5-speed manual
- headers and custom, stainless exhaust
- power driver's seat
- power windows & locks (w/ keyless remotes)
- A/C upgraded to R132 by previous owner. I subsequently put on a new condenser last summer -- blows cold
tinted windows
- 16x7 and 16x8 deep-dish porsche "phone dial" rims w/ zero road rash -- VERY nice!
- performance tires w/ plenty of tread
- Alpine CDR-9857 head-unit, ipod ready, w/ Kenwood power amp and Pioneer sub-woofer -- it CRANKS!
I have a ton of maintenance records, as well as a repair and owners manual (latter, printed out on a laser printer, not the original)
Interior is particularly nice for a 27+ year old car -- seats are excellent and headliner is very good. Carpet is decent, but also has new front floor mats.
Key Notes:
clear title, ready to go
car runs great. starts right up, idles smooth. no smoke.
painted in 2006 and garaged since
see the pics for the good, as well as the damaged fender and scraped door. still drives great!

Known minor mechanical issues:

2. Side mirrors, motors do not work. Glass is flat, aftermarket replacement, as shown in pics.
3. Rear wiper motor does not work. I was going to just remove the whole thing and install a "delete plug" where the arm is mounted. Never got around to it.
4. Odometer quit working at mileage shown in pics (144,794), but there shouldn't be more than 146,000 total
5. Sometimes you have to tap on the Tach to get it to work, but it does work
Other:
1. repainted in 2006. Looks to me like the original color was black. Check out the pics.
2. seller I purchased it from claimed no accidents (according to CarFax) but the driver's door was clearly previously RED, before it was painted along w/ the rest of the car.
3. dented front, passenger-side fender and scraped passenger door (doesn't look to me to be dented).
I have a leather bra and matching mirror covers that came with it (used) that I will include. I also have a new brand-new, lined car-cover that has never been on the car that I will also include.
Feel free to contact me through ebay with questions, or call me at 713-429-1516, but note that I DO NOT answer calls that don't show caller-ID. I also have more pics if you want to see something in particular.
Happy to work w/ YOUR shipper if you buy it. But I'm not interested in arranging shipping.

He was the subject of a short film called Urban Outlaw. He has been on Jay Leno's Garage. Twice. He even graced the cover of Road & Track in June. And after all of that, he appeared in a video by Hong Kong-based Silly Thing. So it isn't really surprising that Magnus Walker is at the center of attention in the latest video from XCAR, but it's surprising - and a treat - to see his mostly original Irish Green 1966 Porsche 911.
Powered by an air-cooled 2.0-liter flat six with 130 horsepower (more like 120 hp today, Walker says), riding on 5.5-inch wide wheels and turned with a wooden steering wheel, the little green 911 does represent some of the best aspects of classic car motoring.
Head on below to watch the long-form video on Walker and his Porsche, but if your time is limited, you're not missing much if you call it quits at five minutes - especially if you've seen his aforementioned videos before.

Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."

Commenting on the rush of events that rocked beginning and end of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Paul Truswell of Radio Le Mans said "the race is about the ability to endure, not just the ability of drivers to do what they do for a long time." The entire race machine, all the way down to the pit boards and radios, has to survive the stress and abuse of the entire day. This was the race to prove those words.
There were two Toyotas, two Porsches and three Audis, five of the seven led the race at some point, six of the seven ran in the top three. Toyota will be hugely disappointed that it didn't win when its car and drivers were so, so strong, but they gave Audi the kind of scare we haven't seen since the best of Peugeot's days, and Toyota did a better job of it even in the loss. Porsche blew away everyone's expectations, falling 3.5 hours short of a fairy tale ending that would have made Disney cry.
But Le Mans doesn't really do fairy tales. Well, not that fairy tale. Audi's Twitter handle during the event was #welcomechallenges. As usual, Le Mans answered for the entire field.
