Knowledgable Porsche buyers want 911SC’s because the are so simple, robust and inexpensive to maintain. There
aren’t any complex ECU’s, they are light and responsive making them feel like a sports car. I have applied for
a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity to verify the color names and options but what you see is a unbelievably well
maintained car in great colors. It has sport seats, “meat grinders” (crank windows) and a sunroof. The original
interior tells an accurate story on how well the car was cared for, there isn’t a crack in the dash or a tear in
the upholstery or excessive damage to the carpeting. The paint is incredible but i am guessing that it was
re-sprayed in the original color because its too good to be 38 years old. There is no evidence of overspray or
masking lines but I can’t see any signifiant flaws making me think that the past owner paid a lot for the
re-spray. This car drives as good as it looks with perfect steering, brakes and suspension. The engine doesn’t
smoke or leak and starts hot and cold instantly without smoke. There are no oil leaks, the transmission shift
effortlessly and exhaust is solid. It has updated chain tensioners and has well maintained characteristics all
over the place. This car must be seen to believe.
I bought the car because it is beautiful and unique. I am happy to keep it but if i an make a little money on it, I
will sell it. Ultimately, i am happy to keep the car. If you are interested, I can arrange a Pre-Purchase
Inspection or can hold the car for you to come and see and drive. Please feel free to ask me any questions. I can
get the car to a port and work with you to export the car. I have a good relationship with Schumacher Cargo
Logistics so I am happy to get the car shipped overseas. I can also assist in getting the car shipped domestically.
I bought this car from a local man with the intent to keep it but if I can sell and make some money to get an
earlier “long nose” 911, I will sell this car. Please please email me if you have any questions

1986 Porsche 959 Prototype at Barrett-Jackson sees gavel fall at $440,000 [UPDATE: w/video]
Sat, 19 Jan 2013Fans of Porsche in America have longed for the chance to buy a 959 ever since the German automaker produced and sold it (well, sold it everywhere but the United States...) in the 1980s. Well, they just had their chance. The car you see above is a Porsche 959 prototype built in 1986, and only one other running prototype still exists.
The 959 prototype can't be driven on public roads, as it carries no such certification. Somehow, we doubt that matters all that much to the new buyer - this one is probably going to be sitting in a collection. When the gavel finally fell, bidding had reached $400,000, plus a 10-percent buyer's fee.
Check out our high-res image gallery above to see this prototype up close, and scroll down below to watch a video of it crossing the auction block and for its official auction description.
Porsche Supercup racer dies in crash in Australia
Tue, 15 Oct 2013Even with great strides made towards increasing the safety of motor racing, fundamentally it's still a dangerous sport. And now it has claimed another life.
That life belonged to one Sean Edwards, an accomplished GT racing driver. Edwards was killed at Queensland Raceway in Australia, riding shotgun in a Porsche 996 GT3 while acting as instructor. The driver was airlifted to hospital with critical injuries. Sean Edwards was 26.
The son of former F1 driver Guy Edwards (whose car he drove in the filming of Rush), Sean won the European GT3 Championship in a Porsche 911 GT3 Cup and drove a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 to repeat victories at the 24 Hours of Dubai as well as this year's Nürburgring 24 Hours. Edwards had been competing in the Porsche Supercup, whose standings he currently leads with just two rounds to go, and could be crowned champion posthumously.
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.
