If you are looking for the nicest 1997 Porsche Boxster in the world this is it. Simply stunning color combination. Grand Prix White over Boxster Red FULL leather interior which includes the seats, dash and the insides of the doors. This car is HANDS DOWN the most IMPECCABLE Porsche you will find in the marketplace. This is a REAL NATIONAL CONCOURSE CHAMPION SEVERAL TIMES OVER!!!!! I have been collecting cars for over 25 years and have owned every High end sports, exotic and luxury car there is. I purchased this car only 2 months ago from the Porsche Club of America Regional Technical Chairman and thought I was ready for a new toy. I have only put 15 miles on the car since owning it and can tell you this is the quickest, tightest, best handling, best sounding and GORGEOUS car you will ever find for less than $20,000. Let alone the fact that anyone who walks up to it will mistake it for a new car. Being a father of 3 kids under the age of 5 I am a nervous wreck having it in the garage. I honestly thought that no one in the world was as OCD as I was about cars but trust me the previous owner is. This was his baby for the last 16 years and he was sick to his stomach selling it to me and now I feel even worse having to sell it to someone else. I can go on and on about how nice this car is but I would rather you refer to me feedback. The last sale was my 2007 Lexus LS460 with 18,000 miles on it. Those of you who truly understand what CONCOURSE QUALITY means will know and appreciate this car. I would prefer to sell it to someone who will truly care for it as the previous owner and myself have. The following paragraph below is the ad from the original owner on EBAY just 2 month ago. He is the most knowledgeable Porsche guy I have ever met and trust me I know many. His description is true and accurate and the car in person is nicer than the ad states. Please excuse my photos they are not the best because they are in the garage. You know the old saying "YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED". That truly is an understatement when it comes to this car. Please read the following description carefully. Please feel free to email me via eBay and I will gladly answer your questions. I will also happily text you specific photos if you include your phone number. All I ask is that you don't waste my time. This is NOT a BASE Boxster. This car has been tastefully modified and is way over built. If you think this is a fire sale it is not. If you want to insult me with a low ball offer I will not return your email. My asking price is very fair when you consider the miles, the condition and the added equipment to this car which would cost $ 20,000 without the car. I have been around cars since I was 3 and have sold thousands of cars throughout my career. If you treat me with respect you will get the same in return, it is really that simple. There is simply NOT ANOTHER CAR LIKE this in the world. 1997 Porsche Boxster, 8754 Miles. Perfect in every way. Grand Prix White with Boxster Red Full Leather Interior, Sport Package, TPC Supercharger making 5-6 lbs of boost. Approximately 275 HP at the rear wheels. 5-Speed Manual Transmission, H&R Full Coil-Over Suspension, B&B Polished Stainless Exhaust, 18" Porsche Sport Classic II Wheels with Michelins, Drilled Rotors, Pagid Orange Pads, Stainless Steel Brake Lines, Custom Built Rear Chassis Brace, Porsche Short Shifter with new style Porsche Shift Lever, Boost and AF Ratio Gauges.

This car was built for show only. Never beaten in any Porsche car show it was ever entered in. Fully detailed undercarriage, engine/transmission and suspension. Never driven in rain, never tracked and never damaged in any way. The car is simply stunning. Even the holes in the drilled rotors were painted black inside. All modifications work perfectly together and is fully emission compliant.

Simply put, this is THE nicest first year Boxster in the world...period.

Man arrested for stealing part of Paul Walker Porsche wreck

Fri, 06 Dec 2013

Humans are odd creatures. Some of us collect things associated with bad events, particularly when it comes to cars. Your author, for example, has the grille of his wrecked 2004 Mini Cooper S hanging on the wall. As a more extreme example, an 18-year-old Californian is in trouble with the LA police, but not for taking an item from his own car accident. Instead, he has been arrested for stealing from the wreck of the Porsche Carrera GT that killed actor Paul Walker and racer Roger Rodas.
And it wasn't a small piece, either. It was the Carrera GT's carbon-fiber roof panel. Making matters worse is word that the theft happened while the tow truck that was hauling the wrecked Porsche was sitting in traffic. According to the LA Sheriff's Department report, "A witness saw a male exit a vehicle that was following the tow truck. The male grabbed a piece of the wrecked Porsche off the tow truck bed." Besides the eyewitnesses, it didn't help that images of the roof panel were later posted on Instagram.
The man, Jameson Witty, was later arrested at his home, where police also found the roof panel. The driver of the car Witty was in when he took the roof panel, meanwhile, is planning on surrendering to the police, according to CNN. It remains unclear if the district attorney's office will charge the two, although if it does, they'll be facing felony grand theft and tampering with evidence.

Porsche reveals first Macan driving and manufacturing footage

Fri, 13 Dec 2013

One of the more anticipated offerings of the upcoming year, Porsche's sporty baby Cayenne, the 2015 Macan, has already earned nods of approval from a number of Autoblog staffers. We named it one of the top five debuts at last month's LA Auto Show, citing its 400-horsepower turbocharged engine and other sporty bits as good reasons to get excited about Stuttgart's latest.
And while our first test may be many months away, we're keeping our ears to the ground for any information on Porsche's compact crossover. We're especially keen on stuff like this - our first look at the new model in motion and undergoing assembly at its Leipzig plant. Both are shorter videos, and while there's little of the glorious engine noise we've already been teased with, the videos do offer a great look at the handsome Macan on the road, as well as glimpse at Porsche's state-of-the-art manufacturing operations.
Scope out the videos below and let us know what you think.

Jay Leno takes an in-depth look at a 1964 Porsche 356C restomod

Tue, Oct 13 2015

Look nearly anywhere at Dr. Anand Rajani's 1964 Porsche 356C, even the engine, and you would never realize that it boasts around 50 percent more power than stock. There's no sign of any other mods to make the drive a bit more modern, either, but they're there. The car's invisible upgrades result in an amazing transformation of a car that started out pretty great to begin with, and Jay Leno can't seem to get enough of driving this beautiful, gray coupe with restorer John Willhoit. Before going for a drive, Leno takes a deep dive into the details of this Porsche's modifications, particularly of its engine. The result of all the work is a mill that looks visually stock but actually boasts a significant jump in displacement. Willhoit admits this is particular one is a fairly conservative build but output still reaches 145 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque. If you're worried that Jay's CNBC show might have a detrimental effect on the quality of the Jay Leno's Garage YouTube video series, then here's your answer. For vintage Porsche fans interested in the nuts and bolts of making them even better, it's hard to imagine Leno making a better clip than this one.
