I have owned this 924 for around 4 years, and bought it as a project to fix up and drive on weekends for fun. I am selling it because I have medical issues that prevent me from further working on the car. The car gets compliments, looks good for its age, and is fun to drive. It's not the fastest car, and it's an automatic, so it's better suited for Sunday drives than the racetrack. It does handle corners well, however. The paint is faded and the clear coat is wearing off on the roof, but is not noticeable until you are close to the car. There is one area of rust in front of the passenger side door. This is a list of some of the things that have been done to the car since I have owned it:
New front brakes and calipers New muffler and exhaust work Aftermarket stereo with Alpine, MB Quart, and JL Audio components. Custom sub box replacing rear seat (the back seats in these cars is really a joke) New (refurbished) Alternator New (refurbished) Starter New fuel pump. The car had new tires on it when I bought it and they are still pretty new. It has had the engine replaced (by previous owner) with an engine from a like year and model. The car was maintained well by the previous owner and engine work was done by a professional shop. I have had the brake and exhaust work done at reputable local shops. I have stored the car in a garage during winters. I haven't been able to drive or work on it due to health issues and it has recently been taken out of storage after sitting for a year. I had a mechanic check the brakes and the fronts are still new and the rears have been adjusted. It runs well. The only issue is that the aftermarket alarm (installed by a local shop) is not functioning correctly. The immobilizer circuit isn't functioning correctly and has been bypassed. The rest of the alarm is still connected and either needs to be repaired or removed. I have driven the car over the last couple weeks a number of times up to 30 miles at a time and it runs fine, but with the alarm installed and not working correctly, sometimes you have to disable the alarm numerous times before it will start. For this reason I wouldn't attempt to drive the car regularly until the alarm issue is sorted out. If you intend to drive the car home, I would at least have someone in another car follow you home. A great resource for 924 owners is: http://www.924.org/ A Haynes manual and wiring diagram for the alarm will be included along with whatever paperwork I have on the service history. A couple things that should be mentioned: *The vacuum accumulator for the EGR valve is leaking so it has been bypassed. This does not affect how the car runs, but if you need to pass an emissions test, you may want to repair the leak. *There is a push button installed to manually activate the cold start valve/injector. Sometimes this injector shuts off before the car has warmed up and you may need to activate the circuit if you plan to use the car in cold weather. I have not had to use it, but have before it was installed had to wait the 15-20 minutes for the valve thermostat to reset before I could start the car. The switch just bypasses the thermostat and activates the injector. *In heavy rain, the seal to the sunroof will leak if parked on an incline. It doesn't seem to pool when the car is level. Disclaimer/payment info: This car is being sold as is. I have explained the condition of the car to the best of my ability. This car is 36 years old and I am not providing any warranty of any type. The auction winner must pay a non-refundable $100 deposit within 24 hrs. of the end of the auction or the vehicle will be re-listed. The winner has 7 days to both pay the remainder of the winning bid and take possession of the vehicle after the auction ends or the vehicle will be re-listed. Accepted forms of payment are paypal (make sure you have the proper spending limit), cash, and cashier's check, or some combination of the three payment types. |

Porsche wants you to 3D print your own Cayman
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Have you got access to a 3D printer? Well lucky you, because as we're rapidly learning, the possibilities are virtually endless. And if your tastes lean towards the automotive (as we'd assume they do if you're reading this page), we've got good news.
Porsche has just released 3D printing data for the Cayman S so you can three-dimensionally print out your own and customize to your heart's content. Now Porsche hasn't specified just to what scale the data will allow you to print your Cayman, but we have a feeling that'd mostly be limited by the size of the printer at your disposal. Check it out in the video below and follow the link to the Porsche site to download the file.
Magnus Walker soliloquizes in his Porsche 911 at night
Fri, 23 Aug 2013Magnus Walker, a prolific Los Angeles clothing designer who has also carved out a respected spot for himself in Porsche world, has had yet another video made about him and his sizable Porsche collection. In this latest video, Hong Kong-based Obscura magazine focuses its video cameras on Walker and his 1971 Porsche 911 track car (yes, the one that appeared on Jay Leno's Garage) as he speeds around Downtown LA and Little Tokyo late at night.
We've heard Walker's story many times before. He's not like the average Porsche owner, perhaps a tad more passionate than most, and he builds 911s like he designs clothes: his way. Sure, we might be a little envious, but can you blame us? View this very slick and entertaining nighttime video entitled Disturbing The Peace below.
Exclusive: The first Porsche 911 Targa restored by Singer
Wed, Jun 24 2015We love Singer. Frankly, if you're a Porsche guy, or just a car guy, and have seen any of the Porsche 911s that have been restored and "reimagined" by the Californian company, you probably do too. So you can imagine our excitement in getting an exclusive first full look at the latest Porsche 911 restored by Singer. The car you seen in the photographs above is a special thing beyond the obsessive Singer restoration treatment. It's the first Targa the company has ever restored. Plus, this car is one of the first with a modified 4.0-liter flat-six, making around 390 horsepower and 315 pound-feet of torque. With a body clad mostly in carbon fiber, the ultra-lightweight Targa is as modern under the skin as it is retro to the casual observer. The liquid-pewter beauty makes its debutant turn tomorrow at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. We sat down with Singer founder, Rob Dickinson, to pick his brain about the new Targa, where his love of Porsches started, and about the punk-rock car company he's building in SoCal. Autoblog: Tell us a little bit about the car. It's a 911 Targa, obviously, but tell us about what's special beyond that. Rob Dickinson: This is the first time one of our clients has requested that we restore his Targa rather than his coupe and so we did. We always had hopes that we could get our fingers on a Targa and it's the first of a few that are coming down the line now, such that you'll see the second one at Pebble Beach in August. It's basically a faithful rendition of the work that we do on the coupes. The Targa presents us with new challenges, but also an opportunity to add our jewelry to the car. Obviously, that iconic Targa hoop – that was rendered in stainless steel on the original 911s in '65 – we now render that in nickel, which is I guess part of our calling card, our signature. All the brightwork we do on the coupes is in nickel and we're following that principle with the Targas as well. Just for the sake of injecting a little bit of uniqueness into the Targa hoop, we render it with two cool, air-filtering louvers, rather than three, which the early 911 had. Which we thought was a cute little touch that is somewhat different from the early 911s and very different from the later 964, which didn't have any louvers in it at all. AB: That's Porsche nerdiness in the extreme. In a good way. RD: Thank you, yeah. It's one of those things that won't be noticed by many but will be noticed by a few, and that's an insider's thing.
