You're bidding on a 1977 Porsche 911S that I bought cause I was looking for a mechanically strong car and didn't care too much about the cosmetics. It fires up immediately and runs strong all day. It is a ten-foot car though-- looks great from ten feet, but as you approach some blemishes become apparent. Has some tears in the interior. It's just a hell of a good driver, not a show queen.
If you want more info: This car runs strong and had a compression test at 154,000mi the individual compressions were: 140, 155,159, 140, 147, and 154 psi. Over the 7000 mi I've owned it, I've had the oil changed twice and it's due for another one along with a 12,000mi tune up. The tires were also replaced when I purchased the car. I have records for the car going back eight years and if you're interested, please email. Had the wheel bearings and front brakes done at about 155,000mi. It does have A/C and cruise control, but neither work. It has had the engine upgrades done (so it doesn't self destruct) and is otherwise very original. Lights, windows, sunroof work. Any questions, email. If you're local, you can schedule a test-drive. If you have no feedback, don't bid without contacting me.
The car was originally purchased new in the Bay Area and I believe that it's spent its entire life in California as there is no visible rust. I'm not a Porsche guy (don't care for rear engine) and didn't expect to like driving it as much as I do, but it is very well balanced and easy to drive in the twisties. I'm selling it just so I can buy another car for my next adventure. This gorgeous old Porsche is sold as is, where is, with no explicit or implied warranty and I reserve the right to end this auction early if it's purchased locally.

Proof the world revolves around the Porsche Cayman
Sat, 27 Apr 2013Or at least the world revolves underneath the Porsche Cayman, in the latest video showing off Stuttgart's mid-engine coupe. Porsche put an Easter egg in the world that spins triple-time, a "famous relative" of the Cayman hidden somewhere on the marble planet, and gave a Porsche Martini bag to one of the first 50 people who could point it out.
With more than 300 views there's no chance you'll win the bag, but you can still go on the treasure hunt in the video below.
Porsche finally moving ahead with flat four engine
Sun, 23 Mar 2014When Porsche released the first Boxster in 1996 and the first Cayman in 2005, the idea was to create an entry-level model for the German automaker's sports car range. The latest iterations of both closely related models, however, have begun to encroach dangerously on the 911's territory, particularly in their newest GTS specifications. That could be about to change, however, with the introduction of a four-cylinder engine for the compact mid-engined coupe and roadster.
According to Automotive News, Porsche is finally preparing to launch a new boxer four engine in the Boxster and Cayman, following years of speculation. The engine would be based on the same architecture as the company's famous flat six, but with two fewer cylinders to cut weight. Don't expect it to cut much in the way of performance, however: Porsche chief Matthias Muller indicates that the new engine could produce as much as 395 horsepower - significantly more than even the 340hp flat six in the Cayman GTS, suggesting that the engine could even find its way into the 911 as well.
It's no more clear which markets would get the four-cylinder engine, either. But wherever it is offered and in whichever form, it wouldn't be the first time we'd see a Porsche with a four-pot engine. Not by a long shot. Both the classic 912 and 356 were powered by boxer fours, as was the 914 - not to mention the 718 pictured above and the iconic 550 Spyder. The front-engined 924, 944 and 968 packed inline-four engines, but the last of those were discontinued in the 1990s. The prospect of a four-cylinder Boxster/Cayman has been rumored for many years now, most recently joined by the possibility of a four-pot Macan as well.
Porsche's former CEO Wiedeking to stand trial over VW-share manipulation
Wed, 27 Aug 2014Former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (left in the above photo) could potentially be facing some time in the slammer after all. The last we had heard, he and former Chief Financial Officer Holger Haerter (right) had avoided a trial in April due to a lack of evidence. However, an appeals court in Stuttgart has looked at the case again and overruled the earlier decision, finding that the executives should be tried for share manipulation during Porsche's failed attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008, Bloomberg reports.
The judges in the appeal "list numerous indications that could suggest that there was a hidden decision to increase the stake as they could suggest the opposite evaluation by the lower court," said Stefan Schueler, a spokesperson for the court, in a statement cited by Bloomberg. Wiedeking and Haerter put out their own releases saying that there was no merit to the charges.
The prosecutors allege that Wiedeking and Haerter had a plan to buy up VW stock options in 2008 to take the automotive giant over but hid it from investors. The whole thing was a massive failure and eventually allowed VW the chance to acquire Porsche and forced the two execs to step down. In addition to the criminal investigation, hedge funds have attempted to sue the company multiple times in civil court for the same reason, but they have repeatedly failed.
