Original, Unmodified, Unrestored, Unwelded, 1967 911S.

Original white paint, black leatherette interior.
Solid, straight, and complete with all early documentation.
Accident free and never raced or rallied.

Condition:.

128,000 original miles (odometer replaced at 60K miles) but engine ran out of oil due to oil supply line failure.
Seats, luggage compartment carpeting, door panels, headliner, sun visors, instruments, leather-covered steering wheel, and dashboard fascia and top all in good to excellent condition. Floor carpeting intact but worn. Foot pedal rubbers lightly and evenly worn. Trunk center carpeting oil stained with some loss of material on driver's side corner near battery.
All Fuchs optional 5.5-inch, 5-spoke wheels are near-perfect, no apparent dings, spare never used. Tire jack in new condition.
Minimal rust: RF fender has moderate rust-through in two spots, LF fender rusting through near rocker; some surface rust in corners, along bumpers, and rocker panels. Doors and jambs in impressive condition. No sunroof.
Underbody seems to have only surface rust. No rust holes in floor pan, jacking points intact. Doors, hood, and engine lid are in perfect gap alignment. Dealer undercoated at 18K miles.
Doors, windows, handbrake, control and release cables (except heater cables) function like new.
Instruments, ancillary electrical equipment, and wiring appear in excellent condition. Fuse block and area behind instrument panel look nearly new. Underhood, spare well, battery mount, clamps, and covers are all in exceptionally nice condition.
Frame integrity: No flex or weakness anywhere in body structure. Both doors open and shut freely when jacked on one side at rear torsion bar. Early 911 Coupes possess greater long-term structural integrity than Targa versions.
According to David Morley at Drive.com.au in April 2014, "Porsche 911 Targa first drive:"
     The perceived problems with the original Targa centred around the fact that by chopping the roof off the 911, the bodyshell lost a lot
     of its structural integrity; a quality that was one of the 911 coupe’s long suits.

     Perhaps even more importantly than that, the shift to a removable targa roof suddenly robbed the 911 of one of its visual signatures;
     that sexy window line in profile

     Throw in the inevitable water leaks and extra wind noise, and the Targa model was soon perceived as 911 Lite.

Features:

Unfortunate engine failure is your opportunity to obtain a coveted and iconic 911S.
Body is a perfect candidate for either cosmetic or total restoration.
No prior attempt made to dismantle, weld, repair, restore, or turn engine crankshaft.

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.

Porsche ready to pick itself up after Le Mans failure

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

It's safe to say that things for Porsche didn't go quite as well at Le Mans this year as it might have hoped. After a sixteen-year gap, the winningest manufacturer in endurance racing history returned to the Circuit de la Sarthe this year hoping maybe not for outright victory in its first time back, but definitely a strong finish on which it could build on for next year. All the while it undoubtedly hoped its 911s would hold their own in the GT classes.
Unfortunately for Porsche, neither happened. After racing around the clock, and despite actually leading the festivities for some time, the best its 919 Hybrid could manage was an eleventh-place finish, lagging lamentably behind not only the other LMP1s (like the race-winning Audi) but also a handful of LMP2s. Meanwhile the LMGTE Pro and LMGTE Am titles went to the factory-backed teams of its arch-rivals Ferrari and Aston Martin, respectively.
Not a stellar result, in other words, but Porsche is taking it all in stride - accepting that it has a ways to go while congratulating its vanquishing rivals in the video below. It's good sportsmanship if we've ever seen it. Next year's race starts now.

J.D. Power: Vehicle dependability at all-time high, Lexus and Porsche lead

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Each year, J.D. Power and Associates surveys original owners of three-year-old vehicles to find out what kinds of problems they have had experienced over the last 12 months, and then it uses this data to create its annual Vehicle Dependability Study. This means that the models in the 2013 study are 2010 model year vehicles, and J.D. Power rates each make as well as the top individual models based on how many problems were experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100).
Debunking the idea that carryover models are more dependable than new or updated models, the 2013 study found that the average carryover model experienced 133 PP100, while all-new or redesigned vehicles for the 2010 model year had 116 PP100; vehicles that received minor changes fared the best with just 111 PP100. The overall average for all makes was 126 PP100, which is the lowest figure since the findings were first issued in 1989.
