First of all,I'll start by saying you can get in this car,start it up and take off. It's a daily driver which I had full intention of restoring but at 6 3' inches tall-I find myself pretty squeezed in there so I've come to the realization that even though I wanted one of these for over 20 years-it's not for me anymore.

The car has been through a few owners over the years and each one has done a few things to the car...including myself.

It will need some parts to complete but it is safe to roll around anywhere as is. I have the carpet kit for it in the rear trunk,the front trunk is in super good condition,the glass is good,the floors are good(they have been sealed by me),the "Hell hole" is not bad but there is a rust section on the lower right rocker panel near the rear of the door.

I have a new racing motor mount for it that goes with the car. It has a new battery,alternator and have been recently serviced. It's lowered slightly with Panasport wheels and Pirelli tires which still have plenty of tread on them.

The stereo is all there but it is not hooked up at the moment,the odometer is not working and you will need some wiper arms and blades. They were taken and I did order some from eBay and I never received them. I have a case pending on that one. That ticked me off something fierce.

The engine doesn't burn or leak oil and the transmission shifts fine and doesn't grind at all if you downshift.

The rear trunk has no rust as does the front. There is a small amount of surface rust in the engine bay where the paint has come off over the years but it is nothing major. There is some bubbling on the front fender and if I was going to do it right-I'm probably think about finding a different fender instead of saving this one.

I will take many more pictures tomorrow or Tuesday so that you can get a better idea of what is here. It's not bad by any means but it is not a "show car". It does however,garner attention when you drive it on the streets.

You will want to acquire an antenna as well. I've been looking for a correct rubber one but no dice just yet.

The rear trunk lock had been replaced and the reflective "PORSCHE" section is not there. Those are out there though and shouldn't be difficult to locate.

With a little TLC and some love-this thing will be sick! Depends what you want to do. I take it out 2 times a week and get it up on the freeway and through the streets here downtown it keep everything good to go. It's basically like driving a go-cart.

If it doesn't sell,I'm not even going to worry about it. I'll just keep it and figure it all out somehow.

Thanks, Jason

The original Bosch fuel injection is all there and hooked up. This has not been modified to carbs. It all works great so I saw no need to mess with it and would rather it be original rather than "mickey-moused".

Best compact SUVs of 2022

Thu, Oct 20 2022

Compact SUVs are now the go-to choice for family transportation. Actually, considering how popular they are, they have clearly moved beyond only family duty. With such popularity, though, comes an awful lot of competitors, and it can be difficult to figure out which one might be the best compact SUV for you.Â It's important to note that by "compact SUV" we're talking about a specific segment. As we describe in our more comprehensive "Best small SUVs" list, there are also subcompact SUVs that vary widely in size amongst themselves, but are clearly smaller than the SUVs below. Frankly, today's segment of compact SUVs isn't exactly compact — some have more cargo space than vehicles that are considered midsize based on their exterior dimensions. They've all grown considerably over the years. While many lists out there just rattle off every vehicle available in a segment, we thought we'd be a bit more helpful and curate your shopping a bit with the top-recommended choices reviewed by Autoblog. We've included both mainstream and compact luxury SUV choices. Best compact SUVs of 2023 and 2024 2024 Honda CR-V Why it stands out: Best-in-class space; excellent hybrid powertrain; sharp interior style; Honda dependabilityCould be better: No lower-price base trim levels; no sporty or off-road niche models; no plug-in hybrid Read our full 2024 Honda CR-V Review Consider the CR-V the baseline for any compact SUV search, and look extra closely at the superb CR-V Hybrid option. Objectively speaking, it's tough to beat due to its massive cargo capacity, voluminous back seat, strong-yet-efficient engines, well-balanced driving dynamics, competitive pricing and features,Â and well-regarded reliability. It's easy to see why it continues to be such a best-seller: for the vast majority of compact SUV buyers, and especially families, it checks every box. That's been the case for many years now, however. The all-new 2023 Honda CR-V changes things up by adding a bit more style and character, particularly in terms of its interior design and how surprisingly enjoyable the Sport and Sport Touring hybrid trim levels are to drive.

Porsche gives Nick Murray exactly what he deserved [w/video]

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

The tale of Nick Murray and his lemon Porsche 911 appears to have come to a satisfactory end. As noted in the original story about Murray, he and Porsche Cars North America met and came to a resolution. However, we didn't know exactly what that meant, until now.
Murray has created a new video explaining that PCNA offered to buy back the car at full price or give him an exact replacement for it. This was exactly what he was asking for. Murray remains pro-Porsche in the new video. "I am definitely considering reordering a Porsche 911," he says.
Porsche also posted a message on its Facebook page that clarified the situation. "We at Porsche have always sought excellence in all that we do. We know you expect it of us. And when we don't meet that standard, we make every effort to improve," said a portion of the note.

Porsche close to fix for 911 GT3 engine fires

Sun, 16 Mar 2014

It looks like 2014 Porsche 911 GT3 drivers might actually get to drive their cars again soon. Reports of fires affecting the track-ready Germans first began about a month ago. Then, a few days later, the automaker confirmed two of the five alleged blazes and said owners shouldn't drive their cars until further notice. Porsche then went so far as to offer to pick up the GT3s and transport them to the nearest dealer until the problem was identified and a fix was found. Finally, there appears to be a repair.
"We know the reason and the problem-solving measures. We're testing them," said Porsche CEO Matthias Müller to Bloomberg. The technical fix will be released to owners shortly.
The recall affects all 785 GT3s that have been sold so far, but there have been no reported injuries caused by the fires. When it first announced the safety campaign, Porsche said: "Internal studies to determine the cause of the engine damage have not been completed yet."
