1985 Porsche 911 Targa
I purchased this car on August 26 2013, at that time the car had 136,302 miles on it. I started with a great car and made it greater. This car is accident and rust free, the interior has no rips or tears and its mechanicals all work as they should.

During my ownership I have done and installed the following. 
  • H4 Headlamp conversion
  • 17" staggered Fuch Replicas
  • New tires
  • High flow air filter
  • Steve Wong performance chip
  • High performance exhaust
  • New door sill trim
  • New hood and trunk lift struts
  • Engine valvetrain overhaul (over $4000.00 in Valves, guides, seals and gaskets)
  • Aluminum pedals
  • Custom wood steering wheel (not cheap)
  • New Leather shift knob
  • Custom floor Mats
  • Custom load floor mats
  • Performance brake pads
  • Performance cross drilled rotors
  • New clutch
  • New CV boots
  • New high torque starter
  • Conversion to R134a refrigerant 
  • CD audio 
The body color is "marmograu" which is white in appearance but when compared to a white car is the lightest shade of gray possible. This is a high quality repaint, this together with the blue leather interior is nothing less than stunning and probably one of a kind.

The interior looks like a car with only 50,000 on it. The seats do not have wear on the bolsters, the dash has a cap installed but without mention you would never know it.

The engine has just had the upper end rebuilt, this means no smoke at start up or ever. No leaks and No oil consumption.

The factory "915" transmission works as it should.

This car is lowered to a "euro" spec height and has been detailed by professionals with its classic black trim being restored to is original glory, factory optional "whale tail" spoiler this car is a true classic Porsche and catches everyone's eye as you go past.

This car is presented with no dings or dents, no tears in the Targa top, door panels, seats or armrests. This car has no needs nor wants when you drive this car you are in a time machine. The only reason for the sale is another project has forced me into a reluctant sale. Don't buy a fixer upper if you can help it. These cars are expensive to restore and sort out, all of that has been done for you here. Spend the little extra and get a great car, this car, you will be much happier in the long run. Values on this car are only going to go up. This car will be worth another 5k-10k more in a few years!

 The reserve is set to Sell Now. Bid with confidence, I have had a lifelong obsession with great cars, this my friends is truly a great one.

This car is sold as is, where is. A deposit of $500.00 is expected within 24hours of the auctions end. Any questions please call 804-356-9918

Good Luck Bidding and thanks for looking!

Porsche drivers escape this horrific VIR crash unscathed

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

There is no doubting the fact that it takes nerves of steel to be a racecar driver, but the same can also be said for motorsports photographers. Case in point: The American Le Mans Series Oak Tree Grand Prix at the Virginia International Raceway where two Porsche 911 racecars crash hard into the tire barrier, but the dedicated cameraman stays with the shot - diving away only at the last second just as the battered No. 31 car (shown above) comes to rest atop the tire barriers just feet from where he was standing.
The crash occurred when the two Porsches charged hard into a corner. Judging by the video, the white No. 48 car appears to not see the orange No. 31 and the two cars make contact, skidding off track hitting the tire barriers at a high rate of speed. Both drivers walked away from the frightening crash, but the video - posted below - shows just how bad things could have been. Hopefully the close call will serve as a lesson for the woman standing in the track marshal's post who has her back to the racing as the two cars barrel directly toward her.

Season 9 of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee teases us with BMWs and Volvos

Thu, Dec 22 2016

Jerry Seinfeld's successful online show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is heading into its ninth season, returning January 5th. It should be no surprise that the list of actors and comedians is impressive, with Kristen Wiig, Christoph Waltz, and more making appearances. Seinfeld has lined up an equally impressive list of cars for the new season. Porsche, BMW, and Volvo all have beautiful machines lined up to shuttle Seinfeld and his guest to different coffee shops. As always, it's a mix of light humor packed into a relatively short and, most importantly, free video. Catch up on the previous eight seasons now on Crackle.

Ex-F1 driver Mark Webber has tough life, shakes down Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Fri, Apr 24 2015

It's good work if you can get it, and Mark Webber has got it. The works driver for the Porsche World Endurance Championship Team was apparently asked to moonlight in a video shoot for the company's new 911 GT3 RS at the Nurburgring Nordschleife, and what do you know, he complied. They don't appear to be going too quickly, and a racing driver asked to rein in what will be one of the most blistering cars we'll see this year must be very serious work, because Webber doesn't appear to be smiling at all. We'll guess there's a big smile on the inside, though, and some tales to tell to his Porsche teammates at the next WEC race. Maybe the next time we see the 911 GT3 RS at the 'Ring, it will be doing the timed lap we're all waiting for. Related Video:
