1978 Porsche 911 on 2040-cars
Dixie, Washington, United States
Just email me at: nguyetnddaner@rangersfans.com .
For sale is my 1978 Porsche 911SC, It is white with the black leather/vinyl interior. Pictured is a Recaro racing
seat, which is not included in the purchase of this vehicle. The driver's stock black seat (as on the passenger
side) would be included (as well as its original full interior). For an additional cost, I would be interested in
selling the spare parts I have from other SC's and 930 Turbos which includes almost another entire interior, A/C
parts, turbo decklid, headlights and taillights, turbo width Fuchs etc. I will try to work on photos of all the
parts I have if you are interested in buying them as well. This car just received about $5k in recent servicing
done at Northwest German in Lynnwood area just a few months ago. Within the past 1K miles its has also received
brand new Potenza RE-11's (205/55/16 and 245/45/16), brand new battery, brake service/flush, engine cleaning,
rebuilt fuel system (tank, pump, filter and lines/hoses), new spark plugs, transmission service/flush, oil change
and the addition of new adjustable rear sway bar end links. This car is ready to go to its new home. This car runs,
drives and stops great. It was imported from Europe by the previous owner, which is why it has the Amber rear
corners as well as some other features only Euro cars have, such as the headlights, I have been told. Actual
mileage unknown, however the car was imported with 88K km's, but had a odo/speedo replacement for MPH/Miles and it
reads much higher than true mileage. The undercarriage and cleanliness (read lack of rust) shows that this is a
lower mileage example, always with proper storage. Paint is really shiny however, it does have rock chips, due to
its age if you look closely. Honestly it looks astounding driving down the road and would make for a great track
car or daily driver. It is not a show queen or a concourse winner. The interior has recently been refreshed with
felted racing carpets (dark grey), RS door panels and a WEVO Shifter really help make this interior look and feel
new. The car does have a bolt in rear cage as well as a handful of suspension modifications (front and rear sway
bar/strut tower brace, Bilstien shocks, lowered etc.) It also has an aftermarket exhaust system which sounds great
as well as a Momo steering wheel. This post is a feeler as I am considering a new car and would need to make room.
Let me know if you have any further questions and please don't waste your time trying to lowball me.

Porsche responds to PETA after tiger cub displays at Macan dealership events
Tue, 13 May 2014Porsche has found itself in the good graces of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which is pretty odd considering it's the only brand we know of that offers leather-lined vents. The activist group is praising the sports car manufacturer's handling of reports that some of its dealerships were set to feature tigers or tiger cubs at the local launch events for the Macan. Apparently, "macan" is the Malay word for tiger, which explains the connection between a highly touted crossover and a jungle cat.
A Tampa, FL dealership already displayed some three-week-old cubs, with PETA saying tigers for display should be at least eight to 12 weeks old. Even then, the group argues that the animals can suffer due to stress, malnourishment, neglect and a lack of veterinary care. The group brings up legal concerns, as well, arguing that if one of the cubs bit a customer, the dealership could be held liable (we're no big cat experts, but it seems unlikely a three-week-old cub could do that much damage).
Porsche's PR department quickly reacted to PETA's claims, with Vice President of Marketing Andre Oosthuizen, telling the group that Porsche is concerned about the "welfare of any animal, large or small, wild or domesticated." Oosthuizen's statements were reported in an official PETA blog.
First-ever Porsche headed home to company museum
Wed, 29 Jan 2014About 30 years before Ferdinand Porsche designed the Volkswagen Beetle, he created the Egger-Lohner electric vehicle, C.2 Phaeton model - or simply, the P1 - you see above. This was the first vehicle created by Porsche, and the car gets its nickname from the fact that he had stamped "P1" on many of the parts marking it as the first Porsche... sorry, 356 No. 1.
Now while you'd think that such an important piece of Porsche heritage has been in a museum or even the automaker's not-so-secret lair, it has actually been sitting at a warehouse for the last 112 years. Thankfully, that's all about to change as Porsche has recovered P1, and the car will soon be on "permanent display" at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart.
The P1 has a 3 horsepower motor capable of delivering a top speed of 21 miles per hour and a driving range of 49 miles, and, like many vehicles in Porsche's history, the motor is positioned at the rear of the vehicle. According to the press release posted below, the P1 finished first in a 24-mile electric vehicle race in Berlin in 1899, but it has been sitting since 1902.
Leno buys classic Porsche 356 Carrera 2, seeks out and finds perfect expert for help
Mon, 19 Aug 2013The world of collector cars is fairly tight-knit when you get down to individual models. Need proof? Just take a look at this latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. The subject is a gorgeous 1963 Porsche 356 Carrera 2. Jay, being known as quite a collector, got a call from someone looking to sell. While doing his due diligence and looking for a 356 expert to go over the car with him, he came across John Willhoit.
Where the story gets weird is when Leno is asked the license plate number - it turns out that Willhoit, owner of Willhoit Restorations, had restored the exact same car more than 30 years prior. He then sold it to the same person that was looking to give it to Leno. What follows is a truly interesting video on the little quirks of the 356, along with Willhoit's personal history on a car he hadn't seen since 1976.
This is a bit more mechanically detailed than Leno's normal videos, but it's on a very interesting subject. Take a look below for the entire film.
