I tried my best to keep it all original stock, but a few items had to be updated and replaced. This includes, but not limited to, incredibly comfortable wrap-around leather seats from a newer 911, new Brimbo brakes, all around, that will throw you thru the windsheild, radio and speakers, clutch, and front windshield. Items that were inspected while the car was stripped were replaced, such as all the weather stripping, carpet, fuses and fuse box, and headlights. Gone is the antennae, headlight washers, and rear wiper. The transmission was rebuilt while I had it out for the complete re-paint, and the engine had work on it 10k or so miles ago. Very, very fast. Very, very reliable. Could be a daily driver. I take it out on the back roads every 2 weeks or so. Drives like it's on rails. She's a beast.

I had the rear spoiler changed to the 3.8 RS version. Why? Because I wanted to; it fits tight and is proportionally perfect. The original whale tale spoiler will, of course, come with the car, minus the rubber gasket, and is being painted the same yellow as we speak if you choose to swap out. I chose 'Ferrari Fly Yellow' because it's a deep yellow that really jumps out. Almost a mirror finish. It is not subtle. I'm having a few chips on the front repaired. You will also receive the remaining unused paint for touch ups. It is flawless, but unfortunately, not all original stock. Never wrecked, never tracked, and never seen rain or snow. I do keep all my records. I am the 3rd owner. Don't hesitate to ask questions. If they're too technical for me, I'll ask my mechanic. This was his 24th Porsche 911 rebuild, and currently a race instructor, and races on many weekends. Very capable crew with him, too. 

Non-refundable Paypal down payment of $5k is due within 5 business days. The remainder due can fit your time schedule, within reason, up to 60 days or so. I'm retiring in 5 years, so I'm in no hurry to part ways. 

Thanks
George

Watch Porsche's 918 Spyder break a sweat while hot weather testing

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

With five months left until the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder enters production, Porsche engineers are still putting the hybrid sports coupe through a battery of last-minute tests. To give us new reasons to ogle over the car - as if we needed any more - Porsche has released a short video showing the 918 Spyder undergoing shakedown tests in the hot Nevada desert. And you can't drive through Nevada without visiting Vegas, too, right?
Although there's really nothing new to see in this video, it's still fun to watch as Porsche approaches one million test miles logged on this exciting new high-performance model. One interesting part (at around the 0:37 mark) shows the car taking off under electric power and then transitioning to engine power, which results in a mix of whirs and growls as the 918 Spyder switches from a 127-horsepower electric vehicle to an 887-hp hybrid supercar. Scroll down to watch - and hear - Porsche's latest creation in motion.

Porsche considering X6-style Cayenne coupe

Mon, 05 May 2014

It was practically unthinkable when Porsche introduced the Cayenne in 2002. An SUV... from Porsche? Purists balked, but customers flocked, and the Cayenne propelled the its holding company into such profitability that it practically took over the entire Volkswagen Group. It's now been twelve years since the original Cayenne arrived as the first production Porsche with more than two doors, and Zuffenhausen has since followed up with the Panamera, the Macan and the second-generation Cayenne. But it isn't about to stop there.
The latest intel coming in from overseas suggests that Porsche is in the advanced stages of designing a slant-back, five-door Cayenne coupe to take on the likes of the BMW X6 and upcoming Mercedes-Benz MLC. Though the business case (however solid BMW may have already demonstrated it to be) is still being considered, if approved it would join the upcoming third-generation Cayenne on the production line in Leipzig as early as 2018 - a year after the new Cayenne itself is expected to arrive.
The Cayenne coupe would share much with the more conventional MkIII Cayenne (and for that matter the next Audi Q7 and VW Touareg as well as the Lamborghini Urus and Bentley Falcon) but differentiate itself with a more stylish (if less practical) roofline and an altogether sportier attitude. Autocar reports that the design calls for tauter sheetmetal and sportier cabin inspired by the 918 Spyder. Pricing would be positioned a good 15-20 percent higher than the regular Cayenne, and the "coupe" version would likely be offered with most, if not all of the engines available in the conventional version - including gasoline, diesel, turbo and possibly even hybrid options ranging all the way up to the 550-horsepower Turbo S.

2014 Porsche 911 Targa takes its crop-top off in Motor City

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

Back in 1965, Porsche invented the 911 Targa as a matter necessity. Believing that a finicky National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was prepared to outlaw convertibles, the innovative automaker created the half-open car as a way to keep wind rushing through owners' hair. Though far removed from those formative days, it seems as though the 2015 Porsche 911 Targa has come to the Detroit Auto Show with a new-school version of some old-school tech.
While the last Targa featured a trick sliding glass roof at the touch of the button, the new car dramatically swallows a traditional-looking panel via an exceptionally complex-looking mechanical operation. The net result is "the same fun factor and freedom" that can be had with a complete convertible, though with slightly more open-driving protection while underway.
And, as is the case with all of the current 911 range, getting underway can be done with reasonable rapidity. The entry-level Targa 4 rocks a 350-horsepower, 3.4-liter flat-six engine just behind the rear axle, making that car good for 175 miles per hour at the top end (with the seven-speed manual, 174 mph with PDK) and a 0-to-60 sprint of 4.6 seconds. The Targa 4S, meanwhile, offers 400 horsepower from 3.8-liters of boxer six, runs to 60 in 4.2 seconds and hits a top "track speed" of 183 mph.
