This is some what of a special 1985 porsche carrera cabriolet. It was first sold in 1991 with 17k on the clock.It was a porsche executive car and may have been a special wishes car? It came with 8 way power heated seats, color matched 15 inch fuchs, cruise control, ac, manual convertable top.It was owned by the same person since 1991 until now. The previous owner was a fanatic when it came to maintenance, and changed the oil every 3000 miles!!! I have 22 years of records and it is also on a spread sheet!.He also kept track of every fill up and mileage! It was sold new here in the bay area, california, never been in an accident,no rust! I recently performed a major svc and resealed alot oil leaks.During the valve adjustment I checked the valve guide play and it was very slight and the cams and rockers look new.It has 221k original miles but you would never know it. It runs extremely well, very quiet, no cam chain noise, pulls with plenty of power, no smoke, passes california smog easily! I also changed the cam lines,oil preesure switch, t stat o ring, updated 2 wire head temp sensor, engine out service,presure washed everything,very clean dry engine and trans. Transmission was rebuilt a few years ago, swepco 201 fluid, no grinds, 1st and 2nd syncros are great.Turbo tie rods pretty much the only mod on the car.Now the paint clearcoat is peeling on the hood and fenders,dash is cracked,tach intermittent, clock inop, mirrors inop, ac needs a charge, rear window is foggy and has small cracks.(this zips out so should be an easy fix) Cab top was replaced and is in good shape, goes up and down smoothly. This is a great opportunity to get into a classic carrera cab at a good price, it is mechanically excellent and would not hesitate driving it cross country! Give it a paint job and some cosmetics and you will have a very enjoyable car with many more fun miles! I have been a porsche tech and shop owner for 20 years and this 3.2 runs as good as any I have ever worked on.It comes with all records, books, tools, air compressor,clear california title ready to transfer.Please have good feedback and be a seriuos buyer, I reserve the right to end auction at any time due to it being for sale locally.

Xcar considers the Porsche 911 GT3's PDK
Fri, May 29 2015Porsche ruffled some feathers when it unveiled the latest 911 GT3 a couple of years ago with a dual-clutch transmission instead of an old-school manual. The rationale was (and remains) that the PDK makes the enthusiast's Elfen faster than it would be with a stick. The purists scoffed, but Zuffenhausen held firm – and even did the same with the even more hardcore GT3 RS. In its latest video, the boys at Xcar set out to find out if the GT3 with its fancy automated gearbox is as good as the previous model (or as good as the current model could be) with a manual – and took in some of the track toy's other trickery while they were at it. Check out the video above to find out what conclusion they reached.
Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'
Mon, 27 Oct 2014The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
2020 Porsche 911 Speedster spied with an angry driver
Wed, Feb 13 2019Porsche gave us details and showed us a concept of the 911 Speedster at the Paris Motor Show. Today, we bring you spy shots of what appears to be the production version of that concept with a few changes on board. They're rather minimal modifications, but the Speedster's driver appears especially angry with our spy photographer as he extends his middle finger directly toward the camera. Sorry, not sorry, Mr. Test Driver. Public testing of pre-production cars always comes with photo risks, and Porsches tend to attract more attention than others. You'll notice what appears to be a Cayenne Coupe prototype we've previously spotted running around with the 911. The Speedster Concept we saw in Paris had epic retro mirrors and fuel cap on the front hood, but both those design touches are absent from this pre-production car. It's tougher to see, but we lost the vents in between the two humps, as well. Everything else appears to have made it to production-spec. We can't say we're surprised these concept car features probably won't show up on the production car, but it is a tad deflating. You'll notice the Speedster is based-off the 991.2 generation of 911 and not the new 992. Porsche did a similar thing when the 997 generation was coming to an end with a Speedster model paying tribute to that car's life. The chassis is said to utilize parts from the 911 GT3, and the wonderful naturally aspirated flat-six engine gets carried over from that car, too. Porsche didn't specify if power will be exactly the same as the GT3, but we'll be expecting about 500 horsepower and a 9,000 rpm redline. We were told the six-speed manual would be offered on the Speedster in Paris, too. Let's just say that we strongly approve of that combination. Production will be limited to only 1,948 cars and begin in the first half of this year. We'll expect a reveal with a full spec breakdown soon, possibly for the upcoming Geneva Motor Show.
