Up for Auction is my 1980 911 SC Targa in rare Mocha Brown. This car has 72,235 miles. My father and I have owned it since 1999. He bought it for himself as a 50th birthday gift to himself and then handed it down to me as a wedding gift 4 years ago. The car is a rare color, Mocha Brown. It is a rich, dark brown, and almost looks black when the sun isn't shining on it. The paint is beautiful, there isn't a scratch or dent to be found. The car received a full exterior repaint in its original color (Mocha Brown) 4 years ago due to some small scratches and chips in the paint from road use.

The interior is a tan/cork color. The front seats were redone in high quality German vinyl about 5 years ago. The interior is very nice except for a few small cracks on the dashboard. I have the dash covered with a carpet cover that I purchased from Porsche performance products. It looks nice and cuts down on any glare. There is also a crack in the rear vinyl on the rear shelf near the rear speaker on the passenger rear (see picture). It doesn't really bother me so I let it be. There is a small brown spot on the rear seat bottom on drivers side (see picture). The steering wheel is a very nice Porsche Nardi steering wheel. The power windows works fine but the passenger side is a little slow going up.

The motor is the standard and original 3.0. It starts up and idles great. All the necessary upgrades have been done, Carrera Chain tensioners, and Pop off valve. This car also has the commonly upgraded SSI heat exchangers. The Air Conditioning doesn't work although the vehicle was equipped from the factory with A/C. Not sure if it is the compressor or something else. It has never worked and we never missed it, as we usually have the targa top off when we take it out, which is only on nice days.

The car shifts fine throughout all the gears, no grinding of any sort. We have always used high end gear oil, either Redline or Mobil 1. The suspension was upgraded a year or two after my Father purchased the car. Bilstein Greens were installed on the vehicle. It handles very nice, not too bumpy and very precise steering feel. The wheels are the original Fuchs in excellent condition. Brand new Hankook Ventus Evo tires were mounted 3 months ago, they have less than 20 miles on them .

The targa top works as it should locking in place very tight. The windshield has some small pitting in it, but no cracks or chips.

We have installed a CD player with mp3 hook up and replaced the speakers with newer better quality Alpine speakers all in the original factory speaker locations, no extra cutting of the interior, etc. It sounds very nice, although I still prefer the sound of the flat 6 engine behind me. We installed a battery shut off on the battery, as an extra precaution when the car is parked. It does however have an aftermarket alarm which works fine.

I have all of the maintenance paperwork from our ownership since 1999 and the original owners manual with the original dealer card. I do not have any service records prior to our ownership unfortunately. However we knew the person we bought it from and knew that he pampered the vehicle and was on top of all the maintenance.

This car doesn't leak any oil at all. It hasn't leaked a drop of fluid since we owned it since 1999.

There are a few small items that the could be addressed it the new owner decides to. The trip odometer doesn't work. The main odometer does work fine however. The exhaust has some surface rust on it, although it is most likely OK the way it is as there are no holes or rust through, I am just trying to be very thorough in my description. I noticed a few months ago while vacuuming the trunk area that there was some slight corrosion starting under the battery area. So I removed the battery and sanded the area then prepped it with POR 15 rust stop/ inhibitor then applied 3M undercoating to the area under the battery and also under the spare tire as a precaution. I also noticed that some of the factory undercoating was starting to peel off underneath the vehicle under the trunk pan where road debris/stones etc kick up so I also applied por 15 and 3M undercoating to that area as a precaution. The trunk carpet fits fine and does the job but there is a couple tears in it and could stand to be replaced. I mentioned before that the A/C doesn't work. All exterior lights/ fog lights/interior lights/dash lights all work as they should. The clock works fine as well. I have a soft top that attaches to the windows to keep strangers/ bird poop, etc out of the interior when the targa top is off and the car is parked. I don't have picture with the spare tire mounted in the trunk but I have it and will have it mounted back in prior to the sale along with the trunk carpet. The hood shocks that hold up the hood and the engine lid shocks that hold up the engine lid do not work. They are a cheap part on Pelicanparts.net but we never got around to it as it never really bothered us

I encourage all bidders to ask questions prior to bidding. Even though this car is in great shape it is still a 33 year old vehicle. I tried to be thorough but may have forgotten to list a thing or two so make sure to ask questions. Potential bidders can email me at cpdjfd@yahoo.com and I will give a phone # over the email as well. I don't want to post my phone # on this posting as there are too many scammers/ resalers/ dealers etc. Shipping is to be paid for by the buyer and is the responsibility of the buyer, although I will assist as much as I can. The car is also listed for sale locally so I reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time. There is no warranty written or implied with this vehicle.

Good Luck, I am sure the new owner will love to be behind the wheel of this beauty.

Porsche 960 could come with quad-turbo flat-eight engine

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Getting a bead on the target that is the so-called Porsche 960 is not easy, as the target keeps moving. First labeled the 960, then the 961, and now back to being called the 960, it is Porsche's take on a supercar specifically aimed at Ferrari - the latest report in Automobile says that Porsche's internal moniker for it is "FeFi," which stands for "Ferrari Fighter." Because it is expected to cost as much as the top-tier V12 Ferrari, Porsche wants the engine solution to justify the price tag. That means, according to author Georg Kacher, a 3.9-liter, quad-turbo flat-eight engine with 650 horsepower.
Last summer, the engine was mooted to be a twin-turbo flat six. A few months later, the rumor was that it would use the 4.6-liter V8 from the 918 and have about 570 horsepower. This new mid-engine configuration would be quite the leap, giving the 960 more power than the 918 Spyder (pictured) and 911 GT2 RS, and utilize other tech features like four adjustable camshafts and "a complex multistage intake manifold." In this scenario, power would be run through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive.
Build materials are still slated to be a hodgepodge of materials including aluminum, steel, carbon fiber, titanium and magnesium. The boosted flat-eight, all-wheel drive and a 3,000-pound weight could get the 960 from zero to 60 miles per hour in just 2.5 seconds. Since it is looking squarely at Ferrari, the idea that the 960 will be a "four-door coupe" can probably be put to rest. For now.

These enthusiasts have the same passion that fans in England, the United States or Germany have for the Carrera. Take a look below at the full video, to see what the 911 enthusiasts of Taiwan love about their 911s.

Porsche announces plan to replace 911 GT3 engines

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

About a month back, we reported that Porsche was suspending delivery of its 911 GT3 due to reported incidents of the engine bursting into flames. A few days later, Porsche told owners of the new track-ready models not to drive their cars and had their local dealers pick up the cars in question. Just a couple of days ago, we reported that Porsche was working on a fix, and now we have the official details.
Following an internal investigation prompted by two such incidents, Porsche has confirmed that is has identified the problem as resulting "from a loosened screw joint on the connecting rod." The loose connecting rod, Porsche found, damaged the crankcase, which in turn resulted in oil leaking and then - in at least two cases - igniting.
Our source is unaware of Porsche being contacted by GT3 owners concerned about the impact of a replacement engine on their car's collectibility or resale value.
