I tried my best to keep it all original stock, but a few items had to be updated and replaced. This includes, but not limited to, incredibly comfortable wrap-around leather seats from a newer 911, new Brimbo brakes, all around, that will throw you thru the windsheild, radio and speakers, clutch, and front windshield. Items that were inspected while the car was stripped were replaced, such as all the weather stripping, carpet, fuses and fuse box, and headlights. Gone is the antennae, headlight washers, and rear wiper. The transmission was rebuilt while I had it out for the complete re-paint, and the engine had work on it 10k or so miles ago. Very, very fast. Very, very reliable. Could be a daily driver. I take it out on the back roads every 2 weeks or so. Drives like it's on rails. She's a beast.

I had the rear spoiler changed to the 3.8 RS version. Why? Because I wanted to; it fits tight and is proportionally perfect. The original whale tale spoiler will, of course, come with the car, minus the rubber gasket, and is being painted the same yellow as we speak if you choose to swap out. I chose 'Ferrari Fly Yellow' because it's a deep yellow that really jumps out. Almost a mirror finish. It is not subtle. I'm having a few chips on the front repaired. You will also receive the remaining unused paint for touch ups. It is flawless, but unfortunately, not all original stock. Never wrecked, never tracked, and never seen rain or snow. I do keep all my records. I am the 3rd owner. Don't hesitate to ask questions. If they're too technical for me, I'll ask my mechanic. This was his 24th Porsche 911 rebuild, and currently a race instructor, and races on many weekends. Very capable crew with him, too. 

Non-refundable Paypal down payment of $5k is due within 5 business days. The remainder due can fit your time schedule, within reason, up to 60 days or so. I'm retiring in 5 years, so I'm in no hurry to part ways. 

Thanks
George

Porsche 911 Targa leaks out ahead of Detroit debut

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

With the doors of Cobo Center opening for the 2014 Detroit Auto Show this morning, Porsche is set to reveal its new 911 Targa in a matter of hours. But before it gets the chance, the first batch of images have already leaked out, courtesy of Chinese car site autohome.com.cn.
As expected, the new Targa appears to ditch the complex sliding glass roof panels that adorned recent versions of the semi-convertible 911 in favor of a more back-to-basics approach. An entirely removable roof panel opens up the sky, backed by a metallic B-pillar hoop in front of a large curved-glass rear window.
We'll have to wait just a little longer for the full scope of images and all the official details, but we're expecting the new Targa to carry most of the same technical specifications as the 991 on which it's based. Watch this space for more.

Porsche considering X6-style Cayenne coupe

Mon, 05 May 2014

It was practically unthinkable when Porsche introduced the Cayenne in 2002. An SUV... from Porsche? Purists balked, but customers flocked, and the Cayenne propelled the its holding company into such profitability that it practically took over the entire Volkswagen Group. It's now been twelve years since the original Cayenne arrived as the first production Porsche with more than two doors, and Zuffenhausen has since followed up with the Panamera, the Macan and the second-generation Cayenne. But it isn't about to stop there.
The latest intel coming in from overseas suggests that Porsche is in the advanced stages of designing a slant-back, five-door Cayenne coupe to take on the likes of the BMW X6 and upcoming Mercedes-Benz MLC. Though the business case (however solid BMW may have already demonstrated it to be) is still being considered, if approved it would join the upcoming third-generation Cayenne on the production line in Leipzig as early as 2018 - a year after the new Cayenne itself is expected to arrive.
The Cayenne coupe would share much with the more conventional MkIII Cayenne (and for that matter the next Audi Q7 and VW Touareg as well as the Lamborghini Urus and Bentley Falcon) but differentiate itself with a more stylish (if less practical) roofline and an altogether sportier attitude. Autocar reports that the design calls for tauter sheetmetal and sportier cabin inspired by the 918 Spyder. Pricing would be positioned a good 15-20 percent higher than the regular Cayenne, and the "coupe" version would likely be offered with most, if not all of the engines available in the conventional version - including gasoline, diesel, turbo and possibly even hybrid options ranging all the way up to the 550-horsepower Turbo S.

Can a Corvette really be compared to a 911 with options costing more than the Chevy?

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

In this latest video from Drive, Chris Harris asks straight away, "Can you still compare a base Corvette to a Porsche Carerra?" That's an particularly interesting question in this film, as the 911 in question is a 400-horsepower Carrera S model that's been fitted with $60,000 in options. Base price of a Corvette Stingray? $51,995. Harris' tester features an automatic and some other goodies that push it right up to that $60,000 range. So yes, the options on the Porsche cost as much as this entire 460-hp Chevrolet.
Harris stresses that this isn't a full review, but he does exercise both cars in a more composed manner before reverting to his traditionally exuberant driving style. The impressions are, as always, spot on, with Harris favoring the pointy nature and V8 power of the Stingray, while enjoying the gearbox (Porsche's exceptional PDK transmission) and just about everything else on the 911.
Take a look below for the latest video from Drive, and let us know if you agree with Mr. Harris' views on these two sports cars.
