This is a super rare 1978 Porsche 924 Limited Edition with only 53k miles!  It is one of only 1800 that were made.  It is a beautiful gray exterior that shines up superb! It has a nice set of cloth insert seats that really hold you in place as you are taking the turns! This 924 is equipped with the original 2.0 Audi motor that produces 125 horsepower and over 125 lbs/torque.  It has a huge sunroof that goes in the trunk and it still has the original bag that it goes in. This car was recently sold  and misrepresented on Ebay as a near museum quality piece and a true survivor.  The car was described as immaculate and flawless etc. and I do not want to mislead the next owner.  I am selling this car for my friend who is simply trying to get back some of the money that was spent on this car.  This car has super potential and truly is in remarkable exterior shape with a nice interior as well but if you are looking for a show car (as he thought he was buying)  this is not for you. She starts right up and idles great after about a minute of "warm-up" time.  The clutch grabs as it should but does feel a little spongy.  the rear hatchback will need the grommets that are sold here on ebay to allow it to have a tighter seal when it is closed. It does not leak to my knowledge.  The tires are great but she does need a set of brake pads front and rear and will in the future be ready for a set of shocks all around.  The windows work great but one of the switches has a mind of its own.  The AC is not working but is fully intact.  I have a German car sickness that I do not want to be cured of-- I am well versed in the 924/944/968 chassis and can tell you that this car is ready to rock and roll with a minimal amount of effort.  My friend knows that he has a rare piece of Porsche history but his family circumstances do not allow him to have a car that needs to be finished.  He was under the assumption he was buying a museum car.  This 924 is a blast to drive and has a great visceral feel without the added weight of the 944 Queenesque "fat-bottomed girl" rear flared fenders.  She revs out like a cat with its tail on fire and is what a sports car used to feel like.  This car is equipped with a manual rack for the steering which puts the driver in total control of the road.  She is truly a point and shoot go-kart for the open road.  The original 924 motor was much maligned as a fake Porsche because of the Audi motor but the ease of maintenance and smiles per gallon that she will provide has proven over time to be a real winner.  The steering wheel is in nice shape but could use a cover or be refinished.  The dash is in nice shape but does have a properly installed coverlay on it. This car is well above a project car but a few notches below a museum car.  It is simply NOT what my friend was trying to purchase.  This car could be used as a great daily driver or a Sunday leisurely cruiser.  If you have always wanted to own a Porsche but have a VW budget this is THE car for you.  I have 100% positive feedback and have honestly tried to disclose all that I know about this wonderfully engineered piece of German automobile history.  The next owner would be proud to have this car in his or her garage.  If you have any questions please ask!  From my previous experience with the 924/944/968 chassis I can tell you that NOTHING is quite like the feeling of meandering down the coast with the top out and Led Zeppelin on the radio . This car was created to carve through the twisties like a hot knife through butter! I wish that I could keep this car for myself. 

 

I am plenty of other photos upon request and please ask if you have any questions.  The reserve on this car is extremely reasonable.

Are you the next Porsche 911 GT3 RS or GT2?

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

Porsche typically keeps to a suitably fast schedule when it comes to rolling out increasingly hard-core performance versions of the 911. After the 997 Carrera debuted in 2004, the GT3 version followed in 2006, and by the end of the 2007, Porsche had rolled out both the GT3 RS and GT2 versions. Then the facelifted 997.5 came out in 2008 and it was back to the start: the GT3 came in 2009, the GT3 RS and GT2 RS in 2010, and the GT3 RS 4.0 in 2011. But things have slowed down some with the latest 991 generation.
The new Carrera came in 2011 and the GT3 followed in 2012. By recent history's example, we should have at least two more hardcore models by now, but we don't. Maybe the engineers in Zuffenhausen have had their hands full fixing the spontaneous-combustion issues with the existing GT3, or maybe their attentions have been focused elsewhere altogether. But if these spy shots are anything to go by, it seems like they're back on the job.
Now we don't know if this prototype foreshadows a new GT3 RS or a GT2, but it sure looks more hard-core than the existing GT3 that many purists have derided as too soft, what with its automatic transmission and four-wheel steering.

Gemballa reveals new Porsche 991-based GT convertible

Sun, 16 Sep 2012

Gemballa went through the ringer last year, but rebounded with products that signal a complete turnaround. The latest is the recently-released Porsche 911 Carrera S with a Gemballa GT aerodynamics and technology package. Aero-wise, it includes carbon fiber additions beginning with a front bumper wearing the classic Gemballa air intake design and a lower, angrier splitter. New side skirts run from wheel to wheel, the final piece being a rear bumper in three sculpted horizontal sections featuring a rear diffuser tucked between six rectangular exhaust tips.
No engine mods have been made, but the technology part of the tune - springs that are 30 millimeters shorter yet still able to work with the PASM system - is claimed to make the car faster. Bringing things to a halt is a new Brembo brake system hiding behind 21-inch GForged wheels that are lighter than Porsche's standard 20-inchers.
The Gemballa GT aero kit runs €19,860 ($26,070 U.S.), which includes paint and installation if you happen to be in Germany, and we're assuming that includes the suspension modification, brakes and sport exhaust. The GForged wheels are another €9,895 ($12,989 U.S.) depending on your choice of tire. Check out the press release below for more info, and the photo gallery above for all the angles.

Autoblog Unplugged: 2015 Porsche 911 Targa 4S

Tue, Feb 10 2015

The day began cold and clear. It felt like a perfect late autumn afternoon to flog the 2015 Porsche 911 Targa 4S on the backroads west of Detroit. So it seemed, anyway. An impromptu snow squall came out of nowhere, dampening the roads and our spirits, though the latter quickly were lifted as we began putting our German sports car through its paces. Quite simply, the 911 Targa 4S is up for almost everything. The all-wheel-drive system kept us poised and secure – it takes a bit to unsettle this 911 when all four wheels are clawing at the pavement. We still had 400 horsepower on tap, which is a riot to channel via the seamless PDK gearbox in any condition. Yes, this is a Targa, so even in the snow we dropped the top, cranked the seat heaters and had a heck of a good time. It's hard not to when you're motoring in something that starts at more than $120,000. Still, weather in Michigan can throw anyone a curve. We dealt with it, and luckily, you don't have to. In this Autoblog Unplugged you get all the good stuff. The purr and whine of the engine. Up-close shots of the Targa as it tackles the road – and best of all – no talking. Unplugs are all about driving. Thus, we'll shut up. Please enjoy.
