2004 Porsche 911 Cabriolet, 6-speed manual.  British racing green exterior, camel brown leather interior.  Brand new black convertible top. 

 

This is a 2 owner car.  Purchased new in late 2004 from Pacific Porsche in Southern California.  The car spent its entire life in So Cal (Hermosa Beach, to be specific which is a very affluent area) until I purchased the car 15 months ago and had it shipped to me in Philadelphia.  It was owned by a man in his mid-to-late 50’s is my guess on his age.  Since I have had the car I have put approximately 2,500 miles on it and have had it garaged the entire time.  I have put a brand new top on it as well as did some minor mechanical work to it – tune up, oil change, and new battery…

 

On the outside the car is a 9.5 out of 10.  Not a scratch/dent/or blemish to be found on the car except a few rock chips on the front.  Tires are in very good shape, rims are perfect.  As previously mentioned, there is also a brand new convertible top.   Mechanically it is pretty much perfect.  I had it checked out by a Porsche mechanic and he gave it a clean bill of health.    The inside:  I would rate this car an 8 out of 10.  The dash, door panels, and carpet are all in phenomenal shape.  The only reason I rank it as an ‘8’ is that each one of the leather seats could use some patchwork.  I  detailed the small issues in the pics as accurately and honestly as I can.  The seats despite the two small holes, they are in good shape.  If you want this car to be a 10 in every aspect, you could certainly redo the seats.  I have gotten some estimates to redo both seats to the exact dye of the Porsche leather and it will run approx. 2K.  I’m sure you could get it done quite a bit cheaper but those are the quotes to do the entire job perfectly. 

 

I have babied all of my cars but I am getting rid of many of my toys – I have a 2007 BMW 550i (also a stick shift) that is in absolutely flawless shape as well as my 1986 Volvo 240 (again, 5 speed manual) that is in superb shape, and a Wellcraft 22 foot bow rider.   

 

 

I have included pics but can get more upon request.  Below is the carfax report that I kept from my purchase last year.  Do not let the miles fool you.  This is one of Porsche’s best engines produced.  If properly cared for and not abused, this car can easily top 200K miles as the engine is near indestructible on these cars.  This is a prime reason I bought it but due to some unforeseen life changes I am selling many of my possessions.    I am selling this as a very low reserve auction.  I will aid in shipping the car or can show the car personally if you are local.

2014 Porsche 911 GT3 [w/video]

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

The Bearable Lightness Of Being
Start with a standard Porsche 911 Carrera and its 350-horsepower, 3.6-liter flat six-cylinder engine. Bore a crepe-thin slice of aluminum from each cylinder to get to 3.8 liters, add a wider track out back and two extra exhaust pipes and voila, you can append an S to the Carrera's name. Hang two sets of wet, multi-disc clutches along its spine and you can make that a 4, or a 4S. Bolt on two forced-induction compressors and piping, add two fender vents and comically wide rear tires and you've redeemed your ticket to a Turbo. Increase the boost pressure and swell the corral to 560 horses and you have the Turbo S, which is the Virginia Slims of the 911 line-up because it's come a long way, baby.
Or you can go in a different direction. At that second stop, grab the 3.8-liter and cart it over to the engineers at Porsche's development center in Weissach, Germany. If racing were meat, they would be among the alpha carnivores. The baseboards in their homes are probably painted with miniature billboards for motor oil and vintage cigarettes along the straights, red-and-white stripes around every corner.

2016 Porsche 911 GT3 RS looks even better in the flesh [w/video]

Wed, Mar 4 2015

You should never, ever, ever buy a new Porsche 911 GT3 when it first comes out. That's not to say it's somehow bad. It's just that the debut of a new GT3 is, almost without fail, followed by a GT3 RS. GT3: good. GT3 RS: better. This is the latest hot 911, and it comes out shooting with a 4.0-liter flat-six, complete with 500 horsepower and 338 pound-feet of torque. As we explained earlier this morning, sitting behind the wheel of the GT3 RS means 60 miles per hour is just 3.1 seconds away. That is, frankly, a hilariously fast time for a rear-drive, naturally aspirated vehicle with just 500 hp. Consider the new Ferrari 488 GTB, if you will – it has an extra 160 horsepower, (probably) two turbochargers and two more cylinders, and it's only a tenth of a second faster to 62 than the Porsche is to 60. Any Porsche worth its salt will be as rapid in the corners as it is on the straights, and the GT3 RS is no different. It managed to trim five seconds off the standard GT3's Nurburgring time, thanks in part to Porsche's dedication to weight reduction. It's down 22 pounds on the standard car, thanks to magnesium and carbon fiber components. On top of that, Porsche pushed the aerodynamics with a track-ready rear wing and a fairly substantial front splitter. Of course, you know all of this, because we covered it this morning. Still, it seemed worth recapping as we delivered our very own, live-from-Geneva photos of the 2015 Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Take a look. Related Video: Porsche 911 GT3 RS: the Ultimate 911 for High-Performance Drivers Atlanta. The new Porsche 911 GT3 RS breaks down the barrier between road-going sports cars and race cars. It is equipped with the maximum amount of motorsport technology that is currently possible in a street-legal 911 suitable for everyday driving. Extensive modifications to its drivetrain, aerodynamics, and lightweight design take performance to an even higher level than the 911 GT3. With a Nuerburgring Nordschleife lap time of seven minutes and 20 seconds, the new 911 GT3 RS surpasses the 911 GT3 by five seconds, making it the fastest current generation 911 on the famous German racetrack. The 911 GT3 RS is celebrating its world premiere at the 2015 Geneva International Motor Show. Motorsport expertise is the driving force behind this superior performance. The 911 GT3 RS is powered by a four-liter six-cylinder engine developing 500 hp and 338 lb.-ft. of torque, combined with a specially developed PDK transmission.

Volkswagen may soon have remedy for more cheating diesels

Tue, May 10 2016

Nearly a half-million motorists who own Volkswagens equipped with 2.0-liter engines have known for a few weeks the company might wind up buying back their vehicles as part of a settlement surrounding the company's emissions cheating. But about 85,000 drivers who own similarly afflicted diesels with 3.0-liter engines have been stuck without a remedy. They may not be waiting much longer. Bloomberg reports that Volkswagen will soon propose a fix for vehicles, including those from Audi and Porsche, equipped with 3.0-liter engines that will include new software and a new catalytic converter for the vehicles. Discussions with federal regulators are ongoing, according to the news outlet. "We are cooperating with the regulatory agencies and working with them on an approved solution," says Audi spokesperson Mark Clothier. "Beyond that, we cannot comment on ongoing investigations." Regulators have alleged that the company's 3.0-liter engines contain "defeat devices," illegal software that allows a vehicle to detect when it's undergoing an emissions test and turn off pollution control during real-world driving. The defeat device allows these vehicles to increase emissions of nitrogen oxide up to nine times the Environmental Protection Agency's allowable threshold. Affected 3.0-liter vehicles include the 2014 Volkswagen Toureg, 2015 Porsche Cayenne and the 2016 Audi A6 Quattro, A7 Quattro, A8, A8L and Q5. Volkswagen is slated to finalize its plans for buying back the afflicted 2.0-liter cars and potentially offer those motorists "substantial compensation" for their troubles by June 21, and it's possible that a formal announcement on the 3.0-liter vehicles would come at the same time.
