1978 Porsche 911 on 2040-cars
Santa Rosa, California, United States
I am selling my very rare 1978 Porsche 911 SC Targa, all original, low miles, (82k) unrestored and impeccably
maintained throughout its life. This is a one-of-a-kind car. When ordering the Porsche Certificate of
Authenticity,
Everything works-- from the clock to the up/down antenna. I have the maintenance records from both owners as well
as the 1978 bill of sale. You can even speak with the specialist who performed the maintenance over the years.
Included in this sale are an original Porsche bra (I have never used), the complete original Porsche tool kit, two
car covers (indoors and outdoors), and the original cassette holders that fit into the console. This car is all
original. I never even installed a right side mirror. The only change I made was to install a radio that fits
into the same space as the original. I kept the original cassette deck radio which you can reinstall so it feels
like 1978 all over again.
Original paint and original blue leather interior. The leather doors,
dash and package tray are all excellent. Driver seat shows some normal wear. The folding Targa top was
reupholstered as original when I purchased it 20 years ago. The top folds and fits inside the trunk, which is also
in impeccable condition. There are two small scratches in the front hood and three small scratches on the rear
deck lid. I did not have these repainted (just touched up) just due to my desire to keep the original paint.
She's fully-loaded, too. Here are the options that were purchased when Porsche built this one-of-a-kind beauty:
air conditioning, power windows, limited slip differential, headlight washers, premium Radio Bamburg, black trim
instead of chrome, engine compartment light, chrome parts in matte- finished black, headlight rings exterior color,
fog/driving lights.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:

McQueen's Porsche 917 from Le Mans races to the auction block
Mon, 23 Jun 2014Steve McQueen may have been the headline actor of the motorsport cult classic film Le Mans, but we all know who the real star was. Or rather, what: the Porsche 917. More specifically, it was the Gulf-liveried #22 - not McQueen's #21 - that won the race, making it one of the most iconic cars ever to drive across the silver screen. And now it's going up for auction.
This 1969 Porsche 917K, chassis 917-024, has a storied history both on and off the screen, even if it didn't win any (off-screen) races of note. This example was the first 917 to be campaigned in an actual race when Porsche handed it to Jo Siffert to drive against the Ferrari 312P and Ford GT40 at the Spa-Francorchamps 1000 Km race in 1969. Siffert found the early example too unstable and ultimately drove an earlier 908 to the checkered flag, but after 917-024 set the fastest time at the following year's Le Mans test day, Siffert acquired it outright.
The Swiss racing driver loaned the car to Solar Productions for use in the film, after which it returned to Siffert's collection until he was killed in an F1 exposition race at Brands Hatch in 1971. In a testament to how much he loved the car, it was 917-024 that lead the funeral procession. The car subsequently fell off the radar until it resurfaced in 2001 as one of the greatest barn finds of the new millennium. Now fully restored and resplendent in its original baby blue and orange, 917-024 is headed to the auction block at Pebble Beach where you can be sure that Gooding & Company will bring in a suitably high price for arguably the most iconic example of one of the most iconic Porsches of all time.
