You are bidding on a very nice, increasingly rare 1996 Polar Silver Metallic 993 Porsche 911 Carrera with only 36,199 miles. This car is factory original, clean and in excellent running condition.  The reserve price is set at a very reasonable level.  I reserve the right to end this listing at any time prior to the reserve price being met. 

History of the vehicle - I purchased the car in South Florida where (it is my understanding), the car was originally acquired by its primary owner in 1995/96 up until a few years ago when he transferred title to his family in Georgia.  I can tell the original owner cared for this car as it has been well kept.  The family sold the car to an auction house and was subsequently purchased by a Miami dealer and sold to me in 2012.  The reason I am selling the car is simply because I don't drive it enough to justify the vehicle storage which is limited at my home.

Maintenance - The car is stored in a climate controlled garage and has never seen snow or ice.  According to a relative of the original owner, the car was maintained by a Porsch facility in Miami.  I spoke to the mechanic that maintained the car and he remembers the car and its owner.  He stated that the original owner was meticulous about the maintenance of this vehicle and verbally gave an overview of the regular services preformed.  He could not release the service records since they included personal information on the owner.  I also had the car inspected  by another Porsche shop in Miami and it checked out.  Since I do not possess the maintenance records, I took the car to a local Porsche dealer/service center this summer and had an inspection done as well as the extensive 30,000 mile recommended maintenance (per the manual),  just in case it did not get done previously.  I also had new Michelin tires installed. I will include the receipts for the recent service and new tires to the new owner.  Also included is the original owners manual, 2 keys with fobs, spare tire and wheel lock.

Overall the car is beautiful, runs strong and there are no mechanical issues that I am aware of.  The interior of this car is in excellent condition.  The paint color (Polar Silver), is really nice and still shiny but has normal wear and tear as the car has been driven for 18 years.  There are some small blemishes and stone chips in the paint only noticiable up close and obtained in the normal course of driving.

Shipping - Buyer is responsible for the cost and arrangement of shipping.

Payment - A $2,000 deposit is due 48 hours after the auction ends with the remainder due within 7 days of the auction ending in the form of a bank cashiers check.  Once full payment has been received and cleared, the title and keys will be sent and the car can be picked up. 

THIS VEHICLE IS BEING SOLD AS IS WHERE IS WITHOUT WARRANY OF ANY KIND. 

Serious buyers only are welcome and encouraged to inspect the car in person before bidding.

Thanks for your interest.

The exotic '80s: Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus and the Porsche 959

Thu, Apr 9 2015

There's no secret that we are big fans of the MotorWeek Retro Review series around here. In an automotive world that often focuses on the latest tech and what's coming in the future, it's refreshing to take a look into the past to get a new perspective. That said, the show is really outdoing itself this time by posting a full episode from the '80s to YouTube, complete with the original, jazzy opening. The video is an absolute standout, too, with drives of some of the best supercars that Europe could offer at the time. Among the now classic sportscars that MotorWeek got to drive are the Ferrari 328, Lotus Esprit Turbo, Lamborghini Jalpa and Autokraft AC Mark IV. There's even a preview that sings the praises of the tech in the Porsche 959. The episode is basically a showcase of most of the exotics from young enthusiasts' walls and school folders during the '80s and is not to be missed.

Top 11 Lego Technic cars to buy on Amazon in 2024

Mon, Jan 22 2024

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. I recently got a birthday wish list from my 11-year-old nephew, and I couldn't help but smile when I saw “Lego Technic Cars” at the top. Lego isnÂ’t a phase, itÂ’s a lifestyle. Once a Lego fan, always a Lego fan. In fact, IÂ’d be willing to bet that many of you reading this right now have some kind of Lego vehicle in a box somewhere, or better yet, on display in your home. While theyÂ’re not necessarily cheap, getting into building Lego Technic vehicles doesnÂ’t have to bankrupt you, either, unless you go for the $400 Lamborghini right off the bat. Here are 11 of our favorite Lego Technic vehicles on Amazon, right now, ranging from an affordable $35 all the way up to $450. LEGO Technic Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Ages 9+ (544 Pieces) - $39.99 (20% off) One of my first and favorite model cars growing up was a first-gen Ford Mustang GT350, so this GT500 for under $40 is right up my alley. At 544 pieces and made for ages 9 and up, the GT500 is a considerable step up from Grave Digger but a great starter to a Technic collection nonetheless. It isnÂ’t the most accurate-looking vehicle in this list, but the AR app and the fact that it can drive make it a worthwhile purchase. $39.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Formula E Porsche 99X Electric Ages 9+ (422 Pieces) - $49.99 Not a Ford fan? Not a problem. This Formula E Porsche 99X is the same price and better looking than the GT500. Even though there are 122 fewer pieces in this Porsche set, it has a level of detail seen in much more expensive Technic sets including numerous decals and a pull back motor.  $49.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Jeep Wrangler Ages 9+ (665 Pieces) - $54.99 This is the set I ended up going with for my nephew, not because I think it is the coolest, but because for the price, I think you get the most bang for your buck. 665 pieces is over 50% more than the comparatively priced Porsche 99X and it also scratches the nostalgia itch for me: The first-ever model vehicle I built was a yellow Jeep Wrangler Sahara. This Wrangler Rubicon has definitely had some aftermarket mods like the front winch, which makes it one of the coolest Technic sets under $60.  $54.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Monster Jam Grave Digger Ages 7+ (212 Pieces) - $34.16 If ever there was a gateway Lego Technic, this Grave Digger is it.

Watch Carrera Cup driver Connor de Phillippi's first lap of the N"urburgring

Thu, 23 May 2013

American 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.
