|
Condition:
Exterior: 90% original paint. Clean CarFax, no accidents. When I acquired the car in December of 2013, the car was very original and solid, but was lacking the final "polish" to show well. So I gave it to to my favorite paint/body guy with the brief to "brush this up this slightly where needed, but maintain the originality above all." Work completed included full detail, blending some new paint around the flares (stone chips and the such only, no dents or body work) and front spoiler and rockers, the wheel lips were polished and any curb rash was repaired (all four 16" Fuchs are original to the car). A couple door and sun roof seals were replaced as were a couple old cloudy light lenses and light gaskets. But, this car is VERY original, no body work ever. Total bill was about $3,400. Interior: Like the exterior, the car just needed some polish. I ordered and installed a new custom carpet kit from Classic Carpets in Belgium ($661 Euros + shipping), that looks absolutely Factory NOS, re-upolstered and re-clothed the driver's seat (wear from 27 years of an ass on that seat), cleaned the original leather and swapped the worn steering wheel for a NOS vintage Momo Prototipo ($1,000). The headliner was also tightened in the few places it was sagging. Total interior bill, about $4,800 w/ carpet kit and wheel. If you PREFER the factory wheel, I'm having that restored in Florida, so you could have that instead when done, but then I keep the vintage MOMO/get it back. Mechanical: The legendary Andial re-built the motor at about 101,000 miles (car has a little over 104,000 now), re-did the brakes, etc. I will post the work order. I let my mechanical guys at the car, and they could not find a thing to fix, short of replacing a light bulb in the left driving light and a couple other interior bulbs. Known issues: A small stain on the cloth rear passenger side seat (see picture), slight wear on the leather sport seat bolsters (see pictures) and usual marks from 27 years of low miles used per year (averaged 4K a year driven). The cassette player is also missing the dust cover door. Overall: This car was owned by the same guy in Southern California from 1988 to December 2013 when I bought it. It was his dream car and it was never parked outdoors overnight. While it was used sparingly (to the average of about 4K miles a year), it is a VERY solid, very original, very well kept car. I have the window sticker from the Porsche dealer where the 2nd owner bought it in 1988, they had it Federalized. It's passed smog every year except for one year (pre-engine re-build) and it's currently registered and smog-cleared. This is a no-excuses 930 that matches the window sticker and the Porsche COA I had ordered in every way. So, you've got a car with a window sticker from the Porsche Dealer who sold it as a used Gray market car in 1988, a Porsche COA issued in December of 2013, an single owner history of 27 years, $40,000 in work receipts done over the last 3,000 miles driven, including an Andial engine rebuild (Google them, they are legend for Porsche engines). It's also a very unique color combo, very period, very European, and not something boring you'll see ten of at the next Porsche owner's event. VIN decode: W = Germany P = Porsche 0 = sports car J = G model turbo coupe B= G model turbo engine 0 = no air bags 93 = 911 9 = checksum digit G = 1986 S = Stuttgard built (right plant for 911) 050065 = serial # So, a "WP0" car was built for any market that was not the US or Canada. Thus, "Gray Market" imported (again, not an issue at all as long as there is a clean title and smog, which there is). Some collectors prefer US cars as they are "100% as intended" and some collectors prefer the Euro cars as they – generally – have more power (less smog stuff) and cleaner bumpers/turn signals. On Apr-21-14 at 19:36:23 PDT, seller added the following information: At 101,677, Andial rebuilt the engine, the front and rear brakes and did a number of small items for $19,013.46 and $2,756.77. The car also comes with all the service records and owners manuals going back to the 80s. |

Singer 911 gorgeousness explored and experienced by Chris Harris
Thu, 17 Jan 2013Few things get us as cranked up as a Porsche 911. Generation after generation, this rear-engined oddity has exhilarated our senses, and the new 991 is the most capable iteration yet. Even so, there's a lot to be said for the older models, from their lighter weights and more modest dimensions to their air-cooled thrums.
That elemental vintage Porsche appeal hasn't been lost on Los Angeles-based Singer Vehicle Design, which has endeavored to take the best bits from every generation of 911 and combine them into one impossibly sexy rear-engined machine. Based on a 964 donor car, we knew that a lot of work would need to go into everything from the structure to the bodywork to realize the Singer's cohesive aesthetic and dynamic vision, but we didn't know just how much until we watched this Drive video featuring Chris Harris. The auto journo gets time with the 350-horsepower, Cosworth-motivated coupe on both mountain passes and at the track, but what could be the most interesting thing about the 27-minute-long video is his in-depth plant tour.
Check it out by scrolling below, but not before paging through our new Singer 911 gallery.
Porsche Fire and Ice is chilling art born of flames
Wed, 01 Jan 2014Porsche held a contest inviting ten filmmakers to riff on the tagline for the Panamera, "Thrilling Contradictions," in a 60-second film. The winner was an entry called Fire and Ice by director Ross Cohen, a concept that uses just those two elements in a premise as simple as it is rewarding. For his efforts, Cohen will receive a trip to the Chicago International Film Festival, and you might see the short in the pre-movie advertisements in a theater served by Spotlight Cinema Networks.
Porsche did this kind of thing just two years ago, when it asked filmmakers to illustrate the idea of "Everyday Magic". The winner of that contest, Michael Korbel's It's a Magical Life, followed the journey of a young man to husband and father from the perspective of the trunk of a 911. You'll find that video as well as Fire and Ice below.
Recharge Wrap-up: Porsche adds third 919 Hybrid for Le Mans, Audi to heat factory with geothermal
Wed, Nov 26 2014Porsche will be running a third 919 Hybrid LMP1 car in the 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race. The extra Porsche will race in the six-hour May 2 WEC race at Spa-Francorchamps as a lead-up to the legendary 24-hour race on June 13 and 14. Porsche hasn't announced the driver lineup for the third 919 Hybrid, but drivers will remain the same for the other two cars. Including the third car is meant to help further test performance and efficiency as part of development for future hybrid systems. Read more at Green Car Congress. BMW i Ventures is investing in Zendrive, a driving focused data and analytics company. The cooperation of the two companies is meant to help advance safety and efficiency by making the "in-car mobility experience even smoother by optimizing commuting and driving patterns," according to BMW i's Ulrich Quay. The venture capital arm of BMW's i brand also invests in JustPark, Chargepoint, Life360, Chargemaster and MyCityWay, and says it will have more strategic investment announcements in the coming months. Read more in the press release below. The Audi Hungaria factory in Gyor, Hungary will soon be getting geothermal energy from a nearby plant being constructed in Per. When the facility is finished, Audi expects to source 82,000 megawatt hours of geothermal energy per year from it, or about six percent of its total heating needs. The clean energy helps Audi move "step by step along a path to developing a CO2-neutral production plant," says Audi's Dr. Hubert Waltl. "The mobility of the future must be CO2-neutral – and that applies not only to the use of our vehicles, but also to their production." Read more in the press release below. Supporters have begun a petition drive for the passage of an E15 ordinance in Chicago. Despite pushback from oil companies, the city council is close to passing the "Chicago Clean Air Choice Ordinance," which includes the requirement by retailers to sell the 15-percent ethanol gasoline blend in the city. The ordinance includes an exception for stations selling less than 850,000 gallons of fuel per year. More than 4,000 people have signed the petition so far, with others leaving messages to voice their opinion on the matter in opposition to Big Oil's attempt to block it. Read more at Domestic Fuel.
