This is a fixed price eBay Motors auction and open to offers here on eBay prior to it being offered at one of the major automobile auctions across the country. Please consider the auction houses buyer and sellers premiums you can expect to pay (20%?) so this pre offering should prove a better use of your cash.

For sure every GT was a special build but this one was given even more personal attention during the initial design and hand build process in the Leipzig facility so this car does come at a premium. This car really has not changed ownership and is now owned by one of the biggest Ferrari collectors who has decided to sell it only because it is not a core marque car for his collection.

This GT is in excellent condition and has been well cared for as part of a collection not as a driver. Clutch inspection, recall, and mandatory service have been preformed at factory certified Porsche Carrera GT service centre. Your inspection is welcomed and if you wish a factory certified Porsche Carrera GT centre inspection we can provide you with a PPI. Not all Porsche dealers are Carrera GT Certified.

Books and Two keys will be provided to you as well as past ownership documentation.

Without question the Super Cars conceived out of Zuffenhausen, GT1, Carrera GT, and now the 918 are all limited production, significant, and are beyond the driving capabilities of most mortals. The GT1 and Carrera GT are both iconic investment quality cars and buying one is a great achievement but owning one of only a few true collector builds with correct miles and history should bode well in the years to come.

Just 604 Carrera GT cars were imported by PCNA to the US market with PAG worldwide production ending up at 1270 units. It is doubtful we will see cars such as the McLaren F1 or Carrera GT ever built again, they are raw unforgiving street legal racing machinery so nasty they are perfect. Cars have changed right before our eyes due to technologies and innovations and looking not too far back we can see the gems that changed road performance cars forever. Buy the correct ones now.

There is plenty of online information and books on the subject but just incase you are not aware of what this car is all about but here is a short background on the GT from MSN noting the Carrera GT as one of the best investment cars:

Racing is in Porsche's DNA, but when an opportunity arises, the wizards in Zuffenhausen are quick to seize it. Left with the chassis for an unused open-cockpit Le Mans racer and a V10 engine first developed with Formula One in mind Porsche combined the two in a concept that was a hit at the 2000 Geneva Motor Show. This led to the production of the Carrera GT, a mid engine supercar with a carbon-fiber chassis and body that was powered by a 5.7-liter version of this V10 engine, coupled to a 6-speed manual gearbox through a ceramic composite clutch — the first of its kind. With 612 horsepower on tap at 8000 rpm, the GT sprinted to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds, on to a top speed of 205 mph, with ceramic brakes to haul it back down.

Any questions on the car, shipping, or payment please ask away and I will get back to you.

Porsche 918 Spyder burns to ground in gas station conflagration

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

There's one fewer Porsche 918 Spyder zipping along the roads of Toronto, Canada, today. A fire at a gas station over the weekend claimed one of the hybrid supercars in a massive blaze, and a portion of the inferno was caught on video.
According to our partners to the North at Autoblog Canada, the cause of the fire hasn't been officially confirmed yet, but witnesses reportedly claimed gasoline somehow came into contact with the hot exhaust outlets that exit out of the top of the supercar's engine bay. This was just one of two 918s believed to be in the Toronto area.
Other than a possible broken heart from the owner, the fire reportedly caused no injuries, and only the Porsche and gas pump appeared to sustain serious damage. Warning, the video of the conflagration does contain some explicit language.

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.

J.D. Power: Vehicle dependability at all-time high, Lexus and Porsche lead

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Each year, J.D. Power and Associates surveys original owners of three-year-old vehicles to find out what kinds of problems they have had experienced over the last 12 months, and then it uses this data to create its annual Vehicle Dependability Study. This means that the models in the 2013 study are 2010 model year vehicles, and J.D. Power rates each make as well as the top individual models based on how many problems were experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100).
Debunking the idea that carryover models are more dependable than new or updated models, the 2013 study found that the average carryover model experienced 133 PP100, while all-new or redesigned vehicles for the 2010 model year had 116 PP100; vehicles that received minor changes fared the best with just 111 PP100. The overall average for all makes was 126 PP100, which is the lowest figure since the findings were first issued in 1989.
