I've had this car for a few years and upgrades during that time have included new paint in the original color of Bahia Red, new leather seat upholstery, restoration of the 911 Fuchs wheels, new tires, new clutch, new windshield, new light lenses, and many other small details. The previous owner (of 15 years) upgraded the car to 911 suspension, 911 brakes, and Bilstein shocks. Needless to say, it handles and stops like a dream.

This car still has its original fuel injection and fires right up without delay every time. It's a good-looking, excellent-running, and fun driver, yet it is far from flawless. Items that still require attention include (but are not limited to):

Passenger outside door latch not working. There's a small plastic piece inside these that is probably broken. The door opens fine from the inside.
The previous owner installed an aggressively low front valence (see photos). I recently removed this in order to make dealing with driveways and speed bumps less annoying, however I will include the valence with the sale.
Dashboard needs to be replaced or recovered.
After having the car repainted, the rear trunk lid fit is a little off on the passenger side (see photos). I don't know what the painters did to cause this and I don't know how to repair it on my own or I would have done it prior to putting the car up for sale. It's only a minor cosmetic flaw, yet I wouldn't leave the car sitting out on a rainy day just in case water might be able to leak into the trunk. In fact, I wouldn't leave this car sitting out on a rainy day anyway.
All window seals (except for the windshield, which was recently replaced) are old and most likely original. It's probably time to replace them. In the meantime, there will be wind noise if you drive with the top on and the windows up. (Yeah, right. Like you're actually going to be driving this toy with the top on and the windows up!)
It leaks oil. You want to place something under the car to prevent staining your garage floor. I've looked into repairing this, and have basically been told that it's something that should be addressed (engine seals) when I'm ready to completely rebuild the motor. Since the car runs strong, I've decided to just live with the oil leak in the meantime.
There might be other things I'm not thinking about at the moment. Come see it in person!

I prefer local buyers so that you can see the car in person first. That said, the last two cars I sold on eBay went out of state and the buyers were happy (see my feedback). If you want it shipped, you make the arrangements. Also, I prefer cash, but PayPal will work as well. If you have another method of payment in mind, please contact me to discuss this BEFORE making on offer or clicking on Buy It Now.

Motor Trend puts Chevy Camaro Z28 and Porsche 911 GT3 Head 2 Head

Mon, Dec 29 2014

Motor Trend admits, "This is an unfair comparison." But that doesn't make it any less fun to watch when they pit a Camaro Z/28 against the Porsche 911 GT3. The former has a 7.0-liter V8 with 505 horsepower and 481 pound-feet of torque shifted through a six-speed manual. The latter has a 3.8-liter flat-six with 475 hp and 324 lb-ft shifted through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Yet those are only the little disparities – the big disparities are mass and money: the Camaro weighs 3,882 pounds and costs $76,150 as-tested, the Porsche weighs 3,267 pounds and costs $145,785. But they're both about hardcore performance, so MT takes them out on the street, to the drag strip, to the parking lot for figure eights and a skidpad test, and finally to Big Willow for Randy Pobst to give his professional assessment. Remember when a lotta people spent a lotta time debating Pirates vs. Ninjas? This is like that, only it's the "haul-ass good-time car" vs. the "track surgeon." Enjoy the debate in the video.

Well hello, Carice, you Porsche-aping EV cutie

Wed, Jul 9 2014

Ah, the joy that comes open-air motoring with the in your hair and the roar of the exhaust behind you. Well, maybe not as much anymore. In recent years, vehicles like the Tesla Roadster have made the concept of the electric sports car palatable. Now, Dutch automaker Carice is following suit with a classically inspired EV speedster called the MK1. The MK1 clearly wears its design inspiration on its sleeve. It would be difficult to look at this styling and not immediately see a Porsche 356 Speedster; It has the same upside-down bathtub shape with big round headlights and likely the tiniest taillights on a production car in years. The Carice is also clearly meant for fair weather motoring because there's no top, just a tonneau cover to protect the interior from the rain while it's sitting. One thing that the Dutch company is definitely getting right is the weight. It claims that the MK1 weighs a dainty 772 pounds, including the battery pack. The low weight doesn't mean the MK1 is going to be lighting quick, though. It's being offered with a choice of three electric motors with 5 horsepower (for 16-year-old drivers in the Netherlands), 20 hp or 53 hp, and there are two sizes of battery pack. Buyers can also opt for a range-extending internal combustion engine. The 53-hp motor allows for a top speed of 62 miles per hour and a 124-mile range with the larger battery. Carice says its also willing to fit larger batteries or more power motors, at the buyer's expense, of course. Carice plans to build an initial production run of 10 cars with prices starting at 22,000 euros, before Dutch taxes (about $30,000). The company hasn't released a press release about the MK1, but you can learn more about speedster on its website; it's in Dutch, though.

Proof the world revolves around the Porsche Cayman

Sat, 27 Apr 2013

Or at least the world revolves underneath the Porsche Cayman, in the latest video showing off Stuttgart's mid-engine coupe. Porsche put an Easter egg in the world that spins triple-time, a "famous relative" of the Cayman hidden somewhere on the marble planet, and gave a Porsche Martini bag to one of the first 50 people who could point it out.
With more than 300 views there's no chance you'll win the bag, but you can still go on the treasure hunt in the video below.
