You're bidding on a 1977 Porsche 911S that I bought cause I was looking for a mechanically strong car and didn't care too much about the cosmetics. It fires up immediately and runs strong all day. It is a ten-foot car though-- looks great from ten feet, but as you approach some blemishes become apparent. Has some tears in the interior. It's just a hell of a good driver, not a show queen.
If you want more info: This car runs strong and had a compression test at 154,000mi the individual compressions were: 140, 155,159, 140, 147, and 154 psi. Over the 7000 mi I've owned it, I've had the oil changed twice and it's due for another one along with a 12,000mi tune up. The tires were also replaced when I purchased the car. I have records for the car going back eight years and if you're interested, please email. Had the wheel bearings and front brakes done at about 155,000mi. It does have A/C and cruise control, but neither work. It has had the engine upgrades done (so it doesn't self destruct) and is otherwise very original. Lights, windows, sunroof work. Any questions, email. If you're local, you can schedule a test-drive. If you have no feedback, don't bid without contacting me.
The car was originally purchased new in the Bay Area and I believe that it's spent its entire life in California as there is no visible rust. I'm not a Porsche guy (don't care for rear engine) and didn't expect to like driving it as much as I do, but it is very well balanced and easy to drive in the twisties. I'm selling it just so I can buy another car for my next adventure. This gorgeous old Porsche is sold as is, where is, with no explicit or implied warranty and I reserve the right to end this auction early if it's purchased locally.

Why you must buy an air-cooled Porsche 911 now
Fri, 14 Feb 2014"Because" might be a good response to our headline, but as a vintage (purists might call 'proper') Porsche 911 is hardly cheap, we suspect you'll need a better explanation than that. Enter Drive editor Mike Spinelli.
Spinelli sits down with Zac Moseley and Mick Prichinello from Classic Car Club Manhattan to first explain why the market for old, air-cooled 911s has gotten so hot over the past few years, and to discuss if it's a bubble that's about to burst. Following that, this video is really is just three guys sitting around talking about old Porsches for 35 minutes. Which, you know, we're pretty onboard with.

Porsche offers detuned Boxster and Cayman 211 in Europe
Mon, 15 Sep 2014Looking at a new Porsche Boxster? First of all, we commend you on your choice, because in its latest iteration, the Boxster has sped out from under the shadow of the 911 and into its own. But now to choose: do you get the base model with 265 horsepower, the Boxster S with 315 hp, or the top-of-the-line Boxster GTS with 330 hp? It's a daunting question, considering the $10k+ price gap between each model that you could put into the gas-and-rubber jar. Same goes for the Cayman, albeit with ten more horses across the board. But as if that's not confusing enough, there appears to be another player on the field. (That is, at least, in certain European markets.)
Appearing on the company's Belgian and Norwegian sites are the Boxster 211 and Cayman 211. As you might have guessed, they pack a less substantial 211 horsepower, undercutting what we know as the base models. Instead of using a smaller engine, though, the Boxster and Cayman 211 get the same 2.7-liter boxer six, just with less power.
As a result, they're a bit slower off the line: the Boxster 211 takes between 6.1 and 6.4 seconds to get to 62, depending on exact specifications, compared to the 5.5- to 5.8-second range for the 265-hp Boxster, while the Cayman 211 is quoted at 6.2 seconds versus the 275-hp Cayman's 5.4 to 5.7 seconds. Fuel consumption and emissions, on the other hand (and as you'd expect), are better in the 211. But while Porsche Norway charges around $10k less for the 211 models, Porsche Belgium charges the same for the 211 models as it does for the next most powerful versions (from which they appear to be visually indistinguishable).
World Car of the Year finalists announced
Fri, 07 Mar 2014To 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...).
