This is a 1984 Sunroof Carrera, 5 speed
brought to you in the rare and desirable color of Rubinrot (Ruby Red) over beige/tan leather interior. The car
(which I named “Emma”) has 175,755 miles. She is an original Northern California car that, other than a five
year stint in Arizona, has remained in California ever since. According to the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity
(which is included with the car) Emma was “born” on 12/01/1983 and delivered to Martin Johnson Porsche Audi in
Oakland, Ca where she was sold to the original owner on 01/17/84.
I have a 2” thick binder (which will be included with the car) filled with interesting history and service
records dating back to the mid-90s. It is fascinating that every owner added to the binder, with their
improvements. It even has all the bill of sales from each title transfer. It’s interesting to see the value
increase with every sale.
The original owner sold the car in the late 90s with 97,881 miles. In the past 2 decades, Emma has gone through the
hands of 5 owners, each a care-taker of this beautiful ride and improving on it’s condition. The binder clearly
shows what each owner did to ensure that this car was reliable, functional, well maintained and most of all, a
blast to drive! Each care-taker made their improvement, enjoyed the car, then passed it on to the next care-taker.
The majority of the paint is original but there was spot painting in 2007. According to the receipt, this included
the front bumper and spoiler as well as the drivers door and right side quarter panel. The paint shows very well
considering it’s age but there are some scratches on the passenger door as well as some minor chips elsewhere as
would be expected on a car of this age. However the shine is great and the clear-coat is solid. The silver
“CARRERA" decals complement the silver spoked Fuchs wheels very nicely!
Here are some enhancements that the car has received over the years:
Lowered to European specs and a performance alignment. (Handles great!)
After-market oil cooler. (Runs about 1/3 the way up the temp gauge.)
After-market stereo is just so-so sounding.
It has “Turbo tie-rod ends” and a bump-steer kit.
After-market shifter bushings and a Weitmeister short shift kit, but the shifting feel is just so-so. (In my
opinion.)
After-market upgraded AC system that blows VERY cold! (This was install 11,000 miles ago, by the Arizona owner.)
Here is a brief list of repairs done in the past 50K miles or so, and associated odometer readings and costs:
Chain tensioners and misc. 120366 $1,348
F&R struts inserts and housings. 125914 $2,110
“Major service” and misc. 128604 $1,452
New clutch kit and misc. 135050 $1,893
CV Joints, sway bar link 141371 $1,399
“Major service” and misc. 142643 $1,185
Rebuilt rack and new wheel bearings 160*** +/- ??
The seats and carpet were replaced with new proper materials, back in 2007. (They look nearly mint condition!) The
headliner is perfect.
When I bought the car, it had a sport exhaust on it that was installed by the previous owner in Arizona. In order
to pass smog in CA, I had to put it back to stock, with new CATS. I bought the car with 173K miles and here is what
I’ve done in the past 3K miles:
All new exhaust including new catalytic converters
Front and rear brake pads
New deck lid gas strut
New plugs
New cap and rotor
New hood gas strut
Oil change with Swepco 20/50 (Twice)
New o-ring, vent hose and oil pressure switch (To eliminate minor leaks.)
After the above service, I drove it to the smog shop to get it smogged. The technician commented that there was
something wrong. When I asked him what it was, he mentioned that the emissions seemed impossibly low. (See picture)
I guess that’s what you get with new CATS and a complete tune-up!
All gauges and lights work. Sunroof and power windows work nice and smooth. Tires have about 60-70% tread left. As
mentioned above, the brake pads are essentially new, front and rear. Things that don’t work or need attention:
The clock doesn’t work.
I get an occasional grind into first gear. (Or maybe it’s into second gear??)
Cruise control doesn’t seem to work. (Or I don’t know what I am doing?)
I can let this car set for 2-3 months and just turn the key and it starts, idles, runs and drives flawlessly. Oil
temp stays cool and oil pressure is great. Bottom line: this is a well sorted, reliable and fun car to drive!

Singer 911 gorgeousness explored and experienced by Chris Harris
Thu, 17 Jan 2013Few things get us as cranked up as a Porsche 911. Generation after generation, this rear-engined oddity has exhilarated our senses, and the new 991 is the most capable iteration yet. Even so, there's a lot to be said for the older models, from their lighter weights and more modest dimensions to their air-cooled thrums.
