1978 Porsche 924 Track Car. This car is track ready, tech inspected and recently ran at Brainerd,MN International Raceway. Built by Bill Katz (Katz Klassics) in the mid 90s near Pittsburgh. Bill is known for his work on European cars and built this car for his wife to drive at the track. Built with many upgrades to engine, transmission and suspension. I visited with Bill about the car before I bought it and he said he built it with the "best of the best". Procar by Scat race seat and race alignment/setup make for a fun car to get into track time at BIR. It's also street legal. Bottom line is that this car was built by an expert and is fun to drive at the track.

I have five new RARE 14 inch Hoosier race tires and five Porsche rims worth well over $1,500 that I am willing to include. 

Purchased the car last summer and went through the brake system, new inner wheel and outer wheel bearings and a new strut to replace one that was leaking. This car had no problem passing track tech inspection. I visited with Bill regarding what he put into the car, he recently told me: Turbo fuel pump, Audi 5cy trubo fuel pressure valve regulator, throttle body was ported out, adjustable cam gear, Ansa exhaust system off turbo model. He also lowered the car with a spring kit. Other details I know about the car: 2.0 single overhead cam, long tume headers, Wiseco Pistons 0.50 over, 79 transmission for shorter gear ratio, KYB shocks, Procar by Scat Race seat, 5 point harness and OEM 3 point on driver and passenger sides (for ride a longs), MSD wires and Coil, Motor painted to match the color of car, very little rust - was stored most of its life, BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires - same tire Bill put on in the 90s. Plenty of tread for cruising the town, Roll Cage, Working turning signals, lights and brake lights. (Note: headlights must be turned up manually and the windshield wipers don't work) I didn't fix either because I didn't need either to run at track.
Really looking forward to driving this car this fall but need to sell. Great opportunity to get into a track car for very little money.  
 
Please email me with any questions.

Thanks for looking.

Meet the man that discovered and restored the oldest existing Porsche

Tue, 11 Mar 2014

Luciano Rupolo is an absolutely fascinating gentleman. He was born in France but spent nearly his entire life in Italy as an auto mechanic running his own shop. His grandfather and father instilled a love of sports cars in him that he carried on by historic racing in Italy for decades. He saw his life-long automotive passion repaid when he found and restored the car that might have been the first Porsche registered for the road.
You can spot in his garage a split-window Corvette, Ferrari 250 GTE and other exotics, but Rupolo's most interesting automotive story concerns his Iso Grifo Competizione (pictured above). The sports coupe was found in the Canary Islands as little more than a shell, but Rupolo got help from a prestigious source for its restoration. The result is a motoring masterpiece.
Rupolo is a fantastic storyteller with a captivating, tale to tell. Settle in, scroll down and watch the bittersweet documentary about his life with one of the first Porsches.

2014 Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid is one mean green machine

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

The entire Porsche Panamera lineup gets a refresh for the 2014 model year, and new additions to the range include two long-wheelbase models and this E-Hybrid fuel-sipper that makes its debut here at the Shanghai Motor Show. And, well, we say "fuel-sipper lightly."
Porsche has packed its hybrid Panamera with 416 horsepower and 435 pound-feet of torque, and that certainly makes for one quick sedan-hatchback-thing. Hitting 60 miles per hour will reportedly take just 5.2 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 167 mph. And while Porsche hasn't revealed specific powertrain details, the company says that the S E-Hybrid "improves upon the concept offered by the previous Panamera S Hybrid with a more powerful electric motor," which leads us to believe that the supercharged 3.0-liter V6 engine at the heart of it all still remains intact.
Fuel economy numbers (or estimates) have not been released as of this writing, but we expect to have that information closer to the car's on-sale date later this year. As for the new battery system, Porsche says that when plugged into a 240-volt charging station, it can be fully charged in just two and a half hours. When topped off, the Panamera S E-Hybrid should have an electric driving range of around 20 miles at speeds up to 84 mph, though, obviously, not at the same time.

eBay Find of the Day: 1981 Porsche 928 convertible by Carelli

Wed, 30 Apr 2014

The Porsche 928 was perhaps the consummate European GT of its day. With a powerful front-mounted V8 engine that grew in displacement as the model years went on, it was capable of eating up the miles at triple-digit speeds in great comfort for occupants. It was also an unusual beauty, with its sharp front and curved rear featuring innovative integrated bumpers.
Currently for auction on eBay Motors is one of the rarest 928s you're likely to find, in a handsome combination of Guards Red paint and tan leather interior, though we wouldn't mind a less-showy finish to the factory wheels. According to the seller, this car is one of eight 928 convertibles by Carelli Design, a firm that's still in business.
The auction claims that these cars were made in 1981 as a feasibility study between Carelli and Porsche for a possible production 928 convertible. The seller says he worked at the dealership where the car is said to have been originally sold $103,000. To remove the roof and hide the convertible top, there were significant changes made to the body and interior, including redesigned doors and a completely new trunk. As you can see in the gallery, when down, the top is completely hidden in a very factory-like fashion. When up, it looks slightly awkward, though (and we'd really like to see a rear three-quarter view to check out the blind spots).
