This 911SC is totally awesome! This is the “poor man’s” early 930. Original color, all matching numbers!

Mocha brown with cork sport seat interior with tartan dress inlays!

Here are the stats:

· Factory lightweight: no sunroof, only 1 rear view mirror, no A/C, manual (Sport) Seats, limited slip
differential, small battery, smaller & wider wheels/tires, Bilstein Suspension, no fog-lights, spoilers…

· Absolutely gorgeous mocha-brown (mocha-black – called one or the other in sales documentation, color
chart and certificate of authenticity, but mocha-brown and mocha-black were the identical colors with the same
paint code, just two names for the same color depending on brochure, country and documentation) with cork sport
seat interior with tartan dress inserts

· Original per Certificate of Authenticity

· Refreshed/resealed original, matching number 3.0 liter engine (930/04).

You are buying a very original, custom ordered, light weight 1978 911SC. This car was ordered as a lightweight, it
only has one (driver’s side) rear view mirror, no sunroof, no air conditioning, no fog-lights, manual sport
seats, limited slip differential, Bilstein shocks/ suspension, limited slip differential, short 15” wider wheels
and tires (7 & 8 x 15 instead of 6 & 7 x 16 with 205-50-15 & 225-50-15 tires instead of the regular taller wheels
for faster acceleration.) Further, the car has a short shifter installed. This car drives like a go-cart!

The car just underwent a major refresh. It was all original, has never been in any accident, as you can see by its
condition such as the interior it has lived a very gentle life. The front bumper, hood and the single driver’s
side mirror had a lot of stone-chips. Further, somebody had put body side moldings along each side in the middle of
the doors that looked ridiculous – it kept the doors dent-free. When we removed the non-original door moldings,
some of the paint lifted with them, we decided to repaint some of the car. Further, the car had the not so nice
factory all rubber whale-tail (it will come with the car), and we decided to treat this car with a reproduction
early 930/911SC-Weissach deck-lid with a factory rubber lip. The roof of the car, as well as the rear bumper and
valance are original paint. We decided to carefully sand down the rest of the car and refinish it in its original
and ultra-rare mocha brown/mocha black color and the car looks stunning! The paint meter shows that the car is
almost the same thickness as a new car, some areas slightly thicker. As you can see, the car has been updated with
European H4 headlights and European tail-light lenses, all in excellent shape.

The car was running very well, but when we wanted to give it a tune-up and valve adjustment we found two broken
lower Dilavar head-studs. As a result, we disassembled the engine (930/04 - early large port 3.0 US version),
replaced all Dilavar head-studs with updated steel ones, put in new rings – this car features Mahle pistons and
cylinders which are in outstanding condition, the guides in the cylinder heads were like brand new and had been
replaced many years, but less than 10,000 miles ago, so we put in new Wrightwood Racing valve stem seals and left
the guides alone. Further, the clutch has been updated with the all spring sport type without the problematic
rubber center; pressure fed chain tensioners were installed, a pop-off valve was installed, plus all regular
maintenance items such as new injector seals, intake runner bellows, new thermostat and breather seals, new spark
plugs, original new spark plug wires, cap, rotor, new air/heater hoses etc. Of course the valves are freshly
adjusted. The car features its original small 228mm (906 and 78/79 only 911SC) fan and fan housing – the original
housing one had a crack (very common from previous, incorrect alternator service/replacement) and we sourced an
excellent original replacement; the fan blades are perfect without any chips. We use silicon valve cover and sump
gaskets. As the photos show the original exhaust is in excellent condition. We also checked the gas-tank, it is in
excellent, original condition with no internal corrosion what-so-ever, as is commonly found these days as a result
of the ethanol containing fuels.

The power robbing pollution air pump had been nicely removed, and it comes with the car complete with the air
injectors, manifold, bracket and pulley if you ever want to make the car 100% original.

All windows are nice, clear and free of scratches or chips, the headliner is in stunning condition without any
tears or discoloration, even the dash and sun-visors are excellent, so is the plaid/cork interior, and cork
interiors with plaid dress inserts per certificate of authenticity are ultra-rare and are very, very 70s and
gorgeous! This car even features its original radio (with the operation manual in the glove-box), and amazingly
features the original door speakers with the ultra-hard to find original door speaker covers in outstanding
condition. It is almost impossible to find a 38 year old car this original and well maintained. Even the tool-kit
and original emergency air compressor are still there as shown; even the original bag that used to contain a pair
of gloves for a tire change and or course the owner and maintenance manual are there complete in their original
pouch.

We even found a fresh set of tires for the car, almost impossible to find in this original 205-50-VR15 & 225-50VR15
size and configuration, especially the rear tires. Also, the brakes are freshly serviced with new front rotors and
pads.

