This is a no reserve auction for a 1977 Porsche 924 Martini & Rossi edition.  Approximately 3000 of the cars were produced to commemorate Porsche’s racing victories in the previous years with a plaque on the center console of the car to this end.


This particular car was originally sold in Portland Oregon in 1977 and then purchased by the previous owner in 1978 and brought back to Seattle Washington where it spent the remainder of it’s life until I purchased the car last year and brought it back home to Portland.


Exterior and Body:


The body is in decent condition for a car of this age.  There is no major rust anywhere to be found although there are some dings and touchups that have been done over the years.  It looks to have been repainted at some point in its original color.  As can be seen in the photos, the front valence is worn and there are some rock chips on the hood where there is some minor surface rust.


Interior:


The interior is all original down to the Blaupunkt 8-track tape player and is in fantastic condition.  The seats and carpet still have a deep red hue and look great.  The original leather steering wheel is still with the car as well.  The dash is cracked in places as can be seen in the photos but other than that it looks almost new.


Mechanical:


The car runs, drives, stops, and shifts through all the gears.  I drive the car on the weekends and have not had any issues.  There are no fluid leaks since replacing the oil pan gasket, no smoke, and the car starts right up.  Since picking up the car I had the following done by an independent Porsche shop.


Replaced oil pan gasket, oil filter, fuel filter, and oil change.

Replaced Timing belt and tensioner.

Replaced engine mounts with new ones from vibra-technics.

Replaced headlamp relay and switches so headlights are now fully functioning.

New Toyo tires all around.


Everything works on the car other than the odometer which stopped at 102892 miles.  The previous owner guessed that about 20000 miles were put on since then but I cannot verify so mileage is unknown.


Other:


The car has had the EGR equipment disabled or removed.  The buyer must do due diligence to understand the emissions requirements for their state.  The car passed Oregon emissions and has current tags good through November 2015.


Buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements.  The car is located in Portland Oregon.  This is a 37 year old car and has not undergone any type of complete restoration either mechanical or cosmetic.  The car is being sold As Is.


I have a clean and clear title for the car and original manuals.  A 500 dollar deposit is due within 24 hours of the auction end and the balance is due within
7 days of auction end.  Please ask any and all questions before bidding.


This is a nice original example of this edition and an interesting part of Porsche’s history.  Good luck and happy bidding.

Chris Harris hits the track with the Porsche Cayman GT4

Wed, Mar 11 2015

The Porsche Cayman GT4 offers the first legitimate chance for Porsche's more compact coupe to really step out of the long shadow of its brother the 911. By placing the 385-horsepower Carrera S engine into the center of a Cayman and sweetening the package with a ton of truly high performance parts, the model can now really show off. The ever-enthusiastic Chris Harris puts on quite a display behind the wheel of the German brand's latest hardcore creation. As is his wont, Harris slides the GT4 all over the Portimao circuit with little wisps of smoke wafting up from its rear Michelin tires. However, what he gets really excited about is Porsche's decision to fit a real manual gearbox, rather than the PDKs rapidly taking over the company's highest performance vehicles. For anyone who loves seeing a sports car's oily bits, stay tuned all the way through because after hooning around for awhile, Harris puts the model up on a lift to find out what's so special. Porsche touts the GT4's 911 GT3-derivied front suspension, but this really shows just how many mechanical adjustments it offers the demanding driver. Related Video:

Production Porsche 918 Spyder images leak out of Chinese patent office

Wed, 26 Dec 2012

A few images of what looks to be the production Porsche 918 Spyder are here to say hello, courtesy of a patent office in China. If these provide an accurate look at what the hybrid supercar will look like, there are a few differences between it and the latest examples of the pre-production prototypes our spy shooters have seen.
The jerry-rigged turn signals inside the headlight enclosures and on the front fenders on the prototype are replaced with more polished units inside the headlamps located underneath the main beams. Behind that, the door handles have been swapped from horizontal latches on the door to vertical openings located just behind the door shutline.
We've also seen a Martini-liveried version of the 918 Spyder that has extra carbon elements that don't appear on this car. It was at the Nürburgring with carbon lips on the front fenders and another carbon element that hung from the rear fenders and ran down to the rear diffuser. When we saw the car on our Deep Dive piece, the front lips were gone but that rear piece remained, and we can't tell from the brochure and options sheet that we've seen so far what it comes with. The wheels from the concept and the green brake calipers, minus the polycarbonate covers, should be the standard fitment while the ten-spoke magnesium wheels will be a 29,750-euro (about $39,000 US) option.

Autoblog Unplugged: 2015 Porsche 911 Targa 4S

Tue, Feb 10 2015

The day began cold and clear. It felt like a perfect late autumn afternoon to flog the 2015 Porsche 911 Targa 4S on the backroads west of Detroit. So it seemed, anyway. An impromptu snow squall came out of nowhere, dampening the roads and our spirits, though the latter quickly were lifted as we began putting our German sports car through its paces. Quite simply, the 911 Targa 4S is up for almost everything. The all-wheel-drive system kept us poised and secure – it takes a bit to unsettle this 911 when all four wheels are clawing at the pavement. We still had 400 horsepower on tap, which is a riot to channel via the seamless PDK gearbox in any condition. Yes, this is a Targa, so even in the snow we dropped the top, cranked the seat heaters and had a heck of a good time. It's hard not to when you're motoring in something that starts at more than $120,000. Still, weather in Michigan can throw anyone a curve. We dealt with it, and luckily, you don't have to. In this Autoblog Unplugged you get all the good stuff. The purr and whine of the engine. Up-close shots of the Targa as it tackles the road – and best of all – no talking. Unplugs are all about driving. Thus, we'll shut up. Please enjoy.
