I purchased the car in June 2012 from a professional car restorer who had originally bought the car for his wife who never liked the color to begin with and ended up buying another Porsche to restore for his wife in Gold color and put the blue one on Ebay.
The car was shipped to me by a careless driver that ended up cracking the gas tank at delivery, unfortunately for me I did notice the fact one week later as I saw the minor signs of a leak under the gas tank. I emptied the tank and kept it uncap to dry it to have it repaired since the leak was minor and decide to purchase a second used tank in great condition to be on the safe side.
My intention was to complete the restoration work and enjoy the car for the East Cost sunny week ends....time went by before and before I had the time to even think about it, winter sets in, the car has been under a double layer of thick tarp to prevent any unnecessary body damages since then.
I came to the conclusion that I will not have the time to continue the work done by the previous owner that you can also contact to confirm the following description.
The car runs great with all electrical power functioning, the transmission will need to be serviced as well as the engine with new oil has the car has been seating covered on my driveway since June 2012.
With car cam a brand new power steering line,  new front brake pads, new KN filter, new fuel filter that will need to be installed replacing the old existing one, the actual power steering line has a small leak.
I purchased 
- new hood insulation pad, a used gas tank in great condition in the event that the minor leak cannot be fixed, all new belts ( timing belt-air pump belt-power steering belt- alternator belt-A/C belt)
- odometer switch reset
- sun roof motor as I was not sure if either the fuse or the relay was not working
- sun roof switch
- dash board cluster switch knobs
- right side mirror as the original was damaged by the careless delivery driver
- dash board protective pad
- brand new 5 years warranty battery
- a second set of german Porsche wheels "phone dial type" with Pirelli P6000 with 7.1x15 for the rear and 6Jx15 for the front in nearly new condition that I will sell separately for $400.00 and not part of this auction
The car need a new home with a dedicated person that will finish what the previous owner started, it will not take too much to get this car in a beautiful condition.

Salvage team boards burnt ship Felicity Ace off Azores, towing begins

Fri, Feb 25 2022

LISBON — More than a week after a ship packed with around 4,000 vehicles, including Porsches, Audis, Lamborghinis and Bentleys, caught fire in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, a salvage team managed to board the vessel on Friday and started to tow it to a safe location off the Portuguese Azores archipelago. In a statement, ship manager Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd (MOL) said the Felicity Ace remained stable, and the smoke that for days billowed from the vessel, adrift around 170 km southwest of the Azores, had stopped. The 22 crew members of the Panama-flagged Felicity Ace, which was carrying around 4,000 vehicles including Porsches, Audis and Bentleys from Germany to the United States, were evacuated last Wednesday, the day the fire broke out. Some of the vehicles are electric and their lithium-ion batteries have made the fire very difficult to extinguish, port officials have said. Previous attempts to board the ship to assess its condition and start preparing it for towing had failed due to the fire and rough seas. On Friday, the team was able to board by helicopter and the salvage boat Bear started towing the vessel to a "safe area off Azores," the ship manager said. It was not clear where exactly the vessel was being towed to. It was being escorted by two tug boats and another salvage craft equipped with firefighting gear, MOL said.

Malaise Era All-Stars

Fri, 17 May 2013

A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:

Porsche still deciding on one or two new 911 plug-in hybrids

Tue, May 29 2018

Back in March, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume told Autocar that the coming Porsche 911 plug-in hybrid "will be the most powerful 911 we've ever had." That quote portended a 992-series 911 with 700 horsepower or more. A new report in Auto Express, however, suggests Porsche is having energetic debates about just what the 911's hybrid strategy will be, and that the only agreed-upon plug-in hybrid 911 so far is a milder version to sit in the middle of the range. Putting all our rumors in a row, in January, Automobile reported on an electrically-assisted 911 with 485 hp and 561 pound-feet of torque. The new AE piece effectively endorses that, saying the mid-range hybrid would follow the program established by the all-wheel drive Cayenne e-Hybrid that produces a combined 455 hp and 516 lb-ft. The 911 would naturally use a flat-six instead of the Cayenne's 3.0-liter V6, and the sports car would be tuned for better sound response and sharper reflexes. AE says fuel economy for this hybrid should be at least 80 eMPG, with emissions of less than 80 grams per kilometer. The current base Carrera is currently rated at a maximum 38.2 mpg in the UK, with minimum emissions of 169 g/km. The hybrid, fitted with a double-clutch gearbox and Porsche's mechanical all-wheel-drive system, could run from a stop to 62 miles per hour in less than four seconds, making it more efficient than a base Carrera and much faster than a Carrera 4S. AE says there remains only "the potential for Porsche to add a second, more powerful hybrid 911," and says its sources claim that's what's "causing the most consternation behind closed doors." This one would be the twin-turbocharged, 700-hp beastie that, as a series production car, would have a hard time not usurping the 540-hp Turbo, 580-hp Turbo S, and 607-hp Turbo S Exclusive. True, the hybrid would be handicapped with a 550-pound battery pack, but the instant acceleration and handling benefits of electric AWD — with no connection between the axles — could provide the final edge over the other three. As such, it makes sense that there'd be a whole lot of debate about a flagship 911 hybrid. On the other hand, such a monster seems like an eventuality in view of Porsche's electrified aspirations, the lessons gained from the 918 Hybrid and the 919 Hybrid Le Mans racer, and the fact that CEO Blume has already spoken. The Stuttgart carmaker expects a sales mix of 25 percent electric, 25 percent hybrid, and 50 percent conventional powertrains by 2025.
