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. THIS IS A TRUE NO RESERVE AUCTION!! Bid to win and ask questions! Check my feedback I take it very serious,will help with loading onto shipper or I encourage flying out and driving home!! good luck!

Petrolicious profiles the rare Italian Porschephile
Wed, Sep 9 2015If you're Italian, you love Ferrari. It's almost a national requirement. If not Ferrari, then Lamborghini, or if you're a bit contrarian, perhaps Alfa Romeo or Maserati. This common belief, though, flies in the face of Rosita Corato's devotion to a certain unique Porsche. Despite growing up around cars from Italy's most treasured automakers, Rosita's family of coachbuilders had a passion for Porsche. This love was fostered by her father, who made a living repairing Ferraris. Despite his work, he'd longed for a rear-engined German, finally picking up a 1959 356 Speedster that was in desperate need of restoration. Rosita describes it as "practically a heap of metal" before her masterful metalworking father got to work on it. While it was originally meant to be a racer, it could best be described today as a restomod, and Rosita still uses it regularly on rallies. The engine and brakes have been upgraded, while the ratios on the manual transmission have been tightened up for improved performance. To save weight – remember, Rosita's father wanted a racer – the doors and hood were replaced with aluminum units, while other aesthetic upgrades were made as well, such as moving the fuel access up onto the hood. Check out Rosita's gorgeous 356 Speedster in the very latest episode from the team at Petrolicious. Related Video:
Porsche Cayman GT4 spot has us reaching for our driving gloves
Wed, Feb 4 2015We've got to hand it to Porsche for finally unleashing the potential of the Cayman, and not worrying about it infringing on 911 territory. The latest Cayman is, by all accounts, a superb sports car in its own right, gets even better as the Cayman S and that much more so in GTS spec. But the new Cayman GT4 takes things to a whole other level with a 3.8-liter flat six driving 385 horsepower to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual. Old school is what it is, and certifiably off the leash. We brought you the full skinny on the new GT4 late last night when it surfaced, but now Porsche has released a video clip highlighting what makes its new pocket rocket look so great. It's got Nurburgring graffiti, intimidated neighbors, barking fluffy dogs, gape-jawed children, and of course footage of the Cayman GT4 itself doing what it was designed to do. All we need now is to get our driving gloves on its Alcantara steering wheel and ball-shaped shifter.
Can a Corvette really be compared to a 911 with options costing more than the Chevy?
Wed, 29 Jan 2014In this latest video from Drive, Chris Harris asks straight away, "Can you still compare a base Corvette to a Porsche Carerra?" That's an particularly interesting question in this film, as the 911 in question is a 400-horsepower Carrera S model that's been fitted with $60,000 in options. Base price of a Corvette Stingray? $51,995. Harris' tester features an automatic and some other goodies that push it right up to that $60,000 range. So yes, the options on the Porsche cost as much as this entire 460-hp Chevrolet.
Harris stresses that this isn't a full review, but he does exercise both cars in a more composed manner before reverting to his traditionally exuberant driving style. The impressions are, as always, spot on, with Harris favoring the pointy nature and V8 power of the Stingray, while enjoying the gearbox (Porsche's exceptional PDK transmission) and just about everything else on the 911.
Take a look below for the latest video from Drive, and let us know if you agree with Mr. Harris' views on these two sports cars.
