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.

Porsche kicks off Macan production at revamped Leipzig plant
Sun, 16 Feb 2014After over two years of construction and roughly 500 million euros ($684 million at current rates) invested, Porsche finally opened its Leipzig, Germany, factory expansion on February 11. The improvements to the plant are dedicated to building the Macan and include a new body shop, paint shop and assembly line that are advancing Porsche's goal to sell 50,000 Macan's per year. The company believes that the new model is going to push it to over 200,000 annual sales 3 years ahead of schedule, and the enlarged branch can support even more Macan production, if there is demand.
"We are totally convinced in the qualities of this location and that the Macan will be a marketing success," said Porsche Chairman Matthias Müller during the opening celebration. The company opened its Leipzig factory in 2002 to build the Cayenne and added Panamera production in 2009.
The Macan models are due to launch in the US this summer with prices starting at $49,900. Scroll down to learn all of the details about the Macan's Leipzig assembly plant.
2015 Porsche Panamera Exclusive Series is a seriously quick way to spend $260k
Wed, 19 Nov 2014Porsche is usually associated with being a sports car brand, but with vehicles like the Cayenne and Panamera it takes a step into the world of luxury against firmly established players like Mercedes-Benz. One way for the company to poke its head above the high-class fray is by taking things further, and in the case of the Panamera Exclusive Series at the Los Angeles Auto Show, it means pushing grandeur to extreme levels.
Coming in at an absolutely eye-watering $263,900, plus $995 destination, the Panamera Exclusive starts its life as the already sumptuous Panamera Turbo S Executive with a 4.8-liter, twin-turbo V8 making 570 horsepower on an extended wheelbase. To help justify the extra $63,000 for the Exclusive, though, the model gets 20-inch black Sport Classic wheels and an interior in swaddled in Nappa leather with dark walnut and piano black trim. Rear passengers also get 10.1-inch touchscreens mounted on the back of the front seats. A set of fitted Poltrana Frau leather luggage is included with each one, as well.
The luxurious sedan earns it Exclusive moniker because just 100 of them are being made worldwide. Scroll down to read about Porsche's ultimate limousine.
Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:
