Here you have a 1987 944S with all the Porsche luxuries that was bought by a perfectionist. Like most purchases it looked ok, but after purchase came the surprises. My friend is a novice to the Porsche crowd and this was his first one. He bought it , it seemed OK but then little things were wrong, so he set out to make it mechanically perfect. At 79600 miles put in new gas struts, new turn signal switch other misc. Bill came to $2,023.53. Next a little more driving , then more stuff not quite perfect so needed to be fixed. New AC compressor, new AC expansion valve, new windshield reservoir and pump and new Dynomax VT muffler, total $1,886.96. Few more miles then New drive belts, Timing belt, spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor , valve cover gasket balance shaft seal and clutch to the tune of $3,777.44. Mechanically it needs nothing. I am including the number for Mitch at the repair shop a 944 expert and he can tell you they went through the car top to bottom, NO mechanical issues that they have not already been repaired. The paint is good, normal use, stone chips, the leather on both seats are cracked, BUT NO ISSUES WITH THE RUNNING OF THE CAR. Don't be fooled by other inexpensive 944 that look OK, THE BILLS ADD UP FAST. To give you an idea when he bought the car , sounded and ran ok , but in less than a year put $7687.93 plus the cost of a new set of tires. Many say their car needs nothing, BUT look at the bills this car is mechanically sound. Questions call Mitch at Hi Line auto he can answer any questions or set up a test drive. (630) 663-0044. My friend has now become a Porsche freak and after getting this car mechanically just right is now moving on and bought an even faster Porsche... so the cycle begins again. please email with any questions or if you would like additional pictures. I have the car for sale locally so have the right to end the auction at any time. Come out schedule a test drive see for yourself this is a tight Porsche!

Porsche announces works team for United Sportscar Championship
Tue, 24 Sep 2013Porsche is undoubtedly the most successful manufacturer in sportscar racing, and it's only upping its game. The German marque is launching its new LMP1 racer for Le Mans in pursuit of overall victory once again, and now that sportscar racing in North America is coming together under one banner in the United Sportscar Championship, Porsche has announced it is entering the fray with a works team here as well.
The new Porsche North America racing team will field two cars in the entire inaugural season of the Tudor United Sportscar Championship that's been formed out of the former Grand-Am and American Le Mans Series. The team will be based out of the Porsche Motorsport North America facility in Santa Ana, California, and will partner with three-time ALMS LMPC winners Core Autosport in getting a pair of the latest 911 RSR racecars to the front of the GT Le Mans class.
Drivers have yet to be announced, but are projected to be drawn out of Porsche's factory driver program, which includes such talents as Patrick Long, Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas and Neel Jani. Keep reading below for the official announcement.
2014 Porsche 911 Targa
Tue, 15 Apr 2014I've watched the electro-hydraulic roof panel open and close about 73 times in the past hour, but its fascinatingly complicated operation still has me mesmerized. I've concluded that only a German automaker - Porsche, to be more specific - would go through the trouble of engineering a roof system that essentially lifts the entire greenhouse off a vehicle, rearranges its components like a sliding-tile puzzle, and then reassembles all of them seamlessly (sans roof panel) to accurately recreate one of its most famed bodystyles.
The 2014 Porsche 911 Targa is a near-perfect modern interpretation of the automaker's 1965 911 Targa, a semi-convertible bodystyle that represents nearly 13 percent of all 911 models sold since production started 50 years ago. While the early car's roof was purely manual in operation - that's the period-correct way of saying that the driver did all of the muscle work - today's Targa is a completely automated transformation that requires only that the driver hold down a cabin-mounted switch for a mere 19 seconds to let the captivating show run its course.
After studying the Targa's elaborate roof operation at its launch at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year, I was sufficiently intrigued. To that end, I traveled one-third of the way around the planet to southern Italy, hoping that the Mediterranean climate would reveal a bit more about the reintroduction of the automaker's iconic sports car.
Driving 50 years of Porsche 911 history
Fri, 06 Sep 2013Raiding The Porsche Museum For A Fun Track Day
It seems everyone is celebrating anniversaries this year: it's Aston's hundredth, Lamborghini's fiftieth, Ford Mustang's fiftieth, Chevy Corvette's sixtieth - and Tesla just turned ten or something. It's been a little out of hand, frankly, all these forced marketing festivities, but if we had to pick one milestone to really celebrate hard and party all night, the Porsche 911 would be at the top of our list.
Get ready for a major 911 blowout bash at next week's Frankfurt Motor Show. It was on September 12 back in 1963 at this very show where Porsche unveiled its "901" painted in a rather boring shade of beige. Though drably finished, the car caused a worldwide frenzy in the budding German sports car sphere.
