1989 Porsche Carrera 911 on 2040-cars
Reedville, Virginia, United States
|
My ’89 Carrera is up for sale simply because I have no more room and have purchased another vehicle. I purchased this vehicle in 2010 from a broker in Connecticut who was representing a collector. Since my ownership, the vehicle has had annual oil service, state inspections, and has run flawlessly. Vehicle came with a considerable amount of documented service history which I will pass onto winning bidder. With the exception of a crack in the dashboard (photo attached) there are no dents, scrapes dings or any other defects with this vehicle. Vehicle does exhibit normal wear, and is being sold “as is”. I had planned to convert car to the “yellowbird” look and installed the rear bumper. I abandoned the project and never installed the front bumper. I have the front bumper and the original rear bumper with side skirts that I will include with the sale of vehicle. The Carfax report shows an accident in 2008. I investigated the incident, and discussed it with the mechanical shop that performed most of the repairs and service on the vehicle. They assured me it was a minor incident related to another vehicle sliding on ice at slow speed into the car. As this establishment enjoys a very good reputation, I have no doubt it was indeed as they have stated. Furthermore, when I had the vehicle repainted, the accident area in question was discovered, and it appeared to be no more than maybe 2x4 inches in area. Paint refresh was performed by a local custom shop known for their attention to detail and they enjoy an outstanding reputation. All trim was removed, car was wet sanded, and all visible jambs, bonnet and engine bay were painted. Look at the pictures and you can see the quality of their work. Upgrades to vehicle include the turbo tie-rods, turbo front valance, fog lights, stainless steel sport muffler, Pioneer AM/FM/CD, Polk speakers, Sirius and Ipod connection. Tires are Toyo Proxis with 80 percent tread life remaining, with the larger 9 x 16 wheels on the back. Car has a certificate of Authenticity from Porsche. This car is the real deal, no stories, no excuses. |

J.D. Power: Vehicle dependability at all-time high, Lexus and Porsche lead
Wed, 13 Feb 2013
Each year, J.D. Power and Associates surveys original owners of three-year-old vehicles to find out what kinds of problems they have had experienced over the last 12 months, and then it uses this data to create its annual Vehicle Dependability Study. This means that the models in the 2013 study are 2010 model year vehicles, and J.D. Power rates each make as well as the top individual models based on how many problems were experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100).
Debunking the idea that carryover models are more dependable than new or updated models, the 2013 study found that the average carryover model experienced 133 PP100, while all-new or redesigned vehicles for the 2010 model year had 116 PP100; vehicles that received minor changes fared the best with just 111 PP100. The overall average for all makes was 126 PP100, which is the lowest figure since the findings were first issued in 1989.
Jack Olsen built one Porsche to do it all
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Jack Olsen has built himself a lair called the 12-Gauge Garage, and inside that garage he built a lairy Porsche 911 nicknamed Black Beauty II. Although it looks like one of Stuttgart's models from the sixties or seventies, it is actually four decades of 911 gubbins from 1965 to 2000 thrown under one shell: the lightweight body is from 1972, the transaxle from 1977, the brakes from a 1986 Turbo, the engine from 1995, for example. It weighs 2,400 pounds and it's got 272 horsepower to get it going, but it's still a pure Porsche, Olsen saying, "If you stop thinking about what you're doing, it will remind you in very abrupt ways."
Olsen said the real point has been to have one car that does it all, so he does everything in his 911 from neighborhood runs to 7-11 to track racing - he loads the aero bits in the car and bolts them on trackside. And he says he'll never stop tweaking the suspension.
You can watch and hear the rest in Olsen's words in the video below.
Porsche 911 GT2 RS vs. Mercedes SLS AMG Black in battle of who can shred more rubber
Fri, 04 Apr 2014We might be looking at the end of an era in European performance models. Mercedes-Benz is doing away with the SLS in favor of a rumored smaller and cheaper SLC, and Porsche has said that a new 911 GT2 isn't necessarily a sure thing, which means another 911 GT2 RS is even farther away. In its latest video, Evo's Jethro Bovingdon pits the ultimate versions of these German sports coupes against each other and finds two of the fastest cars the magazine has ever lapped around its track.
In one corner, there is the Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series that sits as the pinnacle of the company's halo model. It relies on the classic setup of a V8 mounted in front powering the rear wheels. On the other side, there is the 911 GT2 RS with a turbocharged flat-six mounted at the back, spinning the rear wheels. It was conceived to be Porsche's ultimate expression of a turbocharged 911, and while it's a few years old, Bovingdon shows that it's up to the task of racing a more modern rival.
Both of these rear-wheel-drive monsters are more than capable of some fantastically smoky power-slides, but they also show how great the last generation of sports cars was. Scroll down to check out the video.
