This is a NO RESERVE listing.

This is my 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera coupe with 61,200 miles which was purchased new by Cleveland Indians Major League Baseball All-Star pitcher Charles Nagy.

This is one of the best-condition 996-model 911s you will find for sale anywhere- this is superb-condition vehicle.

I admit, I'm a Porsche lover.  I've had nearly every model of Porsche made in the last 30 years, and I love Porsches of all kinds.  To me they are the perfect balance of reliability, performance, comfort and uniqueness.

Of course, the ultimate Porsche is and always has been the 911.  I particularly love this 996 version because of its styling, available options and superb driving experience.  There is no other car that combines this level of performance with everyday drivability and total reliability. 

I chose this particular 911 very specifically. I wanted a 2WD hardtop with a 6-speed and the upgraded interior.  I don't care for the 4WD system because it numbs the steering and slows the car down off the line.  Convertibles are a huge compromise and I didn't want that either.  The only transmission I even considered was this 6-speed manual.  And finally, the base 911 interior is cheap and chintzy, so I wanted the upgraded full-leather-and-wood interior.  I also wanted a color that you don't see every day, and this Ocean Blue Metallic is a rare and beautiful color.

This 911 is one of the most well-balanced, comfortable and capable cars I've ever driven.  This is truly an enthusiast's gem.

This car has a superb, yet not overloaded list of options in addition to the huge list of standard equipment-

  • 296HP Engine
  • 6-speed Manual Transmission
  • Ocean Blue Metallic Paint
  • All Leather Seats and Interior Package (Savanna Beige)
  • Light Real Wood Package
  • Light Maplewood Steering Wheel
  • Heated Front Seats
  • 18" Turbo Cast Wheels
  • Wheel Caps with Colored Crest
  • HiFi Sound Package w/Speakers
  • AM/FM Radio with CD Player

In all the car has $6922 in options, for a total as-delivered price of $78,222.

This is just an outstanding car.  I cannot describe the exhilaration you feel hearing that hyper-mechanical flat-6 engine behind you as you accelerate through a turn.  This car has amazing balance and handling- the limits are so high that I cannot push this car even close to its capability.  While this is a sports car, it is also a comfortable luxury car.  The leather and wood interior is gorgeous, and the car has every feature you could want, and none that you don't.  This particular 911 is one of the best examples you will ever find of a pure driving and luxury experience in a Porsche.

This car has never been in any accidents, and it has all-original paint.  The paint and body are in excellent condition.  The Carfax report is clean and clear and I have the clear OH title in hand and ready to transfer.  The car has been immaculately cared-for since new, and it has always been garaged. I have the original window sticker, plus all the original books and manuals, plus the service booklet which has been stamped by the servicing dealer.  I also have three keys with the car.  This car was sold new at Stoddard Porsche, one mile from my house in Willoughby, OH.

The interior in full-leather and real Maplewood is beautiful and in excellent condition.  The leather, carpets and upholstery are clean and in very good condition for the age.  Unlike many 911 interiors, this one has been cared for and doesn't have broken/worn plastics and switchgear- it is clean, pristine and looks excellent.

This car starts, runs and drives beautifully.  The engine is smooth and powerful, the transmission shifts perfectly, the clutch is strong and the steering is tight and precise.  The suspension is tight yet compliant, the brakes stop well and there are no warning lights illuminated.  This car drives like a dream and there are no known mechanical issues.  The acceleration is strong, the braking and handling are superb, and the car handles and drives as well as any car you can buy.  This is a totally solid, reliable and dependable car with no known issues.

Everything works- the A/C is cold, all the power options and equipment are working, the sunroof and windows work properly, the rear spoiler works, there are no warning lights on, etc.  This is a no-worries car.

The tires have good tread remaining, the radio buttons aren't worn down, there are no oil leaks, nor any known RMS/IMS issues.  The car is straight and clean down the sides with no paintwork ever.

This is a totally reliable, no-worries 911 that you can drive and enjoy right now.

The next oil change is not due until 64,155 miles. 

This is a 1999 car, not a 2014.  It isn't brand new, but it is exceptionally nice.  A couple of tiny issues to note: there are a few minor stone nicks on the nose, and a few tiny paint scratches here and there.  There are a couple minor scratches on the wheels, and some of the genuine wood trim in the interior is cracked a bit.  All of this is far less than average wear and tear.  This is a superbly clean, totally reliable car that I'd trust to drive to California and back. 

This is a no reserve listing, but I have a number in my head that would buy the car now.  Call me to discuss. 

This car is kept in my garage in Willoughby, OH.

You can fly in to Cleveland (CLE) and drive this car home.  You may also choose to have the car shipped- I highly recommend Angels Moving Autos at 530 245 0481.

Ferrari IPO may turn out to be good news for enthusiasts

Tue, Oct 27 2015

Sergio Marchionne's strategy to spin off Ferrari from FCA and make the Italian automaker a publicly traded company has been met with ire from a vocal contingent of enthusiasts ever since rumors about the plan began to surface a few years ago. Some of these particularly pessimistic automotive pundits have voiced fears that with stockholders in the mix, it would not only spell the demise of the exclusive Italian supercar maker as we know it, but would in fact "ruin" the company. Call me dense, but I fail to see what the issue is. That isn't to say that I don't understand what's causing the fear. When profitability becomes a higher priority for a brand that's historically relied on exclusivity to keep its products in the highest echelons of desirability, there's a high potential for internal philosophical conflict. And then there are concerns about the sorts of products that Ferrari might develop that aren't the high-performance sports cars that the brand is known for. But individuals with those apprehensions seem to forget that Ferrari has already lent its name to a multitude of things that are not LaFerraris, 488 GTBs, or F12 Berlinettas, including clothing, headphones, and even laptops. But let's assume for a moment that the core anxiety is about future vehicles – including the unspeakable notion that Ferrari might develop an SUV. Why wouldn't Ferrari build an SUV, especially after seeing how incredibly successful that endeavor has been for Porsche? I think it's likely that Ferrari will put engineers to task creating some sort of crossover or high-rolling cruiser with room for the whole family at some point in the near future. And why wouldn't it, after seeing how incredibly successful that endeavor has been for Porsche? After all, the Cayenne accounted for more US sales in 2013 than the Boxster, Cayman, 911, and 918 combined, and it only gave up about a thousand units of sales last year to make room for the Macan crossover, the latter of which Porsche sold nearly as many of as it did Boxsters and Caymans. People want these vehicles, and they're willing to pay quite a bit of money for them. If we use Porsche's recent trajectory as a foreshadowing metric for what's in store for Ferrari, the future actually looks pretty good. After all, those SUV sales keep plenty of cash in Porsche's coffers for the low-volume projects that we enthusiasts love, like the 918 Spyder and the 911 GT3 RS.

This Porsche 911 GT3 sounds awesome at Targa Tasmania

Tue, Apr 19 2016

Unleash high-performance vehicles on closed public roads, and you're practically guaranteed to see something great. Watch a 991-generation Porsche 911 GT3 singing on those picturesque highways, and things just get better. The Targa Tasmania challenges drivers and their machines to negotiate tricky stages in a beautiful setting every year, but there's something mesmerizing about watching this video of a GT3 take the victory in the GT2 class in the rally's 2016 running. Just turn up the speakers, sit back, and enjoy Matt Close and Cameron Reeves put on a show. They take the Porsche from small villages through mountain roads and verdant pastures to eventually attain a class victory. It's a beautiful sight and well worth briefly enjoying in this four-minute video, especially for the great sound. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Preserving automotive history costs big bucks

Wed, 29 Jan 2014



$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.
