FOR SALE: A very clean Guards Red over black 1985 1/2 Porsche 944. For the asking price, this is about as fine a complete and ready to drive classic Porsche as you'll find and is one of the nicer 944s out there. In case you didn't already know, the 944 has a near perfect geometry and weight distribution and is regarded as one of the best handling sports cars ever built. Google it, there are many great articles on this subject. It has minor issues, but they're the same issues any Porsche under $10,000 will have. 

944s usually come in one of two categories: the 0 mile $20,000 cream puff that you might see being trailered to the Concours and the 200,000 mile $3,000 used, abused and molested type you might see doing burnouts in the Taco Bell parking lot after school. This one is from that rare third category: clean, well cared for, usable and with reasonable mileage. This car has spent its entire adult-owned life garaged in Southern California and Colorado and is completely rust free. I'm selling it because I haven't enjoyed it in years anyway and recent financial issues are forcing me to pay off an old student loan- and because the license plate fees are due again and I don't want to pay them.

WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT THE CAR:
- Super clean inside and out
- 119,800 professionally maintained miles
- Unlike just about every other 944 in the world, this one has a front spoiler and fog lamps that haven't been destroyed by dips & parking blocks 
- Fresh ignition system tune up
- Passed strict Southern California emissions test with flying colors in 2007 and has barely been driven since
- Over 50% remaining on all brake linings
- Stationary race style headlamp fixtures, the factory pop-up lamps are included but will require touch up and installation (see photos)
- Battery is less than 1 year old and hasn't even been hooked up yet
- Tires only have about 100 burnout free miles on them
- 1985 1/2 designation makes it a 1985 model year with the 1986-1993 interior features, dashboard and gauges
- Rare factory option "Sport" front power seats with large side bolsters, like 911 Carrera models. The front seats have a fresh upholstery job
- Professionally installed short shift kit
- High power stereo system with hidden amplifier and brand new Blaupunkt CD deck with remote and Ipod port neatly hidden in center console 
- Removable/ tiltable power roof panel
- Very dark professional window tint
- Power windows
- Power mirrors
- Power sunroof/ removable roof
- Still has that new Porsche smell, believe it or not
- Factory cruise control that still works just fine
- Factory alarm option (key is missing)
- 15" "Phone Dial" wheels with locks/ key
- Hood and hatch struts still actually work
- Very tight suspension and excellent handling
- Original, unused spare tire, compressor and tools included
- Comes with clean, clear title, original headlamps/hardware, Hayne's manual, owner's manual packet in near mint condition and even an expensive official Porsche factory service manual on CD ROM
- Paint is still very glossy and is about an 8.5/10 (dusty in photos)
- Interior condition is a 9/10 

WHAT'S NOT GOOD ABOUT THE CAR:
- There is a 3" dent in the nose panel, not real deep or noticeable, but it drove me crazy. I was going to replace the panel with a new vented panel. See photos
- The sunroof is totally functional, but the switch is stubborn sometimes
- I would recommend replacement of fluids, they've got less than 100 miles of use, but haven't been changed in about 5 years
- The fuse/relay block got water intrusion at some point before I owned it and sometimes needs a good whack- usually not an issue, new blocks are available
- The transmission input center bearing makes noise when cruising without load. Its not an immediate problem, but will require replacement in the near future- a common 944 issue
- Factory A/C needs R134 retrofit to be practical and usable
- Glove box catch and light fixture are missing
- Hood latch needs alignment 

NOTE: in the close up photo of the right rear corner, it looks like a white wishbone shaped scuff near the side marker, but its actually only the reflection of a white step stool in the garage. 

That's about as thorough a description as I can come up with. Its not 100% perfect, but a very nice old Porsche at a reasonable price and the things it could use are relatively minor. I'm hoping to sell the car to a fellow experienced antique sports car enthusiast or collector who knows what it is, why it deserves respect, how to treat it and how to take care of it. Please, if you're not completely clear as to what it takes to properly care for a 30 year old Porsche, this probably isn't the car for you.

1986 Porsche 959 Prototype at Barrett-Jackson sees gavel fall at $440,000 [UPDATE: w/video]

Sat, 19 Jan 2013

Fans of Porsche in America have longed for the chance to buy a 959 ever since the German automaker produced and sold it (well, sold it everywhere but the United States...) in the 1980s. Well, they just had their chance. The car you see above is a Porsche 959 prototype built in 1986, and only one other running prototype still exists.
The 959 prototype can't be driven on public roads, as it carries no such certification. Somehow, we doubt that matters all that much to the new buyer - this one is probably going to be sitting in a collection. When the gavel finally fell, bidding had reached $400,000, plus a 10-percent buyer's fee.
Check out our high-res image gallery above to see this prototype up close, and scroll down below to watch a video of it crossing the auction block and for its official auction description.

Hyundai Blue Link Android smartwatch app will start your car

Mon, Jan 5 2015

We knew Hyundai would be bringing its Blue Link smartwatch app to the Consumer Electronics Show, and now that CES is upon us, the app's workings have been revealed. Once you get the free Blue Link app on your smartphone and your Android smartwatch and pair them up with the app, it's all systems go. Through either touch or voice commands, you can remotely lock or unlock your car doors, start and stop your engine, flash the lights and honk the horn, or have your watch locate your car. It works on every Hyundai with first- or second-gen Blue Link (which is all of them in the case of first-gen and the 2015 Genesis, Sonata and Azera for second-gen). The watch app isn't quite ready yet, but the company says you'll be able to get it sometime in Q1. There's a video above showing Hyundai's offering at work, and a press release below with more information below. HYUNDAI BLUE LINK TO DEBUT SMARTWATCH APP WITH VOICE RECOGNITION AT 2015 CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW AND PEPCOM'S DIGITAL EXPERIENCE - Next Generation Blue Link System to Launch on 2016 Elantra GT and Veloster - The Blue Link smartwatch app works with first and second generation Blue Link equipped Hyundai models Fountain Valley, Calif., Jan. 2, 2015 – Smartwatch sales are skyrocketing and starting early in 2015 Hyundai owners will be able to connect with their cars using these wearable devices and the Hyundai Blue Link® smartwatch app. Hyundai will debut and demonstrate the Blue Link smartwatch app at Pepcom's Digital Experience and at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES®). Pepcom's Digital Experience takes place before CES on Jan. 5 and Hyundai's exhibit (North Hall, booth #2818) at CES will be open Jan. 6-9, 2015. Hyundai's cloud-based Blue Link platform allows features like remote start and service information to be quickly accessed through devices like smartwatches and smartphones. Hyundai partnered with Station Digital Media to develop the Blue Link smartwatch app. "This new app expands Hyundai's exploration into how wearable technology and Blue Link fit into a customer's lifestyle," said Barry Ratzlaff, executive director, customer connect and service business development, Hyundai Motor America. "Connecting to your car through a smartwatch and voice recognition was previously something seen only in science fiction movies. Now, we can provide this capability to owners of Hyundai vehicles equipped with Blue Link." The app is easy to use.
