Baltic, Connecticut, United States
More infos regarding my car at: lydalggattis@ukboss.com .
Good honest 1979 Euro spec 911 SC. Factory air conditioning and power windows. Pulled from a dry garage two years
ago after sitting for ten years, this rust free car was treated to a full paint and interior. The fuel injection
was rebuilt, the brakes were done and the whole fuel system was flushed. All fluid were changed and the ca has
been road drive 150 miles since all the work has been performed.
Currently the air conditioning does not work but all the components are there and function. Aside from that , the
car is a pretty well sorted driver quality car.
It is a numbers matching car with its original engine and transmission. The car has its tool kit and manuals as
well. There is an aftermarket radio but aside from that, the car is stock and unmodified from new.
I have service receipts going back several years which includes the valve service done about 30 KM ago. The car
smokes a moment at start up after sitting more than a day or so but otherwise runs out smoothly. Th eclutch is
good and the brakes are also excellent. The E-brake works as well. All lights work.
The paint job was done late last year and is about equivalent to a factory paint job It is not show but very nice.
There is a small send under the rocker on the drivers side. The interior is outstanding with perfect seats and
carpeting. The instruments are original and the bezels have some minor pitting.
The pans and floors are excellent original with no rust or rust repair at all. The car has its original spare and
jack. The engine bay is not detailed. It does not leak.
The glass is all original. The roof liner is excellent. Some of the exterior rubber has some slight fading.
Overall, this is a nice and inexpensive entry in to the air cooled Porsche world. The car can be worked on and
driven and enjoyed at the same time. It does have needs as noted in this description but there is nothing to keep
its new owner from driving & enjoying it.

Porsche 911 GT3 named Performance Car of the Year by Road & Track
Thu, 13 Nov 2014The Porsche 911 GT3 is a very, very good performance car. Yes, we know this is like saying fire is hot and a shovel to the head hurts. What's different about this proclamation, then? Well, we bring up the 911 GT3's inherent goodness because our friends at Road & Track have named it their 2015 performance car of the year.
This is, our joking aside, a big accomplishment for the 911 GT3, due largely to the field of cars it beat out. There were many equally track-focused wonders in attendance, including the Ferrari 458 Speciale, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 and Dodge Viper SRT TA, as well as more capable everyday vehicles, like the Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, BMW M3 and Ford Mustang GT.
But it was the 475-horsepower, rear-engined track star that R&T fell for, with editor-in-chief Larry Webster calling out the Porsche's ridiculous, howling, 9,000-rpm redline, while other editors cited its phenomenal handling character.
Porsche Panamera Turbo S vs Ariel Atom Supercharged in unlikely drag battle
Thu, 01 May 2014David versus Goliath battles are always an enticing proposition, because they offer the chance to watch scrappy underdogs take on their bigger rivals. Evo has set up just such a battle with its latest drag race between the minimalist Ariel Atom 3.5 Supercharged (Ariel Atom 3 pictured below) and the plush Porsche Panamera Turbo S.
The two cars couldn't be more different. The Atom personifies Lotus founder Colin Chapman's well-known axiom: "Simplify, then add lightness." Most of the car doesn't even have a body; it's just an exposed frame with a 310 horsepower supercharged Honda four-cylinder mounted behind the driver. On the other side, there's the Panamera Turbo S. In the latest version, it packs 570 hp and 553 pound-feet from its 4.8-liter twin-turbo V8 and it features all-wheel drive. Of course, all of that comes with a significant weight penalty.
Off the line, the differences are even more apparent. The Atom doesn't have any of the Porsche's technological wizardry, so launching it challenges the driver to build the revs and let out the clutch just right. The car screams like a banshee as it goes, though. The Porsche is the exact opposite. Its launch control system lets the driver hold down the brake, get on the throttle and accelerate away in just the right way.
Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy
Wed, 24 Jul 2013J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.
