For sale is a very early G-series Porsche 911. It is the 43rd Porsche 911 Targa that was produced in 1973 for the model year 1974. This 40-year old classic is rust free being a SoCal car. It is a numbers matching car with 2.7 liter fuel injected engine and 5 speed type 915 transmission. The exterior paintwork finished in guards red is beautiful and has a mirror shine. The rubber mouldings, decos, bumper guards, H4 headlights, fog lights and side mirrors are pristine especially for the car's age. The German canvas convertible top is ok but the rear zippered plastic window is hazy and shows it's age. The interior is original and complete. It shows very decent especially the dash, console boxes, guages, door cards and carpeting. The powered front leather seats are cracked and torn with the driver's seat being worse than the passenger's but being original Recaros are very comfortable. The car has an aftermarket Alpine Cd unit with Pioneer speakers. Very recent preventive work was done during my ownership on what I felt were weak points of the car. The windshield weatherstrip was replaced with a brand new one because the old one was beginning to crack due to age. The inner and outer hub bearings were replaced with genuine Porsche parts because they were old and probably still the 40-year old originals. The brake system was totally restored and a brand new uprated master cylinder was installed. All the brake calipers on all 4 corners were replaced with remanufactured ones and brand new brake hoses were installed as well because they were beginning to show age. A set of 4 brand new tires that have less than 50 miles at present were mounted and balanced unto the staggered 16" Fuchs wheels. The car has current California tags and registration good up to June 2014. Winning bidder is responsible for all transportation and shipping costs. Please feel free to ask seller for any inquiry. A winning bid is final and irrevocable. |

Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'
Mon, 27 Oct 2014The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
Meet the main man behind the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3
Fri, 30 Aug 2013We have yet to catch our breath from our first drive of the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3, but if you're still not sold on the fact that this track-ready 911 is only offered with a PDK transmission, then you should take it up with Andreas Preuninger. Preuninger is the guy who led the team responsible for the latest GT3. Porsche has released a video giving a little backstory of what went into the development of the car, which had as its goal the creation of a pure, rewarding 911 driving experience.
The video captures the sights and sounds of the GT3 perfectly. Perhaps the best part is listening to Preuninger describe one of the defining moments that resulted in replacing the GT3's manual gearbox with the PDK. We don't want to ruin the video for you, so scroll down to check it out for yourself.
Porsche Macan fails moose test, Stuttgart responds
Tue, 14 Oct 2014Different countries have different safety standards, but most of them revolve around a similar set of tests: front impact, side impact, offset impact, rollover... the usual. But Sweden has its own test. It's called the Moose Test (or the Elk Test), and it's unique to Scandinavia: a car has to be able to avoid a theoretical antlered mammal on the road while traveling at 43.5 miles per hour and return to its previous course without flipping over. The Jeep Grand Cherokee ran afoul of the uniquely Nordic maneuver a couple of years ago, but even more surprising is the way the Porsche Macan has reacted.
Under testing by Sweden's Teknikens Värld, Porsche's downsized crossover - specifically the Macan S Diesel, for what it's worth - didn't flip over, but it skidded off course. In real-world conditions, it follows, the vehicle could run off the road or into oncoming traffic. The testers ran the test several times, and even removed excess weight from the vehicle, and each time it reacted the same way.
In response, Porsche has explained that the behavior is the result of its Active Rollover Protection system kicking in. When the system detects that the vehicle could drastically oversteer, flip over or lose its tire, it momentarily applies the brake on the front outside wheel, allowing the vehicle to shed the cornering forces without losing it completely.
