RE-LISTED DUE TO NON PAYING BIDDER (jhusard is the eBay handle, beware) WHO COULDN'T ADHERE TO THE SIMPLE POLICY THAT IF YOU HAVE ZERO FEEDBACK (& no money) PLEASE DO NOT BID. HE JUMPED IN LAST MINUTE AND 'WON' THE AUCTION, AND THEN, OF COURSE, VANISHED, AND NEVER RESPONDED OR FOLLOWED THROUGH, MAKING ME LOOK LIKE I'M PLAYING EBAY GAMES, WHICH I AM NOT. I'M SIMPLY TRYING TO SELL A VERY NICE, ORIGINAL PORSCHE 924, TO AN APPRECIATING ENTHUSIAST OR COLLECTOR. SO HERE GOES ROUND TWO...  

You are witnessing a rare opportunity at a true 'time capsule' Porsche 924, from 1978. When released in 1977, the 924 represented not only an entirely new direction for Porsche A.G., but also a number of big firsts for the company as well: First front engine model, first water cooled model, first optional automatic transmission. With the 1978 model year, came complete galvanizing, and comprehensive rust proof protection. At the top of the order, was the rare 'Limited Edition' model, loaded with every modern luxury and amenity available at the time.

The example you are considering today, is among the cleanest, most original, well kept remaining anywhere. It was purchased new at Williams Porsche/VW by Dr. Gordon Devries, and has been owned by he and his family ever since (until this summer). With the vehicle purchase, comes not only the original window sticker, but also the original, hand written bill of sale (see pics). There is even a dash plaque presented from Porsche to Dr. Devries. The vehicle is even still titled in the original owner's name. Dr. Devries enjoyed his 924 on nice days on the short commute from home to the hospital for nearly 30 years before his retirement. It was only ever driven in friendly weather conditions.

Any service and needs were always taken care of promptly through the years, and the 924 has also in the last year had a complete freshening, with new or updated battery, belts, brakes, and any other mechanical needs addressed. We even upgraded to R-134, and now the A/C blows ice cold. The car runs and drives as well as it did in 1978. There are subtle signs of loving use (a couple buffer marks, random scratches and nicks) that come with 35 years of careful use. They help to show the originality of the car.

Early entry level Porsches (non 911 cars!), have shown an interesting pattern in the last several years. From the 912 to the 914, the once shadowed cars have really emerged as valuable and rapidly appreciating assets. Many feel the excellent handling (50/50 balance transaxle set up), and exceptional fuel economy will propel the 924 in value in the near future. The limited number of well kept original cars, will of course make those the catalysts of the curve. In their excellent and comprehensive collector vehicle evaluator, this is what automotive authority Hagerty has to say about the 924: 

"Today, the tables have turned somewhat and to some entry-level collectors, the 924 (particularly those in bright colors with the wild op-art checked “Pasha” interiors) can occasionally be more desirable than the more complex and maintenance-intensive. With fully galvanized bodies after 1977, the 924 can be a durable, simple fun first Porsche. The remaining few good ones are worth seeking out."

The overall amazing original condition, coupled with the single ownership, loving care, and rare limited edition package put this example at the top of the 924 heap. Obtain yours now, before the world catches on to the unique combination of fun, high performance handling and economical value that the 924 represents.   

This is a NO RESERVE auction. High bid takes it, so bid to win & own!

 I encourage all potential buyers to come inspect the car in person prior to buying or bidding. Your bid is a binding contract. Feel free to call me with any questions or for more information. Car condition is subjective. I have owned over 100 Porsches, and am picky about my cars, but potential owners should decide for themselves if this car is for them. Car is sold AS IS, WHERE IS. I reserve the right to end the auction early for any reason. Transportation is ultimately the responsibility of the buyer. International bidders are welcome, but please have U.S. funds and transportation arranged prior to auctions end. Zero or negative feedback bidders please contact me prior to bidding or your bid may be cancelled. Please only bid or offer if you are serious. Finally, feel free to email or call me at 574-361-5315 with any questions, more details, or if you'd like to make an offer. Good luck!

2014 Porsche Panamera Turbo S is a 911 Turbo for the family man

Thu, 21 Nov 2013

In the event that the Porsche Panamera Turbo's 520 horsepower and 189-mile-per-hour top speed aren't enough to sate the appetite of the speed freak, Porsche has just given the auto show debut to the faster, more powerful Panamera Turbo S.
With 570 horsepower being pumped from a 4.8-liter, twin-turbocharged V8, the Panamera Turbo S promises even faster acceleration, hitting 60 mph in 3.6 seconds, a 0.3-second improvement over the standard Turbo. The top speed, meanwhile, climbs to 192 mph, which is kind of ridiculous for a car with four doors and a trunk.
Other enhancements that come with this Panamera's extra syllable include carbon-ceramic brakes and the entirety of Porsche's active chassis systems, including Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control and Porsche Active Suspension Management. The performance goodies come standard, but that doesn't mean the Panamera Turbo S is cheap.

