I purchased this car as a potential project, but realized I do not have the time needed to bring this Porsche back to prime condition. I purchased this car from the previous owner, who had the vehicle since 1995. It has 27k miles on it when he purchased it. The car now has 74k miles. When I purchased the car, it had been sitting for at least 3 years. The car shows no signs of abuse, it simply needs work due to neglect. The exterior shows no major defects, short of needing paint. There is no rust to be found on the body. There are a few dings here and there, but nothing major whatsoever. There is a crack in the windshield, which will need replacement. The previous owner stated that the top has been replaced once, but it now shows two small tears that need attention. The interior will need cleaning and refurbishing. The seats will need to be recovered as well as the center console lid. Some random fasteners are missing, not many.

When I purchased the car, I had it flat-bedded home as I did not want to attempt to start a vehicle that had been sitting for that long without changing fluids and inspecting parts. I drained and replaced the oil, filter, and coolant, and drained the fuel tank. I removed the spark plugs which looked clean, and put a small amount of marvel mystery oil in each cylinder to help ensure the piston rings were not seized, and manually cranked the engine without the plugs in to coat the cylinder liners. I then put in a new battery, new plugs, new premium fuel, and cranked the engine but it wouldn't start. I then diagnosed that the fuel pump was not working, and replaced it with an OEM Bosch pump. After more cranking the engine did fire, and ran rough for a few minutes but cleared up and ran beautifully. Since then, I have tried to start it every other day. It always seems to run rough at first, but then clears right up.

I have driven it up and down the street a few times without issue. The 6-speed standard transmission shifts fine and the clutch engages well. The brakes seem fine, with good pedal feel and no strange noises. The lights work fine, but not all of the gauges work.

From what research I have done, there were not many 968 Cabrios imported to the US, so it should have a good upside value over time. I have a clear title in my possession.

I am NOT accepting offers below my asking price, and I am NOT interested in trades. This is a NO RESERVE auction, you bid, you buy! Please do not bid unless you intend to buy!!!

Please CALL (DO NOT TEXT!) with any questions about this car. 609-709-7237, my name is Ed.

2014 Porsche 911 GT3 [w/video]

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

The Bearable Lightness Of Being
Start with a standard Porsche 911 Carrera and its 350-horsepower, 3.6-liter flat six-cylinder engine. Bore a crepe-thin slice of aluminum from each cylinder to get to 3.8 liters, add a wider track out back and two extra exhaust pipes and voila, you can append an S to the Carrera's name. Hang two sets of wet, multi-disc clutches along its spine and you can make that a 4, or a 4S. Bolt on two forced-induction compressors and piping, add two fender vents and comically wide rear tires and you've redeemed your ticket to a Turbo. Increase the boost pressure and swell the corral to 560 horses and you have the Turbo S, which is the Virginia Slims of the 911 line-up because it's come a long way, baby.
Or you can go in a different direction. At that second stop, grab the 3.8-liter and cart it over to the engineers at Porsche's development center in Weissach, Germany. If racing were meat, they would be among the alpha carnivores. The baseboards in their homes are probably painted with miniature billboards for motor oil and vintage cigarettes along the straights, red-and-white stripes around every corner.

These are the cars being discontinued for 2024 and beyond

Fri, Jun 21 2024

While we get new and updated car models every year, its inevitable that we'll need to say goodbye to some nameplates as well. This time around, it feels like we have confirmation or reports of an unusually large number of vehicles being discontinued in 2024 and the coming years.Â We shouldn't be surprised. A large number of automakers are approaching their various target dates for electrification of their fleets. As such, some beloved internal combustion cars are going away, sometimes with appropriate fanfare like special editions. Others are slinking away quietly, killed by slowing sales and changing consumer trends. Of course, the end of production doesn't necessarily mean permanent death. Some of these models could be resurrected in later years ... and probably as an EV. With that in mind, here are the vehicles that are being discontinued in 2024 and beyond. Â Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio andÂ Stelvio Quadrifoglio Alfa Romeo ended the production of its combustion-only Quadrifoglio models in April 2024 as the Italian automaker moves toward an electrified future. This isn't the end of the Quadrifoglio entirely, though, with Larry Dominique,Â Alfa Romeo senior vice president and head of North America, writing, "I look forward to presenting the next chapter in the four-leaf clover’s journey." Â Chevrolet Camaro GM is ending production of the Chevy Camaro after 2024, but is sending it off in style with a CollectorÂ’s Edition. WouldnÂ’t it be cool, though, if Chevy brought it back as an EV? Â Chevrolet Malibu Rumors of its demise have been around for a while, but now itÂ’s official. GM will end production of the Chevy Malibu in November of 2024. The assembly line in Kansas will be retooled to build the replacement for the Chevy Bolt. Â Dodge Durango The three-row Durango is slated to be replaced by the Stealth nameplate after 2024. The Durango name could make a comeback later, according to rumors, on a body-on frame SUV based on the Jeep WagoneerÂ’s platform. Â Ford Edge This is the last year for the Edge in the U.S., with the final unit rolling off the assembly line in April. On sale since 2007, the Edge topped 100,000 sales in all but three full years of production. Â Ford Escape Newly refreshed for the 2023 model year, FordÂ’s popular Escape compact SUV is reportedly taking its leave in 2025 in order to usher in Â—Â you guessed it Â—Â an EV in its place.
