1978 Porsche 911 on 2040-cars
Santa Rosa, California, United States
I am selling my very rare 1978 Porsche 911 SC Targa, all original, low miles, (82k) unrestored and impeccably
maintained throughout its life. This is a one-of-a-kind car. When ordering the Porsche Certificate of
Authenticity,
Everything works-- from the clock to the up/down antenna. I have the maintenance records from both owners as well
as the 1978 bill of sale. You can even speak with the specialist who performed the maintenance over the years.
Included in this sale are an original Porsche bra (I have never used), the complete original Porsche tool kit, two
car covers (indoors and outdoors), and the original cassette holders that fit into the console. This car is all
original. I never even installed a right side mirror. The only change I made was to install a radio that fits
into the same space as the original. I kept the original cassette deck radio which you can reinstall so it feels
like 1978 all over again.
Original paint and original blue leather interior. The leather doors,
dash and package tray are all excellent. Driver seat shows some normal wear. The folding Targa top was
reupholstered as original when I purchased it 20 years ago. The top folds and fits inside the trunk, which is also
in impeccable condition. There are two small scratches in the front hood and three small scratches on the rear
deck lid. I did not have these repainted (just touched up) just due to my desire to keep the original paint.
She's fully-loaded, too. Here are the options that were purchased when Porsche built this one-of-a-kind beauty:
air conditioning, power windows, limited slip differential, headlight washers, premium Radio Bamburg, black trim
instead of chrome, engine compartment light, chrome parts in matte- finished black, headlight rings exterior color,
fog/driving lights.

EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi
Sun, 25 Nov 2012EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.
Porsche calls in The Committee for Boxster and Cayman GTS
Thu, 20 Mar 2014Porsche is set to offer up the very first GTS variants of its more affordable Boxster convertibles and Cayman coupes. This is very good news for enthusiasts. Aside from our original post announcing the hotted up models, though, Porsche hasn't given us much to go on.
And you know what? This video isn't much of help either. It's called The Committee, and we're guessing it's meant to highlight the lengths that Porsche went to in designing what are essentially sportier trim levels for its two most affordable entries. Still, it's a stylized and entertaining video with a few entertaining driving scenes scattered throughout, and it gives just a small glimpse of Porsche's view of the vaunted GTS badge.
Take a look below for the full video.
Jaguar F-Type pitted against Porsche 911 Cabriolet by Tiff Needell
Wed, 24 Apr 2013You knew it wouldn't take long and it looks like EVO is first onto YouTube with a battle between the 2014 Jaguar F-Type and the 2013 Porsche 911. Tiff Needell spends a few laps warming up the tires (read: drifting like mad) in each droptop before getting in a timed run to see who's champion and who's second best.
Before the bell rings, its the Porsche that's got everything to lose, the 50-year-old era-defining sportscar getting on with a 3.4-liter flat-six, 350 horsepower, a seven-speed manual and a 3,197-pound curb weight. Other sportscars, like the F-Type, continue to eye the 911 like a flag atop Everest that they plan to first touch, and then rip from its socket. The mid-trim Jaguar rolls into the contest with a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 with 380 hp, an eight-speed automatic with paddle shifters and a curb weight of 3,521 pounds.
The video below shows you what happens when you let all those numbers fight it out on the same stretch of curvy track. Check it out.
