Offered for your consideration is a 1971 PORSCHE 911E (2.2 liter) with 86,000 original miles. It is a matching
numbers car and has been in the same ownership for the last 20 years. As you can see in pictures, it has been
driven, but it has been well taken care of. The same mechanic has been repairing it for the last 7 years or so. It
has the rare but infamous Sportomatic transmission that is a clutch-less manual; rare because most cars have been
converted to a manual transmission for ease of maintenance. It also has the sweet running original fuel injected
engine. The car is not currently running due to transmission issues.
I am selling this for my friend's widow. He was hell bent on keeping his car original and was sourcing all the
parts needed to rebuild the transmission when he suddenly passed away. The engine and transmission is currently off
the car; everything is stored at the Porsche repair shop. We are selling it as-is. I can arrange to view the car
with an appointment.
Pros:
Matching numbers car.
It has the original unmolested, unopened (as far as we know) engine which is becoming a rarity in the classic
Porsche market and the mechanical fuel injection is original and fully functional.
Car is one of the few unmolested long hood Porsches left with the original Sportomatic transmission. Quirky or
not, It has a decent fiberglass RSR wide body conversion along with a whale tail and it is RED!!
The interior is upgraded to a late model 911 including seats with much better ergonomics. It is again red.
Momo sprot steering wheel.
Car is never crashed or damaged and we have a clear title in hand (title transferred in 2016 in widow’s name)
Good brakes and all other ancillaries according to the mechanic who worked on this car for the last few years.
Service records are available for the last 20 years or so.
Overall a very good candidate to put back together and restore to original given the skyrocketing appreciation
long hoods are enjoying in the recent past.
It has the factory sunroof and all glass is in good shape too.
Did I mention it is RED inside and out??!!!
Cons:
The transmission had an issue where it would only shift between first and second gears; it would not shift to
third or fourth. However the car ran on 1 and 2 gears when taken apart a year ago. The issue is with the pneumatic
actuator according to the mechanic. There are quite a few rebuilt pneumatic actuators on ebay as we speak but
procuring one has been a problem at one time. The other option again will be to convert it into a 901 5-speed
manual which is what most people did to these cars anyway. In any case, it makes sense to save the original
transmission. Given the desirability of these cars, the day will come when people will be scrambling to find one
and that is when the Sportomatic should be installed back.
The motor has developed the dreaded 8th main oil leakage from behind the crank pulley for the last couple of
years and it has been fixed reasonably well with the aluminum sleeve solution. It still seeps and need a quart of
oil every few thousand miles.
The fiberglass body kit is professionally installed but an original matching numbers car like this would have
been much more valuable if it had the original steel body and bumpers. To those who know 911s, it is a relatively
easy conversion back should you procure the bumpers and fenders. Bolt on for the most parts.
Once again the leather interior is from a newer Porsche and is not original to this car. I was told that the
original parts are saved somewhere, but since we cannot find them, it is not included in sale.

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show Debuts
Thu, Sep 17 2015Consider the 2015-16 auto show season officially kicked off. The Frankfurt Motor Show offered a great look at the newest crop of production cars and conceptual machines, and brought some old favorites back into the spotlight for a closer look. (The Alfa Romeo Giulia, for example, debuted in June, but this was the first time most of us saw it.) Now that the dust has settled and we're all on flights back to the US, our editors cast their votes for their personal favorites from the Frankfurt show. These are the cars we truly loved seeing the most. But unlike other shows, there was no one runaway winner – all of the Top Five received positive praise from our team. We won't spoil the results, though. Scroll down to see what we liked most from this year's Frankfurt expo. 5th Place – MERCEDES-BENZ IAA CONCEPT View 12 Photos MIKE AUSTIN: The clean lines on this concept have me excited for a more elegant beauty to future Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Next to the Concept IAA, the lovely S-Class Coupe looks like an overstyled barge. DAVID GLUCKMAN: Yeah, the extendable rear is neat and all, but I'm more interested in the front-end styling of this one. It looks like the Tron version of a 300SL, in a good way. I'm hopeful it portends the future of Mercedes design. STEVEN EWING: I was super impressed when Mercedes said that, with the rear end extended, this concept has a drag coefficient of just 0.19. That's crazy aerodynamic. I'm not head-over-heels about the styling, but I think the lessons learned from this concept are really important, and will play a huge role in the future of Mercedes' products. 4th Place – ALFA ROMEO GIULIA View 15 Photos SEYTH MIERSMA: I can hardly express how in love with this car I am. The styling feels creative, modern, and evocative, without going over the top. The proposed performance is spectacular. And the Alfa badge speaks to a legacy of romantic motoring. DAVID GLUCKMAN: Pretty Italian car makes big promises and will probably deliver on about three quarters of them. I think that will still be enough for me. JEREMY KORZENIEWSKI: I'm really intrigued by the Giulia. It looks great, sounds awesome, and I'm expecting it to have a load more character than its German rivals. I hope I'm not disappointed. 3rd Place – JAGUAR F-PACE View 15 Photos GREG MIGLIORE: It's the first SUV for Jaguar, and I think they nailed the design, capability, and electronics. It's the right car at the right time.
A closer look at the 2015 Porsche Macan
Wed, 27 Nov 2013
He assured us that "this is a sports car."
Porsche took the wraps off its all-new 2015 Macan at the LA Auto Show last week, and while it's easy to write it off as just a badge-engineered version of the Audi Q5, you'd be very, very wrong. For starters, 75 percent of the car's platform was re-engineered by the Porsche team, and with a choice of two twin-turbocharged engines, the Macan should absolutely live up to the brand's pedigree.
