 A very special 911 with a great history... She began life as a '72 T and had been in San Diego her for 35 years alone. Volker Bruckmann (VGCC Management, Santee (San Diego), CA), a racer and engine builder... and probably up there with any other Porsche engine builder, bought her in the early 80s and raced her in Baja (see photo). Volker, a native of Wolfsburg Germany, has always loved racing and found himself in 1970 in the Porsche pits at the Daytona 24 hour race. There he assisted the Porsche Salzburg team with their 917 Porsche. Volker's usefulness ensured his presence at Sebring, Watkins Glen, and through the 1971 US season in the newly formed Martini-Rossis Porsche Team under Udo Schutz and Hans-Dieter Dechent. He took part in the overall victory at Sebring in 1971. In November 1983, the first Porsche-powered win was executed by Mark Mcmillin in taking the overall four-wheel crown at the Baja 1000. Mark won three more Baja 1000 overall titles with Volker's Porsche off-road race engines. From 1982 through 1988, Volker's Porsche engines changed the face of the sport. At that time, he developed several successful Baja 1000 winning engines for the McMillin’s, Larry Ragland and Denny Letner. People said before that the Porsche 911 engine did not make enough low end torque to be useful in SCORE competition. Back to the ’72 RS Replica. Volker raced it at the 1989 La Carrera Classico from Ensenada to San Felipe, Baja, California. After a 200km all out run against Steve Saleen in his hot "Fastest in America" Mustang, this car beat Steve by some 15 seconds with Stefan Schleissing (GTS-Classics Seats) of Germany at the wheel placing 4th overall. Volker, won the Vintage class and finished 2nd overall that day.

She has never bent or hit, has all the good stuff in it and is RUST FREE. Camber bar, Bilstein front and rear struts, 917-930 (Turbo) calipers and rotors, drilled custom torsion bars, adjustable Weltmeister anti-sway bars and a huge front oil cooler. SSI stainless steel heater boxes with a Porsche Exhaust that makes the finest sound you can imagine. Her ride is firm but not brutal. The car responds like a go-cart with superb balance. The car has polished Fuchs wheels; 6” front with 195/60/15 and 7” rear with 215/60/15.The engine was  fully overhauled by Volker with new Mahle piston and cylinders, Glyco bearings, timing chains, Carillo rods, new guides/valves/springs. 2x46 triple barrel Weber carbs and Holly red fuel pump with gauge and PMO regulator provide the mixture to propel this little rocket. The case and heads are from an early 930 (aluminum IROC) and the heads have been ported and polished. The 3.3 liter engine is rated at approximately 300hp and max torque of 280. Also has a 25 gal fuel tank. Volker is a master and this engine is only one of three that he has built to these specs. To those that know this car, her name was "Grandma". The others sit in championship cars in private collections.
 
I purchased this car from an R Groupe Member and continued the restoration back to original period correct. No expense spared. Every part replaced has been with with real Porsche parts. New AC and a long list of replaced parts. Last showing at PCA Concourse event, car won best in class. I moved the car to Florida in 2005. Initially,  work was done by Butch Stokes in South Florida (very famous local Porsche tech). Seats are original rare Recaro re-done by Interiors International. These seats alone were over $6,000. All guages tuned by North Hollywood Speedometer. New headliner, carpets, New Period correct Radio. In 2010, car was taken over and maintained and worked on by PCA local President shop, Foreign Affairs, in Deerfield Beach. They proceeded to dig deeper and replace period correct Porsche parts to include oil lines on side of car, shroud, the entire front had been restored and replaced (see pic) and a list of others just to make this as true as an RS as possible.  A call to Bob V. will tell everything that no expense was spared. The entire car has been gone through. Tough to give up as this has been a passion of  love for the last 7 years. Car is now back in Southern California and gargaged/covered. At recent Sunday am auto shows, car has been a stopper and looker. Last picture is from PCA So Fla award event.  Most of its recent life has been at shows. A true RS at auctions are over $200k. This is a rare find for any car enthusiast.

Road & Track names its 2013 Performance Car of the Year

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

Road & Track recently staged its first annual Performance Car of the Year test, pitting 13 new and updated performance cars against each other on track, then graduating the top six to a road test before picking a winner. Additionally, the magazine staff picked the best automobiles of the year in eight categories.
But first, let's cover the PCotY segment. Here's the list of cars brought to the comparison test: Audi R8 V10 Plus; BMW 435i; BMW M6 Competition Package; Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51; Ferrari F12 Berlinetta; Ford Fiesta ST; Jaguar F-Type V8 S; Jaguar XFR-S; Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model Wagon; Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series; Mini John Cooper Works GP; Nissan GT-R Track Edition; and Porsche Cayman S.
To find out the results of the comparison, head over to Road & Track's website or check the press release below, where you'll also find the magazine's top-rated vehicles in eight categories. Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).

Porsche looks back on very first 911 Turbo

Wed, 11 Jun 2014

Porsche has really hit on a winning formula with its series of videos going inside its vault. So far, we've seen the V8 911 prototype, mid-engine test mule and aerodynamic prototype. The company is sticking with the 911 theme in the latest entry, but this time it's an actual production car - the very first 911 Turbo ever made.
Being the first Turbo would make it important enough, but the car was also a birthday present for Louise Piëch, daughter of Ferdinand Porsche and sister to Ferry Porsche, and she regularly used the car. The family didn't just hand her a random car off the assembly line, either. She got to make it her own with some interesting modifications. She supposedly even painted landscapes from inside the car.
You have to wonder what Piëch thought of her present. The early Turbos had a reputation for being a bit of a handful to drive. The boost tended to bring the power all at once, which wasn't always welcome when cornering. She deserves some honor just for driving the car on the curvy, alpine roads. Scroll down to learn about this important Porsche, and we can't wait to see what car the brand showcases next.

McQueen's Porsche 917 from Le Mans races to the auction block

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

Steve McQueen may have been the headline actor of the motorsport cult classic film Le Mans, but we all know who the real star was. Or rather, what: the Porsche 917. More specifically, it was the Gulf-liveried #22 - not McQueen's #21 - that won the race, making it one of the most iconic cars ever to drive across the silver screen. And now it's going up for auction.
This 1969 Porsche 917K, chassis 917-024, has a storied history both on and off the screen, even if it didn't win any (off-screen) races of note. This example was the first 917 to be campaigned in an actual race when Porsche handed it to Jo Siffert to drive against the Ferrari 312P and Ford GT40 at the Spa-Francorchamps 1000 Km race in 1969. Siffert found the early example too unstable and ultimately drove an earlier 908 to the checkered flag, but after 917-024 set the fastest time at the following year's Le Mans test day, Siffert acquired it outright.
The Swiss racing driver loaned the car to Solar Productions for use in the film, after which it returned to Siffert's collection until he was killed in an F1 exposition race at Brands Hatch in 1971. In a testament to how much he loved the car, it was 917-024 that lead the funeral procession. The car subsequently fell off the radar until it resurfaced in 2001 as one of the greatest barn finds of the new millennium. Now fully restored and resplendent in its original baby blue and orange, 917-024 is headed to the auction block at Pebble Beach where you can be sure that Gooding & Company will bring in a suitably high price for arguably the most iconic example of one of the most iconic Porsches of all time.
