1971 Porsche 911E/959 Reproduction Unique lines, and raw power are the two main ingredients that make up the Porsche 959. It was the modern day Super Car of the 1980's, and to this day is still sought after by some, and dreamt of by many Porsche fanatics the world over. However, with an average price of well over a million dollars, The Porsche 959 has simply become unattainable...until now. Move over Mr. Gates, you're not the only one on the block with one of these beauties! Unlike most reproduction vehicles, this 959 captures every element of the original. No expense was spared when it came time to build this one of a kind masterpiece. The Body This reproduction was not built on some one off, or piece together frame like most others. The builder searched for the perfect canvas to build is dream on. He found that in a very solid southern California 1971 Porsche 911E. The body being one of only 1087 pieces ever built. From there the kit was purchased ($12,000) and work officially started. This would be where the real work would begin. The builder wrapped up tens of thousands of dollars, and hundreds of hours of body work to have the kit fitted and prepped for paint. Being a fanatic himself, the builder chose one of the foremost favorite colors amongst Porsche enthusiasts, Guards Red. This really made it quite the head turner! The Power-plant By far the area of expertise for this build. Most reproductions keep the standard motor that would have been present at the time of the build, but not this time. When it came time to choose the right power-plant for this build, the team knew just the right piece of Porsche engineering to propel this monster down the road. An unmolested 1975 Porsche Carerra Twin-Plug race motor with 40mm Triple Weber Carbs was just the right fit. Being one of only 1782 motors ever built this little flat six is worth over $15,000 on today’s market. (Motor #6551214) The engine just went under a rigorous fresh tune up, which included all new plugs, fully rebuilt carburetors, fresh fluids, and some timing adjustments. The sound of this engine has the ability to bring shivers down your spine. This is due to the long tube headers, and sport style exhaust. You will not find another sound as unique as this fire breathing monster! The transmission is the standard dog leg style trans that would have been original to the 1971 911E. Being that it is a 911/01 style trans. (Trans #7111264) All new shifter bushings were done, and the trans was gone through and checked out immaculately. The power from that vicious motor is transplanted to the ground through some pretty serious rubber. By using modern day Three-Piece Turbo Twist wheels wrapped in Pirelli Pzero rubber. Front (235/40-18) Rear (285/40-18) This rocket has no problem getting the power to the ground to propel this 959 down the road at break neck speeds! The Interior This area of the vehicle was done very tastefully, and represents that 1980's era perfectly with a modern twist! The inside of this 959 is white leather not matter where you're looking. The dash, door panels, all four seats, headliner, rear panels, steering wheel, shift knob, and even the emergency brake boot are all wrapped exceptionally. With the modern style white faced gauges and carbon fiber dash applique. This interior just screams style! Many of the interior features have been upgraded to their modern day counter parts. The 959 has power windows on both doors, and power seats for both driver and passenger. There are even those 70's style rear pop out windows for some extra breeze! The Perfect Package Many Porsche fanatics grew up staring at only a poster or picture of this piece of Porsche design brilliance, dreaming of the day they would own one. Well today is your chance! With over $50,000 invested in this project, you could not come close to ever building one for the this price!
With only 1231 miles since completion, why wait when you can fulfill those dreams of 959 ownership today! And not take the financial burden of owning a real one. Believe me, you will turn just as many heads, if not more with this beauty! Serious Inquiries Only: 402-496-0123 |

Video proof the Porsche 912 deserves a second look
Thu, Dec 17 2015The Porsche 912 suffered from a bad reputation for years as a lesser Porsche among the brand's ardent fans. Some people just didn't see the appeal of a coupe that shared the 911's lines but used a four-cylinder engine. The tide has started to turn recently as ballooning air-cooled 911 prices present these cars as an interesting alternative. The latest clip from Petrolicious also makes a great argument for the 912 by showing a Bahama Yellow example cruising along French roads. Like many of us, Antoine Gaslais had a tight budget and searched for years for his dream car. Things were more of a nightmare when he found his 1967 912, though. The coupe initially didn't run and then broke down once he thought it was fixed. A buddy eventually helped him get the Porsche back on the road. Gaslais knows his 912 isn't concours perfect, but that's not the point for him. Gaslais just likes to be able to cruise. Take a ride with him through some French hamlets in the latest from Petrolicious.
