1983 Porsche 944 for PARTS or RESTORATION... I Purchased this car for $4500 off eBay in St. Louis on a "whim" in 2005. I had a new timing belt installed as well as the crankshaft and balance shaft seals replaced by Kauth & Mayeur in Ill. (I have original receipt) The rear halfshafts were also replaced at this time. (I have original receipt) I drove the vehicle home without issue and parked it in my barn. The car has less than 90,000 miles on her, and I even have the original Carfax from the original sales date! I had front seats reupolstered per the photo, but a long series of family related issues occupied my time and prevented me from further restoring the car. I have started the car periodically and the engine sounds good! Items have deteriorated from sitting, so I am selling this "as is" for PARTS or RESTORATION...
KNOWN ISSUES:
New tires have cracked from sitting
Bad rear brake calipers
Steering rack is frozen
Dent on hood
Dent on lower area of driver's side front fender
Hatch lock is broken
"VEHICLE IS SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH NO WARRANTY OR IMPLIED OR EXPRESSED"
I have paid the Rhode Island State Sales tax on the vehicle but never registered it. I can and will if buyer deems it necessary and will cover the additional expense ($50.00).
VEHICLE IS LOCATED IN RHODE ISLAND AND MUST BE TRANSPORTED BY PURCHASER.
PAYPAL ONLY PLEASE IMMEDIATELY WHEN AUCTION ENDS.
MY LOSS IS YOUR GAIN!!!

Driving the million-mile Porsche 356
Fri, 30 Aug 2013Maybe you've seen or heard about the Porsche 356 with almost one-million miles (though it doesn't look like it), but Petrolicious finally has produced a video to show us what it's like to drive the 982,000-mile car. Guy Newmark's beautiful, dark-blue 1964 356C looks great in motion - much better than in photos - and serves to remind us not only what meticulous car care can do for old classics, but that old Porsches were built to last.
So how fastidious is Newmark about maintaining it? He takes the car to his mechanic of 40 years every 3,000 miles for an oil change and to fix anything that needs attention.
Newmark says his 356 "is everything you could want," and that he finds errands to do just to go drive it. We would, too. The next-best thing is to watch the inspiring video below of the well-traveled Porsche.
Porsche Panamera gets new diesel in time for Frankfurt
Tue, 03 Sep 2013Diesel may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Porsche, but in the European market - that vital one which Porsche calls home - diesels are indispensable. Particularly when you're trying to extend beyond niche sports cars and into the mainstream luxury sedan market as Zuffenhausen has with the Panamera. In fact, diesels account for 15 percent of Panamera sales worldwide (even though they're not offered Stateside), so to keep oil-burning customers happy, Porsche has announced a series of upgrades.
Set to be unveiled in the flesh at the fast-approaching Frankfurt Motor Show, the new Panamera Diesel packs 300 horsepower. That's 50 hp (or 20 percent) more than the model it replaces, significantly dropping the 0-62 sprint from 6.8 seconds to 6 flat, and raising top speed from 152 miles per Autobahn-crunching hour to 161. While they were at it, Porsche's engineers also fitted the rear differential with torque vectoring (previously reserved for gasoline-burning models) and retuned the transmission and suspension.
You can delve into the press release below for all the details - including the new model's improved towing capacity! - but the reality, for better or worse, is that the Panamera Diesel isn't offered here. So if you've been celebrating Labor Day (or even Labour Day, for our friends to the north) like we have, don't go looking for it at your local dealer, who will have only a Cayenne Diesel to show you instead.
Porsche Panamera Turbo S vs Ariel Atom Supercharged in unlikely drag battle
Thu, 01 May 2014David versus Goliath battles are always an enticing proposition, because they offer the chance to watch scrappy underdogs take on their bigger rivals. Evo has set up just such a battle with its latest drag race between the minimalist Ariel Atom 3.5 Supercharged (Ariel Atom 3 pictured below) and the plush Porsche Panamera Turbo S.
The two cars couldn't be more different. The Atom personifies Lotus founder Colin Chapman's well-known axiom: "Simplify, then add lightness." Most of the car doesn't even have a body; it's just an exposed frame with a 310 horsepower supercharged Honda four-cylinder mounted behind the driver. On the other side, there's the Panamera Turbo S. In the latest version, it packs 570 hp and 553 pound-feet from its 4.8-liter twin-turbo V8 and it features all-wheel drive. Of course, all of that comes with a significant weight penalty.
Off the line, the differences are even more apparent. The Atom doesn't have any of the Porsche's technological wizardry, so launching it challenges the driver to build the revs and let out the clutch just right. The car screams like a banshee as it goes, though. The Porsche is the exact opposite. Its launch control system lets the driver hold down the brake, get on the throttle and accelerate away in just the right way.
