Vehicle History:
I purchased this car in 2011 repaired and partially restored it. The car had been sitting in a driveway for several years. I am the third owner of this vehicle. As far as I know the original owner had the car from new until around 2003. The second owner purchased the vehicle and had issues passing inspection because at the time it was not old enough to be registered as a classic. Some time around 2004  the car was parked and sat until I purchased it. The miles are approximate, the odometer is stuck at 35k. I believe the milage on this vehicle is accurate because the pervious owner had maintenance records and inspection documents from 2003-2004 with milage recorded. 

Vehicle Condition:
The car is over all a very nice example  of the year are model. 

Engine: 
Runs  well and is complete. I changed fluids, some belts, hoses, fuel filters, plugs and had porsche mechanic replace warm up regulator so the car will start on even the coldest morning.

Transmission:
It has a 5 speed manual trans which I believe was a new option in 1979 and an improvement over the original 4 speed. The car does shift in and out of all the gears. The clutch is original, but in very good working order.

Restoration that has been completed:

Exterior:
The car had minor surface rust on the roof and hood as well as some paint cracking on the passenger side. I sanded the roof, hood, and passenger side down  to metal primed and repainted original color dark gray. The driver side of the car is still the original paint it is not perfect but it does match the new paint pretty nicely. The car looks nice and can be driven as is.

Interior:
I replaced the carpet through out the vehicle as it was very worn and badly faded. I recovered the steering wheel with a black leather kit. I Installed a dash cover as the original dash board was cracked. The original radio was broken so I replaced it with a Alpine CD player.

The car has new battery, a set of four new Michelin tires, and a new seal around the sunroof. I did the work on the car with my dad and now would like to sell it to purchase a new  and more reliable vehicle for daily use. I haven't  driven the car much It is currently registered in PA as an Antique. I did drive the car from New Jersey to PA about 100 miles and had no issues. The car is fun to drive and pretty good on gas. You could spend more time, and relatively little effort to get the car perfect, or you could drive it as is.

I live in PA. I am open for  anyone local to stop by and see the car in person. For out of state buyers, you are responsible for your own transportation costs involved in getting the vehicle.

I reserve the right to end the sale early and sell privately as I do have the car listed else where.

I am happy to answer any questions.

All the crazy stuff we saw at McCall's Motorworks Revival

Thu, Aug 18 2016

Every year, Gordon McCall puts on a lavish event packed with rare cars and planes (and the type of people that can afford rare cars and planes). And every year, more ridiculous stuff shows up. It's the good kind of machine overload. It's likely the only place in the world where you'll see a line of BMW 3.0s next to some Paganis next to a Porsche 911 by Singer Design next to a Ferrari salt racer next to a custom Olds Riviera next to the latest from Koenigsegg next to he coolest stuff Shelby ever made next to a hangar filled with McLarens, including a few P1 GTRs. And then all of that is surrounded by private jets, fighters, and planes that could have flown in directly from WWII. In a word, it's insane. Walk through the gallery above to get a taste for what was there this year for the event's 25th anniversary.

Hamann Porsche Macan S Diesel promises more performance, questionable looks

Wed, Mar 4 2015

Ignore the Gulf Oil livery for a minute (we know, it's hard). What we have under the blue-and-orange paint scheme is a diesel-powered Porsche Macan S, which is fascinating enough in and of itself. But this particular example has been upgraded by the folks at Hamann, for that added bit of oomph. Power output from the 3.0-liter V6 diesel is up from 258 horsepower to 300 hp. We buy diesels for torque, though, so it's the 494 pound-feet, up from 427 lb-ft, that really gets us excited about this modded Porsche. Taken together, the Hamann Macan S Diesel can hit 60 miles per hour in a decidedly un-diesel-like 5.7 seconds, down from 6.1 seconds. German tuners like Hamann are not known for their subtlety, of course, so beyond the power ugprades, the company has made its own aesthetic tweaks. The new body kit is, um, aggressive? Okay, it's really not very nice to look at. The Macan is a handsome vehicle on its own, but Hamann's efforts haven't done it any favors. It's extremely busy, particularly around the front and rear ends, where the tuning company's efforts seem focused. We're guessing some attention has been paid to the cabin, although it's impossible to tell on the Geneva show car, which has had all of its windows heavily tinted. Here's hoping any changes to Macan's cleanly styled cabin are kept to a minimum. Take a look at our full crop of live photos of the modded Macan, direct from the floors of the Geneva Motor Show. High-performance power, long-distance comfort, extravagance: the benchmark figures of the formidable Porsche Macan S Diesel are impressive. For all fans of the dynamic vehicle Hamann's tuning experts now sets the bar even higher. As is generally known, the model's name "Macan" was derived from the Indonesian word for tiger – and exactly this tiger Hamann frees from the ties of a series actor. The face of the Macan, which Hamann presents in the S Diesel version in Geneva, has self-confident traits. The tiger seems ready to jump – an effect achieved by the low line of the front apron and the lowering of the car. Hamann's aerodynamics attachment emphasises the sharp "teeth" of the Macan Turbo's standard front and sets distinctive accents. The car refiner's interpretation of the Macan S Diesel appears well-toned and is coherently continued in powerfully shaped wing extensions making the predator's body grow by twelve centimetres in width.

Porsche says next Cayenne will be faster than Bentley Bentayga

Fri, Jan 23 2015

Bentley and Porsche are both high-end marques under the same umbrella, and may even be collaborating on development of new models – but while they tend to take different approaches and go after different customers, that doesn't mean they can't share a bit of sibling rivalry. And that spirit of competition – even within the Volkswagen Group – looks to be coming to a head in the form of their upcoming luxury performance crossovers. For his part, Bentley CEO Wolfgang Durheimer promises that the brand's upcoming Bentayga sport-ute will (in its top spec with the W12 engine) be the fastest SUV on the market. But in speaking with Car and Driver, Wolfgang Hatz – who holds the Porsche R&D head office that Durheimer used to occupy – says the Bentley won't be king for long. Porsche just released the new Cayenne Turbo S in Detroit, touting it as the first SUV to crack the eight-minute barrier at the Nurburgring. And Hatz says that the next version will be even faster. "Our Cayenne is always very very quick. It is doing 300 km/h [186 mph]. I think if [Durheimer] is doing 2 to 3 km/h more, then why not? He's doing that with a 12-cylinder. Our car will be much quicker on the road." The next Cayenne is slated to use a new generation of engines, and according to Hatz, will benefit from the same (if not more) weight loss as the new Audi Q7 with which it will share its platform. That sounds like a winning combination to us. That is, at least, for fans of performance crossovers. For those who aren't, Porsche promises it won't be bolstering its lineup with any new ones. Apparently the Cayenne and the smaller Macan are enough. Nor will Zuffenhausen slot anything bigger than a V6 into the Macan, according to the report. While Porsche's baby crossover will surely continue to get faster with new iterations, the Cayenne will always remain the performance flagship of its SUV range.
