Up for Auction is a very nice 1990 Porsche S2 Cabriolet
Triple Black with 105,640 miles
3.0 liter 16 valve 4 cylinder, 5 speed
ABS, Driver and Passenger Airbags

Originally purchased at Len Stoler Porsche here in Baltimore in December of 1989.
Traded in 2000 with 50,000 miles and resold at Valley Motors Porsche.
I purchased the car from the second owner as a private sale in February of 2009 with 102,000 miles as a backup car for the family.

I had a full service and review performed at that time and the car was deemed in excellent condition with no prior body damage.  
The front was repainted and disclosed by the dealer in 2000.

The car was garage kept by both owners and I have extensive documentation on the car (which I am rummaging through files looking for.)

The car passed the extensive Maryland inspection and emissions less than 4,000 miles ago in 2009.

The timing belt was changed at 92,000 miles.
I replaced all tires with Continentals in 2009 as well as a new top and replacement of the lower seat leather (getting stiff and stitching coming undone.)
I have kept the car fully serviced and have had some minor electrical work done (fix fog lights and rewire stereo which previous aftermarket unit was drawing on the system.)
Replaced the brakes in 2009.
Car is serviced at least 2x a year by my mechanic and is only used in good weather.
There is an Alpine head unit as shown in the pictures that has a USB input as well as Sirius receiver integrated and installed in the head unit.
I replaced the windshield and repainted the front end after a branch fell and dented the passenger fender and cracked the windshield.  All body panels are, to the best of my knowledge, original to the car.
I did file an insurance claim at that time and will most likely show up in history.  I have not checked to see.
Work was done to a very high standard.
Taken out of winter storage and driven 200 miles this past week.

The car drives strong and has a solid clutch.  Shifts very well. No leaks.
I average 27-28 mpg in spirited driving
Oil pressure is excellent and the temp gauge never passes the 1st quarter of the range.
Air Conditioning works well 
Power top is fully functional and the original fitted boot is in the trunk.
Cruise, Pwr Windows, Locks and Pwr Seat Height all work as they should.
Dash has no cracks and Lloyd mats are in excellent condition.

Only issues that I am aware of are the interior overhead light does not go on when the door is opened, the clock in the dash is broken (common problem), the struts for the trunk should be replaced as they are original and do not "pop up" when you press the electric release, which does work, however, the key works fine. 
There is some minor curb rash on the wheels and a couple of minor dings.

This is a good driver quality car that has been very reliable and more practical than I every thought.  

My kids are now at an age where they don't fit in the back and would rather not be seen with Mom and Dad anyway so we are going to spend more time running my 280SL.

If I could demand that a PPI inspection be done, I would, but I cannot.  I do greatly encourage inspections.  
Please ask questions, I will do my best to get back to you.
I will not answer questions about the reserve.  Make me an offer if you like.
Car is sold AS-IS WHERE-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.

I am located a little north of Baltimore, MD.  
Shipping and pick up is the responsibility of buyer but I will do my very best to accommodate you.
Deposit of $500 is due with in 24 hours of auction end.  Balance my be received before title and car are released. 

Thanks for looking!

Chris Harris gets filthy in a WRC-ready Porsche 911 RGT

Thu, Jan 15 2015

Last time we rode with Chris Harris we were shotgun in the tan leather seat of his used-yet-immaculate Ferrari FF. This time we're strapped into a black racing bucket of a filthy Porsche 911 rally car, one that led Harris to effuse, "I don't think I've driven a more exciting car this year, hypercars included." The thrills come courtesy of a 997-series Cup Car that's been reworked by Tuthill Porsche to run in the RGT-class rally series that will piggyback on five World Rally Championship and European Rally Championship races this year. It's not quite the Rothmans Dakar monster, but the RGT series gives privateers an affordable way into rallying with cars that look different and are different from one another. This one kept its 3.8-liter, 444-horsepower 997 Cup engine, but the 39-milllimeter restrictor drops that to about 350 hp. Beyond that are a new rollcage, gear ratios, suspension, fuel tank, underfloor protection and just about everything else. Said the man who built it, it cost "a lot, and it's still costing." But Harris says even though you "have to have your wits about you," it's a hoot to drive. And this is one of the few times you'll hear the phrase "What a tool!" used as a compliment. Check it out in the video above. News Source: Chris Harris on Cars via YouTube Motorsports Porsche Coupe Off-Road Vehicles Racing Vehicles Performance Videos fia rally WRC chris harris porsche 997

Porsche 911 Cabriolet refresh may hide new engine

Wed, 22 Jan 2014

If we learned nothing else from our recent frolic through Porsche's secret museum, it's that the automaker goes to incredible lengths to disguise future products during initial testing. Just as a number of cars in that Stuttgart bunker hid the true identity of developmental mules (like the Audi-V8-powered 911), such could very well be the case with these spy shots showing what, on the surface, appears to be simply a facelifted 991 911 Cabriolet.
Similar to what we saw last month on a 911 coupe, this Cabriolet has obvious styling modifications made to the front and rear fascias suggesting that the 911's still-fresh appearance is already set to get a few tweaks. The big news here is at the rear of the car. The additional vents on the lower edge of the fascia and the mocked-up vent above the engine leads our spy photographer to believe that a new engine could be tucked under the body work - likely a smaller-displacement, turbocharged flat-six focusing more on improving fuel efficiency and reducing exhaust emissions rather than performance.
We last heard rumblings of such a detuned 911 back in August, but could this be our first look at said new model? Have a look for yourself, and let us know what you think - either about this mule specifically or the idea of a "green" 911, in Comments below.

Porsche offers a closer look at the Mission E's design

Wed, Mar 30 2016

As Porsche's first fully electric sports sedan to go on sale, the production version of the Mission E concept could revolutionize the company's products. It's vital to get the look just right because of so much riding on the upcoming EV, and a new video from the German sportscar maker offers a glimpse inside the Mission E's design process. When Porsche decided to create a four-seat sports car with an electric drivetrain, the designers started by creating a series of drawings that became clay scale models. While they don't look too different from the final shape, this video gives us a look at several different design sketches for the Mission E. The designers tacked up pictures of the brand's models and took some ideas from them. For example, the smooth nose has a resemblance to the front of the 718 RSK racecar from the late '50s and early '60s, and the Mission E also has cues from the current 919 Hybrid. The interior design process proceeded similarly. The stylists wanted to carry the look of the 911 into the future. For a cutting edge cabin, they also included elements like gesture recognition and holographic displays. In concept form, Porsche claims the Mission E all-wheel drive EV powertrain makes 590 horsepower, and Porsche promised a 311-mile range under the European testing method. Production should begin around 2020 at an updated factory in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, Germany. The company's workers at the plant even agreed to adjust their wages to make sure assembly happened there. Related Video:
