This is a very nice car with a bit of a soiled history. Sold new here in Southern California and serviced regularly and well kept, changed hands a couple times and then was involved in a single car accident that damaged the passenger side front suspension. The insurance company totalled it and it was sold at auction to the owner of a local body shop. He put it on the frame machine and got it back in alignment without much issue at all. There was no body damage, it was just under the car, so no paintwork was needed. He started driving the car and stated that it ran and drove very well and he was having a blast with it when one day it started running poorly. Water was mixing with the oil somehow and so he parked the car at his shop and just let it sit. I came along with a pocket full of dreams and brought the car back to my garage, gave it a quick clean up and parked it next to my other Porsche as eye candy...it really looks nice. I have done nothing with it other than a quick attempt to start it when I first hauled it home...it turned over slowly and fired at least a couple times, but with all the sludge in it I didn't push my luck. It did seem that the electrical parts of the car were in good shape. The body shop owner did say that the central driveline was making a vibration noise when he drove it so he did pick up another one from one of his parts vendors and that is included with the sale. The car is in nice shape with only a few dings here and there, the biggest one being a small spot on the passenger side rear bumper that cracked the taillight lens as well. The lens on the drivers side also has a crack but that is really the worst of it body wise. With a coat of wax it shines up really nice and it looks like a million bucks here in my man cave! Interior is in nice shape overall, seats look good, a couple of small cracks on the dash pad and a couple of dirt spots here and there on the carpet that will probably clean up with a little effort. Kenwood stereo with remote, all the manuals and service books and even the original plastic glove for changing tires are here. There is even a vial of original touch up paint! The car shows well and Im sure with some effort and throwing a pile of hundred dollar bills at it...it will once again run as good as it looks. I dont know if the coolant/oil mix is due to a head gasket or the transmission/ oil cooler that is in the radiator (people have told me this is a common thing) I just have not checked into it at all. I just parked it and wipe it down with the car duster from time to time. One of the issues the car has is paperwork, this being a part of the reason I have not pushed hard to fix it. There are a bunch of back fees due to the California DMV and the body shop owner never completed the registration and post-salvage inspection. He started the process and when the car stopped running he just dropped it all. I ran the numbers through a title service I have worked with and it is all clean, as in no past theft or anything, but he told me there may be as much as $1700 in fees as well as the need for the brake and lamp inspection, emissions testing and all that in order to get it titled and on the road. I figured I would attend to it when I have it running...which I have never done, so I regrettably must sell is AS-IS on a bill of sale only. I have no physical title for the car and will not jump through the hoops to get one. (sorry) If the car is going out of state, I would imagine that the back fees in California can be avoided completely, on the salvage history, I have no clue. Im happy to sign whatever is needed and am still in contact with the previous owner at the body shop and he is a straight up guy that I imagine would help if needed as well. The car seems far too nice to end up being just a parts car, but I suppose if it all went to help keep another one on the road, that would be OK...or I am sure it can be repaired and get back on the highway itself where these cars really shine! I love the car and have dreamed about getting it on the road for a while, just love the look of it , but I have decided that I would rather sell it off to someone with the time to fix the issues and then spend my time on my other cars. I will get another one someday, but it will be one I only have to turn the key...not the wrench with. Low starting bid and NO RESERVE!

Porsche 911 GT3 RS facing delay over GT3 fire problems?

Mon, 24 Mar 2014

Porsche has never been afraid to introduce variants of its cars. However, its even higher spec, next-generation 911 GT3 RS may be delayed from its planned launch this summer while the engines in the standard GT3s (pictured above) are replaced.
A delay isn't certain, but executives want to make sure the high-strung mill is no longer a problem before they press forward with another model using it. Germany's Auto Motor und Sport asked Porsche CEO Matthias Müller about pushing back the launch, and he responded that it was too early to say. The company's current focus is making sure the engines get fixed and working on internal measures to prevent this kind of flaw in the future.
When fires claimed two 911 GT3s in Europe, Porsche initially stopped the model's sales and asked owners to stop driving them. It finally diagnosed the blazes as being caused by a loose screw on a connecting rod, which then resulted in crankcase damage and an oil leak. The company is replacing the engines on all 785 affected cars. A source told Autoblog that under 200 customers were actually affected, and the other cars were either at port or dealer lots. Hopefully, the recall doesn't postpone the road-going GT3 RS too far because we want to see what Porsche has up its sleeve.

Petrolicious explores long-term living with Porsche's 914/6

Thu, 15 May 2014

After its last video starred none other than the spectacular Ferrari 250 GTO, where was there for the video team at Petrolicious to go? Certainly, in the realm of classics, there are only a few other vehicles that can match the badge and pedigree of the ultra-rare Ferrari. Maybe a Jaguar D-Type or an Aston Martin DBR1? No, this latest video doesn't star either of those British icons. It stars an oft-misunderstood, occasionally derided entry from Germany's most sporting manufacturer - Porsche.
Yes, we've gone from a Ferrari 250 GTO to a Porsche 914/6. As is often the case with Petrolicious, though, the story told about the car by its owner are often more important than the make or model of car being highlighted. That's exactly the case here, as Jack Griffin talks about the 38 years he's spent with this particular Porsche.
Having been born into the Volkswagen fold and introduced to Porsche in the best way possible - behind the wheel of a 356 - Griffin has some interesting stories (including his attempt at running the 12 Hours of Sebring), and he knows a fair bit about some of the 914's attributes.

Porsche doesn't think autonomous cars fit brand

Mon, Feb 1 2016

Porsche customers have no need to worry because the company has no intention of taking away driver control by introducing autonomous tech for its vehicles. "One wants to drive a Porsche by oneself," company CEO Oliver Blume told a German newspaper, Reuters reports. For the sports car maker, this is a sensible decision, as its owners are driving enthusiasts who desire an exciting experience behind the wheel. Blume also isn't a big fan of people using their phones in the car. "An iPhone belongs in your pocket, not on the road," he told the newspaper. While Blume doesn't like some cutting-edge automotive tech, he's no Luddite. The CEO eventually wants every Porsche to be available with a hybrid powertrain option, including the 911. A plug-in version of the famous sports coupe could be ready by 2018 and have a 31-mile EV range (presumably on the European cycle), according to Reuters. The evidence suggests that Porsche is very serious about electrifying the 911. A company exec admitted the automaker had PHEVs under discussion. Spy shots (above) already showed one testing that possibly had a charger on the passenger side rear fender. The 911 PHEV would also follow logically from Porsche's recent surge to electrify its models. The Panamera and Cayenne already offer plug-in versions, and the 918 Spyder proves the system can perform. Applying that battery knowledge to the 911 is a natural move, especially with the fully electric Mission E taking another technological step forward around 2020. Related Video:
