Original Numbers Matching 930 Turbo on 2040-cars
Princeton, New Jersey, United States
|
I am the third owner, having purchased from the importer in 1988. This is a Eurospec 1981 car (listed 1980 so that E Bay accepts the Euro VIN) with full DOT conversion documentation. 56000 miles on the odometer that was replaced during Federalization at 37000 miles. During my 26 years of ownership, the car has been continuously garaged and carefully maintained. In 2002, 7000 miles ago, the engine was fully rebuilt. New cylinders, pistons, cams, valves, hardware, starter rebuild, alternator rebuild, new clutch, rebuilt turbo. The head bolts had become stretched (common problem) and resulted in a full tear down. More recently, Peter Dawe Motorsports performed a service and installed 964 cams for smoother idle and a broader torque curve. Other items replaced during the years include CV joints, tie rods, brakes, sun roof cabling, air pump and the stereo. The current sound system is an Alpine (removable face) with CD. Paint is original with some patina and dulling on the roof. There are two minor dents that I chose not to repair until a full paint job. One dent is about 3 inches long on the passenger rear fender above the light. The other is an indentation above the passenger front wheel well. There is no rust or corrosion. Interior is very good with light wear on the drivers seat at the bolster piping, but leather is supple and completely intact. The car drives very well. Shifting is smooth although 3rd gear needs a slower shift. This has been the case since purchased. With the older Borla, the engine sounds great with a sharp note on acceleration and nice burble off throttle. The AC system is intact but non functional. Tires are older Dunlop 245-45-16's and 225-50-16's with 1/4 inch of tread. Wheels (Fuchs original) are exceptional (no pits, no dings). Original service kit, owners manual and all receipts from 26 years are included. This is a very nice unmolested and numbers-matching car for the enthusiast that is looking for the right car at the right price. Never hit, never hurt, never broken. The car purchase includes a spare Y pipe, heat exchanger, stock-sound muffler, pressure gage, nose cover, sheepskin covers and electronic ignition module. The buyer will not be disappointed! |

2015 Porsche Macan Turbo
Mon, 24 Feb 2014I knew it was a softball question, but I asked it anyway. It's pretty standard for automakers to offer up some examples of competitors when they invite the media to drive a new vehicle for the first time. If not stated outright, it's just as standard for some journalist to query about the competitive set as soon as the Q&A begins. I knew full well that Porsche believes it has a valuable new niche to itself with the 2015 Macan (and especially with the Macan Turbo), but I wanted to hear the answer to the competitor cars question anyway.
Porsche CEO Matthias Müller didn't hesitate for a second to respond. With a half-smirk appropriate to an executive that is about to launch the (very probably) most profitable and best-selling product in his brand's lineup he chuckled, "Of course, I could be arrogant and say this car has no competitors..."
Arrogant? Well, the grinning Müller certainly didn't give off a humble vibe as he proceeded to count down a list of German and British utility vehicles from various classes that are clearly behind the pace of the Macan in either looks, luxury, or sporting prowess - Range Rover Sport, BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLK among them.
Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
Another cool projection vid, this time with a Porsche 911
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Porsche has become the latest automaker to take advantage of clever projection technology. The automaker worked up a quick presentation for the 2013 911 Carrera 4S to show off a bit of "motionless driving." The display tracks the sports car from production to back-road caning and city-center cruising, displaying a variety of exterior color choices and wheel options without resorting to a two-dimensional video.
This isn't the first time we've seen an automaker use its new product as a projection screen. Subaru, Hyundai, Lamborghini and others have all done the same, and the trick never fails to be visually interesting.
As you may recall, we got to play with the 2013 911 Carrera 4S back in November and found the machine to be a better daily driver than its rear-wheel drive counterpart. You can check out the projection video below.