That elemental vintage Porsche appeal hasn't been lost on Los Angeles-based Singer Vehicle Design, which has endeavored to take the best bits from every generation of 911 and combine them into one impossibly sexy rear-engined machine. Based on a 964 donor car, we knew that a lot of work would need to go into everything from the structure to the bodywork to realize the Singer's cohesive aesthetic and dynamic vision, but we didn't know just how much until we watched this Drive video featuring Chris Harris. The auto journo gets time with the 350-horsepower, Cosworth-motivated coupe on both mountain passes and at the track, but what could be the most interesting thing about the 27-minute-long video is his in-depth plant tour.
Check it out by scrolling below, but not before paging through our new Singer 911 gallery.
Russian President Putin's new limo makes debut ahead of 2017 production
Tue, Apr 5 2016What's the best way to ignore an international money-laundering scandal that's allegedly revealed your link to $2 billion in off-shore accounts? Why yes, you get a new car. While information from the so-called Panama Papers is still being uncovered, Russian President Vladimir Putin's new Russian-made ride has been unveiled. Unlike US President Barack Obama's Cadillac-badged Beast, Putin's Kortezh will be available to any Russian that has the means. A total of 5,000 will be built in four different styles – limo, sedan, SUV, and minivan – although only 200 will roll off production lines next year, Sputnik News reports. Deliveries are expected to start in late 2017, while assembly will carry on through 2020, the Moscow Times reports. Commerce and Industry Minister Denis Mantrurov confirmed that Porsche has been brought in to help develop the Kortezh's powertrain. Whether that engine ends up being the turbocharged V12 we reported on way back in October 2014 isn't clear, though. Regardless of what's sitting under that long hood, we're betting it's going to be extremely powerful. Putin will likely take delivery of the Kortezh in 2017. Related Video:
The 11 best scenes from the 2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed
Tue, Jun 30 2015Over the last three days, the Goodwood Estate has played home to the eponymous Festival of Speed. Thrown by the biggest gearhead in the British aristocracy – Charles Gordon-Lennox, the Earl of March and Kinrara – the Festival of Speed is essentially a tremendous, gasoline-fuelled party, complete with a very large lawn sculpture, that features the world's hottest, weirdest, fastest, and loudest race, production, and historic models. While there are quite literally dozens and dozens of videos from the event – not to mention the full-day replays (of which only day one is available, at present) – we've sifted through them to pluck away the very best. There's stuff from the official Goodwood YouTube channel, as well as several videos from automakers and other third-party channels, and it's all available below. 2015 Ford Mustang GT350R Looks Barely Controllable If you thought the highest-performance Ford Mustang would somehow get more tractable or civilized once it moved to an independent rear suspension, this video shows you have nothing to worry about. Watch as an unnamed driver wrestles the new Shelby GT350R and its flat-plane, 5.2-liter V8 up the hillclimb circuit. Even with the new suspension and sticky tires, this Mustang wants to go any direction but straight, especially following its launch. 2016 Ford Focus RS, Is Very Loud, Blue Ken Block makes his first appearance on our list. Before he steps into his Hoonicorn Mustang, though, the Gymkhana expert tackled the hill in the all-new Focus RS. The vicious bellow of the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder is the star of this commentary-free video, although the gorgeous Nitrous Blue paint job is a nice accompaniment, as well. 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn Runs Hill, Nearly Kills Lord March Mr. Block's two runs behind the wheel of the Hoonicorn were, unsurprisingly, very eventful. While one attempt goes off without a hitch, seeing the American rally driver slip and slide his way to the top of the hill while taking a short break for a donut, the other is slightly more dramatic. Block, along with Lord March in the passenger seat, carries a bit too aggressive an angle into a turn and nearly puts the NASCAR-powered Mustang into the hay bales. Check out the first video above, and the second one below. Kimi Raikkonen Makes Us Miss F1's V8 Era The latest Formula One cars have been maligned for the lackluster noise produced by the new 1.6-liter, turbocharged V6.
