1978 Porsche 911SC - Original Unrestored Car
This is a great low mileage example of a first year 911SC Coupe. It has always been garaged and has only traveled
36,630 miles. Its totally original and it has had a recent $10,000 dollar engine out service to address chain
tensioners and head studs that were weak in this model. It's original silver paint shows well and the interior is
fantastic. It has the highly sought after
velour inserts with silver striping and the seats are in great shape. It has been professionally detailed and is
ready to use. If you have been looking for an SC coupe this one would be hard to beat.
Hagerty's Description:
History of the 1978-1983 Porsche 911
Porsche engineers don’t make mistakes very often but the U.S. spec 2.7 liter 911s built between 1975 and 1977
were plagued with engine problems when new. In 1978, Porsche put those problems behind them with the introduction
of the brilliant 3.0 liter 911SC. Porsche now finally mated a body that was capable of lasting indefinitely with an
engine that was capable of lasting nearly that long. Well maintained 911SCs are capable of 300,000 miles between
rebuilds. Power was up too from the 2.7 liter 911 although not by an enormous amount and the SC was good for a 0-60
run of about 6.3 seconds. Leather, A/C power mirrors, and forged alloy wheels became all but standard. The last
year of the car saw the addition of the first full convertible Porsche since 1965. It wasn’t quite yet the
perfect 911—that would have to wait until the 3.2 liter Carrera—timing chain tensioners and exploding airboxes
would continue to plague the 3.0 liter cars. By now though, enthusiast owners have updated these trouble spots on
most cars and the 911SC remains an excellent choice for a first Porsche.

2015 Porsche Cayman GTS
Thu, 29 May 2014The Porsche Boxster and Cayman will forever nip at the heels of their big brother, the 911 Carrera, and perpetuating this tradition are the latest GTS variants, which add yet another arrow to the quiver of the plucky mid-engined platform.
The GTS' performance enhancements boost horsepower by a mere 15 and shave a tenth from 0 to 60, but Porsche's clever product planners and engineers have stuck to their familiar formula in making the Cayman GTS more desirable than the Boxster for dyed-in-the-wool performance enthusiasts. More on that shortly.
Laps around Spain's Circuito Mallorca RennArena and the nearby Serra de Tramuntana mountain range would shed further light on how the GTS differentiates itself from lesser Caymans.
Volkswagen, Bosch reach diesel settlement worth $1.6 billion
Wed, Feb 1 2017Volkswagen Group of America and automotive parts maker Bosch reached a settlement in which the two companies will pay a combined $1.6 billion because of their roles in the automaker's diesel-emissions scandal. VW, Europe's largest automaker, will pay about $1.2 billion to either repair or buy back vehicles. Bosch said separately that it will pay more than $300 million to owners of diesel-powered Volkswagens, Audis, and Porsches. The settlement stems from emissions issues related to about 78,000 VW-made cars and SUVs with 3.0-liter V6 diesel engines that were sold in North America. VW will recall and repair about 58,000 vehicles made for the 2013-through-2016 model years. The company will also buy back, offer a trade-in credit, or terminate the leases for about 20,000 cars for the model years 2009 through 2012. The older impacted models are the Volkswagen Touareg and Audi Q7, while the newer ones are the Touareg and Q7 as well as Audi's A6, A7, A8, A8L, and Q5 models, and finally the Porsche Cayenne Diesel. Previous reports estimated the payout at closer to $1 billion. The US settlement follows one reached last year between VW and US regulators in regards to VW's 2.0-liter diesel engines. That settlement was estimated to cost VW about $15 billion and impacted owners of about 500,000 vehicles. VW has had a stop-sale on its diesel vehicles in the US since late 2015 after it was discovered that VW installed software in its diesels that allowed those vehicles to cheat emissions-testing systems. VW on Wednesday also reiterated that it would contribute $225 million towards environmental-remediation efforts in the US. Volkswagen of America CEO Hinrich J. Woebcken, in Wednesday's statement, said that "we will continue to work to earn back the trust of all our stakeholders and thank our customers and dealers for their continued patience as this process moves forward."

Preserving automotive history costs big bucks
Wed, 29 Jan 2014
$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.
