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 finally gives up the goods on 2014 Macan

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Preparing a beachhead in the marketplace for the 2014 Porsche Macan crossover has been a years-long project for the German company. We've been hearing and reporting on rumors of the vehicle from its ideation stage and have covered the Macan's birth thoroughly over the last 12 months, including teasers, rumors, spy shots, leaked videos and more. Now, just ahead of the LA Auto Show-debut of Porsche's first-ever compact crossover, the wait for details is at an end.
Porsche will offer the crossover in two flavors to start: Macan S and Macan Turbo. The S model will be fitted with a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine that makes 340 horsepower and will push the vehicle from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 5.2 seconds, then on to a top speed of 156 miles per hour. The Macan Turbo has even more impressive figures on all fronts: an all-new, 400-horsepower, twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 engine; 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds; top speed of 164 mph. Both models make use of Porsche's seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission as standard.
As impressive as these potent powertrains are the brakes Porsche is fitting to its new crossover. Six-piston monobloc fixed-caliper brakes live up front, grabbing 13.78-inch discs on the S model and tremendous 14.17-inch discs on the Macan Turbo. We're expecting serious stopping performance, to say the least.

Porsche's baby Panamera delayed until 2019 or later

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

If you're enticed by the idea of a Porsche sedan but find the Panamera to be too big, your hopes may have been raised by the development of the so-called Pajun. But don't get those hopes up too much, because the latest word coming in from the Old World has it that the Panamera Junior has been delayed.
The Pajun was (and theoretically still is, despite tardiness) a project to apply to the Panamera the same winning formula that Porsche used to transmute the Cayenne into the smaller Macan. Its size would be closer to the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes E-Class than the larger Panamera, and employ an array of six-cylinder engines.
The smaller five-door was set to be the cornerstone of Porsche Product Strategy 2018, a plan that included several new models to be launched within the next four years. However, reports now indicate that the Volkswagen Group is counting on Porsche to help bolster its profits and is not keen on investing in new products at this time, pushing the Pajun and other projects back until 2019 at the earliest. Although much of the strategy remains undisclosed, it is believed to include (or have included) a sub-Boxster sports car and a supercar to slot in between the 911 and the 918 Spyder. There was also talk of a shooting brake version of the Panamera based on the Sport Turismo concept pictured above. What will become of those projects, however, remains to be seen.

Porsche (finally) unleashes full, official details on 918 Spyder

Mon, 09 Sep 2013

Porsche has finally let released all of the details on the 918 Spyder, the German brand's challenger to the McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari, after months of leading our poor, performance-loving hearts on. The covers were lifted at the Volkswagen Group night, an enormous precursor to the Frankfurt Motor Show, and include a massive, 11,000-word press release that's attached at the bottom of this page.
The 918 Spyder features a mid-mounted, dry-sump-lubricated, 4.6-liter V8 engine that generates 608 horsepower when left to its own devices. Combined with a trio of electric motors, which produce 286 hp, the total system horsepower for the 918 Spyder rests at 887 ponies. That's less than the McLaren P1 (903 hp) and the LaFerrari (949 hp), but the Porsche is also likely to be a bit cheaper, starting at $845,000, while the McLaren will be in the seven-figure range for certain, and it will more than likely be joined by the LaFezza.
The 918 Spyder counters with a 2.8-second jog to 62, a 7.7-second run to 124 and it will hit 186 in 22 seconds.
