1986 Porsche 944 Turbo

Very well maintained, garage kept, collector car. This car has not been a daily driver, it is kept as a collector car and is only driven in the warm dry summer days. Since it was kept in a garage, the paint and plastic are preserved. It recently has had the timing belt replaced along with a number of front seals and belt rollers/bearings. Valve seals have been replaced. New front suspension a-arms (replacing the a-arms is the way to replace the lower ball joints). Engine runs well, shifts smooth. Mechanically it is very good except the A/C leaks (just put a can of 134 in at the beginning of summer and it will last the summer) and turbo leaks a little oil. As for the turbo oil, I can see that there is moist oil in around the turbo area, so it leaks outward a little. And if it sits, it will blow a little smoke out the exhaust until it is all burnt off (then it stops). Do not let me make you think it is bad, I am just being honest and letting you know everything, which you may not find in the other ads. Go see the other cars for sale, and then come and see mine, I know which one you will want. Doesn't need anything else. Tires are fairly new with deep tread, Dunlop SP9000. Though there is some vibration in the front wheels, they should be rebalanced, maybe weights fell off them. There is a straight pipe on the car, but the original cat is included in the sale. There is also a K&N air filter and a boost enhancer. I do not know for sure if the car was chipped. It does run around 1 bar if you trust the on board boost gauge.

Cosmetically it looks great from 5ft. The paint is glossy and deep. It looks good. When you see a 944 you can tell it is either well taken care of or it is beat. There are a lot of beat 944's out there. This is one that looks nice and will get you a lot of compliments. Just look at the pictures, it does look that good. But I am a perfectionist and I must tell you about the flaws. There are numerous little paint flaws. There a number of dings (surprisingly they are on the front nose, hood, and roof, not on the side). There are a number of stone chips on the front nose. The car was of course repainted, before my time. It wasn't a horrible paint job, but it wasn't top of the line. Overall on the outside, like I said, it looks really good from 5ft, but if you start examining it, you will find the imperfections. There is a chip in the windshield, it is right behind the rearview mirror, so you don't see it. The inside is really nice. There are really nice Lloyd floor mats. There are a couple cracks in the dash, but they should be repairable, the dash is not dried out. The clock is broken. A little of the vinyl on the roof is undone around the sunroof. A very easy quick fix, I just never got around to it. Everything else is in really good condition. The stereo is awesome and is the best part of the car to me since none of my other cars have a setup like this. There is a JBL 10inch teardrop sub that sits in the seat behind the driver. And an amp to drive it. Everything just sits in place, nothing was cut to put it in. You can remove is all in 5 minutes if you want. You can really crank it up and feel the base.

I was planning on keeping this car forever. But I just don't have the time anymore to keep it up. I mentioned a few things that it could use and generally I would have gotten right on those, but I just don't have the time. It would be better for someone else to take over and keep up on this car. I think the car is fairly priced. You can buy one cheaper, but you will quickly put more money into it. Just think if you need tires, that is $700 alone. You can buy one that is much nicer, but it will be twice the price. I can't remember every little thing about the car so it is sold as-is and you should come and inspect it for yourself. I have owned six 944's. A few were ones that I bought on Ebay and was disappointed with after I bought them so I resold them. This turbo is my keeper, it has the best parts on it and is in better condition than 95% of the 944's out there.

Le Mans-winning Porsche 956 up for auction at Pebble Beach

Sun, Jun 21 2015

Collectors looking to get their hands on a piece of racing history will want to be in Monterey this August. That's where Gooding & Company will be auctioning off the genuine Le Mans winner you see here. One of the finest examples of the Group C era, this 1982 Porsche 956 won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1983 – the eighth time the German marque won the legendary French endurance race, en route to the record seventeenth win it racked up at La Sarthe this year. This 956 was the third of only ten examples made, complete with Rothmans livery and unimpeachable history. It debuted at Le Mans in 1982, where it placed second behind another Rothmans-liveried 956, and went on to win the next four races it entered. The following year, the two Porsches switched places in the winner's circle at Le Mans, securing this car's place in the annals of racing history. Now set to cross the auction block at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, Gooding projects this most historically significant Porsche to fetch between $7,000,000 and $9,000,000 once the gavel drops. According to the Sports Car Market database, that would make this the most valuable Porsche ever sold at auction, eclipsing the 1972 Porsche 917/10 Can-Am racer that Mecum sold for $5.83 million in Monterey three years ago. It would also far exceed the Âˆ2.35 million ($3.15m) paid at RM's auction in Paris last year for another Rothmans-liveried 956 that completed the 1-2-3 finish at Le Mans in '82. That is, assuming 956 #003 sells this time: the last time it crossed the auction block, it failed to sell after a high bid of $2 million. Le Mans-Winning Rothmans Porsche 956 Roars its Way to Gooding & Company's Pebble Beach Auctions SANTA MONICA, Calif. (June 19, 2015) Â– Gooding & Company, the official auction house of the Pebble Beach Concours d'EleganceÂ®, is thrilled to announce the addition of one of the most important and desirable competition cars of all time to its Pebble Beach Auctions. The 1982 Porsche 956, chassis 003, was the outright winner of the 1983 24 Hours of Le Mans and the most successful example of this revolutionary and dominating series of Group C cars. The sale of this factory Porsche racing machine presents an incredible opportunity to own a significant piece of motorsport history and it is sure to be a highlight of Gooding & Company's internationally renowned auction, taking place on August 15 and 16, 2015 in Pebble Beach, California.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners

Sat, 30 Mar 2013

The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.

2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S

Fri, 19 Jul 2013

I don't care who you are; when a new Porsche 911 rolls up in your driveway, that's a pretty good day. This was my very first experience with Porsche's 991 911, and after having spent time with just about every tune and trim of the last car, I was hotly anticipating comparing and contrasting.
Somehow (I don't remember sending out any cash-filled, unmarked envelopes) I'd scored a week in the 911 Carrera 4S over a long holiday weekend, too. That meant that I'd get to A) log a ton of miles in one of the best cars in the world, B) get to show-off the Porsche to family and friends and C) tempt cops in three states to pull me over. Good thing I've got the Autoblog traffic lawyer on speed dial...
