1986 Porsche 944 Turbo on 2040-cars
Whitehall, Pennsylvania, United States
|
This is your chance to own a true classic. It's the first year for the 944 Turbo. This is an unmolested car with the correct Porsche phone dial wheels in great shape. The car has been my daily driver since the snow has stopped falling in the Northeast and it is a pleasure to drive. The clutch and the transmission function properly along with the heat and defrost. All power options function, i.e. windows, sunroof, etc. without any leaking. A/C compressor comes on, but it is still too cold to tell how cold it blows. Alpine A/M, F/M, CD player works well along with the front and back Kenwood speakers.
The car has Porsche brake calipers on all four corners. This car is a true driver. There are minor paint blemishes on the top of the passenger side front fender and a door ding on the driver's side door (see pictures). Interior is in great shape, especially for a car from 1986. There are no rips and only minor wear on the seats. The dash has a few small cracks near the vents as all 944's do. The car just underwent a full belt service along with pulleys. At that time, the water pump was inspected and appears to be recently replaced. So the timing belt was replaced even though the old one looked relatively new. The tires have 95% tread. The car is being offered at no reserve, so bid to own. PPI's are welcome and encouraged. All in all, a great car for daily driving or even track use. There are not many 944 Turbos out there that have not been chipped or abused. As you can see in the pictures, the sunroof cover and tool kit come with the car. I did not have this car detailed to hide any imperfections. Looks as though there was an insert in-between the tail lights that has been removed and license plate holes on rear bumper are filled in. Currently has antique plates and is titled in Pennsylvania. Call Sam at 484-375-5667 with any questions or specific pictures you may want. In closing, I have owned Porsche's for over 20 years and I can say you will not find one in this shape at a no reserve auction. This car is sold as is, where is, with no warranty express or implied. |

Man arrested for stealing part of Paul Walker Porsche wreck
Fri, 06 Dec 2013Humans are odd creatures. Some of us collect things associated with bad events, particularly when it comes to cars. Your author, for example, has the grille of his wrecked 2004 Mini Cooper S hanging on the wall. As a more extreme example, an 18-year-old Californian is in trouble with the LA police, but not for taking an item from his own car accident. Instead, he has been arrested for stealing from the wreck of the Porsche Carrera GT that killed actor Paul Walker and racer Roger Rodas.
And it wasn't a small piece, either. It was the Carrera GT's carbon-fiber roof panel. Making matters worse is word that the theft happened while the tow truck that was hauling the wrecked Porsche was sitting in traffic. According to the LA Sheriff's Department report, "A witness saw a male exit a vehicle that was following the tow truck. The male grabbed a piece of the wrecked Porsche off the tow truck bed." Besides the eyewitnesses, it didn't help that images of the roof panel were later posted on Instagram.
The man, Jameson Witty, was later arrested at his home, where police also found the roof panel. The driver of the car Witty was in when he took the roof panel, meanwhile, is planning on surrendering to the police, according to CNN. It remains unclear if the district attorney's office will charge the two, although if it does, they'll be facing felony grand theft and tampering with evidence.
Top horsepower-per-dollar cars in 2017
Tue, Feb 17 2015Bang for the buck. That quasi-scientific statistic is bandied about by motor heads everywhere from classrooms to barrooms, though the truth of the matter is that it's exceedingly complex to measure. A fair performance-per-dollar index would include something like cross-referencing MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) with point-to-point times on a track or driving route, which is obviously hard to do comprehensively. But, for the sheer joy of talking about cars and playing with a big spreadsheet, there's always the horsepower-per-dollar index, which is more straightforward, albeit hilariously flawed. There are vagaries even with this simple formula, of course: MSRP for vehicles can change at a moment's notice, to say nothing of the bottom-line shifting that happens with local deals or showroom negotiation. For this list we're running with the straight MSRP wherever possible, and as recently reported as we can get it. All the vehicles on this list are 2017 models, and all trims are reported where the lowest price and differing power levels intersect. Some choices were made for personal preference and some for sanity, avoiding things like all 48 trim levels of the Ford Transit, all with the same horsepower). If this list were a simple top ten, or even a top fifty, you'd be bored to tears with all the red, white and blue that is represented. Following perfectly with conventional wisdom, American cars really do lead the world where hp/$ is concerned. So, for the sake of variety (and the sheer joy of seeing a minivan 'win' one round of this thing) I've sorted out some top five and bottom five lists for broad power categories. Let's dive in. Less Than 100 Horsepower Okay, okay, this is hardly a category we'll grant you. But we've often tried to click off all the sub-100-hp cars on sale in the US, and making this list gave us an excuse. It also illustrates that none of these smallish vehicles bring cheap horsepower to the table - for that you'll need a motorcycle. The segment-leading Chevy Spark (above) asks just over $139 for each hp, and that Smart Fortwo Electric Drive has hp on sale for about the same price as its very distant family cousin, the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG (insert your favorite Smart joke here... we know you want to).
This Porsche 356 family keeps it outlaw
Wed, 29 Oct 2014Rod Emory was the founder of Emory Motorsports in Burbank, CA, and the scion to a family tradition of building "outlaw" Porsches that are almost as cool as the cars themselves. The lovingly modified Porsche 356s are lovely artifacts, and their story, along with the story of their builders, is pitch-perfect for the Petrolicious oeuvre of beloved classics.
Tune in for the history lesson, and then stick around for the car candy.
