Unbelievable 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo One of the nicest driver 951's available in the country. This is a rare unmolested Porsche 944 Turbo. It was removed covered from the corner of a garage in Columbus Ohio last year and has since undergone countless hours and thousands of dollars in mechanical and cosmetic restoration. It currently has just over 90k miles on it but it occasionally goes to shows and whatnot so it may rise. It has never been crashed and has its ORIGINAL paint. It has had only 3 owners. Ancillary systems on this car have been restored or rebuilt to the point that there isn't a single button, knob, dial or gauge that doesn't work properly. It has been converted to 134a (per the factory Porsche procedure) and the air conditioning blows ice cold. The cruise, sunroof, lights, heaters, blowers and bells all work perfectly. All maintenance type items such fluids and oils, timing belts, battery and water pump have been replaced in the last 2000 miles. It has the rare and desirable factory 5R limited slip 5 speed transaxle. The suspension is "Koni Yellow" and brand new. The only modifications to this car are Autothority Stage 2 chips and a $3000 Billy Boat header back stainless exhaust system which makes the car sound fantastic. I have the factory Blaupunkt radio that works but the modern Parrot radio that is in there now has Bluetooth streaming and sounds much better. No wiring was cut or damaged to install the Parrot, and it can come out in a few minutes for shows. I also have the original chips for the engine DME. As a Porsche aficionado, perfectionist, club member and capable mechanic, I have personally restored and dealt with every major and minor issue with this car myself. Things that "go wrong" with 944 turbos have been updated or restored to make them more reliable and/or function better while maintaining absolute faith to the factory original appearance and parts. To give you some idea of the level of restoration this car has undergone, I have receipts for more than $8000 spent on it in the last 5000 miles. The cleanliness of this car is shown in the pictures. It is not only clean on top, it is clean underneath and in the wheel wells. I keep it garaged and at a show level detail at all times. This is the last of the truly original 951's out there and is your chance to buy a rapidly appreciating (per Haggerty price guide) but reliable and fast old Porsche. Please see my feedback and HAPPY BIDDING! |

LaFerrari, McLaren P1, Porsche 918 and Agera R take to Assen
Tue, 10 Jun 2014It's the show-down (sort of) we've all been waiting for. The battle of the hybrid hypercars from the performance powerhouses of Europe: Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder. No one publication has managed to get their hands on all three just yet, but this video has - and with a Koenigsegg Agera R thrown in for good measure.
The video was shot by our (unrelated) Dutch compatriots at Autoblog.nl at the TT Circuit Assen in the Netherlands. The track has played host to Champ Cars and all manner of racing bikes, but this could be the ultimate grid of actual production machinery that's ever lined up behind its start/finish line. Shame the weather was rainy and this unsurpassed array of supercars weren't really racing - more showing off for the crowds. But what a show it was. Scope out the footage in the video below.
Driving the million-mile Porsche 356
Fri, 30 Aug 2013Maybe you've seen or heard about the Porsche 356 with almost one-million miles (though it doesn't look like it), but Petrolicious finally has produced a video to show us what it's like to drive the 982,000-mile car. Guy Newmark's beautiful, dark-blue 1964 356C looks great in motion - much better than in photos - and serves to remind us not only what meticulous car care can do for old classics, but that old Porsches were built to last.
So how fastidious is Newmark about maintaining it? He takes the car to his mechanic of 40 years every 3,000 miles for an oil change and to fix anything that needs attention.
Newmark says his 356 "is everything you could want," and that he finds errands to do just to go drive it. We would, too. The next-best thing is to watch the inspiring video below of the well-traveled Porsche.
Nick Murray's problematic Porsche 911 shows the power of a viral video
Fri, 18 Apr 2014When Nick Murray took delivery of his 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera S in June 2013, he had saved for it for the past five years. He didn't just pluck a random 911 off a dealer lot. He specially ordered his car with thousands of dollars in extras tailored just to him, and he captured all of the options on his YouTube channel. The love affair didn't last long. Eventually the channel became a place for Nick to air his growing list of grievances about his deteriorating 911. Eventually, his mix of righteous indignation and sarcasm went viral.
By late December, he had already had four warranty repairs done on the car. Things got much worse in March. The computers began resetting whenever Nick drove over large bumps. There was also an acrid, electrical smell that occasionally permeated the cabin. Murray filed for Lemon Law protection. Porsche Cars North America contacted him for the first time to fix the problem, but it didn't help.
Things culminated in April when Murray put up a new video that showed more troubles. He began arbitration with Porsche and asked for either his full purchase price back or an exact replacement. The company countered with a portion of what the car was worth, based on its mileage. Murray refused and turned to his YouTube watchers for help. He asked them to spread the word, and the video went viral with over 800,000 views as of this writing. Supporters posted it multiple times on Porsche's Facebook and Twitter sites.
