This is a no reserve auction for a 1977 Porsche 924 Martini & Rossi edition. Approximately 3000 of the cars were produced to commemorate Porsche’s racing victories in the previous years with a plaque on the center console of the car to this end. This particular car was originally sold in Portland Oregon in 1977 and then purchased by the previous owner in 1978 and brought back to Seattle Washington where it spent the remainder of it’s life until I purchased the car last year and brought it back home to Portland. Exterior and Body: The body is in decent condition for a car of this age. There is no major rust anywhere to be found although there are some dings and touchups that have been done over the years. It looks to have been repainted at some point in its original color. As can be seen in the photos, the front valence is worn and there are some rock chips on the hood where there is some minor surface rust. Interior: The interior is all original down to the Blaupunkt 8-track tape player and is in fantastic condition. The seats and carpet still have a deep red hue and look great. The original leather steering wheel is still with the car as well. The dash is cracked in places as can be seen in the photos but other than that it looks almost new. Mechanical: The car runs, drives, stops, and shifts through all the gears. I drive the car on the weekends and have not had any issues. There are no fluid leaks since replacing the oil pan gasket, no smoke, and the car starts right up. Since picking up the car I had the following done by an independent Porsche shop. Replaced oil pan gasket, oil filter, fuel filter, and oil change. Replaced Timing belt and tensioner. Replaced engine mounts with new ones from vibra-technics. Replaced headlamp relay and switches so headlights are now fully functioning. New Toyo tires all around. Everything works on the car other than the odometer which stopped at 102892 miles. The previous owner guessed that about 20000 miles were put on since then but I cannot verify so mileage is unknown. Other: The car has had the EGR equipment disabled or removed. The buyer must do due diligence to understand the emissions requirements for their state. The car passed Oregon emissions and has current tags good through November 2015. Buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements. The car is located in Portland Oregon. This is a 37 year old car and has not undergone any type of complete restoration either mechanical or cosmetic. The car is being sold As Is. I have a clean and clear title for the car and original manuals. A 500 dollar deposit is due within 24 hours of the auction end and the balance is due within
This is a nice original example of this edition and an interesting part of Porsche’s history. Good luck and happy bidding. |

Porsche Macan sales may push brand past 200K unit goal early
Tue, 13 Aug 2013In late 2010, Volkswagen announced that it would spend the equivalent of $71 billion through 2015 to beef up its product lineup, determined to overtake Toyota in overall sales and profitability by 2018. Each of VW's many brands, in turn, would play its part contributing to a goal of 10 million sales per year. VW-owned Porsche was expected to sell 200,000 vehicles per year by 2018, but with the imminent arrival of the Macan small sport utility vehicle in 2014, the automaker is poised to meet that goal years ahead of schedule, Automotive News reports.
Porsche sold 143,096 cars in 2012, and IHS Automotive predicts Porsche will sell 63,000 Macans in 2014, according to Automotive News, which would make it the brand's best-selling vehicle. Do the math and you can see how Porsche could easily beat original expectations ahead of schedule. But Porsche's sales and marketing boss Bernhard Maier says not so fast: "We will not offer [63,000 Macans] in 2014 as we will still be ramping up production and introducing models top down," he told Automotive News Europe. Whether Porsche surpasses the 200,000 mark early or not, he said, the company will not set a new sales target and will remain committed to its business model.
The Macan shares its architecture with the Audi Q5, but Porsche will be able to charge more for its SUV. Tim Urquhart, a senior analyst at IHS Autmotive, told Automotive News that Porsche can charge 10 to 20 percent more, for what is basically the same SUV, than other VW Group brands. How's that for brand value?
2015 Porsche Macan Turbo
Mon, 06 Jan 2014The misinformation first started back in May of 2007 - more than six years ago - when word came that Porsche was developing a compact utility vehicle to fill out its product line. Rumors swirled that the German automaker's future "Roxster" would be based on the then-upcoming Audi Q5. By September of 2010, the name had changed to "Cajun," but the vehicle was still expected to be "based heavily on the Audi Q5," said reports in the months that followed. One year later, the first test mules were spotted, the mechanics hidden beneath barely disguised Audi sheetmetal, which did nothing to give the upcoming model its own identity. And even after Porsche announced "Macan" as the vehicle's production name in early 2012, articles stated that it would "arrive on the same chassis as the Audi Q5, though with suspension, brake and engine tweaks suitable to the Porsche range."
It's no wonder that most still consider the all-new Porsche Macan nothing more than a heavily massaged Q5.
To help lift some of the mystery surrounding its latest release, Porsche hosted us in Germany for an in-depth look at its new crossover (while Europeans call it a "sport utility," its car platform allows us to call it a proper CUV). The technology workshop offered us insight to the design and mechanical execution, and it concluded with a short test ride. The trip was both enlightening and educational - and it left us with a whole new perspective on the Macan.
First-ever Porsche headed home to company museum
Wed, 29 Jan 2014About 30 years before Ferdinand Porsche designed the Volkswagen Beetle, he created the Egger-Lohner electric vehicle, C.2 Phaeton model - or simply, the P1 - you see above. This was the first vehicle created by Porsche, and the car gets its nickname from the fact that he had stamped "P1" on many of the parts marking it as the first Porsche... sorry, 356 No. 1.
Now while you'd think that such an important piece of Porsche heritage has been in a museum or even the automaker's not-so-secret lair, it has actually been sitting at a warehouse for the last 112 years. Thankfully, that's all about to change as Porsche has recovered P1, and the car will soon be on "permanent display" at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart.
The P1 has a 3 horsepower motor capable of delivering a top speed of 21 miles per hour and a driving range of 49 miles, and, like many vehicles in Porsche's history, the motor is positioned at the rear of the vehicle. According to the press release posted below, the P1 finished first in a 24-mile electric vehicle race in Berlin in 1899, but it has been sitting since 1902.
