Rare 1990 PORSCHE 944S2 Cabriolet NO RESERVE AUCTION! This is one of the rarest Porsche Convertibles built in the last 40 years (exception: Carrera GT) and an undisputed future collectible with excellent investment potential. A small Number of approximately 2,402 were brought to the US from 1989 until 1991. Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_944 . (This is why you never see them). The 3.0 Liter engine was the largest cylinder Porsche had ever designed and allows for a very high revolution (RPM) and Torque, yet allowing very good gas mileage (20-29 MPG.) Putting out an impressive 208 HP, this 16 valve double overhead cam normally aspirated engine has a top speed of 159 mph, Dual airbags, Rack and pinion steering, 5 speed rear mounted transmission to allow proper 50/50 weight distribution on all tires, LARGE 4 wheel ventilated BREMBO disc brakes, Alpine CD player and a sticker price of $55,000.00 in 1990! Always a southern California car with no rust, never in any accidents, it is in great running condition, and is in need of a nothing but a new owner. The good: 5 speed transmission with new clutch and torque tube installed by Dennis Sherman Independent Porsche in San Diego Californa in last 1500 miles. Black leather Interior, new Black top with new rear window. Strong motor with great compression, Cold AC recently serviced by Beck's Independent Porsche of Scottsdale Arizona, power windows, power door locks, Power steering, Good tires, good brakes (new rear break pads and E Brake pads), Drives perfectly straight down the road, All gauges work, intermitten wipers. electric trunk release. The bad: There is a small power steering leak (not bad enough to require immediate attention.) LED clock is broken. The center glove box plastic hinge is broken. (I purchased a new one, which is included, but the dealer gave me the wrong 944 glove box so maybe you can return for the correct one) The tachometer now works great but it was previously replaced with a professionally rebuilt display because the plastic gears had gone bad. see pic taken with car running. Everything works perfect now. (This is normal for the gears to need to be replaced at this age) There is a rip in the bottom of the driver seat. see pic. (Included in the sale is another leather seat to replace the portion with the rip) NADA Blue Book value on these cars (beings that only approx 2402 were ever brought to the US) is only $13000 to $19000. NO RESERVE AUCTION. You could own this Porsche for a lot less! ABOUT THE 1990 Porsche 944 S2 16Ventiler Cabriolet: In 1989 the 944 S2 16Ventiler was introduced, powered by a 211 PS (155 kW; 208 hp) normally aspirated, dual-overhead-cam 16-valve 3.0L version of the 944S engine. With a bore of 104 mm (4.1 in) and a stroke of 88 mm (3.5 in), it was the largest production 4-cylinder engine of its time. The 944S2 also received a revised transmission and gearing to better suit the 3.0-liter M44/41 powerplant. The 944S2 had the same rounded nose and a rear valance found on the Turbo model. This was the first example of the use of an integrated front bumper, where the fender and hood profiles would merge smoothly with the bumper, a timeless design feature that has only now seen widespread adoption on the 1990 onward production cars. Performance was quoted as 0-60 mph in 6.5 seconds (0–100 km/h 6.8 s), with a top speed of 240 km/h (150 mph) via manual transmission. In 1990 Porsche released the 944 S2 Cabriolet, a first for the 944 line which featured the cabriolet body built by ASC-American Sunroof Company at Weinsberg Germany. Porsche produced units for all markets including right-hand drive for the United Kingdom, Australia and South Africa. The 944r was raced around the world and in the British championship called the Porsche Motorsport Championship. To this day, the 944S2 is a very popular track car due to its perfectly Balanced Weight Distribution and Light Weight to Engine Horse Power ratio. Production was limited to three years; 1989, 1990 and 1991. Additional Information: If you are looking for a timeless car that is unique, rare, and rivals the spirit of Ferrari and Lamborghini of that year, this is it. Clean, Collectible, Convertible ....and hey, it's a Porsche! What more could you want in the way of a great weekend car or daily driver. This beautiful black 944S2 has been very well maintained and has all the right options to get you to your destinations in style and comfort. Additional features and options include; 3.0L I4 Engine, 5 Speed, RWD, ABS Brakes, Front Airbags, Fog Lights, Owners Manuals, Power Windows/Mirrors, Spare Tire, Tire Tools, Only 1,824 S2 Cabriolets were exported from Germany to the US in 1990. 24 years later it is not easy to find one still this nice! Mechanically the car runs and drives as good as it looks. Powerful and smooth. Quiet. No leaks and no unusual noises. The clutch, transmission, and brakes all function perfectly. All the engine rubber hoses are in excellent shape and flexible. (no dry rot) The exhaust is stock and sounds good. Suspension is in excellent condition with adjustable rear Koni Shocks installed for better handling. Handling is pure Porsche. No shakes, no shimmies, no rattles. Just rock solid fun. Excellent Factory Porsche 17 inch Turbo wheels which carry a wider stance and fill the wheel wells perfectly. There are no major dents, scratches, dings, or stone chips in the body. (there are however a few very small scratches and stone chips that are not noticeable.) This car has never been in an accident with the exception of a small dent in the quarter panel back in 1991. This was professionally repaired by the Porsche Dealer in Beverly Hills California. The underside is as clean as the topside of the car. No rust at all, anywhere. This car has never seen winter, road salt, rain! The convertible top is in excellent condition (paid $2,000.00). No wear and no tears. The back window is clear and perfect. The top is excellent and the tonneau cover is as new. The interior has the leather upholstery option. It is in almost perfect condition with exception of the driver seat having a rip in the bottom. see pic. The dash has no cracks or fading.(always stored indoors) All of the switches and warning lights, instruments and controls work as new. The rear seat has never been used. And the passenger seat has no noticeable wear. The driver's seat is missing a small trim cover at the outer hinge. It does not affect the performance of the seat in any way. The power seat bolsters work perfectly, and the sliders and recliners work as new. The car has an after-market Alpine AM/FM/CD player. The speakers are upgraded. No holes or modifications have been made to the interior at all. The heat and air conditioning systems work as they should. The cruise control, power windows, and door locks all work as great. I am selling the car with a full tank of ethanol-free 91 Octane gasoline and a fresh service. It is ready to drive anywhere in the continental US or Canada. Recent Major Service done to the car in the past 3 years includes: New Torque Tube $3000.00 New Convertible Top $2000 New Clutch $1500 New Timing belt $1000 New A/C comp & Service $1200 New rear Brakes & Ebrake $460 Rebuilt tack/dash display $380 This car has been well taken car of and will not disappoint.

