1988 Porsche 911 Targa with Slantnose conversion. I have owned this car for past 4 years. It has a Steve Wong cat Bypass, and chip. The car is in good condition, and draws a lot of attention. I do not know history of the car but it seems it was well taken care of. The transmission and engine run smooth. In the past it had intermittent starting issues but my mechanic has seemed to have that resolved. The car is driven very little under my ownership. The BBS wheels are in mint condition and the tires have around 500 miles on them(if that). I have 2 sets extra wheels and will sell car for less money with cup 2 wheels. The BBS wheels were around 4k alone. The interior and exterior are what I would say 7 out of 10. At one time may have been a show car, now a nice driver quality car, or take it to the track. When I went to register it initially, there were some things on the car fax, please look into that and if you are not comfortable with the car fax do not bid. I prefer to sell in person, and the car is for sale locally and reserve right to end auction early. I want the buyer to be happy and know what they are purchasing. Things I have had done to car under my ownership:
1) alternator is new however it has a noisy bearing
2)The CV joints boots are new in back
3)New plugs, wires, fuel filter, and tune up(300 miles ago)
4)Tranny flush and fluid replacement to stock specs.
5)Fuse box cleaned and battery terminals replaced
6)new belts
7)new motor left pop up headlight(both work good)
8)new oxygen sensor
9)rebuilt one of the rear calipers
Things I would do if I were to keep
-targa top through in good shape needs minor adjustment so it donst make wind noise
-I have polymer bushings for sway bars but not have installed them yet.
-remember car is 25 years old! I am selling this car to fund business venture. I highly recommend that you know these cars if you are thinking of purchasing. I will not offer any returns, and payment must be received and clear before I release the title which is indeed free and clear. I want someone to take this car and appreciate it. I will not, and repeat will not sell this car for short money so all you wheeler dealers go bother someone else.

Porsche 918 Spyder gets tiny recall for rear control arms
Tue, 09 Sep 2014As the recent US recall of a single Koenigsegg Agera shows, even low-production supercars aren't immune from safety campaigns. Now, there's another example that even the fastest cars can have their faults. The Porsche 918 Spyder is a pretty fantastic vehicle for its ability to mix hybrid fuel economy and incredible amounts of power, but Porsche has a problem on a few units of its halo model.
According to the recall document from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Porsche needs to inspect and possibly repair five 918s in the US because the rear axle control arms may break, which could cause a loss of control while driving. In the full defect notice, Porsche says that it first noticed the problem on June 26 when the parts failed during "heavy duty durability testing (extreme race conditions)" at the Nardo test track in Italy. It transported the components back to the company's lab for inspection, and on July 18 it issued a stop-sale to inspect the suspension parts on the supercar. The automaker also contacted owners by phone to warn them not to use the car on track, until repaired.
The affected 918s will be inspected, and if the cars have the bad parts, the control arms are will be replaced. Obviously, this will be done at no cost to owners. According to a Porsche spokesperson speaking to Autoblog, in addition to the five US cars potentially affected, there were 45 worldwide. All of the cars have now been checked.

Porsche celebrates 50 years of 911s with limited edition model
Tue, 04 Jun 2013Despite being 50 years old now, the Porsche 911 sure is looking good for her age. And to commemorate this milestone anniversary, Porsche has created the 911 50 Years Edition you see here, which will make its debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show - 50 years after the original 911 debuted at this very same expo.
What's really neat about the 50 Years Edition is that it houses a rear-wheel-drive setup inside of the wider body used for all-wheel-drive Carrera 4 and 4S models. Found at the back is the 3.8-liter flat-six from the Carrera S, upgraded with the Powerkit package that increases horsepower from 400 to 430 and includes the Sport Chrono setup. According to Porsche, hitting 60 miles per hour takes just 4.2 seconds with the seven-speed manual transmission, or 3.8 seconds with the optional dual-clutch PDK.
Visual changes include two special paint colors - a darker graphite grey and a lighter geyser grey - unique 20-inch wheels that pay homage to the original Fuchs rollers of the 1963 car, and special badging at the rear and on the door sills. Inside, there are more throwbacks to the original 911, with green labeling on the instruments, white pointer needles and silver accents. What's more, the leather seats feature a fabric insert reminiscent of the Pepita design from the '60s. Looks great to us.
Watch Porsche legend Jeff Zwart frolic in the snow in his 356
Wed, 14 May 2014Racing driver Jeff Zwart picked up a 1953 Porsche 356 Pre A to use as a historical prop in a Cayenne commercial, then decided to keep it when the filming was done. Then, explaining to filmmaker Will Roegge that his vintage toy does really well in slippery conditions, Zwart throws it around in the Colorado snow - on pencil-thin studded tires on 16-inch wheels - to prove the point.
Don't expect roostertails in this winter wonderland video, however; with just about 60 horsepower at sea level, gumption drops to about 40 hp when playing at 9,000 mountainous feet. But that's still plenty to work as a testament to the phrase, "If you've got it, flaunt it," and you can watch it below.
