For sale, rare 1988 Porsche 944 "Celebration Edition" model. There were only 250 of these made and shipped to the United States in this color. Unfortunately, I did not realize how special it was until after I replaced the worn interior, one of the things that made it so unique. I will include the "celebration edition" driver and passenger seats which could be sold for a nice profit to collectors who are restoring their cars. The engine runs great. It's been well maintained with regular oil changes. The following repairs have been made in the last 18 months: new starter, new master and slave clutch cylinders, new rear rotors, new brake pads, new thermostat, new cylinder head and head gasket, new fuel lines, new fuel pump, new timing belt, new alternator & balance shaft belts, new radiator and expansion tank, new gas tank, new right front tie rod. It also has relatively new tires on it. One thing the new owner will want to take care of is the replacement of one of the fuel injectors. I understand the part runs about $130 and should not require much labor in replacing it. Additionally, there is also a power steering leak I've not had a chance to troubleshoot. The exterior and interior door mechanisms need repair/replacement. Replacement parts are available and can be installed relatively easy. The AC does not work. The power mirrors, odometer and power sunroof do not work. The motorized head lights work partially and may only require adjustment. I've had them in the manual mode and left in the raised position. Overall the body and paint are in fair to good condition. There is cracking and significant peeling on the hood and a few dents on the front end. I recently replaced the center part of the front end which contains the emblem. The interior is in pretty good shape, pictures of the interior to follow in the next day or so. Judging from the title , the car was in an accident and the insurance company wrote it off in December 2008. The car seems very sound and drives/handles great! The title is up to date. After spending thousands on the engine, the new owner should not have much to contend with going forward.

Former Porsche boss Wiedeking won't face criminal charges over VW bid
Mon, 28 Apr 2014Hedge fund managers have been suing Porsche for years now, alleging that the car company lied about its intentions during its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen, a gambit that caused them billion in losses. Over the same period, authorities in Stuttgart built a criminal case against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above, left) and Chief Financial Officer Holger Härter (right), filing charges in December 2012. When those fund plaintiffs lost their most recent court case, one of the dimming lights in the dark and receding tunnel was that the criminal investigation might unearth more evidence about Porsche's actions that could help the plaintiffs in pending litigation.
Bloomberg reports that another light has gone out, though, with a Stuttgart court dismissing the market manipulation case before going to trial because, as a court spokesperson said, "there wasn't enough evidence backing up the charges." When prosecutors get the files back from the court, they have a week to decide to refile, but unless they've been sandbagging evidence that could bolster the case, the only lights at the end of the tunnel will be those welcoming Wiedeking and Härter back to the world of legally unencumbered men.
Porsche drivers escape this horrific VIR crash unscathed
Mon, 07 Oct 2013There is no doubting the fact that it takes nerves of steel to be a racecar driver, but the same can also be said for motorsports photographers. Case in point: The American Le Mans Series Oak Tree Grand Prix at the Virginia International Raceway where two Porsche 911 racecars crash hard into the tire barrier, but the dedicated cameraman stays with the shot - diving away only at the last second just as the battered No. 31 car (shown above) comes to rest atop the tire barriers just feet from where he was standing.
The crash occurred when the two Porsches charged hard into a corner. Judging by the video, the white No. 48 car appears to not see the orange No. 31 and the two cars make contact, skidding off track hitting the tire barriers at a high rate of speed. Both drivers walked away from the frightening crash, but the video - posted below - shows just how bad things could have been. Hopefully the close call will serve as a lesson for the woman standing in the track marshal's post who has her back to the racing as the two cars barrel directly toward her.
2015 Porsche Macan Turbo
Mon, 06 Jan 2014The misinformation first started back in May of 2007 - more than six years ago - when word came that Porsche was developing a compact utility vehicle to fill out its product line. Rumors swirled that the German automaker's future "Roxster" would be based on the then-upcoming Audi Q5. By September of 2010, the name had changed to "Cajun," but the vehicle was still expected to be "based heavily on the Audi Q5," said reports in the months that followed. One year later, the first test mules were spotted, the mechanics hidden beneath barely disguised Audi sheetmetal, which did nothing to give the upcoming model its own identity. And even after Porsche announced "Macan" as the vehicle's production name in early 2012, articles stated that it would "arrive on the same chassis as the Audi Q5, though with suspension, brake and engine tweaks suitable to the Porsche range."
It's no wonder that most still consider the all-new Porsche Macan nothing more than a heavily massaged Q5.
To help lift some of the mystery surrounding its latest release, Porsche hosted us in Germany for an in-depth look at its new crossover (while Europeans call it a "sport utility," its car platform allows us to call it a proper CUV). The technology workshop offered us insight to the design and mechanical execution, and it concluded with a short test ride. The trip was both enlightening and educational - and it left us with a whole new perspective on the Macan.
