I am selling my 911 S as I would like a change. I have owned this car since 2004 (I have the title in my name), in that time I have put 7,000 miles on it. I have used it for short weekend drives mainly but also the odd 100 miles plus journey. I have always had the car serviced by a Porsche specialist and perhaps spent $6,000 or so on the car since I have had it; on things like new brakes, new windscreen, shift linkage bushings, etc. The car is in my opinion a very nice driving car. I am not a mechanic, expert or dealer so from my limited expertise I would say the car is very nice. The pictures included are all taken in the last few days or weeks. It presents very well and drives well. The underneath shots show the ziebart rust proofing treatment the car had from when it was first bought years ago. To my eye there is no obvious rust of any type other than where an exposed under section like a sway-bar or a shielding has surface rust. The car has all the bills and records from literally its first repair/service, it also has the service booklet, I have all the original keys, owner's manual and sleeve. Also there is the COA from a previous owner (original engine #6331271 is in the car - someone just asked me and I checked). The seats are Recaro (have the original warranty) for those too. The thing that this car has that will be a plus or minus depending on what you want it is the modification to the engine. It is supercharged. The car is very fast. I have the bill and the pictures of the engine when built (see photos) - about 30,000 miles ago/circa 1989 at a cost of $10,000 plus the engine was rebuilt and a new breathing system installed, to accommodate the pulley the bonnet was tastefully modified too. The pictures show the changes. This was all done long before I owned the car so I cannot answer too much detail. Car was serviced about 200 miles ago.

Ebay asks that I describe faults so these are the main faults in my view, I am trying to be as honest as I can and leave it up to you to judge what you think of the car vs. being a huckster. The paint is very high quality but there are a few small cracks at seems e.g. where A pillar and fender meet, the clock does not work, the A/C plumbing was removed when the engine was modified and does not come with car, the car starts every time but as I don't drive it too much it smokes for the first minute or two but once warmed up is fine, like many 911's it weeps oil but nothing too bothersome, the driver's seat has a small fraying on side that seems to be not getting any worse, the dash top was cracked and a cap put on it and some of the rubber weather stripping would need replacing.

This car is being sold "as is" and "where is" with no guarantees implied or otherwise. The sale is final. I ask for a non-refundable deposit in the amount of $1,000 within 72 hours of the auction end via bank wire transfer or cashier's check via overnight mail. Fully cleared funds of full payment must be received within 10 days of auction regardless of when you arrange for pick up of vehicle. If deposit is not received within the required period of time, the vehicle will be offered for sale to runner up high bidder or re-listed. This is to be considered an absolute sale and the buyer is required to comply with all of my conditions in these terms of sale. With your winning bid the auction you agree with my terms of sale and the terms of sale are to be considered a legal and binding purchase agreement. There are no inspections to be made after the auction ends. I reserve the right to cancel any bid at any time and to end the auction early for any reason. I have tried to describe in any known flaws in the vehicle. The displayed odometer mileage on the vehicle is correct at the time of listing. This is an older car, 40 years old, so condition is a subjective thing to individual. I shall not be responsible for the absolute correct description, authenticity, genuineness, or defects herein, and make no guaranties or warranty in connection with the sale of this vehicle. My description of the vehicle is for presentation only and not to be accepted as a warranty of any type. It is up to the buyer to have themselves satisfied as to the condition and value of the vehicle before bidding and to bid based upon that judgment only. I assume no responsibility for any repairs whatsoever regardless of any oral or written statements about the vehicle.

Good luck and thank you for your interest

Meet the man that discovered and restored the oldest existing Porsche

Tue, 11 Mar 2014

Luciano Rupolo is an absolutely fascinating gentleman. He was born in France but spent nearly his entire life in Italy as an auto mechanic running his own shop. His grandfather and father instilled a love of sports cars in him that he carried on by historic racing in Italy for decades. He saw his life-long automotive passion repaid when he found and restored the car that might have been the first Porsche registered for the road.
You can spot in his garage a split-window Corvette, Ferrari 250 GTE and other exotics, but Rupolo's most interesting automotive story concerns his Iso Grifo Competizione (pictured above). The sports coupe was found in the Canary Islands as little more than a shell, but Rupolo got help from a prestigious source for its restoration. The result is a motoring masterpiece.
Rupolo is a fantastic storyteller with a captivating, tale to tell. Settle in, scroll down and watch the bittersweet documentary about his life with one of the first Porsches.

Evo pits BMW M3 against Porsche Macan in drag battle

Sun, 24 Aug 2014

If you want to move five passengers in very rapid fashion and you've got a $75,000 budget, two newly introduced four-door models immediately come to mind - both are the highest performing vehicles in their respective segments. But which is faster off the line, to the 60-mile-per-hour benchmark or flat-out over an even longer run? Evo took both to paved aircraft runway to find out.
In lane one we've got the all-new Porsche Macan Turbo, which boasts a twin-turbocharged, 3.6-liter V6 rated at 400 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. The Porsche is fitted with a seven-speed, dual-clutch gearbox, and the 4,244-pound crossover has the traction advantage of standard all-wheel drive. In lane two is the all-new BMW M3, powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six rated at 425 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. It is also equipped with a seven-speed, dual-clutch gearbox, but only the rear wheels of the 3,595-pound sedan are driven. Both the BMW and Porsche arrive with launch control, which helps to remove driver error off the line.
Which automaker's launch control system is better off the line? Does all-wheel-drive grip give the crossover the advantage it needs to overcome its adversary's power-to-weight advantage? Will aerodynamics factor into the results? Which would you put in your garage, and why? The video may surprise you.

Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]

Sun, 26 Jan 2014

If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.