To keep the engine running cool, the car is equipped with a Terbatrol front oil cooler system (in the right front
fender), these were extremely efficient with much better heat dissipation than the original loop coolers or the
multi-tube coolers had. Also, a nice, small hole was cut into the front valance panel to channel more cooling air
into the oil-cooler, a desirable update. Even the original, factory, super loud red fanfare trumpet horns are still
functioning and in the car.

This car is an excellent investment opportunity and can be enjoyed, it is an excellent driver.

Porsche CEO Matthias Mueller throws hat back in ring for VW CEO job

Tue, Mar 24 2015

Toward the end of February it got leaked that Porsche CEO Matthias Muller was being promoted to Volkswagen's supervisory board. Muller's credentials and his success over 36 years at the VW Group have, for observers, put his name in the pool of potential candidates to succeed current group CEO Martin Winterkorn when Winterkorn retires in two years. But the 61-year-old Muller told German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung earlier in February, "It's no solution to put a 63-year-old at the head of Volkswagen," and the statement was taken to mean he wasn't considering the job. Muller now says the quote was misunderstood. In a report in Automotive News, the newly minted board member says he was commenting on what it would mean for the supervisory board and the Group if they nominated a 63-year-old to replace a 69-year-old - that it wouldn't result in a "generation change." However, if that's what they choose to do, Muller feels great: "I stand ready to take over any assignment," he said. Muller's name re-enters the candidacy pool, but we still have no idea who leads the running for the role and Winterkorn isn't saying a word. It could be three years before we know: Winterkorn's contract concludes at the end of next year but there is speculation he'll re-up for two years to see out the end of the Strategy 2018 initiative.

Porsche Exclusive showcases custom-order 911 Turbo Cabrio

Sun, 06 Apr 2014

Porsche is one of the most profitable automakers in the business. In fact, it's said to make about $23,000 on each car it sells, thanks in no small part to an options list that can send the sticker price accelerating quicker than one of its own sports cars. But there are always those for whom even the extensive option list won't be enough, and for just such customers, there is Porsche Exclusive.
The division in Zuffenhausen is tasked with creating even more individualized examples of Porsche vehicles, and it recently did up this 911 Turbo Cabriolet - which, at $160,700, is already one of the most expensive Porsches you can order this side of a 918 Spyder: more than any Boxster, Cayman, Macan or Cayenne, any Panamera other than a Turbo S or Executive - not to mention any other 911 short of a Turbo S.
This particular demo vehicle features a Slate Grey paint job and red interior decked out in more leather than an S&M dungeon - which, come to think of it, would probably be less financially painful than ordering up this car from Porsche Exclusive.

VW Group plan puts Porsche in charge of a 'super-premium' division

Tue, Sep 11 2018

An Automobile report looks into what's happening on the organizational and technical sides of the Volkswagen Group, and what those changes could mean for the premium brands. The wide-angle view is that Porsche appears to have been anointed to "coordinate the future activities" at Audi, Bentley, Bugatti and Lamborghini. Audi would cede Lamborghini guardianship to Stuttgart, and Ducati — via a new concern called Ducati Enterprises — would become the shepherd for VW's other Italian investments. Executives target Jan. 1, 2019, to complete the reshuffle. VW wants to save a boodle by tying up four of its five top-tier brands, and putting the one with the highest ROI in charge. Porsche, within its own house, wants to reduce expenditures by $2.3 billion per year over for four years, the savings already earmarked for improving internal processes like R&D and production. Having Porsche share those gains as well as lead development of platforms, components and future-tech strategies for the sister sports car brands could benefit everyone. In the near-term, the brands have their own plans: Bugatti CEO Stephan Winkelmann is said to want a Chiron Superleggera, a roofless and "completely reskinned" Chiron Aperta, and a track-only Chiron SS. The Superleggera could take the Chiron Sport's and Divo's Jenny Craig routines even further. The Aperta seems a natural successor to the Veyron Grand Sport, a natural evolution of the recently introduced Sky View roof, and a reskin might include numerous Divo cues. It's also said Bugatti's considering "an all-electric high-end model" in conjunction with Porsche, Rimac, and Dallara, but name one supercar or hypercar manufacturer that isn't considering a lightning-fast EV. Lamborghini, deep into work on follow-ups for the Huracan and Aventador, might get a bit of a bump with the new plan. The carbon "monofuselage" for the next V12 flagship is said to be too far developed and too complex to scrap. It puts two electric motors on the front axle, batteries in the middle, and a naturally aspirated V12 with around 770 horsepower plus another e-motor with 402 horsepower in back. The Huracan is said to get a version of the same carbon architecture at the moment, but the corporate reorganization might press pause on it. Automobile says options include continuing the Huracan/ Audi R8 twinning, but that depends on Audi saying "Ja" to a third-gen R8 with Lamborghini bones.
