1984 Porsche 911 on 2040-cars
Flanagan, Illinois, United States
1984 Carrera 3.2L Flachbau w/ RUF Package
This car is extremely well done
- inside and out with all OEM parts throughout. All seals and trim are in excellent condition still. Tread on the
tires have about 90% left in them. Speedline RUF wheels. Everything on this car works as it should. It has a very
cool pop up headlight setup (see video). G50 transmission with the 3.2L. This car has an extremely well done
valve job. I've owned quite a few air cooled 911s over the years but this one is by far the fastest one.
Extremely fast with an incredible sound! Gets attention everywhere it goes. A real joy to drive. You can not beat
the air cooled Porsche - it is still the most enjoyable driving experience out there by far.
Now here is unfortunately and downside to the car: Even though it is strictly cosmetic, the car was keyed 2 yrs
ago by some low life who had nothing better to do with his time then do this to the car. the pics you see were
taken today and the key marks are not too noticeable but the car has not been repainted since the incident. you
really don't see it until you look for it on the car but it is still noticeable. there are also two bubbles on the
paint on one side of the rear bear claw vent ( very common along the bear claw vents), there is another bubble on
the drivers side front quarter next to the pop light. the intent was to repaint the car after it had been keyed
but I never got around to it and have kept it on the road. Outside of this there is no rust on the car elsewhere.
It does need repainting though. Please look at the high resolution pics closely and you can see what I'm
referring to. there is also some road rash on the lower fairing from highway driving,
So all in all, this is an excellent machine that has always been well maintained and stored in a heated garage. I
have a lot of the service history of the car rom the pevious owner and as well as my past maintenance and will
provide to the future buyer.

Porsche Cayenne, Panamera production halted by flooding
Thu, 06 Jun 2013If you recently ordered a Porsche Cayenne or a Panamera, delivery may take a little longer than originally expected. Automotive News reports that production of both models has been temporarily halted at the Porsche assembly plant in Leipzig, Germany as the result of supply shortages caused by flooding in the nearby Czech Republic. The reason for the stoppage is that the body of the Cayenne - currently Porsche's best-selling model - is produced at a Volkswagen plant in the Czech city of Bratislava and shipped by train to Leipzig.
The report does not indicate why Panamera production has been stopped - that the five-door's body is made at a separate location in Hanover, Germany. However pre-assembly will continue on these models. At full capacity, the Leipzig plant can produce about 450 vehicles per day, and it isn't clear how long this weather-related stoppage will last.
Leno steals Porsche 918 from The Quail for latest Garage episode
Sat, 31 Aug 2013Just because he's a famous celebrity doesn't mean Jay Leno got to take it easy at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance earlier this month. Having already spent some time with the gorgeous Cadillac Elmiraj Concept and Ed Welburn for a recent episode of Jay Leno's Garage, the late night talk show host also got to put a few miles on a prototype version of the Porsche 918 Spyder.
Like a usual episode of JLG, Leno first goes over the details of the car with Frank Walliser, head of the 918 Spyder's development, before taking it out for spin. Check out the full episode, which is posted below, to hear what Walliser has to say about the car. More importantly, though, crank up your computer's volume and let the car's high-revving engine and amazing exhaust note do plenty of talking for itself.
eBay Find of the Day: 1981 Porsche 928 convertible by Carelli
Wed, 30 Apr 2014The Porsche 928 was perhaps the consummate European GT of its day. With a powerful front-mounted V8 engine that grew in displacement as the model years went on, it was capable of eating up the miles at triple-digit speeds in great comfort for occupants. It was also an unusual beauty, with its sharp front and curved rear featuring innovative integrated bumpers.
Currently for auction on eBay Motors is one of the rarest 928s you're likely to find, in a handsome combination of Guards Red paint and tan leather interior, though we wouldn't mind a less-showy finish to the factory wheels. According to the seller, this car is one of eight 928 convertibles by Carelli Design, a firm that's still in business.
The auction claims that these cars were made in 1981 as a feasibility study between Carelli and Porsche for a possible production 928 convertible. The seller says he worked at the dealership where the car is said to have been originally sold $103,000. To remove the roof and hide the convertible top, there were significant changes made to the body and interior, including redesigned doors and a completely new trunk. As you can see in the gallery, when down, the top is completely hidden in a very factory-like fashion. When up, it looks slightly awkward, though (and we'd really like to see a rear three-quarter view to check out the blind spots).
