This is a completely original 1975 911S Silver Anniversary Model with the factory silver plaque #255 off the assembly line with a total of 700 cars produced.  I am the original owner and purchased the vehicle on 2/12/1975 from my local Porsche/Mercedes dealer in Alabama.  I personally drove the car for it's entire life of 191056 miles and I have all maintenance records.  This vehicle has never been in an accident and no body work has ever been performed on this vehicle.


The engine was rebuilt one time in December of 1986 - it had 125821 miles on the odometer at that time.  To my surprise, the mechanic discovered that the engine had racing cams (installed at the factory) - this was the first and only time that the engine had been rebuilt.  The vehicle is in running condition, however the engine is due to be rebuilt.

The original metallic paint with clear coat had an issue from the factory and at that time Porsche gave me $250 to repaint it (even in 1975 this was no help), so it clearly needs to be repainted.  However, the body is in good shape with minimal rust for it's age.  The main rust issue on the driver's door was most likely the result of removing the door to replace the antenna and not sealing it properly.

The transmission is original and still functions with no issues.  The special cloth, only available on this model is in pretty good condition - as you can see by the pictures of the door panels - they look like they did in 1975.  The leatherette on the front seats did not fare as well, though the seat backs survived the years very well.  Nothing has been changed from the original vehicle, except that the small air recirculation pump was removed and the connections to the engine plugged with brass seals.

I have the original owners manual and case and the complete tool kit including the air pump for the inflatable spare (still works fine).  Ihave some beautiful color brochures from the dealership circa 1975 and I have some xerox copies of the factory workshop manuals from the dealership ( a mechanic loaned them to me).  I even have the dealer microfiche that shows the complete parts break down with part numbers, pictures . . .

I am including quite a few photos that should give you a good picture of the vehicle and I can provide more pictures and videos, if you are a serious buyer.  And if you have questions, just let me know.

Porsche 911 R is made for the purist

Tue, Mar 1 2016

Who wouldn't welcome a new version of the Porsche 911 with ultra-light weight, a GT3 RS motor, a stripper interior, and a core philosophy of driving fun over outright lap times? The iconic Porsche 911 has been getting larger and more complicated with each passing generation, and that hasn't sat well with every engineer at Porsche. So there's a ready market out there for 911 R, a limited-edition show stopper of just 911 cars, due to start production in Zuffenhausen, Germany, in May. It's a car that combines a unique version of the six-speed manual gearbox, plenty of raw, naturally aspirated flat-six power, and all the feel of a cut-price version of the 911 GT3 RS pseudo racer. Yes, Porsche is bringing the beloved six-speed stick back to the sharp end of the 911, even though the brand's quickest cars are now dominated by the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (and the less loved seven-speed manual). Porsche insists that the RS is still the 911 to have if it's stopwatch-bashing you need to do. Instead, the 911 R developers focused on trying to give it the most driving purity it could cram in. The most traditional way for motorsport operations to do that has always been to rip out weight. And Porsche Motorsport didn't diverge from the plan. The 911's rear seats have been thrown out, along with a raft of other pieces Porsche Motorsport thought it could either do without completely, redesign to be lighter or stronger, or both. View 18 Photos The R cuts 110 pounds from the next-lightest 911 variant, hitting 3,020 pounds on the scales. The pound-cutting starts at the body and bores all the way into the 911 R's chassis components, though there are some obvious nods to the marketing department that survived the dietician's axe. There is a lot of 911 GT3 in the body, with a combination of a carbon fiber (bonnet and front guards), a magnesium roof, polycarbonate front and side "glass," and aluminum everywhere else. The R cuts 110 pounds from the next-lightest 911 variant, hitting 3,020 pounds on the scales. While the 911 R has lurid (and deletable) red or green racing stripes as standard, it's not supposed to be as wild looking as the GT3. Porsche replaced the GT3's adjustable, tall-standing rear spoiler with a more-subtle pop-up version, and the R uses a rear diffuser under the bumper to offset any loss of rear downforce. The rear seats are gone, and the two remaining seats use carbon fiber shells upholstered in tartan cloth (another nod to early 911s).

The 2014 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S brings 50 extra ponies to Detroit

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Porsche has announced a new version of its popular SUV today at the Detroit Auto Show: the 550-horsepower 2014 Cayenne Turbo S.
This newly minted "flagship" of the Cayenne lineup is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.8-liter V8 engine, and offers 50 hp more than the Cayenne Turbo. Performance figures are impressive for the sleek utility vehicle: 0-60 miles per hour can be dashed off in 4.3 seconds, while maximum speed is rated at 175 mph. The Turbo S also gets dynamic chassis control, torque vectoring and Porsche's Sport Chrono package - all standard equipment.
Visually the Cayenne Turbo S differentiates itself from the lesser models in pretty subtle ways. Gloss black trim decorates the gawping front air intakes, as well as rear-view mirror trim panel. The SUV also wears 21-inch Turbo II wheels, a la the 911 Turbo.

Lightspeed Classic 911 rocks out with its sprockets out

Thu, Sep 3 2015

Singer does a pretty damn good job re-imagining the Porsche 911, but the faithful will aptly tell you that it's not the only name in the business. Munich-based Autoaktiv Motorsport also does a pretty compelling rendition of the classic German sports car. It's called the Lightspeed Classic, and this video clip casts it in light as good as we've ever seen. The brainchild of former Porsche engineer Ralf Skatulla, the Lightspeed Classic is based on the 964 but upgrades some key components while keeping the classic style. Power comes from a 3.8-liter flat-six from the 964 RS (albeit rebuilt with titanium components) that's been retuned to deliver 340 horsepower. It's got the gearbox from a 996 Turbo, the clutch from a 997 GT3 RS, and the brakes from a 996 GT3 Cup, along with Michelin Pilot Sport rubber coating a set of Fuchs-style BBS alloys. The result, as you can see, is lovely. Especially with Tim Schrick behind the wheel. The German racing driver is also a television personality, co-hosting D Motor – Germany's equivalent to Top Gear – alongside Sabine Schmitz and Carsten van Ryssen. Which is all well and fine, but what you really want to do is scope out the footage for yourself. If you dig Porsches (or even if you don't), it'll probably be the best 49 seconds you'll spend all day. Related Video:
