1997 911 Carrera 4S.  Arctic silver with black interior, 6-speed transmission.  The car is in excellent condition and has won multiple multi-region PCA concours , scoring perfectly for interior and trunk at different times. I have a clear title in hand. The car is completely original with a few bolt-on upgrades that can be changed to original in a few hours.  The only cosmetic modifications are the rear turbo spoiler and, in the front, the turbo S ducts and clear turn signal lenses.  The car has an upgraded Fabspeed sport catalytic converter and TechArt mufflers that improve the breathing and sound.  The car passed emission testing.  If desired, I can deliver the car in original trim without the upgrades.  

 

The car has 58,8xx miles.  The body and interior are in excellent condition, with only a few stone chips and some normal wear on driver seat bolster.   The turbo twist wheels are in excellent shape with no curb rash at all.   The clear stone shields on the rear fenders were replaced in 2013.  Oil and filters and belts were changed this year.  Everything on the car works as it should, including strong AC. 

 

Options on the car, from the underhood sticker:

 

329  CR210 (upgraded to 220.  Has Porsche CD changer in trunk, Sony magazine)

437  Power seat, left

454  Cruise

650  Sunroof

659  Computer

 

Included with the car are the original tool kit, original OEM “C4S” and aftermarket colored-crest center caps, spare tire donut, air compressor with 2 tabs and light, lower engine tray, original manuals, all keys, cover, Lloyd’s mats, plastic bags and gloves, and bras for front end and mirrors. 

 

I am the fourth owner and have put over 6000 miles on the car, including several long trips on which the car ran perfectly.  The third owner had the car for about 10 years.  I have maintenance records back to the original delivery from Stoddard. 


The car is listed for sale locally and I reserve the right to cancel the auction.

Watch the Safari 911 do its thing off road

Thu, Dec 17 2015

American racing driver Leh Keen spends his working hours in the No. 22 Alex Job Racing WeatherTech Porsche 911 GT America campaigning in the United SportsCar Championship. From the looks of this video, he spends his free time off-roading in a Porsche of his own specification: a 1981 Porsche 911 SC modded into an homage to the rallying 911s of the 1970s. Privateers began rallying the 911 not long after it went on sale 50 years ago, winning European events and the European Rally Championship as soon as 1967. After some good showings in the early 70s the carmaker took a 1978 911 SC to the Safari Rally in Africa going for the overall victory, but an encounter with a rock meant the team could only claim second place. Keen's Guards Red coupe channels that ancestor with a lift kit from Elephant Racing and a light rack and mud flaps shipped over from Europe. The engine gets a little more power thanks to intake modifications, some SSI heat exchangers, and a Danske exhaust. To help keep it together on the trail, the bumpers get pulled in and use steel bash bars for protection, and the side mirrors are aero numbers tucked into the A-pillar angle. The interior has been entirely redone. Keen apparently said "he wanted a 911 he could 'go anywhere' with," and the video above shows him doing just that. You can read more about the car in this month's Porsche Club of America magazine, check out Fatlace for the short story and a few pictures, or head to photographer Clint Davis' site for an eyefull of high-res shots of the beast.

Porsche bringing electric Pajun concept to Frankfurt?

Wed, Jul 22 2015

France's L'Automobile magazine reports that a precursor to the long-rumored and much-discussed Porsche Pajun will come to the Frankfurt Motor Show. The reveal is being characterized as a "'connected' study that could well turn into a series model." Just seeing something at all, however, would be a major step. Pajun palaver has been splattered all over the Internet for more than three years, since back when it was going to come with a V6 to be an ICE challenger to the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, and Mercedes E-Class. The intervening years have turned the rumormill up to Level: Sasquatch, and still we had no idea when we'd ever see a car that, at one time, was headed for showrooms next year. Then we got a bunch of reports at the end of last year about a swoopy electric sedan, accompanied by patent filings for novel electric and hydrogen fuel cell powerplants. This year, Porsche has been making noise in the US and Europe about EV and connected-car initiatives, and reports blossomed with giggly details concerning the Pajun, like a 300-mile range, potentially 600 horsepower, two electric motors, four-wheel steering, and a topological battery layout with "108 separate battery pouches." A more recent report posits a Tesla Model S-fighting 420 horsepower and a 265-mile range. So we hope L'Automobile is correct, because we can't wait to see the proper, sheetmetal inspiration for whatever the Pajun will be. Related Video:

Porsche Classic launching branded motor oil for air-cooled boxer engines

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

It's hard not to love the look of a classic Porsche. Whether it's the upside-down bathtub styling of the 356 or the gradual evolution of the 911, there is a little beauty in all of them. However, the older they get, the more that needs repaired to keep them on the road. Porsche Classic is helping out, though, by introducing its own brand of motor oil for the demands of the company's vintage, air-cooled engines.
Developed at the Porsche Development Centre in Weissach, Germany, Porsche Classic Motoroil comes in two weights - 20W-50 for the 356, 914 and 911 models up to the 2.7-liter G-Model and 10W-60 for 3.0-liters-and-up engines through the 993-chassis 911. The company claims that the air-cooled engines have different heat demands than traditional, water-cooled units, and this oil is made to meet those requirements.
According to Porsche, modern, synthetic oils are sometimes too effective when it comes to old engines. They are fantastic at sopping up debris, but those deposits are often holding archaic seals together. Suddenly removing them can cause leaks. The new oil is specifically designed to work with the old-fashioned materials found in its classics. The company also knows that most owners aren't driving their vintage cars everyday. So this formulation is more alkaline that normal to neutralize acids that they build up and corrode components.
