1986 Porsche 911 Factory Wide Body Cabriolet, Code M470. The Factory M470 option is a ''Turbo Look'' body but deletes the front and rear spoilers. Only 36 cabriolets were built in 1986 with the Factory M470 making it one of the rarest versions of the Carrera built and it produced a roadster look that set the stage for the 1989 Speedster.

 28,548 mile example offered here is presented in Grand Prix White over two tone red interior, black convertible top and color keyed Fuchs.

 It was delivered new in the great state of Massachusetts optioned with Turbo Look, Spoiler Delete, Tonneau Cover, Heated Seats, Blaupunkt Radio, Central Locking System, Full Power Seat, Cruise Control, Alarm System, US Standard Emissions, Power Top, and Dunlop Tires. Circa 1989, the car was sold to an enthusiast in Tennessee where it remained for next 11 years then to California where it has remained until our recent acquisition. The car sits in excellent running and driving condition and is powered by its original 3.2 liter engine.

I have receipts from 2013 for $1,684.83 with most notable things being all new wheel bearings and shift linkage adjusted and repaired for proper shifting. This is all the records I have. What you see is what you get. I don't know anything else about the car and why the color change was done.

COA on hand showing numbers matching and factory colors. Clean and free title in hand. Clean CarFax!

This Porsche has had a color change some 15 years ago for the taste of the owner at that time from the original Crystal Green metallic over blue leather. This car has not been serviced in years and should be gone through top to bottom. Car does run and drive good with no smoke. AC does not work. This is being sold as a project car to bring back to life. 

This car is sold AS-IS where is. I am a licensed and bonded dealer in the state of Michigan. $199 Doc fee will be added to cost of the car.

Audi welcomes Porsche back to Le Mans like any sibling would

Fri, 06 Jun 2014

Ah, sibling rivalry. It really is a beautiful thing. It's even more beautiful when said siblings are automakers with very, very well-known racing histories. That's how you get videos like this, which is Audi's way of welcoming Porsche back to the top flight of Le Mans racing.
Yes, Audi has taken its R18 E-Tron Quattro back onto public roads, wowing schoolboys and scaring farmers (who appear to be riding classic Porsche tractors), as it travels from Ingolstadt to Zuffenhausen, just to taunt its corporate frenemy.
Take a look below for a video to see just what that teasing looks like.

Porsche Cayman GTS in track battle with 996 GT3

Wed, 09 Jul 2014

Here's your tough question of the day: Would you rather drive a new Porsche Cayman GTS or a slightly older, 996-era Porsche 911 GT3? Certainly, both cars have their plusses. The Cayman is the more modern proposition, sure, but the GT3 is, well, a GT3. So yes, it's a tough decision.
If you're one of the lucky souls that have to make that choice, then this video from Evo should prove pretty helpful. It's a track battle, starring Jethro Bovingdon with a new GTS and an old GT3.
Calling the GTS "fantastically agile" and "fast, but it's also hilariously good fun," Bovingdon bangs home a solid lap time of 1:05.2 before switching to the GT3. It's remarkable to see just how dated the 996-generation 911 looks after viewing the newer Porsche, and from where we sit, it's further proof that the old car's headlights are something that's best forgotten. Styling qualms aside, though, can the GT3 keep up with its racy younger cousin?

'Faster. Farther.' dives into the history of Porsche racing tech

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

No doubt, Porsche has produced some of the best endurance racecars around, such as the turbocharged, slant-nose 935 of the 1970s and the ground-effects-enhanced 956 and 962 of the 1980s. But the company's most famous racecar, its first overall winner at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, was the 917.
The 917 embodied many of Porsche's technological achievements up to that point, such as the company's first 12- and 16-cylinder engines (the flat-16 was never used in competition), fiberglass bodies that implemented early aerodynamic practices and the use of new, exotic materials, such as magnesium and titanium.
The racecar was commissioned by the head of Porsche Motorsports, Ferdinand Piëch, to win overall at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970, after he realized a loophole in the rules that allowed cars to compete with engines up to five liters in the Sport category if they were also production models. Piëch saw opportunity: the top prototype class was restricted to three liters; the production minimum to compete in Sport was 25 cars. And so, with much effort, Porsche assembled 25 "production" 4.5-liter 917s and had them parked in a neat line for the race inspectors to verify their legitimacy. It didn't take long before people realized the new Porsches were much faster than the prototype racers, with a top speed approaching 250 miles per hour.