An assortment of emblematic supercars is headed to auction

Sun, Sep 18 2022

Auction house RM Sotheby's is giving enthusiasts the chance to bid on the supercars that they had posters of when they were kids. It's organizing a live sale in Miami, Florida, in December 2022 that's limited to 60 high-end models built between the 1970s and the 2010s. The oldest car in the catalog is a V12-powered 1974 Jaguar E-Type, though keep in mind that only 20 of the 60 available slots have been filled so far. At the other end of the spectrum, the newest model is currently a 2014 BMW M5. If your automotive tastes are firmly anchored in the 1980s, there's a wide selection of cars to choose from such as a 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary Edition and a 1987 Porsche 911 Turbo with a flat-nose conversion. If your heart belongs in the 1990s, RM's sale includes a 1990 Lamborghini LM 002, a 1995 Ferrari 512 M, and a 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo. Bentley models and a 2008 Mercedes-Benz SLR are among the newer classics. Carmakers weren't alone in pursuing speed, style, and extravagance in the 1980s; tuners fought hard for a piece of the pie as well, and RM's sale reflects that. Collectors will get the rare opportunity to bid on a number of pre-merger AMG models like a 1982 Mercedes-Benz 500SL 5.0 (R107), a 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC 6.0 (C126) with a wide-body kit, and a 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL 6.0 (W126). BMW-based Alpina models are well represented, too: RM accepted a pair of 6 Series-based 1987 B7 coupes and a 3 Series-based B6 2.8.  There are several slots left so it's not too late to submit your car. If you're a buyer, plan on being in Miami on December 9 and 10, 2022. We suggest clearing up space in your garage first: every car is offered with no reserve, so the selling price will be the highest bid. Related Video This content is hosted by a third party.

Porsche announces Cayman GT4 with 911 GT3 components

Wed, Feb 4 2015

For years, there's been a debate among Porsche fans about which of its products is a better sports car, the 911 or the Cayman. It would only take a few sentences before those in the Cayman corner said that Porsche wouldn't make the Cayman as good as it could be for fear of overshadowing The Number One Son. We have a feeling these conversations are going to get a lot livelier with the introduction of the Cayman GT4, which pilfers lightly from the 911 Carrera S and heavily from the 911 GT3. On the outside, you can look to its front fascia, wheels, and fixed rear wing, and 30-millimmeter lower ride height for GT3 inspirations. Underneath, there's a 385-horsepower, 3.8-liter flat-six engine amidships, credited as being derived from the Carrera S. While there are those out there still lamenting the fact that the GT3 can only be had with a dual-clutch transmission, the Cayman GT4 "transmits its power solely through a six-speed manual transmission with dynamic gearbox mounts." Yeah. So take that. The extra power reduces the Cayman GT4's 0-to-60 mile per hour sprint to 4.2 seconds, a half second quicker than the 340-hp Cayman GTS, and bumps top speed up to 183 mph. An interesting nugget: Porsche says the Cayman GT4 runs the Nurburgring in seven minutes and 40 seconds, which it credits as the same time run by the 2011 911 GT3. Porsche has never offered a precise time for the current 911 GT3, saying only that it's "under 7:30," and Internet rumor (grab your salt lick) is that the not-yet-introduced GT3 RS has done a 7:20. We don't have all of its details yet – those will come closer to its introduction at the Geneva Motor Show next month – but we're told of a lot more 911 GT3 parts underneath, like the chassis that "consists almost entirely of components from the 911 GT3" and that all of its "technical aspects are based on the 911 GT3." If you want to take it further, the options sheet will include ceramic brakes and carbon fiber bucket seats. This new top-shelf Cayman gets to dealerships in the US in July with a starting price of $84,600 before a $995 destination charge. You'll find a few more bits of info in the press release below. A New Member of Porsche's GT Family The benchmark in its class: the Porsche Cayman GT4 Atlanta, Feb. 3, 2015 - Porsche's GT family is proud to announce the addition of an exciting new member: the Cayman GT4. This is the first Porsche GT sports car based on the Cayman and features components of the 911 GT3.
