1987 Porsche 924S
Bought new In Dallas in 1987 and has been a Texas car from Day 1... Short history: Was a 1 owner from new until about 2009...Then it was sold to a local gentleman who parked it. I bough the car from him a few months ago. The "Poor man's Porsche"...The 924S, with the same 2.5L engine as the 944! I don't know how many people have asked me if I "Autocross" in my Porsche...From my reserach the 924S is highly sought out for autocross racing, it's handling and gearing is legend for that type of competition. GOOD: FU FU FUN TO DRIVE! ALL ORIGINAL, the only custom touches are the K&N filter and the speaker covers. Original "Phone dial" wheels! Handles like a dream...shifts sweet through all 5 gears and keeps climbing. Driving the 924 is great...the 924S is super great. 80s icon. I've been driving the car regularly for about 3 months now and have had no problems and have been amazed by the handling and mileage of this 87 model! BAD: The rear hatch seal is old and has some spots where water will leak. Motor mounts are the original ones and will need replacing soon. The rear hatch vinyl cover, that covers belonging in the rear hatch area, is inoperable...It operates much like a window blind. I have the shade/cover, it is just not installed now. The tires has a bit of weather cracking. There are the normal amount of rock chip spots on the front for an '87 model...easily covered up. Since I bought the car, I've: Replaced rear brakes. Flushed and replaced brake fluid. Charged AC compressor. Had timing belt checked and adjusted (passed) Had wear torn front 2 seats repaired with new vinyl/foam/stictching. Replaced front 2 speakers (have rear 2 speakers but they are not installed yet...they come with the car) Replaced shocks/hinges on hatch. Replaced shock/hinges on hood. Replaced all exterior lightbulbs. Had interior carpet/seats/dash detailed. Still have plans to install the rear speakers and tint the windows. The car is listed locally and I may end this auction if it sells. |

1949 Gm?nd Porsche shows the birth of an icon
Fri, 21 Mar 2014The Austrian village of Gmünd is more than just difficult to pronounce; it's also the birthplace of the Porsche brand. Before the company ever started building sports cars at its current home base near Stuttgart, the fledgling business completed several vehicles in the tiny town in Southern Austria. In this video, former Pikes Peak International Hill Climb champion Jeff Zwart takes a look at a 1949 Gmünd coupe to see how the company has evolved since its earliest days.
The thing to note about the Gmünd-built Porsches is their absolute design simplicity. The phrase "form follows function" gets bandied around a lot, but it really means something when you look at these early cars. However, the minimalism was partially out of necessity. The vehicles were meant to be sporty but certainly weren't rockets. Power came courtesy of a modified Volkswagen Beetle engine, and anything extraneous would have slowed the models down. Scroll down to watch Zwart go back in time to Porsche's beginnings.
Russian President Putin's new limo makes debut ahead of 2017 production
Tue, Apr 5 2016What's the best way to ignore an international money-laundering scandal that's allegedly revealed your link to $2 billion in off-shore accounts? Why yes, you get a new car. While information from the so-called Panama Papers is still being uncovered, Russian President Vladimir Putin's new Russian-made ride has been unveiled. Unlike US President Barack Obama's Cadillac-badged Beast, Putin's Kortezh will be available to any Russian that has the means. A total of 5,000 will be built in four different styles – limo, sedan, SUV, and minivan – although only 200 will roll off production lines next year, Sputnik News reports. Deliveries are expected to start in late 2017, while assembly will carry on through 2020, the Moscow Times reports. Commerce and Industry Minister Denis Mantrurov confirmed that Porsche has been brought in to help develop the Kortezh's powertrain. Whether that engine ends up being the turbocharged V12 we reported on way back in October 2014 isn't clear, though. Regardless of what's sitting under that long hood, we're betting it's going to be extremely powerful. Putin will likely take delivery of the Kortezh in 2017. Related Video:
