I have owned this car for the past few years and am really sorry to see this one go. I have several cars, and this one is my "go to" car for driving pleasure. I truly love driving this car. One year only, Porsche made 2099 of these as a "stop gap" vehicle after the 914, and before the 924. Only 500 with sunroof. Jump in anytime. Prices on this last 4 cyl aircooled car from Porsche, and other aircooled Porsches' are ramping up fast!

General overall condition is very good. Serial number is 1012. The body is galvanized. No rust, or past rust repairs. No collision repairs. Only one older repaint in the original Guards Red color. Not a "windows out" job, but nice. I would say that paint is a 7.5 out of 10. No where near flawless, but very nice presentable paint. Some ripples, but nothing major. Because I am not afraid to take this car anywhere, I would not repaint the car. I put on the louvered engine lid, but still have the original in real good shape.  Includes rain shield. I also removed the clock and temp gauges and replaced them with vents that are functional that I connected to a newer model A/C evaporator with fan located in the Smugglers Box. It's controlled by an OEM A/C switch located in the later model console. Now there is ventilation in the car! I had a "combo" gauge made by Palo Alto speedometer with both temp and gas level to replace the two gauges. Seats and general interior is nice. Again not perfect, but real nice. Dash pad is perfect. Seats have no rips and look very nice. Carpet is nice with no heavy wear. Headliner is the worst thing on this car. Looks bad, with rips and should be replaced down the road. After a lot of work, the sunroof works great. Door pockets were just professionally redone, but not yet installed. Steelies and stripe are period correct. New tie rod ends, and front shock inserts. Ride is a little rough because I lowered the car. Still a very comfortable ride. Tires are newer Toyo. Generally if something looked crappy on the car, I replaced it. Trim, bumpers, glass, chrome all look very nice. The original motor let loose at just under 300K. I replaced the case with a 2.0 ltr. GA case and a 100% rebuild including the last pair of NOS 3 bolt heads on the planet. Euro P/C with higher compression. Still retains the original Fuel injection, Heat exchangers, and muffler. All that said it is still a 90ish HP type IV engine that is fun to drive! 

Overall a great Porsche that doesn't need anything. A great presentable driver that has a great feel. More like early 356/912 than 911. Please email with any questions that you may have, or if you need additional pictures. If you would like to talk to me about the car, email me and request my number. I would be happy to discuss the car.  Check out my feedback and bid with confidence. If you are in the Detroit are, I would love to show you the car. SHIPPING IS 100% THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER. I will assist in every way to assure that the car is loaded properly. A $1000 deposit is required at the end of the auction. Thanks, and good luck!

Fastest and most powerful SUVs in America for 2022

Wed, Nov 10 2021

Here in the United States, we enjoy power almost as much as we like our SUVs. Thankfully, we’ve got plenty of both. Traditionally, the most powerful SUVs source their massive horsepower and torque from some form of a V8. While thatÂ’s still generally the case, electrification comes into play more and more, whether itÂ’s mild-hybrid tech, a plug-in hybrid powertrain or, as is the case with the two vehicles topping this list, fully electric vehicles. As we enter the 2022 model year, letÂ’s look at the most powerful SUVs available.  Before we dive in, letÂ’s address the elephant that is waiting just outside the door. Due to supply shortages, Mercedes-Benz is shelving most V8 models for the 2022 model year. Some 2021 models can still be found in dealer inventories, but we wonÂ’t include them. With that in mind, letÂ’s dive into the list. 2022 Audi RS Q8 — 591 hp / 190 mph Read our review of the Audi RS Q8 The only Audi on this list is a hot little number, which we characterized as “an uncompromising option in a field of compromised options.” Powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 (which seems to be a popular format in this list), its 591 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque get it scootinÂ’ to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds, and on to a top speed of 190 mph. It even has the bragging rights of holding the Nurburgring lap record for an SUV.   2022 Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge — 592 hp / 155 mph (limited) Read our review of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan This is one SUV where being a passenger might be more exciting than sitting in the driverÂ’s seat, thanks to over-the-top luxury — what do you expect from a car that costs over $350,000? The driver doesnÂ’t go unrewarded, though, with a turbocharged 6.75-liter V12 at their disposal. Thanks to the Black BadgeÂ’s software upgrade, it makes 592 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque to help get to its electronically limited top speed of 155 mph that much quicker.    2022 BMW Alpina XB7 — 612 hp / 180 mph Read our review of the BMW Alpina XB7 Alpina takes already impressive BMW vehicles and turns them into even more powerful, more luxurious machines. The Alpina XB7 improves upon the BMW X7 with a biturbocharged 4.4-liter V8 offering up 612 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. ThatÂ’s good for a 4.0-second 0-60 sprint and a 180-mph top speed. Alpina also adds its own transmission and drivetrain tuning, upgraded suspension, exhaust and a whole slew of unique appearance touches.

Porsche 911 2.7 RS values up by nearly 700% in the last 10 years [w/video]

Thu, Jan 1 2015

These days if you have a wad of cash to invest in a classic car, Ferrari seems to be the best option. Hagerty's price index for the Italian supercars was up 43 percent in 2014, and Prancing Horses made up eight of the highest-selling vehicles at auction for the year. However, if you really want to watch your funds grow faster than practically any other legal investment, it might be worth setting your sights north of Maranello to Porsche in Germany. According to research from the Discovery Channel, the 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS is the quickest-appreciating vehicle in the past decade, at least in the UK. In 2004, prices hovered around 65,000 pounds ($101,350 in current money), but buying one today would set you back over 500,000 pounds ($779,600). Rarer lightweight models go for even more. More than just a solid investment, buyers get what is considered to be the ultimate expression of the early 911. Built as a homologation special for racing, Porsche used the classic tactic of fitting a larger engine to boost power to about 210 horsepower while simultaneously cutting weight. A lower front air dam, extended fenders for wider wheels and ducktail spoiler at the back made sure the grip, aero and styling fit the motorsports attitude. You can get a brief taste of what it's like to drive one of these rare Porsches in the video from The Telegraph below. This one is even for sale, with an ambitious price of around 600,000 pounds ($935,000), and it also features legendary racer Derek Bell's autograph on the ashtray. Hopefully the car's eventual buyer remembers that the RS is a fantastic piece to drive, too, and stretches its legs every once in a while.
