Up for Auction is a very nice 1990 Porsche S2 Cabriolet
Triple Black with 105,640 miles
3.0 liter 16 valve 4 cylinder, 5 speed
ABS, Driver and Passenger Airbags

Originally purchased at Len Stoler Porsche here in Baltimore in December of 1989.
Traded in 2000 with 50,000 miles and resold at Valley Motors Porsche.
I purchased the car from the second owner as a private sale in February of 2009 with 102,000 miles as a backup car for the family.

I had a full service and review performed at that time and the car was deemed in excellent condition with no prior body damage.  
The front was repainted and disclosed by the dealer in 2000.

The car was garage kept by both owners and I have extensive documentation on the car (which I am rummaging through files looking for.)

The car passed the extensive Maryland inspection and emissions less than 4,000 miles ago in 2009.

The timing belt was changed at 92,000 miles.
I replaced all tires with Continentals in 2009 as well as a new top and replacement of the lower seat leather (getting stiff and stitching coming undone.)
I have kept the car fully serviced and have had some minor electrical work done (fix fog lights and rewire stereo which previous aftermarket unit was drawing on the system.)
Replaced the brakes in 2009.
Car is serviced at least 2x a year by my mechanic and is only used in good weather.
There is an Alpine head unit as shown in the pictures that has a USB input as well as Sirius receiver integrated and installed in the head unit.
I replaced the windshield and repainted the front end after a branch fell and dented the passenger fender and cracked the windshield.  All body panels are, to the best of my knowledge, original to the car.
I did file an insurance claim at that time and will most likely show up in history.  I have not checked to see.
Work was done to a very high standard.
Taken out of winter storage and driven 200 miles this past week.

The car drives strong and has a solid clutch.  Shifts very well. No leaks.
I average 27-28 mpg in spirited driving
Oil pressure is excellent and the temp gauge never passes the 1st quarter of the range.
Air Conditioning works well 
Power top is fully functional and the original fitted boot is in the trunk.
Cruise, Pwr Windows, Locks and Pwr Seat Height all work as they should.
Dash has no cracks and Lloyd mats are in excellent condition.

Only issues that I am aware of are the interior overhead light does not go on when the door is opened, the clock in the dash is broken (common problem), the struts for the trunk should be replaced as they are original and do not "pop up" when you press the electric release, which does work, however, the key works fine. 
There is some minor curb rash on the wheels and a couple of minor dings.

This is a good driver quality car that has been very reliable and more practical than I every thought.  

My kids are now at an age where they don't fit in the back and would rather not be seen with Mom and Dad anyway so we are going to spend more time running my 280SL.

If I could demand that a PPI inspection be done, I would, but I cannot.  I do greatly encourage inspections.  
Please ask questions, I will do my best to get back to you.
I will not answer questions about the reserve.  Make me an offer if you like.
Car is sold AS-IS WHERE-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.

I am located a little north of Baltimore, MD.  
Shipping and pick up is the responsibility of buyer but I will do my very best to accommodate you.
Deposit of $500 is due with in 24 hours of auction end.  Balance my be received before title and car are released. 

Thanks for looking!

Cadillac Celestiq and Honda Civic Type R revealed | Autoblog Podcast #740

Fri, Jul 29 2022

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor, Green, John Beltz Snyder. They kick things off by talking about the latest vehicle reveals, specifically the Cadillac Celestiq show car and the 2023 Honda Civic Type R. They discuss Chevy's move to offer incentives to help prevent customers from flipping the new Corvette Z06. Greg has spent time behind the wheel of the 2022 Range Rover First Edition, while John has been driving the 2023 Genesis GV60 Performance. From the mailbag, a listener is looking to replace a 2003 Subaru Forester with something that can hold three dog crates and gets decent fuel economy. Another listener asks whether to keep a 2008 Porsche 911 Turbo or replace it with a 992-generation 911 for which he is awaiting an allocation.

Porsche Cayman GT4 looks sexy, rapid in the nude

Mon, Jan 5 2015

Porsche doesn't officially have a name for its more hardcore version of the Cayman, yet. The speculation is that the coupe is called the GT4 as a little brother to the 911 GT3. However, the German sports car maker apparently is not interested in keeping the model's looks much of a secret because these latest shots show it without a hint of camouflage to speak of. The GT4 reportedly takes the GT3's ethos of more power, less weight and stickier-than-glue handling and brings it all to the Cayman. As these photos show, there's a much lower air dam up front with a cooling vent at the tip of the hood. Larger wheels are another obvious addition and are likely shod with some very sticky rubber. At the back, there's a double spoiler combining a wing and a ducktail. The power and gearbox for the GT4 remains a mystery, though. The rumor is that it uses a tuned version of the 3.4-liter flat-six in the Cayman S and GTS to make between 370 and 400 horsepower. A similar overhaul of the Boxster might be on the way, as well. A version of the convertible wearing some of the Cayman GT4's goodies was recently spotted testing. That one even had a manual transmission to make the prospects behind the wheel even more exciting.

1950s car ads are timeless

Sat, Aug 8 2015

Usually around the Super Bowl a few great car commercials show up, but for the most part auto ads today pale in comparison to the '1950s and '60s. In an era with a truly viable magazine industry, automakers would take out gorgeous full-page spreads to get the word out about their wares. It was also a time when imports were just hitting the US, and there was a boom in sports cars. Car and Driver has gone for a dig into its advertising archives from when the book was known as Sports Cars Illustrated for a truly great viewing experience. You can imagine a young Don Draper mulling over the copy for these ads, but some of it is laughably quaint today. For example, there's a great image of a driver whipping an Austin-Healey 100 around a track. The italicized red text proudly proclaims, "From 0 to 60 MPH in 10.5 seconds." One of the beautiful parts about these advertisements is that you seldom see photos of the cars. Instead, there are often detailed drawings that slightly distort the vehicles' lines. With this approach, the Porsche 356 ends up looking far more curvaceous than in real life. Plus, the front end of the Chrysler 300 looks large enough to land a helicopter on. The whole thing is worth scrolling through. There are some fascinating glimpses into auto history like an ad for Abarth exhausts before the brand was just known for tuning Fiats.
