1984 (not 1980) Euro Porsche 911 Cab, 74k Miles, Beautiful Project, No Reserve on 2040-cars
Conway, South Carolina, United States
|
You're looking at my rare true "Euro" version 1984 Porsche 911 cabriolet with only 74k miles. The European VIN won't work for eBay's system, so I had to list it as a 1980 but it's a Euro 1984. It is numbers matching and will be a gorgeous car when done. This car ran and drove great until a wiring harness issue arose from a mouse chewing some of the wiring by the firewall under the hood (behind the gauges)...car was on a trickle charger in the garage and the hood was open just enough for a critter to get in and have some fun. My mechanic started taking everything apart and labeled every wire as to what it connected to (all wires are still connected at the fuse block). Unfortunately, he was doing it "on the side" and was taking too long and I just pulled it from him so I could sell it. My wife and I just bought a new river house and decided to sell most of my Porsche collection to put towards the new house...so...this must go. It has leather factory sport seats that are in overall good condition. The carpet is in great shape, and new mats are included. The car ran and shifted fine before this issue. The soft top is in good working order. The cloth is in fine condition, but the plastic window could use replacing as it's discolored. The original dash has a few typical cracks. Door panels are nice. All gauges were in working order when taken out to address the wiring issue. The original painted Fuch wheels are in great shape. Tires are older and should be replaced. All brake calipers were rebuilt/replaced and rotors turned or replaced. Comes with original spare, tool kit, jack and manual. AC compressor is disconnected but is in the car. The car simply needs someone with patience and time to reconnect the harness. Another harness comes with the car as a backup to pull sections from if needed. The car is rust free and will be worth in the $35-40k range when done. The original paint is faded in several places and should be redone to be pristine, but looks fine from 10'. If I didn't need to sell it I wouldn't, but the new house takes priority. See my other listings for more Porsche's I'm selling...you can see the '79 Targa and '91 C2 cab in the background in a few pics. Feel free to message me with questions/offers. Ask any and all questions prior to bidding. I am a private collector, not a dealer, so all sales are final and no warranties are expressed or implied. Thanks for looking and happy bidding. This is a no reserve auction so the last bid wins. I will gladly work with international bidders, and the Port of Charleston is less than 3 hours from me. Please do not bid if you do not plan on following through.

2015 Porsche Boxster GTS [w/video]
Thu, 22 May 2014You know the sound: the startling pop-brraaap-pop-pop shotgun fire of unspent flammables coursing through exhaust pipes that usually signals a raw, naughty powerplant beneath the hood.
But when you're nestled in the Porsche Boxster GTS' snug seats, it's not a crackling small block V8 or a high-strung Italian flat crank making the devilish racket, but rather the new king of the Boxster/Cayman lineup, a 3.4-liter flat-six that produces 330 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque.
Within the emotional vacuum of a spec sheet, the Boxster GTS' pumped-up grunt seems pretty mild, with a gain of only 15 hp and 7 lb-ft, respectively. But the reworked acoustical experience goes a long way towards suggesting the GTS has a trace of racing blood in its veins, and might even be missing its catalytic converters. In addition to the sonorous, centrally positioned tailpipes, the cabin also fills with lovely mechanical strains thanks to the "Sound Symposer" acoustical amplifier that's trickled down into the Boxster/Cayman lineup from the 911 for the first time. Boxster S, we hardly knew ya.
A few pre-race notes and a lot of photos from the 24 Hours of Le Mans
Sat, 14 Jun 2014The 82nd running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is on.
Audi has won 12 of the last 15 events, the scion of Auto Union is trying to make it 13 this year. To do so, it will have to overcome a situation faced only three other times during its dominance of La Sarthe: underdog status. Toyota has won the first two races of the year and claimed pole for this race, the rumor being that this year it's Toyota's race to lose.
And then there's Porsche. It's been 16 years since the Stuttgart brand raced on the top rung at Le Mans, three years years since it announced its return, just a year since it acquired Mark Webber in a signing that wasn't subtle and a few months since we got eyes on the 919 Hybrid.
Jaguar F-Type squares off against Porsche 911, Aston V8 Vantage with Chris Harris
Fri, 21 Jun 2013Chris Harris is back on the job, taking on really really difficult car questions like: Which enormously sexy and good-to-drive, high-performance convertible is the top of the heap? As one of the hottest cars in the luxury space right now, the Jaguar F-Type S is, of course, in on the action. Competition comes in the form of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster and the Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet. Sun-loving CEOs who despise test-driving need look no further.
Scroll on below for a fully featured (with a running time of more than 20 minutes) comparison video. Harris does his best to entertain - in a typically nitpicky and made-up-British-words fashion - and the moving pictures are lovely to look at. Kick back, pour a pint and get your weekend started off right.
