Here is an original targa, with excellent patina appropriate to its age. The mileage is just shy of 78,000 and it has not been modified in any way. I replaced the dash a few days ago and have the original dash. The original blaupunkt stereo is there. I believe the paint is original, at least a detail shop told me so. The photo of the front driver's side fender with the wheel shows a series of scratches which were present prior to my purchase of the car and were poorly touched up but the detail shop buffed it to the current appearance. The cam oil lines were recently changed so she has a very dry bottom. Tires have very little wear on them and the wheels are original Fuchs but the PO polished the black off the spokes for a more vintage look. I have a whale tail of matching color available. I personally rebuilt the targa top with advice from a local convertible shop where the seams on the vinly were restitched and it no longer leaks, even in a heavy Seattle rainshower. The rubber around top frame was also recovered in the porsche style mesh material which was worn over the life of the car. I have little in way of records on this car but it appears to be a Florida car which was then sold to the PO in British Columbia and then to me in Seattle. The COA will be ordered from porsche and should substantiate that it is a numbers matching car. It has run really well with the few miles I have put on it. I am selling because my interests have become even more vintage than this car. Must be a sign of age, or perhaps taste. I have represented this car with the knowledge I have of it. Please ask your questions and do the appropriate research to satisfy what you need to know about this car. Of course, if there are specific photos you would like, please let me know. Best Regards.

Porsche Cayman, Boxster caught in GTS trim
Sat, 18 Jan 2014A few months ago, we reported on some leaked information from an internal presentation for upcoming Porsche models. This included details about the Macan and the 911 Targa, which we now know to be true, but there was also talk about GTS versions of the Cayman and Boxster.
Well, it appears we're now getting our first look at these GTS models, as our spy photographers have just snapped a pair of Porsche prototypes out testing - one Cayman and one Boxster.
Right off the bat, we can see that both GTS-branded cars will get a slightly tweaked exterior with new fascias (bringing LED daytime running lights to the Cayman) and air diffusers at the rear. The true gem of these cars will be the added horsepower to the tune of 340 horsepower - a 15-hp bump. A manual transmission will likely be standard, as will Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM).
Porsche 911 Cabriolet refresh may hide new engine
Wed, 22 Jan 2014If we learned nothing else from our recent frolic through Porsche's secret museum, it's that the automaker goes to incredible lengths to disguise future products during initial testing. Just as a number of cars in that Stuttgart bunker hid the true identity of developmental mules (like the Audi-V8-powered 911), such could very well be the case with these spy shots showing what, on the surface, appears to be simply a facelifted 991 911 Cabriolet.
Similar to what we saw last month on a 911 coupe, this Cabriolet has obvious styling modifications made to the front and rear fascias suggesting that the 911's still-fresh appearance is already set to get a few tweaks. The big news here is at the rear of the car. The additional vents on the lower edge of the fascia and the mocked-up vent above the engine leads our spy photographer to believe that a new engine could be tucked under the body work - likely a smaller-displacement, turbocharged flat-six focusing more on improving fuel efficiency and reducing exhaust emissions rather than performance.
We last heard rumblings of such a detuned 911 back in August, but could this be our first look at said new model? Have a look for yourself, and let us know what you think - either about this mule specifically or the idea of a "green" 911, in Comments below.
1986 Porsche 959 Prototype at Barrett-Jackson sees gavel fall at $440,000 [UPDATE: w/video]
Sat, 19 Jan 2013Fans of Porsche in America have longed for the chance to buy a 959 ever since the German automaker produced and sold it (well, sold it everywhere but the United States...) in the 1980s. Well, they just had their chance. The car you see above is a Porsche 959 prototype built in 1986, and only one other running prototype still exists.
The 959 prototype can't be driven on public roads, as it carries no such certification. Somehow, we doubt that matters all that much to the new buyer - this one is probably going to be sitting in a collection. When the gavel finally fell, bidding had reached $400,000, plus a 10-percent buyer's fee.
