1998 Red Porsche Boxster convertible

This was the track car from the Porsche Club of America Regional President. - He used it as an every day driver and track day car. With the suspension set up, the car is a blast to drive.

Overall I'd say it's a solid 8. It does have small stone chips on the front hood - easy to fix or fine as is... The interior is decent with a small tear on the drivers seat seam. (reparable I suspect)

It originally had a 2.5 engine that was recently replaced with a solid 2.7 engine so while the chassis has about 208K miles the engine and gearbox have less than 50K miles and even more HP.

If you look at this car I suspect you will buy it - really nice with great updates... Happy to allow any bidder to inspect/drive prior to bidding on this car.

The car is easily worth over 12K especially with the suspension upgrades and the "extra" parts old but good gearbox and engine are worth a fair amount as well.

Chassis has some nice options
- Upgraded suspension called Porsche ROW M030 stiffens car about 30% and lowers it about 0.5 inches
- New front rotors and comes with a set of new in box rear rotors and a bunch of extra brake pads
- Car has built in windbreak/screen
- Top was replaced a few years ago - decent shape auto up and down works great
- Car has a fully functional spare and tool kit
- I have receipts and paperwork
- Power steering lines were replaced within the last 6 months
- Stainless steel brake lines all four corners
- AC needs to be recharged - new line added during engine install.
- Replaced all the dash lights over the summer, so you will probably never have to replace it
- All the O2 and temp sensors are less than 2 years old

To the scam artists - don't bother - I will not accept a pay and ship scam or any other one you can create. If you are interested in the car the sale is cash and as-is. I have a clear VA title in hand.

THIS CAR IS FOR SALE LOCALLY AND IF SOLD THIS AD AND ANY BIDS WILL BE CANCELLED - If you want it prior to auction end use best offer and make a deal.

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.

Supercar parade entering highway is mesmerizing

Thu, 09 May 2013

In what must have looked and sounded to motorists on the M6 like an invasion of The Swarm, a parade of 50 enthusiast gems leaving a charity event were caught shooting down the on-ramp and merging into traffic. There were plenty of Porsches joining the 959 and Ducktail above, Aston Martins going back to the badboy V8 of the last millennium, a Ferrari Testarossa, a TVR and numerous other Easter eggs.
There were not, however, plenty of turn signals, with someone counting just five among the fifty engaging in proper use of the blinker. One reason put forth for that is the same reason we're posting this video, which is from last Summer, below: "because supercar." Enjoy.

Another cool projection vid, this time with a Porsche 911

Fri, 28 Dec 2012

Porsche has become the latest automaker to take advantage of clever projection technology. The automaker worked up a quick presentation for the 2013 911 Carrera 4S to show off a bit of "motionless driving." The display tracks the sports car from production to back-road caning and city-center cruising, displaying a variety of exterior color choices and wheel options without resorting to a two-dimensional video.
This isn't the first time we've seen an automaker use its new product as a projection screen. Subaru, Hyundai, Lamborghini and others have all done the same, and the trick never fails to be visually interesting.
As you may recall, we got to play with the 2013 911 Carrera 4S back in November and found the machine to be a better daily driver than its rear-wheel drive counterpart. You can check out the projection video below.
