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!

Porsche Cayenne spied unconstrained by camouflage

Thu, 05 Jun 2014

Meet the facelifted Porsche Cayenne. Our eagle-eyed spy shooters captured this example of Porsche's freshened SUV virtually devoid of camo, giving us our clearest look yet at what the eventual mid-cycle work will do to the strong-selling Cayenne.
The overall changes do, indeed, look minor, with a reprofiled intake being the most obvious item. The headlights are still covered, so we don't know what kind of jeweling has been done, but the shape does appear identical to the current model. Overall, the changes appear totally in line with a mid-cycle refresh.
As we explained previously, a plug-in Cayenne is on the way. It will join a crop of engines that is likely to be similar to what's on offer today, with naturally aspirated, turbocharged, hybrid and diesel variants released over time.

Porsche tells 2014 911 GT3 owners to park their cars pending inspection

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

Porsche may have have a serious problem on its hands. After a rumored five 2014 911 GT3 coupes caught fire in recent weeks, Porsche launched an investigation and stopped delivering its road-ready racecar until it could diagnose the problem. Now, it has issued a press release asking all 2014 911 GT3 owners to immediately stop driving their cars until they can be inspected. Porsche is offering to pick up the cars from owners' homes and take them to the nearest dealer.
Porsche confirms that the at least two 911 GT3 coupes them have caught fire in Europe, and it has elected to inspect all 785 2014 GT3s worldwide. However, it claims no drivers have been injured in the fires. Unfortunately, Porsche says, "Internal studies to determine the cause of the engine damage have not been completed yet," so owners might have a bit of a wait before they are able to drive Porsche's ultimate 911 again. Scroll down to read the entire press release.
