Up for bid is a 1994 Porsche 968 coupe. The car has 151,490 miles, but the engine only has about 130,000. The engine

is out of a 1994 968 Cabriolet. The engine was replaced because someone installed the flex dampener incorrectly and it

pushed forward on the crankshaft and wore the crankshaft thrust bearing.

The hatch was just rebuilt using professional Sika System components. We removed the hatch glass from the frame, and

completely removed all the old glue and primer. The new primer was airbrushed on, and the hatch glass reglued into the

frame. It looks amazing, and should not separate like the stock primer. The Sika System uses an activator which allows

the primer to bond into the glass, not just stick to the surface. The hatch is car color, which was an option, not the

normal Rally (satin) black. A new left side spoiler trim piece was installed when we restored the hatch.

The car runs and drives great. Everything works perfectly except for the cruise control, which is typical for the 944

and 968 models. If you engage the cruise control, the car wants to go 70MPH, and won't reset to a different speed. The

A/C is R134A and blows ice cold. The car has a factory alarm which works perfectly. The hatch and hood shocks all work

great.

The car has an Autothority performance chip installed, and believe me, you can feel the difference from the stock

chip.

I have installed loads of new components on this car in the 6 years that I have owned it. Here's a rundown of what I

can remember off the top of my head. Porsche factory motor mounts, Koni Sport adjustable shocks, left side hatch

spoiler, rear taillight assembly, one of the foglights, rain gutter trim, drivers door handle, door handle gaskets on

both sides, ground effect trim on both sides, hatch seal, inner sunroof seal, antenna mast, washer filler seal, outer

window scrapers, headlight pods, voltmeter/oil pressure gauge, all four dash trim pieces, rear bumper pads, cassette

tray hinge, all horn switch components, radiator, various cooling hoses, and metal glove box sliders to replace the

crappy factory plastic units. I added the front and rear engine bay covers which they didn't install on all the 94

cars.

The car has leather seats, leather steering wheel, leather emergency brake handle, leather shift knob, and a leather

cassette tray lid.The driver's seat is power adjustable. The interior is in great shape for a 94. There was a small

split in the driver's side seat bolster, but I stitched it up to prevent it from splitting any more. The carpet is in

great shape, and has always been covered with factory floormats (I took them out for the pictures). The rear cargo

cover is perfect with no rips or tears. The dash has the typical cracking from the sun.

The paint on this car is not perfect. It has been my daily driver 50% of the time for the last 6 years (I drive my 968

cabriolet in the summer). There are rock chips, a scrape in the front bumper cover, there are a few small dings in the

fenders, and the paint has been buffed through the top layer in a few small spots. With a coat of paint and a little

interior work, this car would be perfect. I want to give an accurate representation of the car. I don't want the buyer

to be disappointed. If you have any questions, please ask me before you place a bid. The tires are old and worn, and

should be replaced. The timing and balance shaft belts have about 20K on them.

This car is a lot of fun to drive. It handles amazingly, and will not disappoint you in any hard cornering situation.

The tiptronic transmission is great in rush hour, and when you kick it down to second on the freeway, it really gets

up and jumps. When you switch it over to manual shift mode, it is extremely responsive. I went from driving my 5 speed

944 to this car, and I did not miss wearing out my left leg running that clutch all the time.

2014 Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid is one mean green machine

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

The entire Porsche Panamera lineup gets a refresh for the 2014 model year, and new additions to the range include two long-wheelbase models and this E-Hybrid fuel-sipper that makes its debut here at the Shanghai Motor Show. And, well, we say "fuel-sipper lightly."
Porsche has packed its hybrid Panamera with 416 horsepower and 435 pound-feet of torque, and that certainly makes for one quick sedan-hatchback-thing. Hitting 60 miles per hour will reportedly take just 5.2 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 167 mph. And while Porsche hasn't revealed specific powertrain details, the company says that the S E-Hybrid "improves upon the concept offered by the previous Panamera S Hybrid with a more powerful electric motor," which leads us to believe that the supercharged 3.0-liter V6 engine at the heart of it all still remains intact.
Fuel economy numbers (or estimates) have not been released as of this writing, but we expect to have that information closer to the car's on-sale date later this year. As for the new battery system, Porsche says that when plugged into a 240-volt charging station, it can be fully charged in just two and a half hours. When topped off, the Panamera S E-Hybrid should have an electric driving range of around 20 miles at speeds up to 84 mph, though, obviously, not at the same time.

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.

'Born of a Blue Sky' brings the Amelia Island Concours to you

Fri, 03 May 2013

The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance has more clout every year and is getting a reputation as Pebble Beach minus the madness. Held in March this year, it celebrated Ducati and the 50-year anniversaries of Lamborghini, the Corvette Sting Ray, Porsche 911 and the Ford GT40.
Justin Lapriore was there, and seemingly everywhere, getting footage of the various wares on display on the lawns and the sand and the runway. The resulting video, Born of a Blue Sky, is a 16-minute survey of some of the finer sights and plenty of engine sounds. Check it out below.