If you bid, please expect an email from me to verify your intention, as if you do not respond, I reserve the right to cancel your bid.

Jay Leno welcomes finely rebuilt Porsche 356 into his garage
Wed, 15 Jan 2014Not a month after the Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer visited Jay Leno's garage, another artfully restored Porsche has rolled in. This time it's a 1957 Porsche 356A Outlaw, the "outlaw" moniker referring to Porsches that have been restored outside the bounds of period-correct orthodoxy.
This 356A was literally done from the ground up by Michigander Chuck Olenyk, the floor of the car having fallen apart so badly that he couldn't remove the roof at first since it was holding the vehicle together. Olenyk said that of the 2000 hours over seven years that he spent restoring the car, 500 were spent just on repairing the rust. That's undoubtedly some of the reason why when he tried to sell the unrestored car as a roller in the nineties for $1,000, no one would take it off his hands.
Olenyk fitted a mildly tuned engine from a Porsche 912, the transmission from a 356B, the brakes from a 356C, Fuchs mags and a modified replicar Speedster roof from Intermecchnica. It lacks nothing even with just 115 horsepower, and it adds to that with charm and aural appeal. You can see and hear the full story in the video below.
Porsche planning something track-focused for Geneva [w/poll]
Thu, Feb 26 2015At the 2015 Geneva Motor Show next month, Porsche has confirmed that it will be showcasing two potentially exciting new models: One is the new Cayman GT4 we've already seen, but we don't know what the other will be just yet. All the German automaker is saying at the moment is that, "the second new model is another exceptional Porsche that sets new standards on the racetrack" and that "this vehicle confirms the sports car manufacturer's commitment to high performance sports cars that manage a very special link between everyday driving and motorsports." Given those two statements, we can probably rule out a crossover or sedan at one end of the spectrum or a purely competition-spec racer at the other. The likelihood is, then, that Porsche's surprise for Geneva will be the new 911 GT3 RS. But then it could be the Boxster-based convertible counterpart to the Cayman GT4 (whether dubbed Boxster GT4, Boxster Spyder or something else), or even a track-tuned version of the 918 Spyder to take on the McLaren P1 GTR and Ferrari FXX K. We'll just have to sit tight to find out, but you're welcome to read the press release below and tell us what you think Zuffenhausen has in store for us at the Swiss expo this year. Double world premiere at the Geneva International Motor Show 2015 Porsche shows two new high-performance cars for the first time Stuttgart. Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG is celebrating the world premiere of two extreme sports cars at this year's Geneva International Motor Show. The new Cayman GT4 is the first high-performance sports car belonging to the GT family that is based on the mid-engine coupes. Clocking a lap time of seven minutes and 40 seconds on the North Loop of the Nurburgring, the new entry-level model makes a great debut. The second new model is another exceptional Porsche that sets new standards on the racetrack. The world premiere will take place during the Porsche press conference at the Palexpo Arena in Geneva at 11:30 (CET) on March 3, 2015. A live webcast will be available in German and English on: http://porsche.gomexlive.com/. This vehicle confirms the sports car manufacturer's commitment to high performance sports cars that manage to make a very special link between everyday driving and motorsports. These two premieres continue Porsche's tradition of presenting motorsport highlights at the spring car show on the shores of Lake Geneva. The 911 GT3, 918 Spyder and 919 Hybrid all celebrated their debuts in Geneva in recent years.
McQueen's Porsche 917 from Le Mans races to the auction block
Mon, 23 Jun 2014Steve McQueen may have been the headline actor of the motorsport cult classic film Le Mans, but we all know who the real star was. Or rather, what: the Porsche 917. More specifically, it was the Gulf-liveried #22 - not McQueen's #21 - that won the race, making it one of the most iconic cars ever to drive across the silver screen. And now it's going up for auction.
This 1969 Porsche 917K, chassis 917-024, has a storied history both on and off the screen, even if it didn't win any (off-screen) races of note. This example was the first 917 to be campaigned in an actual race when Porsche handed it to Jo Siffert to drive against the Ferrari 312P and Ford GT40 at the Spa-Francorchamps 1000 Km race in 1969. Siffert found the early example too unstable and ultimately drove an earlier 908 to the checkered flag, but after 917-024 set the fastest time at the following year's Le Mans test day, Siffert acquired it outright.
The Swiss racing driver loaned the car to Solar Productions for use in the film, after which it returned to Siffert's collection until he was killed in an F1 exposition race at Brands Hatch in 1971. In a testament to how much he loved the car, it was 917-024 that lead the funeral procession. The car subsequently fell off the radar until it resurfaced in 2001 as one of the greatest barn finds of the new millennium. Now fully restored and resplendent in its original baby blue and orange, 917-024 is headed to the auction block at Pebble Beach where you can be sure that Gooding & Company will bring in a suitably high price for arguably the most iconic example of one of the most iconic Porsches of all time.
