This vehicle is in great overall condition. I am active duty military and during the past year I was deployed to Afghanistan. For that reason, the car was sitting in storage and required a lot of work to get it back into top mechanical condition. The work was done by the best European auto specialist in El Paso, and it now runs, drives, and handles like a true sports car. Included is a photo of the invoice that lists everything that was replaced which totaled $2850. I also had the whole exterior re-painted and polished in its original, gorgeous pearl-white color (another $1300), so there is not one dent or scratch on the exterior of the vehicle. The only parts of the body that were not painted were the inner door jams, so you will see marks and scratches on them when the doors are open. The wheels were re-painted as well to make them look great and really stand out against the pearl white body. The A/C blows really cold, and the windshield wipers were just replaced. New tires were put on a couple years ago, but due to the car being in storage, they have less than 500 miles worth of use. I also got started on a custom black and white interior a couple years ago to make the inside match the outside of the vehicle. As you can see from the photos, the seats, door panels, and some pieces on the center console were re-covered and the roll bars and gear shift knob were painted. I intended to use the money I saved from my deployment to make this a car-show quality vehicle, but unfortunately some personal and financial circumstances have just come up and I cannot afford to finish or keep the car. With that being said, there are still quite a few blemishes on the interior. The carpet on the floor of the driver side is a little worn and starting to come apart by the fuse box (shown in photo). I purchased some $130 custom-made floor mats to cover the wear and make the floors look great. You can see a bit of wear from rubbing against the roll bar and a scratch on the back of the passenger seat. Also a small blue mark in the white part of the driver seat. The center console shows some wear and tear around the ash tray and the hand-brake lever has a crack and also shows some wear. The steering wheel has been re-wrapped, but you can still see a little bit of wear and pitting. There is a very small blemish in the white leather on the driver-side door handle. The passenger seat is missing a plastic cover plate, but is really only noticeable if the passenger door is open. The convertible-top window is a bit cloudy. You can see when you look out the back, but the images will appear somewhat blurry (photo is provided so you can get an idea of how cloudy it is). There is a scratch in the tint on the passenger door window (cannot be seen in photos). The convertible top operates just fine, but the light on the dash stays on when the top is closed. Once you put the top down, the light goes off. Also the air bag warning light stays on. Finally, the horn and alarm are not working. I tried replacing the fuse, but they still didn't work. Those are all the faults that I am aware of. It sounds like a lot of faults, but they are mostly small, cosmetic blemishes and all in the interior. I just want to make sure that I am disclosing every flaw to the best of my knowledge, and I have tried to include good pics of all blemishes that would show up well in photos. The Experian report shows a clean vehicle history with no past problems. The mileage is a little higher than a lot of other Boxsters, but is still pretty good for a vehicle of this age. I paid off the bank loan last month and have the clear Texas title in my possession. It just passed the Texas state emissions inspection as well. Included with the purchase of the car, are the books you see in the photo and the custom Euro-style license plate with mounting frame. If you would like, I can also throw in a brake calipers paint kit. I purchased the kit, but never actually got around to painting the calipers. The paint is white and it includes a set of black Porsche logo stickers. There is no reserve, but I am starting the bidding at the lowest price that I can accept. Over the past two months, I have put thousands into paying off and fixing up this car, but as mentioned earlier, I am now forced to sell it as is. It's very close to being 100% complete and car show ready. If you purchase this vehicle, you would be helping a veteran out greatly. I prefer that payment be made by bank wire transfer from a US financial institution, but I will also accept a cashier's check from a US financial institution. Payment must be received within seven days of the auction's close. If you do the bank wire, I will cover the cost of the transfer by reducing the final sale price by $25. Pick up or shipping needs to be arranged by the buyer. I will answer any of your questions to the best of my ability and as quickly as possible. Thank you for viewing.

1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS takes center stage with Petrolicious
Wed, 04 Jun 2014Today, one of the most exciting track toys available is the Porsche 911 GT3. Its forbearer, though, was an altogether different beast that was every bit as exciting. Yes, we're talking about the old 911 Carrera RS that blessed the early 1970s. With a mere 1,580 cars built, meant specifically to satisfy the FIA's homologation requirements, the RS is one rare pre-Malaise era cars.
Complete with a 2.7-liter flat-six engine, this RS of Mark Haddawy is one of the earlier examples of the breed (later cars received a larger, 3.0-liter engine). Still, it can scamper to 60 miles per hour in a very respectable 5.6 seconds and will happily hit 150 mph in a straight line. Sporting Porsche's iconic duckbill rear spoiler, the equally iconic Fuchs wheels, as well as slew of options, as Haddawy points out, each of the nearly 1,600 RS models is its own unique iteration on the Porsche performance formula.
Take a look below for the latest video from the crew at Petrolicious.
1950s car ads are timeless
Sat, Aug 8 2015Usually 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.

Recharge Wrap-up: Big Oil fails at renewable fuel, scientists study air with EVs, plug-in Panamera sales
Thu, Jul 10 2014Big Oil companies help keep renewable fuels out of your tank, a new report shows. No surprise there, right? The Renewable Fuels Association published a report card grading the country's largest retail gasoline chains on fuel offerings like E85 and E15. The report gave failing grades, with less than one percent of stations offering E15 or E85, to "Big Five" companies Exxon, BP, ConocoPhillips, Chevron and Shell, among other oil company and convenience/grocery store brands. The only major oil companies that didn't get an "F" were Valero (D), Cenex (B), and Marathon (A-). The eight companies that scored an A+ had at least 25 percent of their stations offering E85 or E15.

Beginning July 4, University of Leicester researchers began driving electric vehicles kitted out with special sensors to monitor air quality throughout the city (similar to how California does it). Now their emissions-free daily driving duties double as data collection for their studies. "By monitoring air quality as a seamless part of our daily transport system, we are providing a cost-effective way to help inform future policy and operational systems," says the University's Dr. Roland Leigh.

"There is no doubt electric cars are the future." – Nissan's Andy Palmer Nissan is exploring the idea of taking its Leaf EV to India, but a lack of charging options is an obstacle. According to Nissan's chief planning officer Andy Palmer, "There is no doubt electric cars are the future. The product is there, what we need is infrastructure. Charging is a big challenge." Though Nissan stopped short of saying it (this time), this could possibly mean working with Mahindra, which said it is open to collaborating with other companies concerning EVs. Learn more in this article from the Hindustan Times and know that India is rolling out a plan to encourage the production and adoption of EVs. The National Electric Mobility Mission Plan will get over $2 billion in funding, and some of that will go toward creating a charging infrastructure (you hear that, Nissan?). This is good news for EV manufacturers, India's economy and people who enjoy breathing clean air.
