Up for sale is my 1983 SC Targa 3.6 Varioram conversion. Regulars to the Pelican site may recognize this as the "Moses Targa", which has many threads dedicated to its high-quality, no expense spared build. I am the third owner of this car, purchased in 2010 after considering a conversion on my own 911SC Coupe (do the math, it's seriously expensive!). I've enjoyed this car immensely during my ownership, and have taken it on many long distance rallies, including the Northeast Mountain Melee in 2013 -- 1300 miles in 3 days, the car ran flawlessly. I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere -- arguably one of the most sorted, well done 3.6 conversion cars out there. The car is happy in traffic, around town or on weekend coffee run blasts to the middle of nowhere. The engine pulls strong in all gears and sounds absolutely incredible. No rust or accidents. Excercised regularly on the weekends, always garaged, Covered and obsessed over. Just an awesome car. Certainly not concours, but excellent driver and priced accordingly.

103K on the chassis, approximately 65K on the engine (not sure of true mileage).

I've done my best to summarize everything below:

Exterior:
Beautiful Factory Zinn Metallic (code 956). The car was treated to a high quality, windows out repaint prior to my ownership. 
Usual stone chips on the hood and front bumper, a few scratches on the body which the pictures will show. Overall, I'd rate the paint a 8 of 10, it looks fantastic. The rear fender was damaged by the PO's fence and was properly repaired shortly after I received it.
GT Racing Front and rear IROC-style bumpers. The front bumper was replaced in 2012 after being backed into by a careless driver when parked.
Factory Carrera Wing
Bosch Euro H4 conversion with Sucro relay kit
993 aero mirrors

Interior:
Cobra Misano seats -- Nappa leather with carbon fiber shelled backs. Fully adjustable and tilt for access to rear seating area.
Schroth 4 point harnesses -- still retains factory seat belts and receptacles for everyday driving (labels are expired, I've never used the belts)
TRE Targa harness bar.
Momo Prototipo steering wheel
Pioneer stereo with removable faceplate -- honestly, I've never used it!
MB Quart speakers
Rennline pedals and dead pedal
All gauges work properly including the clock -- note it has a 930 tachometer, but no turbo 
Rear seat backs currently not installed but will come with the car
Wevo Classic Shifter

Engine/trans:
1997 3.6-liter from C4S (installed in 2005 with 45K miles). Engine has approximately 65K, but not certain of actual mileage. Engine uses about 1 quart every 1000 miles of spirited driving. No smoking or major leaks.
Patrick motorsports conversion kit with lightweight flywheel
Sachs power clutch
B&B polished stainless headers with heat -- sounds incredible!!!
High performance cats - car came from California (I cannot guarantee it will pass emissions testing)
Custom Dynomax stainless muffer with dual outlets
Cytex chip
Carbon Fiber RS heater Tube
B&B front oil cooler -- car runs 180 degrees all day long
Elephant Carrera fender cooler with fan
Elephant oil lines
K&N air filer
New rear axle assemblies in 2013
915 trans with open differential and stock gearing -- shifts great

Wheels and tires:

Recent Dunlop Direzza Z1 (215F, 255R)

Suspension:
Smart adjustable 23mm front swaybar: Carrera G50 style rear bar

25mm 930 master cylinder
Brake fluid flushed in 2013

Minor issues -- don't they all need something?:
Some scratches and stone chips on the hood.
Minor bubbling of the paint on the rear bumper, caused by exhaust heat.  
Bezel for the fresh air blower is cracked, I have a replacement with cables that will come with the car.  
Targa top is showing its age, I typically enjoy the car without it. Top does not leak, but needs a rebuild -- this is factored into my asking price.
Two small stress cracks in deckled grille - these were on the car when I purchased it, didn't really bother me.
No radio antenna -- I haven't used the radio once.
  Engine leaves a dime sized drop of oil after a drive, nothing more, nothing less.

Car will comes with many extra parts and a custom car cover.

I'm happy to answer any questions. Please contact me via email or PM.

Porsche's Tesla-fighter could have 600 hp and 300-mile range

Sun, Feb 22 2015

Will this be the Ragin' Pajun? Some details on the all-electric "Tesla fighter" from Porsche have been revealed by UK's Car magazine, and, to put it bluntly, the model that has preliminarily been dubbed the 717 will be an absolute beast when it hits the road as early as 2019. With some technological help from parent company Volkswagen, Porsche is planning a model that will have about a 300-mile single-charge range, and a version that may deliver as much as 600 horsepower. The four-door will also be four-wheel-drive, with one electric motor per axle, and four-wheel steering, all for the sake of consistency, Car says. Additionally, unlike the Tesla Model S, with its battery packs running flat along the floor of the vehicle, the 717's battery layout will be far more complex, complete with bulkhead walls and 108 separate battery pouches. Last month, German publication Auto Motor und Sport reported that the Panamera's junior variant, aka the Pajun, was indeed going to be an all-electric affair. Still, beyond a few digital renderings and an estimated single-charge range of 250 miles, few details were revealed.

2015 Porsche Cayenne S

Tue, 23 Sep 2014

Oh, Porsche.
Just as the dust settles over the 911 GT3's no manual gearbox kerfuffle, the Germans have gone and yanked the yummy naturally aspirated 4.8-liter V8 from the Cayenne S and replaced it with a twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6. Is nothing sacred in Porscheland?
Perhaps not... but that's not necessarily a bad thing. After all, Porsche famously once said they'd never build a diesel, but when they did, it was actually rather stellar.

Touring Italy in a classic Porsche will have you feeling continental

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

It's hard to believe there was a time when a Porsche 911 didn't come to market with 400 horsepower. But as the latest video from Petrolicious reminds us, with this video of a 1968 911T, owned by Donato Maniscalco, that time wasn't so long ago.
You might think, being a distinguished man living in Italy, Maniscalco would be more enthused by a Ferrari, Maserati, or Lamborghini, but in reality, it was always Porsche that enamored the Italian as a boy. And it was that passion that led him to purchase the glorious 911T he's seen tossing about in this video.
Maniscalco goes into detail about what makes the old 911 such a legend, while also mentioning how he and the car participate in classic rallies and races. There's also some typically beautiful footage of the Italian countryside, as well. So take a look below for the latest video from Petrolicious.