MotorWeek proves '90s were awesome with Supra, Stealth, RX-7, Corvette, 968, 300ZX comparo
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Oh, the heady days of 1993, back when the Clinton Presidency was just getting underway, and it seemed like every hot new rock band was coming out of Seattle. Sports cars in the US had finally shaken off the shackles that slowed them during the '70s and '80s, and you could buy any number of legitimately quick vehicles again. MotorWeek recently went digging into its archives to find this six-model test from 1993 showing off some of the best semi-affordable performance coupes that money could buy at the time, and it's priceless.
Featuring the 1994 model year Toyota Supra in twin-turbo guise and MY 1993 versions of the Porsche 968, Nissan 300ZX TT, Mazda RX-7, Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo and Chevrolet Corvette LT-1, MotorWeek definitely covered all of the bases. One thing that might surprise younger readers is these cars' performance. The video only provides 0-60 acceleration times, but several of these vehicles would still be considered pretty potent today - over 20 years since going on sale. The Supra is especially impressive, hitting 60 miles per hour in just 5 seconds. Even today, that's nothing to sneeze at.
Given their performance potential and still-attractive looks, it's amazing that some of these coupes are old enough to drink now. The progress of interior design and safety equipment in the intervening years is pretty shocking, though. In most of these models, having two airbags is touted as a big deal. Scroll down to watch a Throwback Thursday blast from the past about some of the '90s best sports cars.
Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport delivers track-only thrills for $165K
Wed, Nov 18 2015Among the cars on display in Los Angeles, production and concept cars are normal. Racers, though, are rather rare. And race-specific models that can be had for less than $200,000 are more or less unheard of. Don't tell that to Porsche, though, because the German automaker has introduced the new Cayman GT4 Clubsport for the relatively reasonable sum of $165,000. For that supercar-worthy price, you'll be getting a number of race-derived parts. As we covered in our preview post, that will include a strong roster of safety equipment, including a full roll cage and six-point harnesses that will keep you pinned in a purposeful racing bucket. The standard 18.5-gallon fuel tank can be replaced with an optional 26.5-gallon setup, while a central fire extinguisher keeps things from getting too hot out on the track. Mechanically, the Clubsport adjusts the Cayman GT4 formula for the track. The road car's 3.8-liter flat-six engine is still mounted amidships, but it's paired with super-quick, six-speed dual-clutch transmission, the critically acclaimed PDK. It's the suspension, though, that sees the most dramatic changes, as Porsche has pressed the front and rear strut suspension from the 911 GT3 Cup into duty for the GT4 Clubsport. The new system is lighter, and contributes to the track star's 2,866-pound curb weight. That's nearly a 100-pound drop over the road car. A set of four 15-inch steel rotors clamped by six-piston calipers up front and four-piston units in the rear should deliver stopping power as impressive as the cornering and acceleration. Amateur racers interested in the new coupe can purchase it directly from Porsche Motorsports North America for competition in the 2016 racing season. Homologation is still being hammered out, but Porsche expects the GT4 Clubsport to be certified for the "VLN Long Distance Championship Nurburgring, the Ultra 94 GT3 Cup Challenge Canada, the PCA Club Racing Cayman GT4 Clubsport Trophy East as well as for other club-level competition events around the world." Read on for the official press release. New Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport for the racetrack World premiere in Los Angeles LOS ANGELES, Nov. 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Porsche has added a new sports car for amateur and club racing to its Motorsports fleet: The Cayman GT4 Clubsport celebrated its world premiere today at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
