This is an incredible example of the sought after 1973 Porsche 911. This car is rust free! It has been owned by the original owner for 41 years. I bought it from the original owner, and he was reluctant to sell but has some health issues. His son helped prepare the vehicle for sale. This car has been upgraded with steel ST fenders front and rear. This conversion occurred about twenty years ago. It was a great job and has held up well. The car has the tilting sport seats, which are hugely valuable by themselves. In addition the vehicle has a 2.7S motor which has the upgraded chain tensioners, as well as Weber carburetors. It is a fast nimble and exhilarating car. The wheels are Compmotive and fifteen inches in diameter, and the tires are old, and should be replaced. Both front and rear bumpers are steel, although I don't know their origin.

The great! Gaps are great all around! You can enjoy and drive as is. These vehicles are on the rise in price. Drive a classic long hood Porsche. I can visualize this vehicle with the correct Fuch wheels, Viper green Carrera stripe kit for an RSR and a killer duck tail. It could be phenomenal! Transmission has the short shift kit on the linkage. Drives and runs fantastic. Brake discs are new all around and are ventilated like the "S" model. The clutch and transmission work great, no synchronizer issues. The engine is strong and runs great! The paint is beautiful and is the original color. The car has been repainted and is very nice and shiny. The sport seats are extremely comfortable and supportive. The interior is in very nice condition. The carpets look original to me, and appear to be in great condition. Rust free 1973! These are hard to find. Start with a great foundation and build it into what you want. 

The not so good. No spare tire, no tool kit, no jack, no owners manual, no receipts. The original owner closed and moved his business, so is looking for receipts, but also in poor health, so plan on as is! The generator light is on while running, even though it appears to be charging. The tachometer also doesn't work, the passenger side door needs the door stop repair kit, the rear brake lights work, but not the taillights. Headlights and wipers work. The horn and turn signals also don't work. The car hasn't been driving regular in about twenty years so expect some sorting. The owner's son did replace the fuel lines, new fuel pump, and did new brakes all around. He is a motorcycle mechanic, but not a Porsche mechanic, so please review his work for correctness. The mirrors are not original, and the adjustors are in the original door panels. I do not have the original wheels, deck lid, original seats, or steering wheel.

Jack Olsen built one Porsche to do it all

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

Jack 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 Cayman GT4 spotted at the N?rburgring

Tue, 13 May 2014

It was just the other day that we first caught wind of Porsche's plans to build a GT4 version of the Cayman, and now we're already looking at spy shots of the vehicle in question undergoing testing at - where else? - the Nürburgring.
With more aggressive front-end aero, a GT3-style air vent ahead of the front hood, a large wing at the back, and spindly alloys packed with over-sized brakes at each corner, this Cayman is clearly more extreme than even the range-topping GTS. The rear diffuser and central exhaust tips look about the same as those you'd find at the back of the Cayman GTS, though.
What we can't see, of course, is what Porsche has slotted in under the rear glass, how it's upgraded the interior and how much weight it's stripped out of the thing to get it down to fighting weight, but you can bet it'll come with a substantial power bump and a stripped-out interior with racing buckets and little else to open the gap between it and the GTS... and close the gap to the 911 GT3 which it will join as the baby brother in Porsche's performance-focused lineup.

A few pre-race notes and a lot of photos from the 24 Hours of Le Mans

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

The 82nd running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is on.
Audi has won 12 of the last 15 events, the scion of Auto Union is trying to make it 13 this year. To do so, it will have to overcome a situation faced only three other times during its dominance of La Sarthe: underdog status. Toyota has won the first two races of the year and claimed pole for this race, the rumor being that this year it's Toyota's race to lose.
And then there's Porsche. It's been 16 years since the Stuttgart brand raced on the top rung at Le Mans, three years years since it announced its return, just a year since it acquired Mark Webber in a signing that wasn't subtle and a few months since we got eyes on the 919 Hybrid.
