1988 Porsche 911 Carrara Coupe. All numbers match, engine, trans, body panels (all vin number tags are in place on body panels) etc and everything is in order. he car is in exceptional original unmolested condition with very low milage of 90,673 considering it's age. I adore this Carrara and am reluctantly selling the car. Factory options included Power Sunroof, Power Leather Seats, Cruise Control, 16 inch Fuchs wheels. I obtained the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) from Porsche which will be included.
Exterior:
All panels are razor straight. Paint is vibrant and very glossy. Appears to be all original and I see no evidence of resprays anywhere but I cannot guarantee this. It is possible the hood was resprayed since there are so few stone chips but I can't honesty tell. When I purchased the car it had a "Bra" on the hood (which is included) so that may be why there are few stone chips that you would typically see on these cars. There is one very small scratch and a very very small ding on the roof and some very minor blemishes around car as to be expected of a 30 year old vehicle. I choose to leave as is since they are so minor rather then touch up. I would rate the overall paint as a solid 8.5 out of 10. It presents really well and looks almost new. All Glass in very nice condition. Please note windshield does have some minor pitting. All lamps etc work properly. Please note remote electronic mirrors do not work and I never got around to checking into issue. Everything is super clean and in order with no signs rust or repairs anywhere, ever. Battery tray area clean and dry no issues. Includes original jack, spare and Tool Kit and I believe the original compressor.
I did install a German Dansk Sport muffler but retained the original that is included if you want it. Fuchs wheels are in good condition but I think 2 of them have minor blemishes. I did put small spacers on the wheels to fill out the wheel wells a bit better and installed longer wheel studs on the rear but retained the originals which are included as are a set of wheel locks. All rubber moldings, bumper pads, weather stripping, lens etc in very good condition. I did add the black stone guards on the rear panels but would be happy to remove them if you prefer prior to pick up of vehicle.
Interior:
Leather is tight and without tears, splitting, fading or discoloration. Bolsters show very little signs of wear that is typical on these cars. Dash is perfect, no distortion, discoloration or cracks. Headliner like new, Door panels very nice, (please note the door panel pockets are a bit distorted but very presentable) Pedals unworn, All switches, controls, indicators and gauges work correctly. Clock keeps perfect time (note, second hand does not work). Alpine period correct stereo. Sunroof works properly. Air conditioning was upgraded prior to my acquisition. Blows cool but not ice cold. May need a recharge but compressor is functioning properly. Carpets in very good condition with aftermarket Lloyds non logo front mats. Speakers were replaced with upgrades no modifications.
Heater works correctly. Shift knob shows wear and I had planned to replace. Gauges are clear, crisp with vibrant coloration on markings.
Engine:
The 3.2 Engine is all original and I see no evidence it has ever been out of the car. Ran a compression check on engine when I purchased car and all cylinders were up to spec and within range. Engine starts quickly, runs smooth and pulls strongly. Car shifts smoothly and properly and is firm and tight. No issues anywhere. Car will blow small amount of blue smoke upon startup for a few seconds if its been sitting a long time but never after that.
Always maintained and had recent plugs, cap/rotor , air filter, oil change and filter, transaxle fluid change, brake pads,etc. New battery installed 2016.
Engine compartment is in order and clean, All stickers in place. Insulation pad between engine and rear seat was recently replaced.

2014 Porsche 911 GT3 and GT3 Cup step out early
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Though Porsche won't be feeding us the full 911 enchilada until tomorrow's Geneva-based festivities, we have managed to scare up some official images of the 2014 911 GT3, as well as the all-new 911 GT3 Cup. As Porsche is celebrating 50 years of the 911, we anticipate a good day for great cars.
The new GT3 looks every bit the proper successor to the racy 911 nameplate, with a fixed rear wing large enough to serve cocktails on, a curvaceous body kit and 20-inch wheels that offer a dominating on-road stance. It's a good bet that Porsche will have coaxed something like 450 horsepower from the naturally aspirated, 3.8-liter flat-six engine that hangs over the car's rear axle. A seven-speed manual and Porsche's own PDK transmission are the likely gearbox offerings.
Should the mental quickness and imposing wingery of the standard GT3 not be enough for you, future racecar driver, Porsche is also bringing a GT3 Cup car to Geneva. The German automaker has given just a few scant details about this Cup car - 460 hp on tap, a production run of just 2,400 units - including three images of the kitted out racer. Certainly more and finer details will emerge, when Porsche shines the spotlights on its new 911s tomorrow.

Recharge Wrap-up: Porsche Mission E charging for Tesla, net zero energy Toyota dealership
Wed, Oct 5 2016Porsche has confirmed that its Mission E charging infrastructure will also work with Tesla vehicles. The ultra-fast, 800-volt charging system will recharge the Mission E to 80 percent in about 15 minutes, and will also service new EVs from Volkswagen and Audi. Porsche CEO Oliver Blume told Top Gear that development of the charging infrastructure "sounds easy but getting the details agreed is hard. We already have the clear technical concept. It can even work with Teslas, with an adapter." Dieter Zetsche, Head of Mercedes-Benz, also tells Top Gear that they are "in talks" with Porsche regarding charging infrastructure. Read more at Top Gear, or from Electrek. An Oregon Toyota dealership is set to be the world's first net zero energy automotive dealership. The newly constructed, LEED Platinum certified Toyota of Corvallis produces more energy than it consumes, for which it is expected to receive Net Zero Energy certification. The 34,800-square-foot building is equipped with enough solar panels to produce as much energy that the dealership will use, with excess being put back into the grid, which will help during hours of peak demand. Toyota Motor Sales regional manager Steve Haag calls Toyota of Corvallis, "a first-of-its-kind template for the auto dealership of the future." Read more from Toyota. Valeo has introduced a new 48-volt hybrid system. The 48V e4Sport, as it is called, uses a 48-volt battery, electric starter-generator, electric supercharger, and eRAD electric rear axle drive for all-wheel drive. It maximizes regenerative braking and stores that energy for increasing torque with the starter-generator, and increasing acceleration with the electric supercharger. The system also supports all-electric driving modes. Valeo says the system is applicable across all vehicle segments, and works with both gasoline and diesel engines. Read more at Green Car Congress. PSA Group has created its own mobility solutions brand, called Free2Move. Free2Move will handle programs like car sharing, connected services, corporate fleet services, and affordable leasing programs for Peugeot, Citroen, DS, and other PSA partners. "For the PSA Group, mobility means not only making and selling excellent cars, but also offering a full range of mobility solutions," says PSA Group VP of Mobility Services Gregoire Olivier.
