Corrales, New Mexico, United States

****mileage is not accurate****  however is close, is estimated to be under 130k.  Instrument cluster is not working.  Car has not been driven much since late 90s

NADA classic car values $7000 low to $12000 high

Runs great, doesnt smoke, sounds amazing. 

Car was well taken care of, interior in descent shape for original 1981.

front seats have dry cracking and passenger seat has some holes

Dash leather has shrunk and pulled away a bit, as seen in picture

Does run a little rough when cold, but once warm, has great throttle response and tons of torque.

Transmission is slow to shift into reverse when cold, but again once warm, feels and shifts fine

Shifts through the gears great on the road and kickdown functions fine

Engine leaks oil and tranny leaks oil.  Tranny may be leaking from the front seal.

Not functioning: speakers sound terrible, driver power seat would tilt back, so manually adjusted forward and unplugged the switch.  seat bottom moves forward and back fine and up and down (did unplug this switch as well though).  Instrument cluster not functioning (common issue).  AC does not blow cold.

Otherwise car is very functional.  Recently drove down freeway and feels great.  All exterior lights are working, headlights go up and down fine, sunroof and windows work although move slow, heater works.  Car is in pretty good shape for year. 

This car has obviously sat for years, guessing not much driving since late 90s, I purchased the car this summer and wanted to get it tip top but I need the money now.  It is perfectly driveable, or a good restoration project as it is very straight, no sign of any accidents, only minor dents near the rear fender.  Very cool car, got many compliments on it at the gas station and many lookers on the road.

2015 Porsche Boxster GTS [w/video]

Thu, 22 May 2014

You 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.

Jay Leno chats with Magnus Walker about his 1972 Porsche 911 72STR

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

Magnus Walker has stopped by the Big Dog Garage again to pay Jay Leno a visit in the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage. This time, the Porsche builder brought along his 1972 911 72STR 002. Walker calls the machine his best build to date, and the car is a rolling "best of" from Porsches past, rocking some of the more attractive elements pulled from a wide arc of 911 model years. Of course, the machine also wears a few signature Walker touches, including flush-mount turning indicators, a center-hood fuel filler and plenty of louver work.
Unlike some of Walker's other creations, the 72STR 002 is clean enough to lick. Leno seems suitably impressed with the creation, and while apparently isn't typically a fan of Porsche models in general, Walker's tastefully modified 911 has him singing a different tune. You can check out the car in the video below.

The mid-engine Porsche backstory

Thu, 09 Oct 2014

As an automaker's identity evolves over years, its signature becomes defined by any number of factors - heritage (Mercedes-Benz), image (Lamborghini), or market share (Toyota). In the case of Porsche, it was an engineering quirk that forged the German company's most enduring character trait.
Porsche would not have survived - let alone, thrived - in today's saturated landscape had it not been for the 911, and that slope-tailed sports car wouldn't have sprung to life without its predecessor, the 356. While phenomenal success of those rear-engine icons built the company, forays into the mid-engine configuration have played a significant part in establishing the brand's identity.
