1971 Porsche 911 911 on 2040-cars
Coyote Springs, Nevada, United States
If you have any questions feel free to email me at: tracietggore@skywalkers.org .
Offered for your consideration is a 1971 PORSCHE 911E (2.2 liter) with 86,000 original miles. It is a matching
numbers car and has been in the same ownership for the last 20 years. As you can see in pictures, it has been
driven, but it has been well taken care of. The same mechanic has been repairing it for the last 7 years or so. It
has the rare but infamous Sportomatic transmission that is a clutch-less manual; rare because most cars have been
converted to a manual transmission for ease of maintenance. It also has the sweet running original fuel injected
engine. The car is not currently running due to transmission issues.
I am selling this for my friend's widow. He was hell bent on keeping his car original and was sourcing all the
parts needed to rebuild the transmission when he suddenly passed away. The engine and transmission is currently off
the car; everything is stored at the Porsche repair shop. We are selling it as-is. I can arrange to view the car
with an appointment.
Pros:
Matching numbers car.
It has the original unmolested, unopened (as far as we know) engine which is becoming a rarity in the classic
Porsche market and the mechanical fuel injection is original and fully functional.
Car is one of the few unmolested long hood Porsches left with the original Sportomatic transmission. Quirky or
not, It has a decent fiberglass RSR wide body conversion along with a whale tail and it is RED!!
The interior is upgraded to a late model 911 including seats with much better ergonomics. It is again red.
Momo sprot steering wheel.
Car is never crashed or damaged and we have a clear title in hand (title transferred in 2016 in widow’s name)
Good brakes and all other ancillaries according to the mechanic who worked on this car for the last few years.
Service records are available for the last 20 years or so.
Overall a very good candidate to put back together and restore to original given the skyrocketing appreciation
long hoods are enjoying in the recent past.
It has the factory sunroof and all glass is in good shape too.
Did I mention it is RED inside and out??!!!
Cons:
The transmission had an issue where it would only shift between first and second gears; it would not shift to
third or fourth. However the car ran on 1 and 2 gears when taken apart a year ago. The issue is with the pneumatic
actuator according to the mechanic. There are quite a few rebuilt pneumatic actuators on ebay as we speak but
procuring one has been a problem at one time. The other option again will be to convert it into a 901 5-speed
manual which is what most people did to these cars anyway. In any case, it makes sense to save the original
transmission. Given the desirability of these cars, the day will come when people will be scrambling to find one
and that is when the Sportomatic should be installed back.
The motor has developed the dreaded 8th main oil leakage from behind the crank pulley for the last couple of
years and it has been fixed reasonably well with the aluminum sleeve solution. It still seeps and need a quart of
oil every few thousand miles.
The fiberglass body kit is professionally installed but an original matching numbers car like this would have
been much more valuable if it had the original steel body and bumpers. To those who know 911s, it is a relatively
easy conversion back should you procure the bumpers and fenders. Bolt on for the most parts.
Once again the leather interior is from a newer Porsche and is not original to this car. I was told that the
original parts are saved somewhere, but since we cannot find them, it is not included in sale.

Porsche looks back on very first 911 Turbo
Wed, 11 Jun 2014Porsche has really hit on a winning formula with its series of videos going inside its vault. So far, we've seen the V8 911 prototype, mid-engine test mule and aerodynamic prototype. The company is sticking with the 911 theme in the latest entry, but this time it's an actual production car - the very first 911 Turbo ever made.
Being the first Turbo would make it important enough, but the car was also a birthday present for Louise Piëch, daughter of Ferdinand Porsche and sister to Ferry Porsche, and she regularly used the car. The family didn't just hand her a random car off the assembly line, either. She got to make it her own with some interesting modifications. She supposedly even painted landscapes from inside the car.
You have to wonder what Piëch thought of her present. The early Turbos had a reputation for being a bit of a handful to drive. The boost tended to bring the power all at once, which wasn't always welcome when cornering. She deserves some honor just for driving the car on the curvy, alpine roads. Scroll down to learn about this important Porsche, and we can't wait to see what car the brand showcases next.
2015 Porsche Panamera Exclusive Series is a seriously quick way to spend $260k
Wed, 19 Nov 2014Porsche is usually associated with being a sports car brand, but with vehicles like the Cayenne and Panamera it takes a step into the world of luxury against firmly established players like Mercedes-Benz. One way for the company to poke its head above the high-class fray is by taking things further, and in the case of the Panamera Exclusive Series at the Los Angeles Auto Show, it means pushing grandeur to extreme levels.
Coming in at an absolutely eye-watering $263,900, plus $995 destination, the Panamera Exclusive starts its life as the already sumptuous Panamera Turbo S Executive with a 4.8-liter, twin-turbo V8 making 570 horsepower on an extended wheelbase. To help justify the extra $63,000 for the Exclusive, though, the model gets 20-inch black Sport Classic wheels and an interior in swaddled in Nappa leather with dark walnut and piano black trim. Rear passengers also get 10.1-inch touchscreens mounted on the back of the front seats. A set of fitted Poltrana Frau leather luggage is included with each one, as well.
The luxurious sedan earns it Exclusive moniker because just 100 of them are being made worldwide. Scroll down to read about Porsche's ultimate limousine.
Man arrested for stealing part of Paul Walker Porsche wreck
Fri, 06 Dec 2013Humans are odd creatures. Some of us collect things associated with bad events, particularly when it comes to cars. Your author, for example, has the grille of his wrecked 2004 Mini Cooper S hanging on the wall. As a more extreme example, an 18-year-old Californian is in trouble with the LA police, but not for taking an item from his own car accident. Instead, he has been arrested for stealing from the wreck of the Porsche Carrera GT that killed actor Paul Walker and racer Roger Rodas.
And it wasn't a small piece, either. It was the Carrera GT's carbon-fiber roof panel. Making matters worse is word that the theft happened while the tow truck that was hauling the wrecked Porsche was sitting in traffic. According to the LA Sheriff's Department report, "A witness saw a male exit a vehicle that was following the tow truck. The male grabbed a piece of the wrecked Porsche off the tow truck bed." Besides the eyewitnesses, it didn't help that images of the roof panel were later posted on Instagram.
The man, Jameson Witty, was later arrested at his home, where police also found the roof panel. The driver of the car Witty was in when he took the roof panel, meanwhile, is planning on surrendering to the police, according to CNN. It remains unclear if the district attorney's office will charge the two, although if it does, they'll be facing felony grand theft and tampering with evidence.
