1990 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet Convertible Triple Black Excellent History on 2040-cars
Fallston, Maryland, United States
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! |

Le Mans-winning Porsche 935 K3 'seized' by DEA agents
Thu, 16 Jan 2014Porsche has won Le Mans more than any other marque, but only one of those overall race winners was actually based on a 911. That was the 1979 Porsche 935 K3, chassis number 009 00015 that was entered by brothers Don and Bill Whittington. It went on to win at the Nürburgring and Watkins Glen, and scored podium finishes at Sebring and Brands Hatch as well. In short, it's a historically significant and hugely valuable piece of motorsport history. And it was just seized by the DEA. Sorta.
After the Whittington brothers ran afoul of a handful of lawsuits and were implicated in smuggling narcotics, the car changed hands a few times before ending up in the noted collection of one Bruce Meyers. He had it at Laguna Seca earlier this month when a black Suburban, Dodge Charger and transporter truck pulled up with government plates, asked to speak with Meyer, presented him with a court order, loaded the car onto the truck and drove off.
Though familiar with the legal disputes surrounding the ownership of the car and the misdeeds of its famous original owners, Meyer was left understandably distraught over the events that had just unfolded in front of him to separate him from his pride and joy. (Or one of them, anyway; Bruce has got an eminently desirable collection of classic cars.) But here's the kicker: those DEA agents weren't actual DEA agents. Fortunately they weren't thieves, either. The actual story could have been the plot right out of Ocean's 14 if they ever made one and it focused on classic cars. (Is anyone in Hollywood listening?)
Porsche forum claims eco-friendly 911 Blu coming to Frankfurt
Thu, 01 Aug 2013The fiftieth anniversary of the Porsche 911 has been a nearly year-long affair, with unique tributes and even a special anniversary edition with plenty of retro throwbacks. The party is expected to continue through the end of 2013, and if one 911 enthusiast forum is right, we'll see yet another special edition model near the anniversary of the original car's September 1963 debut, when it arrives at next month's Frankfurt Auto Show.
It's called the 911 Blu, and where the 911 50 Years Edition was more expensive than a 911 Carrera S hardtop, the Blu would be an entry level special edition. That's right, a limited run car that actually slots in at the very bottom of the 911 range. According to Porsche forum 911UK.com, the new car would be priced at 74,600 euros ($98,718 at today's rates) or 64,750 pounds. That undercuts the price of a base 911 in Germany by nearly 16,000 euros and in the UK by nearly 8700 pounds (although to be fair, it's roughly identical to the price of a base 911 C2S in the US).
This 911 will reportedly feature a detuned flat-six with 300 horsepower and 211 pound-feet of torque.
