The care has almost a perfect 50-50 weight ratio and that is why it is so hard to find one that is not driven hard.

History: purchased new by Ted G. 5/4/1988 from European Imports, 6400 San Mateo Blvd, Albuquerque, NM.

Purchase by a friend of Ted G. named Don S. on 8/2001 with 15,990 miles.  This aligns with first car-fax data showing change of title. Receipts are from Premier Motorcars, 6400 San Mateo (same dealer as purchase) for simple repairs, tune-ups, oil changes that Don Snook had performed on car. 

Purchased by a Brent R. (CPA) in Missoula, MT on 8/2002, 19,500 miles. Items in receipts: Oil, Alignment (9/02), Sun Roof relay, fuel filter, bulbs, splash place for jack, (9/2002), Throttle Cable, K&N Air Filter (11/2002), Water channel guard (11/2002), Wheel cap (1/2003), Steering Wheel Cover (2/2003), Black lug nut covers (5/2003), Radio and amp(5/2003) professionally installed which includes  4 door speakers and two box speakers under rear hatch, plus cross-over units in the doors, 17in Wheels and New Tires (1/2003), Transmission mount (8/2003), Stiffer front strut brace (1/2003), Shift Boot (12/2004), Oil changes (2006,2007,2008, 2009), Clutch Kit (3/2009), Loan paid off in 6/2007 with 21,516, which aligns with all running receipts.  I have bill of sale and title transfer from transaction (Don to Brent)


Purchased by a Clyne F. (Business Owner) in Topeka, KS on 3/ 2011 with 24,356 miles. Tires 3/2011 at 24,426 miles, AC Compressor replaced and recharged 4/2011 (no receipt), Receipts for all work at Jesse Prather Motorsports that includes a complete Lindsey Racing Turbo Upgrade kit 5/2011 at 24,800, 2 DME chips, Programmable MAF, 3in exhaust, and customer dyno tune.  Plugs, oil, crank sensor replacement (6/2022).

Purchased by a Greg Crouch in Austin, TX on 9/20/2011 at 25,642 miles. Flushed all fluids including: oil, transmission, brakes.  Replaced distributor cap, roof relay, fuel pump relay, headlight bulbs. Added battery mat and replaced small screw covers, while also adding some insulation mat under rear carpet.  Changed speakers in cargo area with a custom box (6in JL Audio).  AC Changed to R134.


I took car to a Porsche repair shop to check the odometer and the first thing he did was pull the front seat and look to see if it was the original seat cover.  Yes, it is the original driver's seat and shows little to no wear.  All receipts line up as did all the calls I made to repair shops.


Many extras things included with the purchase. The original window sticker of $42,000, and lots and lots of car articles from the 80's and 90's time frame. I have all original parts that were removed to install upgrades, as well as a COMPLETE set of Dealer Service Manuals. The manuals are a complete detail of the car nut-to-nut and connector-to-connector. Also includes an original brochure for the Porsche 1988 944 series that is really cool to read (the brochure says the 1988 Turbo 944 was the first mid-level premium sports car to get dual air bags and anti-lock brakes!)

A few of other things to note from the pictures is the cool beginner's service guide VCR tape. I burned a DVD of the tape and it comes with the car. Next, the key-fob's light up nice and bright when you press the button. Finally, do not to forget your hats!

2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed statue unveiled

Thu, 11 Jul 2013

Each year at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, a single marque is celebrated with a large and ornate "Central Feature" sculpture, with recent automakers including Audi in 2009, Alfa Romeo in 2010, Jaguar in 2011 and Lotus last year. This year, Porsche gets the honor, and it is using the opportunity to commemorate 50 years of the 911.
The sculpture features three generations of the 911 towering over the Goodwood House. The most recent 991 911 has the lowest position, with an original 1963 car second highest and a 1973 2.7 RS at the top of the pile. Be sure to check out the sculpture for yourself in the gallery of images above.

MotorWeek proves '90s were awesome with Supra, Stealth, RX-7, Corvette, 968, 300ZX comparo

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

Oh, the heady days of 1993, back when the Clinton Presidency was just getting underway, and it seemed like every hot new rock band was coming out of Seattle. Sports cars in the US had finally shaken off the shackles that slowed them during the '70s and '80s, and you could buy any number of legitimately quick vehicles again. MotorWeek recently went digging into its archives to find this six-model test from 1993 showing off some of the best semi-affordable performance coupes that money could buy at the time, and it's priceless.
Featuring the 1994 model year Toyota Supra in twin-turbo guise and MY 1993 versions of the Porsche 968, Nissan 300ZX TT, Mazda RX-7, Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo and Chevrolet Corvette LT-1, MotorWeek definitely covered all of the bases. One thing that might surprise younger readers is these cars' performance. The video only provides 0-60 acceleration times, but several of these vehicles would still be considered pretty potent today - over 20 years since going on sale. The Supra is especially impressive, hitting 60 miles per hour in just 5 seconds. Even today, that's nothing to sneeze at.
Given their performance potential and still-attractive looks, it's amazing that some of these coupes are old enough to drink now. The progress of interior design and safety equipment in the intervening years is pretty shocking, though. In most of these models, having two airbags is touted as a big deal. Scroll down to watch a Throwback Thursday blast from the past about some of the '90s best sports cars.

Amelia Island 2013: Porsche 911 swarms the field marking 50 years of rear-engine goodness

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Perhaps one of the most iconic sports cars in the world, it was no surprise that the Porsche 911 showed up in numbers to the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance. Although the original 911 launched 50 years ago, the original and current models are instantly recognizable as 911s, and since the 911 has a storied racing background, there were probably just as many racing versions of the coupe as there were street-legal versions.
As the show's 2013 honoree, one of the prime racing examples was a 1970 Porsche 911 S raced by Sam Posey. There were so many cars in attendance, we didn't know where to look, but a 1985 911 Speedster concept and a Porsche-owned, rally-ready 911 Type 953 were definitely among the more impressive standouts. As an added bonus, Jacksonville-based Brumos Porsche had many of its classic racecars on display including a beautiful 959.
