My wife and I recently moved from San Diego, CA to Baltimore, MD.  I went from having a two car garage to a one car garage, and, now, a baby is on the way.

My loss is your gain.  The last owner of this car never intended sell it.  He spent a lot of money on it, but he was hurt bad in the housing crisis and so I bought it off him in 2009.  I am willing to sell it for the same amount I paid for it even though I have over $15k in my own receipts since purchase.  I am an engineer by background, and I have a fair amount of OCD when it comes to my projects.  I just kept addressing every little thing that I could find.  I think that comes through in how I represent the car.

This is a California car.  The maintenance receipts dating back to 1985 demonstrate the desert provenance of the car, and the VIN report shows emission checks in arid southern California.  It has never seen salt or ice.  It has no rust.

I have over $50k in receipts for the last 14,000 miles on the car.  The car also comes with receipts dating back to 1985.  The mileage listed is since the engine rebuild.  

Here are the big ticket receipts:

Major Engine Rebuild (14k miles)
- Mild performance upgrades including ported and polished cylinder head, compression and cam
- Custom chip programmed on the dyno reaching 208hp at the rear wheel
Complete Transmission Rebuild (6k miles)
- Fast Shift Synchros
- Wevo Linkage, Wevo PSJ, Wevo Spring Kit, Wevo Extended Handle
Suspension Upgrades (5k miles)
- 24mm Hollow Elephant Torsion bars up front, 33mm Hollow Elephant Torsion bars in the back
- Bilstein Sport Shocks, Corner Balanced
Complete Interior Refurbishment
- New leather, new carpets, new dashboard, new door panels
- The pictures show it well

This car is absolutely reliable.  It leaks zero fluids.  It has excellent rubber trim all the way around, great heating, and ice cold A/C.  You could certainly use it as a daily driver without any issue and not have the guilt of devaluing a low mileage car.  I can refer you to Black Forest Porsche in San Diego to ask about my maintenance history with the car and how persistent I was about addressing every little thing I could find. Give them the VIN so they can pull their records and ask for Jeff, or you could just look at my book of receipts.  

There is just over 268,000 miles on the odometer.  The paint is the original single stage treatment from Stuttgart.  It has nicks and chips commiserate with its age.  It looks great in sunshine but a bit faded under artificial light.  The next owner might consider repainting if you can find someone near you who will perform a single stage application correctly.  Please don't mess up this beautiful car with clearcoat.  

The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction should another transaction occur.  Serious bidders only please.

Thank you for your time in reading my ad and good luck bidding.

Porsche 911 GT3 RS getting all-new atmospheric engine

Thu, Jan 15 2015

Porsche surprised many of its most puritanical enthusiasts when it took a decidedly more usable approach with the current 911 GT3. But when the new GT3 RS debuts, it promises to be a much more extreme departure. And a big part of that comes down to the engine. At the Detroit Auto Show this week, Auto Express spoke with Porsche R&D chief Wolfgang Hatz – who also happens to be head of engine and transmission development for the entire Volkswagen group. Hatz revealed that Porsche has developed a completely new engine for the GT3 RS, and while previous rumors suggested the RS would go turbo to fill in for the lack of a GT2 (and make the most out of its displacement), Hatz confirmed that it will be naturally aspirated. Considering that Porsche rarely goes downwards when it comes to 911 engine displacement, only upwards, we'd expect the new RS to pick up where the previous 4.0 left off. The new GT3 RS is also expected to pack a more extreme suspension, aero and stripped-out interior, but those hoping for an old-school approach may be disappointed to learn that the new RS will (at least at launch) only be available with the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission – though a manual version could follow if there's enough demand. In a related development, Hatz also hinted that the Cayman GT4 could debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March, with an even more extreme approach than the previous Cayman R. The new top-of-the-line Cayman is reportedly being developed to comply with GT4 class racing regulations but be fully homologated for road use. Related Video:

Porsche working on turbo V12 for Putin limo project?

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Porsche is best known for building very well-regarded sports cars and better-selling utility vehicles. Come to the company with a big enough bag of cash, though, and the Porsche Engineering division can create just about anything. The group's past projects include working with Harley-Davidson, Mercedes-Benz and corporate cousin Audi, but if rumors prove true, then its latest partner might be the last one you'd expect.
Russian website Wroom reports that Porsche Engineering is building the engine for the Project Cortege government limousine project for Russian president Vladimir Putin. The mill is supposedly a turbocharged V12 displacing between 6.0- and 6.6-liters and making around 800 horsepower. When complete, it will reportedly be built by ZMZ with Russian-sourced parts.
The limo is expected to debut in 2017, according to Wroom, but it's just the beginning of Putin's grandiose plans, which also goes by the name of the Motorcade Project. The same platform is also meant to underpin several vehicles for use by the government, including an SUV, a small bus and a sedan. All of them would reportedly have a longitudinally mounted engine and all-wheel drive.
