1989 944 Turbo S (951) - Red With White Interior - Very Good Condition on 2040-cars
San Jose, California, United States
1989 Porsche 951 (944 Turbo) in very good condition. 113K miles. Runs great. I have owned it for the last 19 years and never raced it. I'm the 3rd owner, and the car has always been in California All original except for the following and regular maintenance items: 1. Computer chips replaced with AutoThority chips to increase engine power. This was done prior to my purchasing the car 19 years ago. I have the original chips and will include them. 2. Blaupunkt cassette/radio replaced with Blaupunkt CD/radio. I have the original and will include it. Major Mechanical Repairs: 1. The only one I can think of is the clutch, which has been replaced twice. Collision Damage: 1. A truck backed into the drivers side while the vehicle was parked which damaged the door and front fender. Both were repaired and repainted. Major Defects: 1. The drivers seat has a tear and is worn. This is shown in one of the photographs. 2. The air conditioner does not work. However, I believe that it is mechanically fine and needs to have the Freon recharged. Because this has the original air conditioning system, it uses R12 with has been phased out. I chose to not recharge it some number of years ago because of the high price and the good weather here in northern California. Minor Defects: 1. The speaker in the driver's door stops working every once in a while. There is an intermittent connection somewhere, but I have not been able to find it. Included Extras: 1. Saratoga glass top. The top works fine but is in need of repainting the aluminum trim, and replacing the weather stripping. This is shown in the photographs. 2. Useable mats. These are shown in one of the photos. 3. All maintenance records. 4. Original computer chips and cassette/radio (see above). Maintenance is up-to-date except for the timing belt, which is now due for replacement. All maintenance and mechanical repairs have been done by a well regarded independent Porsche shop, CT Automotive. 1989 was the last year that the 944 Turbo was available in the U.S., and the 1989 model was the fastest. It had many upgrades over the previous years. These are explained in the photo of a sales brochure. Please contact me with any questions. |

2014 Porsche 911 Targa
Tue, 15 Apr 2014I've watched the electro-hydraulic roof panel open and close about 73 times in the past hour, but its fascinatingly complicated operation still has me mesmerized. I've concluded that only a German automaker - Porsche, to be more specific - would go through the trouble of engineering a roof system that essentially lifts the entire greenhouse off a vehicle, rearranges its components like a sliding-tile puzzle, and then reassembles all of them seamlessly (sans roof panel) to accurately recreate one of its most famed bodystyles.
The 2014 Porsche 911 Targa is a near-perfect modern interpretation of the automaker's 1965 911 Targa, a semi-convertible bodystyle that represents nearly 13 percent of all 911 models sold since production started 50 years ago. While the early car's roof was purely manual in operation - that's the period-correct way of saying that the driver did all of the muscle work - today's Targa is a completely automated transformation that requires only that the driver hold down a cabin-mounted switch for a mere 19 seconds to let the captivating show run its course.
After studying the Targa's elaborate roof operation at its launch at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year, I was sufficiently intrigued. To that end, I traveled one-third of the way around the planet to southern Italy, hoping that the Mediterranean climate would reveal a bit more about the reintroduction of the automaker's iconic sports car.
Chevy Corvette Stingray defeating rivals where it matters most
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Everything is coming up roses for the award-winning Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, as new data from the North American Dealers Association dissected by GM Authority reveals that America's sports car is handily outselling two of its more expensive rivals.
Through June of 2014, the NADA notes that the Corvette has rung up 17,744 sales, handily besting the Porsche 911 and positively spanking the SRT Viper. Of course, you're sitting there thinking, "Corvette is outselling the much more expensive Porsche and Viper. Sky blue, water wet." But what's impressive here is just how thoroughly the Chevrolet is beating its two rivals, with this data serving as a testament to just how popular the seventh-generation sports car has become.
So far this year, Porsche has managed to move 5,169 911s, according to NADA. Considering that the base model starts at nearly $15,000 more than the most heavily optioned Stingray, and that Porsche owners have a vast, expensive options catalogue to select from, Stuttgart's sales are still plenty impressive in relation to the nearly 18,000 Corvettes sold.
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.
