History: purchased new by Ted G. 5/4/1988 from European Imports, 6400 San Mateo Blvd, Albuquerque, NM.

Purchase by a friend of Ted G. named Don S. on 8/2001 with 15,990 miles.  This aligns with first car-fax data showing change of title. Receipts are from Premier Motorcars, 6400 San Mateo (same dealer as purchase) for simple repairs, tune-ups, oil changes that Don Snook had performed on car. 

Purchased by a Brent R. (CPA) in Missoula, MT on 8/2002, 19,500 miles.

Purchased by a Clyne F. (Business Owner) in Topeka, KS on 3/ 2011 with 24,356 miles. Tires 3/2011 at 24,426 miles, AC Compressor replaced and recharged 4/2011 (no receipt), Receipts for all work at Jesse Prather Motorsports that includes a complete Lindsey Racing Turbo Upgrade kit 5/2011 at 24,800, 2 DME chips, Programmable MAF, 3in exhaust, and customer dyno tune.  Plugs, oil, crank sensor replacement (6/2022).

Flushed all fluids including: oil, transmission, brakes.  Replaced distributor cap, roof relay, fuel pump relay, headlight bulbs. Added battery mat and replaced small screw covers, while also adding some insulation mat under rear carpet.  Changed speakers in cargo area with a custom box (6in JL Audio).  AC Changed to R134.


I took car to a Porsche repair shop to check the odometer and the first thing he did was pull the front seat and look to see if it was the original seat cover.  Yes, it is the original driver's seat and shows little to no wear.  All receipts line up as did all the calls I made to repair shops.


Many extras things included with the purchase. The original window sticker of $42,000, and lots and lots of car articles from the 80's and 90's time frame. I have all original parts that were removed to install upgrades, as well as a COMPLETE set of Dealer Service Manuals. The manuals are a complete detail of the car nut-to-nut and connector-to-connector. Also includes an original brochure for the Porsche 1988 944 series that is really cool to read (the brochure says the 1988 Turbo 944 was the first mid-level premium sports car to get dual air bags and anti-lock brakes!)

A few of other things to note from the pictures is the cool beginner's service guide VCR tape. I burned a DVD of the tape and it comes with the car. Next, the key-fob's light up nice and bright when you press the button. Finally, do not to forget your hats!

A few pre-race notes and a lot of photos from the 24 Hours of Le Mans

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

The 82nd running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is on.
Audi has won 12 of the last 15 events, the scion of Auto Union is trying to make it 13 this year. To do so, it will have to overcome a situation faced only three other times during its dominance of La Sarthe: underdog status. Toyota has won the first two races of the year and claimed pole for this race, the rumor being that this year it's Toyota's race to lose.
And then there's Porsche. It's been 16 years since the Stuttgart brand raced on the top rung at Le Mans, three years years since it announced its return, just a year since it acquired Mark Webber in a signing that wasn't subtle and a few months since we got eyes on the 919 Hybrid.

Porsche Cayenne diesel V8 may not be long for this world

Fri, Jan 23 2015

Goodbye, Porsche Cayenne V8 Diesel. We hardly knew ye. Nor did the Europeans, apparently. Porsche's V8 oil burner is still on the European model list for the Cayenne SUV, but the mill won't go through the likely pricey process of being updated to adhere to new and stricter European emissions standards, Just-Auto says. A Porsche spokesman confirmed to the publication that it's a fairly complicated process to update the diesel V8 to be so-called "Euro-6 compliant." With Cayenne diesels selling in relatively low volumes anyways, the German automaker might just dump the V8 diesel altogether, as it'd be quite cost-ineffective to make the necessary upgrades. The V8 diesel was a 4.1-liter engine that delivered 385 horsepower in addition to what sounds like a little too much exhaust for European clean-air regulators. While that's a pretty powerful profile, the most recent gas-powered V8 for the Cayenne delivers about 570 horsepower, so the diesel engine won't likely be missed by European auto enthusiasts. Besides, there's still the V6 diesel that's also sold in the US. That's a 4,800-pound beast that moves from 0 to 60 miles per hour in about seven seconds and gets a relatively (for diesels) modest 20 miles per gallon city. For those who are curious, Autoblog's First Drive review of that model can be found here.

Aston Martin renames Vantage GT3 after Porsche throws hissy fit

Mon, Mar 23 2015

Porsche has a long history of using the name "GT3" for its hardcore, naturally aspirated 911 models, and that means it's certainly not going to share it with the likes of Aston Martin. See, it seems the arrival of the Aston Martin Vantage GT3 at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show didn't sit well with Stuttgart, which opted to lawyer up. According to Goodwood Road and Racing, attorneys from both sides of the Channel have been in discussion for months over the issue, with Porsche arguing it's been using the GT3 name since 1999, and that makes it theirs. Aston, though, argues that the FIA GT3 racing series makes the name fair game for road cars. Moreover, the Brits point out that the alphanumeric was in use well before Porsche got its mitts on it – GRR rightly points out the Lotus Esprit GT3 hit the streets three years before the 996 GT3. And while we're on the subject, Bentley has its own GT3, but we're guessing its status as one of Porsche's siblings means its immune to this kind of squabbling. Rather than getting into a knock-down, drag-out courtroom brawl with one of the Volkswagen Group's prized brands, though, Aston has taken the high road. The company will rechristen both the road-going Vantage GT3 and Vantage racer as the GT12. While Porsche is no stranger to aggressively protecting what it views as its closely held vehicle names, we have to admit, it seems like Aston actually has something of a case. Do you think the Brits were right to settle and change the Vantage's name, or should they have taken the fight to Porsche? Have your say in Comments.
