This 1988 Porsche is a great driver. The color is (Felsen Gruen) which translates to Granite Green. This is a rare color that was only used a few years. Depending on the light, it looks green or grey. Purchased in 2006 with 166,498 miles out of Maryland. The body is rust free and straight, but has a few chips and a door ding or two befitting the mileage. The air conditioning blows cold air. The 3.2 Liter engine was completely rebuilt over the winter of 2007-08 and back in the car June 8, 2008. The engine was disassembled and reassembled at a local used car dealer, with the heads being sent out to EBS racing in Reno for a total rebuild. All new bearings, cam chains and basically every nut and bolt was replaced and new rings fitted, alternator replaced, all belts,etc. Mileage at rebuild 167,744. Current mileage 175,090. Tires and brakes only have a few thousand miles on them and battery replaced last year. This car is ready to drive, and all kinds of fun. Car has been stored winters, never seen snow or salt has been stored from early October to late April each year which is one part of why I am selling. I just have not used it much. I have a bag of receipts both from previous owners and myself that will go with this car. I will work with the buyer to assist getting the car to a shipper. This is a no-reserve auction so somebody will drive this car away at the end of the auction.
NOTE:
Convertible top is currently a manual lift top. The locking motors work perfectly, but the cables that raise and lower the top have not been reliable so I am selling it as a manual top. Driver's seat has a small tear on a stitch line, otherwise very good. Selling cheap so you can drive it as is or make it concours.

2015 Porsche Cayman GTS
Thu, 29 May 2014The Porsche Boxster and Cayman will forever nip at the heels of their big brother, the 911 Carrera, and perpetuating this tradition are the latest GTS variants, which add yet another arrow to the quiver of the plucky mid-engined platform.
The GTS' performance enhancements boost horsepower by a mere 15 and shave a tenth from 0 to 60, but Porsche's clever product planners and engineers have stuck to their familiar formula in making the Cayman GTS more desirable than the Boxster for dyed-in-the-wool performance enthusiasts. More on that shortly.
Laps around Spain's Circuito Mallorca RennArena and the nearby Serra de Tramuntana mountain range would shed further light on how the GTS differentiates itself from lesser Caymans.
Remembering Porsche's illustrious Le Mans history
Fri, 13 Jun 2014Not only does this weekend mark the running of the 82nd 24 Hours of Le Mans, it will also see the return of one of the race's most venerable brands to the top tiers of endurance racing. Porsche will campaign its first top-flight car since the 1998 911 GT1-98, the 919 Hybrid, at this weekend's race, in the hopes of knocking off its corporate rival, the dominant Audi team.
To understand just what a win for the 919 would mean, though, you need to look back on the intrinsic connection between the Circuit de la Sarthe and Porsche. It's a history that spans decades, dating back to the team's first win in 1970.
XCar has a great video on that history. At 25 minutes, it's a bit on the long side. Then again it is the Friday before Le Mans. Take a look below for the video.
Watch Carrera Cup driver Connor de Phillippi's first lap of the N"urburgring
Thu, 23 May 2013American race driver Connor de Phillippi was recently added to the roster of Porsche Juniors, the arm of Porsche's factory racing program that develops new talent. The 20-year-old is contesting the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland series with FÖRCH Racing by Lukas Motorsport, and last weekend, he raced the series round at the Nürburgring. Starting 15th on the grid, de Phillippi would cross the line in ninth out of 32 finishers.
Courtesy of his in-car camera, you can watch his entire first lap in the video below - there's no music added, just engine whine during nine minutes of crests, turns, bumpy straights and that wicked Carousel. Enjoy.
