Porsche 911 911 on 2040-cars
Grayling, Michigan, United States
Up for sale is a 1968 Porsche 911 USA Coupe. The car started off as a project and was going to be made into a race car but was in too good of shape to tear apart. Some restoration was started but still needs body and paint and some interior clean up. 11830157 Chassis Number Engine- 901/14 Engine Code *3280276*. The engine runs great and looks to be original, no knocks or ticks. There seems to be minimal oil leaks(only a couple drops on case). It has the updated tensioners installed. The power seems like it is all there. The carburetors are brand new out of the box(NOT rebuilt) PMO Webber carbs with pictures of box with specs. The exhaust has SS SSI Dansk Equal length heater box headers. All of the engine tins, air cleaner, plus extras were powder coated and looks great. Alternator fan was cleaned up and coated and belt adjusted. The carburetors were just installed and tuned, Oil was just changed, valve adjustment, along with dropping the sump plate at 88,765 Transmission- 236623 Code. The Trans looks to be original. The Transmission shifts fine once the engine is warmed up and back down to normal idle. The clutch feels nice and firm with no signs of slippage. The Gear Oil was just changed and wheel bearings adjusted at 88,765. Body- Overall the body is in pretty good shape. There are a few common spots that are rusting. The floor pans are solid. All suspension mounting points are solid. The paint is not original, nor does it look like it once did (clearcoat is flaking off on roof and hood). Most of the chrome is in good shape. The side mirrors are aftermarket and to be honest do not fit the cars look. All of the body panels seem to line up. Interior- The car has Era correct Recaro seats that were just re-finished by Classic 9 Leather in Dearborn. The rear seats are original but are in good shape. All the covers and plates inside the car were taken out, sandblasted and either powder coated or painted. The dash has a pad on top of it, ,meaning the dash needs to be replaced. The headliner is all there and intact however has discolored and should also be replaced. The carpet is clean but shows its age. Heat works great! (Currently 15* here) Overall the car is in pretty good shape and should really be in the hands of someone who will appreciate it more.

VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini
Fri, 14 Mar 2014It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.
'Ring Queen Sabine Schmitz battles Ron Simons in Porsche vs Ferrari scrap
Tue, 04 Jun 2013We hope you have seven minutes to kill. RSR Nürburgring recently took the time to pit Sabine Schmitz and her slightly modified Porsche 911 GT3 RS against Ron Simons and his Ferrari 458 Italia in a sparring match around the infamous Green Hell. The clip begins with the two drivers engaging in a smidgeon of smack talk before the two get down to the business of beating each other's doors off around one of the most challenging courses in the world. Simons calls his car superior to Schmitz's 911, while Schmitz says she's up against nothing more than a Fiat driven by an old Dutch man.
Don't hold any punches, you two.
We won't spoil the finale for you, but we will say the tango is worth watching. At the end, the loser calls for a rematch. We can't wait to see that throwdown. Check out the clip below for yourself.
New details mooted about Porsche's '988' Ferrari rival
Tue, 08 Jul 2014We could be on the verge of a big expansion at everyone's favorite rear-engined German sports car manufacturer. Porsche is allegedly preparing a four-car assault that will be led by a proper challenger to the Ferrari 458 Italia (sorry 911).
Code-named "988," the new model will reportedly feature a mid-engined layout and, get this: a flat-8. Autocar, which has the story, expects that engine to displace about 4.0 liters, while the car itself will draw styling inspiration from the 918 Spyder. 600 ponies and over 400 super-accessible pound-feet of torque should be on tap with the new mill.
Joining the 988's supposed eight-cylinder is a new family of four- and six-cylinder boxer engines that Autocar claims will have a focus on power density and fuel economy. These new mills will be available in naturally aspirated, turbocharged and hybrid forms.
