This is a no reserve auction for a 1977 Porsche 924 Martini & Rossi edition.  Approximately 3000 of the cars were produced to commemorate Porsche’s racing victories in the previous years with a plaque on the center console of the car to this end.


This particular car was originally sold in Portland Oregon in 1977 and then purchased by the previous owner in 1978 and brought back to Seattle Washington where it spent the remainder of it’s life until I purchased the car last year and brought it back home to Portland.


Exterior and Body:


The body is in decent condition for a car of this age.  There is no major rust anywhere to be found although there are some dings and touchups that have been done over the years.  It looks to have been repainted at some point in its original color.  As can be seen in the photos, the front valence is worn and there are some rock chips on the hood where there is some minor surface rust.


Interior:


The interior is all original down to the Blaupunkt 8-track tape player and is in fantastic condition.  The seats and carpet still have a deep red hue and look great.  The original leather steering wheel is still with the car as well.  The dash is cracked in places as can be seen in the photos but other than that it looks almost new.


Mechanical:


The car runs, drives, stops, and shifts through all the gears.  I drive the car on the weekends and have not had any issues.  There are no fluid leaks since replacing the oil pan gasket, no smoke, and the car starts right up.  Since picking up the car I had the following done by an independent Porsche shop.


Replaced oil pan gasket, oil filter, fuel filter, and oil change.

Replaced Timing belt and tensioner.

Replaced engine mounts with new ones from vibra-technics.

Replaced headlamp relay and switches so headlights are now fully functioning.

New Toyo tires all around.


Everything works on the car other than the odometer which stopped at 102892 miles.  The previous owner guessed that about 20000 miles were put on since then but I cannot verify so mileage is unknown.


Other:


The car has had the EGR equipment disabled or removed.  The buyer must do due diligence to understand the emissions requirements for their state.  The car passed Oregon emissions and has current tags good through November 2015.


Buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements.  The car is located in Portland Oregon.  This is a 37 year old car and has not undergone any type of complete restoration either mechanical or cosmetic.  The car is being sold As Is.


I have a clean and clear title for the car and original manuals.  A 500 dollar deposit is due within 24 hours of the auction end and the balance is due within
7 days of auction end.  Please ask any and all questions before bidding.


This is a nice original example of this edition and an interesting part of Porsche’s history.  Good luck and happy bidding.

10 most memorable cars and SUVs of 2019

Tue, Dec 24 2019

It's no surprise that a car reviewer will drive a large number of cars over the course of a year. Indeed, when the clock strikes midnight on Dec 31, I will have driven 75 new cars, trucks and SUV this year (and one old Peugeot) over the course of weekly evaluation loans and first drive events. That sure seems like a lot. Some definitely got more attention than others, and some came and went without leaving much of an impression – I completely forgot I drove a Kia Forte. Yet in the spirit of this day, I thought I'd pick the 10 that I would love to see under the Christmas tree tomorrow morning. You know, just in case you were looking to get me something. I'll also throw in a couple disappointments that were memorable for the wrong reasons. They'd get sent back to the store on Boxing Day. Lexus LC 500 Pictured below and resplendent in its Flare Yellow metallic paint, the car that would reach highest on my list is the divine Lexus LC 500. As a devout lover of GT cars, the LC ticks all the boxes. Muscular and characterful engine? V8, check. Beautifully made and memorable interior? It's gorgeous, to hell with Remote Touch. Check. Comfortable and reasonably practical? Superb seats and, uh, yeah. Makes me want to stand there and stare at it? You bet. Though I long figured my heart would say LC but my head "Porsche 911," after this go-around, that's no longer the case. LC, pretty please. 2020-lexus-lc500-f34-2 View 19 Photos Polestar 1 I actually feel lucky that I got to drive the Polestar 1. Only 150 will be produced each year, and it's a far more special thing than it would initially appear. And that's despite initially appearing to be a beautiful, classic two-door GT car with a roof so rakish it's only possible because it's made of carbon fiber. That itÂ’s a massively powerful plug-in hybrid with more all-electric range than any other PHEV is a thick dollop of whipped cream on a slice of Toscakaka. You know, Swedish dessert, Swedish car. Fine, I'll stick to Ikea references.  Polestar1_Launch_SanFrancisco-0014 View 44 Photos Volvo V60 Cross Country Speaking of Sweden, did I drive this car off the road there? Sure did! And despite this, the V60 Cross Country scratches that certain wagon itch and looks sensational to boot. I wish it were available with the T8 plug-in hybrid powertrain, but it's best not to get greedy at Christmas.

Porsche undecided on new 911 GT2 [w/poll]

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

Fans of hardcore 911s had it pretty good with the last 997 generation. There was the GT3, GT3 RS, GT3 RS 4.0, GT2 and GT2 RS (pictured above). Each one was faster, more powerful and more expensive than the one below it, but what they all shared was what Porsche purists love most: rear engine, rear drive, a manual transmission and little else.
So far with the new 991, Porsche has only released a GT3 version. Sure, there have been other models, but they're all decidedly more luxurious and less performance-focused. And as impressive a machine as the new GT3 is, it has run the risk of alienating some of its most ardent fanatics with technological interference in the form of a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and four-wheel steering. So what those purists have really been looking forward to is a more hardcore GT3 RS or new GT2. But those may not be coming so quickly.
Speaking with 911 project chief August Achleitner, Car and Driver reports that a new GT2 is anything but a foregone conclusion. The reasons may be partially political, but could be technical in nature as well: with 560 horsepower driving all four wheels, the new 911 Turbo S runs the 0-60 in less than three seconds. Give it more power but less traction, as Porsche has done with past GT2s, and you may not end up seeing an actual improvement in performance. A GT2 that's slower than the Turbo S would be difficult to explain.

Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.
