Vehicle has a Chalon kit installed by the previous owner with dark grey exterior color, paint condition is not one of the best but very presentable with some minor blemishes as any used vehicle has. The engine is a 2.0 litter, 4 cyl. with 5 spd. manual transmission; engine is running very strong with transmission shifted smoothly and without grinding, no leaks from either the engine or the transmission. Suspension system is very solid at every sharp cornering with speed and very stable at normal driving; and, I was told by the previous owner that it was beefed up for crossroad although there was no record for such modifications. Car has all tires at approximate 80%-90% new since I only use it as a weekend driver and the furthest trip taken is around 60 miles one way; all mounted on the polished 912 Fuchs: the front tires are Nankang 205/50/R15, rear tires are Dunlop 245/50/ZR15. Black vinyl seats are in good condition with the exception of the drive-side seat has two tears in the seat cushion, along the seams; black carpet is in very good condition and will last another while; dash board has dash-cap installed by the previous owner and has a crack in it; the removable targa top is in good condition with new seal installed last year; door panels are in good condition; door lock on the passenger side needs some work since it has to be locked from the outside and open from the inside; cup-holder installed on both sides; quick-released steering wheel installed as an additional theft protection device; removable cd/radio with blue tooth capability installed; new battery with quick disconnect installed; new tag will be paid and good until 9/2014 as it being listed; major tune was done last year by a Porsche mechanic.

It's a very good, fun and reliable classic vehicle that I do not want to part from but now I want to move on to a 914 V8 conversion. For what it is, my reserved price is fairly low. I am located in Southern California, it can be inspected anytime from Friday through Sunday with appointment. For out of state buyers, please note that shipping is your responsibility and my address will only be given for pickup upon winning of the bid and payment verification. 
The descriptions above are based on my best knowledge regarding the vehicle's conditions as an owner and daily driver of it though I am not a mechanic. Please ask any question you may have prior to bidding to avoid unnecessary problems at the auction's end.  
Thank you for viewing my auction and happy bidding.

Chris Harris brings together the 918 Spyder, LaFerrari, and P1

Sat, Nov 21 2015

The Porsche 918 Spyder, Ferrari LaFerrari, and McLaren P1 show that a hybrid powertrain can make for blistering performance despite its electric assist. This trio doesn't arrive on track together very often, but Chris Harris assembled these three stars at the Portimao circuit for a nearly hour-long demonstration of their amazing capabilities. So, which one is quickest around the track? Harris provides an answer with in-car video of all three contenders. His team also goes out of its way to even the playing field by sourcing tires independently from Pirelli for the P1 and LaFerrari. With the technical part out of the way, Harris can start having fun by doing his usual slides during the driving comparison. Tiff Needell and Marino Franchitti also eventually show up to provide the perfect recipe for a track battle in these hypercars. If you don't have the time, skip about 14:25 into the clip just to see the lap times. However, those numbers only tell a tiny part of the story. The whole video is definitely worth a watch.

Roger Rodas' widow suing Porsche over Carrera GT crash

Tue, 13 May 2014


Investigations undertaken by local law enforcement may have vindicated Porsche from any wrongdoing in the crash that killed actor Paul Walker and racing driver Roger Rodas last year, but the latter's widow is apparently not convinced. According to emerging reports, Kristine Rodas has filed a lawsuit seeking unspecified damages from Porsche Cars North America.
In her suit filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court, Rodas' attorney Mark Geragos reportedly disputes the findings of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, which asserted that the vehicle was traveling at an unsafe speed of 90 miles per hour on city streets, identifying the speed as the cause of the accident. Instead the lawsuit claims that the vehicle was only going 55 mph and that the cause of the crash was improper equipment - namely a faulty right rear suspension and the lack of a crash cage and proper fuel tank.

Mon, 03 Sep 2012


After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.
