Up for grabs is this NO RESERVE 1987 Porsche 944, ultra rare S model! This Porsche features a five speed manual transmission, alloy wheels, sunroof, spoiler, and black leather interior. Vehicle just got a new alternator installed on 7/30, I have also had a new battery installed last week as well as a full tune-up. New fuel pump also installed.

This 944 is NOT running currently. I have spent over $5,000 on this project and am not spending another dime, period! Vehicle starts, but will need to be trailered off my property. Starter engages, but vehicle will only stay "on" if the key is kept in the starting position. I have driven this vehicle twice, it was very fast and fun to drive. I then parked it, it would not start, and I do not have any additional funds to fix.

I would be happy to give you the name and number of the mechanic who performed the tune-up and installed the fuel pump, after a conversation with me first.

I do NOT know when the timing belt and/or chain and/tensioner was changed.

Excellent value...again, no reserve auction, this car will sell. True Mileage Unknown. Tremendous potential for a racecar, project, etc. Motor is strong.

This 944 has a clean title, and even a clean CarFax! Title will be released only after the outstanding balance has been collected. We charge a modest $199 doc fee, $25 to send the title via FedEx, and a .03% City of Nashville business tax, I only collect state sales tax for Tennessee residents. We accept cash, personal checks, cashier's check, wire transfers ($20 additional fee), and credit/debit cards (3% swipe fee additional).

We ship nationally and internationally, I can have this 944 delivered to your door, please contact me directly with zip code for an estimate on shipping.

Please only bid if you intend to buy! Please ask any and all questions BEFORE the end of the auction...my cell phone is 615-300-6004. I will not be positing any more pictures to this eBay ad, please contact me directly for additional pictures, they will be sent to you via email only.

NO RESERVE! If you want to end the auction early, I am open to offers. This 944 will sell on eBay.

Porsche working on turbo V12 for Putin limo project?

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Porsche is best known for building very well-regarded sports cars and better-selling utility vehicles. Come to the company with a big enough bag of cash, though, and the Porsche Engineering division can create just about anything. The group's past projects include working with Harley-Davidson, Mercedes-Benz and corporate cousin Audi, but if rumors prove true, then its latest partner might be the last one you'd expect.
Russian website Wroom reports that Porsche Engineering is building the engine for the Project Cortege government limousine project for Russian president Vladimir Putin. The mill is supposedly a turbocharged V12 displacing between 6.0- and 6.6-liters and making around 800 horsepower. When complete, it will reportedly be built by ZMZ with Russian-sourced parts.
The limo is expected to debut in 2017, according to Wroom, but it's just the beginning of Putin's grandiose plans, which also goes by the name of the Motorcade Project. The same platform is also meant to underpin several vehicles for use by the government, including an SUV, a small bus and a sedan. All of them would reportedly have a longitudinally mounted engine and all-wheel drive.

VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.

1974 Porsche 914 EV conversion still looks good

Thu, Jan 23 2014

Looking through the pages of the EV Album is a great way to learn about the breadth and depth of the electric vehicle community. Branching well beyond the three dozen or so electric vehicles that are currently sold by major automakers in the US, EV Album showcases lots of DIY conversions of all types. A 1995 Fiat Cinquecento? Check. A 1992 Kewet Eljet 2? No problem. The site's old-fashioned looks (it was started in 1997) show just how long people have been passionate about their EVs. Many of the cars are throwbacks to a previous time and we found a prime example of that, a converted 1974 Porsche 914 (EV Album page here) this week. Now powered by a Prestolite MTC4001 Series Wound DC motor and some flooded nickel-cadmium batteries, the 914 has a top speed of 80 miles per hour and a range of 35 miles. But only "if you are taking it easy," of course. The motor has a peak output of 60 horsepower and 25 hp continuous. Converted over 600 hours (!) to electric power at a cost of $10,000, it is now owned by Charlie Garlow of Maryland. The car is on display at the Washington Auto Show this week and serves as a great reminder of what most EV drivers used to have to do to drive emissions free.
