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 to develop new line of engines for next Panamera

Sat, 22 Mar 2014

When the second generation of the four-door Porsche Panamera launches, it will likely be riding a new platform, complete with an all-new family of V6 and V8 engines, according to a report coming out of the UK.
Autocar reports that the so-called MSB platform will likely underpin the Panamera, and it could be shared with Bentley, provided the Volkswagen-owned, British-built brand commits to the architecture. As for the engines, it's reported that they'll have a sportier character than the V6s and V8s being built for Volkswagen and Audi's vehicles.
"Porsche will have its own new V8 that will be common to the new MSB platform," Porsche's chief engineer, Wolfgang Hatz, said. "It's a family for the next 10 years of cars." Whether the V8 and V6 will be used outside of the Panamera line, though, remains unclear. There's also no mention of what place turbocharging would have with the new engines.

Watch 1,208 Porsche 911s collect at Silverstone for world record

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Porsche has been spending the majority of 2013 celebrating the 50th birthday of the 911, with its latest stunt taking the German brand to the home of British motorsports, Silverstone. To celebrate, Porsche invited enthusiasts to take their personal 911s on a lap of the former airfield, and boy, did the Porschephiles show up. 1,208 911s took part in the lap around the Grand Prix circuit, making it the largest-ever gathering of the iconic, rear-engined cars.
This wasn't just a celebration of 50 years for the 911, though. Funds raised were channeled towards Hope For Tomorrow, a cancer charity that works with the United Kingdom's National Health Service in operating mobile chemothereapy units that make life just a little bit easier on cancer patients.
Take a look at the long video below, and enjoy the passing of what are likely examples of every 911 model ever built.

World Car of the Year finalists announced

Fri, 07 Mar 2014

To say the 2014 Geneva Motor Show was packed full of news is an understatement as big as the show's home at the Palexpo convention center. Despite everything that we were able to cover during this year's show, there's still more coming out of Switzerland, including the announcement of the finalists for the 2014 World Car of the Year Awards.
We reported on the original list of finalists over three weeks ago, and now, that initial list has been pared down to three finalists for each of the five awards. The finalists were announced at a press conference by frequent Autoblog contributor and co-chair of the awards, Matt Davis (above).
The finalists for the overall title of 2014 World Car of the Year are the Audi A3, the BMW 4 Series and the Mazda3. The World Luxury Car of the Year will be either the Bentley Flying Spur, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, while the Performance Car of the Year will be awarded to the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, the Ferrari 458 Speciale or the Porsche 911 GT3 (which, um, yeah...).
