Ready to go now. Ebay will not allow external * links to additional pictures. I had to restart the auction, I will send a link to more pictures if you send me a request. Thanks. 1975 Porsche 911S, $11,684.77 spent on mechanical restoration 437 miles ago. (08/2006) Please read the FULL story about this great car and email with additional questions. The car was purchased in mid 2006 for $17,500, ( overpaid IMO ) the car was located in Los Angeles and the buyer had the car shipped to the east coast. Upon arrival, the car was send to Eurosport Porsche in Virginia Beach,Va for service. The buyer wanted this car to be a reliable daily driver. Eurosport was given an open checkbook, they treated the car like an airplane, they fixed mechanical issues before they occurred and corrected the known problems upon post purchase inspection. Please see the detailed paperwork on repairs performed. I can email the documents directly if my * link does not work. The car was then scheduled for cosmetic work and the repair of a rusty battery area/ front pan. The owner also wanted to do a color change back to the original color which is a darker tan/brown. I agree with that course of action since originality is very important to the value of these cars. After the $11k mechanical work, The car logged 437 miles over the course of the next 11 months. The owner parked the car in the garage 08/2007 and never touched it again. He said the car hurt his back and he did not enjoy owning the car as much as he imagined he would. Probably because he was $30,000 into a car that still needed a ride to the body shop. In the 2013 the car moved from the garage to the driveway where it sat for six months under a cover. I purchased the car as you see it, the only thing I have done was drain the fuel and try to crank it up. The car has no spark or power from the cdi box. I bought a used cdi perma-tune from someone on rennlist and it will be included in the sale. The car will need another trip to the garage since it has been sitting for almost 7 years, however, this car has a great deal of mechanical potential and will easily be rock solid again. I am not a mechanic. I am a Porschephile. I currently own several 911`s and one 930. I love this car but I need to pay down some medical bills our growing little family has incurred. We have 22 month old twin boys and my mindset and spending habits are evolving, I must sell this car. By the way, I finally found two humans who are very content in the backseat of a vintage 911. Thank you so much for looking, save my seller name as I may be selling some 911 Porsche parts and perhaps my 1973 911 project. NEW: (08/2006) 437 MILES AGO. # Oil fed tensioner update. # Original Transmission fully rebuilt, (see records.) # Stainless heat exchanger x 2 # Blower fan motor # Bosch Starter # New Bridgestone Tires x 4 (still have nipples on tread surface) # Sunroof cable and guide. # Oil hose 91110772800 # Brake Pads. # Valve cover set # sway bar bushings. Plus Dozens of additional items, including LEAKDOWN see records. The Bad News: the car needs a front pan. The pan is rusted out. The car needs paint, new door pockets and the black seat inserts are worn. Car been sitting for 7 years. penny sized rust bubble on pass door. Sunroof leaks a little, steering wheel is not original and needs recovering, etc. The Good News: car is accident free, body panels are very very straight, no dents and only one tiny ding on entire car, original aluminum front calipers were rebuilt, dash and other interior parts are very presentable. No structural rust or surprises (I know where to look). Solid mechanical platform. Includes factory tool kit 99% complete, original owners manual, clean and clear title in hand, honest seller & Easy Export or Stateside shipping. When I buy a car, I want full disclosure. I sell cars with the same mindset. I have owned more than 20 911`s, I have had some real sexy cars that ended up having three pounds of body filler throughout the car and poor rust repairs that grew like mushrooms in spring. I want the buyer to look at the pictures carefully, make an assessment, ask questions and then bid accordingly. The only bondo I could find is on the deck lid. I want the buyer to be happy with purchase, please don`t expect a perfect car and understand that I am selling a car made in 04/1975. You may encounter a problem which I have not discovered, however, I expect my assessment to be accurate based on previous transactions and general knowledge of aircooled 911`s. I would rather scare away a few people and end up with a happy buyer than have someone contact me two months after the sale with hurt feelings. AS-IS. Export Friendly Seller: I have extensive cargo and automotive export experience. My cars have gone to Italia, Bulgaria, Russia, Asia, Germany, UK etc. I can ship ANY CAR worldwide. I live near a port city, please contact me if you have any export questions or if you want a "rough" estimate for the shipping expense. Buyer pays for all shipping expenses directly to the shipping company. If you have a question about shipping this or any other car from the U.S please send me a message. On Apr-22-14 at 14:49:39 PDT, seller added the following information: Service records and additional pictures are available on Facebook. Please search " Virginia Porsche " within Facebook. This is the easiest way for me to set up a page that contains text photos and video of this and future Porsche endeavors. Email if you have trouble viewing the page, best wishes. Facebook : Virginia Porsche On Apr-25-14 at 21:33:47 PDT, seller added the following information: Thanks for the interest, I tried to provide the most accurate estimates for International Shipping. The cost of shipping overseas will be relatively inexpensive for a variety of reasons. #1 the car is located within 12 miles of NIT Port of Virginia, #2 I personally secure the car within a 20ft container for safe transit, #3 I submit all required documents to U.S Customs for export to avoid additional third party fee`s. I hope this is a good generic answer to questions or concerns from overseas buyers. Best regards,Bruce. |

Leno buys classic Porsche 356 Carrera 2, seeks out and finds perfect expert for help
Mon, 19 Aug 2013The world of collector cars is fairly tight-knit when you get down to individual models. Need proof? Just take a look at this latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. The subject is a gorgeous 1963 Porsche 356 Carrera 2. Jay, being known as quite a collector, got a call from someone looking to sell. While doing his due diligence and looking for a 356 expert to go over the car with him, he came across John Willhoit.
Where the story gets weird is when Leno is asked the license plate number - it turns out that Willhoit, owner of Willhoit Restorations, had restored the exact same car more than 30 years prior. He then sold it to the same person that was looking to give it to Leno. What follows is a truly interesting video on the little quirks of the 356, along with Willhoit's personal history on a car he hadn't seen since 1976.
This is a bit more mechanically detailed than Leno's normal videos, but it's on a very interesting subject. Take a look below for the entire film.
Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4
Fri, 26 Sep 2014We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.
Mysterious Porsche 911 Cabriolet spied, could be GTS
Mon, 10 Mar 2014While Porsche's designers can jokingly be accused of being some of the laziest in the industry due to the incremental changes to the 911's iconic design, no such charge can be leveled against the engineers and product planning folks. That's because it seems like each week arrives with news of a new variation of the marque's iconic rear-engined sports car. So, for this week, we've brought you images of what we think is the new 911 GTS Cabriolet, undergoing testing in a thawing winter wonderland.
Now, what is it that gives this 911 away, compared to standard convertible? Well, the big thing is the new offset, center-mounted exhausts. Borrowing a page from the last Volkswagen R32, these exhaust tips are unlike anything we've seen from Porsche. Only the GT3 wears center pipes, and unlike these spy photos, the twin pipes on the track-minded 911 are stacked neatly alongside each other. The other change spotted by our spies is the set of active-aerodynamic flaps in the front bumper, which can automatically channel air toward the brakes for increased cooling, or close off to reduce drag, as needed.
Those exhausts are a pretty big design detail, and so far as we can tell is the only differentiator between the other 911s in this car's posse. Our spies speculate that this could be a 911 Speedster, but point out that both the canvas roof and windshield remain unchanged - the rumored Speedster model would almost certainly feature a different roof assembly along with a steeply raked windshield.
