My name is Jason and I own R7 Racing & Restoration. I buy, sell, restore, modify, customize and race water cooled, front engine Porsches exclusively. I have owned somewhere near forty Porsches and presently have a dozen "water coolers." Some of them are track cars and others are cream puffy garage queens, But, once in a while that rare, special one comes along that I like enough to spend my free time dialing in and getting just right and then enjoying for a while. Well, this Turbo has been that car for the past year for me. It's the car I should probably keep, but I have two that need to go before I start building the first GTS car in November.
So, sadly, today I am offering for sale my 1987 951. She's Zermatt Silver on Oxblood Velour/Leather. The paint was resprayed before I bought the car and looks very good with a just couple of minor imperfections and the interior is also fresh and gorgeous at every corner. The silver highlights in the crushed velour corduroy seat insets make the inside bright and modern versus the typical Porsche burgundy. It was redone recently and is all like new.
The car rolls on staggered 16" phone dials with brand new Falken tires, 205/50R16 fronts and 225/50R16 rears. The rims have no curb rash, bends or dents, but have a few paint chips as pictured. They clean up nicely and do just fine on the car. I imagine they could be refinished, plasti-dipped or just sanded and sprayed in your garage, but function is foremost for me. Take a look and see what you think.
The car has a very nice Kenwood stereo with iPod/Sat/Android/HD capabilities and a small graphic display and three way Pioneer speakers all around. The power sunroof works just fine, as do the windows, mirrors, wipers, cruise control, all lights, fogs, squirters, etc... if it has a switch, it works - it's my personal car after all.
The car has the original lightweight aluminum spare, tool kit, books, sunroof cover and a bunch of nice extras. Of course, it has records of everything I am about to list that I have done to it in the past year. All of the work is less than 2000 miles old and most is in the last 300 miles.
When I bought the car last year it had about 187,000 miles on it. The prior owner started to get the car back together and was not successful in ever getting it running. He had it for five years and, while he had it titled, it was in and out of insurance and in and out of registration. Sad to say, but he was in over his head. I quickly got the car running and have driven it a little over 2,000 miles as I dialed it in. It now has 189,500ish. I began doing a little work to it and then "presold" it to a 944Online forum member. Prior to having committed the car to a buyer, I hadn't really decided what to do with it. I hadn't gotten to know her well enough just yet. However, once it was sold, I went into overdrive getting it mechanically perfect. I started at the bottom with rod bearings, a new oil pan gasket and motor mounts. Followed by new front seals, rollers and of course timing and balance shaft belts. The car got a full cooling overhaul with the radiator pulled, flushed, pressure tested and reinstalled with a new water pump, low temp thermostat, new low temp thermoswitch and new DME temp sender. The car runs at the first line all the time. I then hit both sides and did new oil cooler seals and new AOS seals. I put 1,000 miles on the car and still had a little bit of blow-by in the intake and turbo plumbing so I sent a turbo to G-Pop shop and had the guys clip the turbo and hone the exhaust port to emulate a 26/8 turbo.
When the turbo came back, it went in with a new head gasket, a bunch of silicone vacuum, a new cycling valve and a LR boost enhancer. The car now brings in boost about 2000 RPM and builds up to about 1.7-1.8 bar. I have it set to run at about between 1-1.4 bar or 14-20lbs. It is smooth as silk and has virtually no lag compared to a stock turbo. The car is an absolute rocket ship. It has a stainless ANSA exhaust and sounds as great as it runs. It has a clean NJ inspection (legit, from a state center not one I bought) good until April of 2015. Passed on her first try. She runs very clean with all new seals and a fresh turbo.
So, after I did all the work to get the car just right, the sale, unfortunately fell apart as the buyer had some problems at home and with another car and I had this perfect car on my hands, so I registered and insured the car and have been really enjoying it - making little tweaks and tunes for the last four months. As I said, mostly everything is new. Biggest deal is the fresh Turbo, but let's not discount the head gasket and everything up, rod bearings, pan gasket, motor mounts, AOS seals, oil cooler seals, front seals and rollers, water pump, thermostat, and of course belts. Just last week, I also put new stainless fuel lines as well as the feeder from the end of the rail to the regulator and PBR semi-metallic brake pads at all four corners as well as new wear-sensors. This car is good for 30,000 trouble-free miles. If it were red it would be my wife's Christmas present. It's that nice.
I will list this car locally as well as in Excellence, Panorama, Cars.com and of course on the 944 specialty forums, so I expect it will sell quickly. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time accordingly. The car is available for viewing and test drives in NJ by appointment, I can deliver the car reasonable distances and help make arrangements for longer trips.
Please do not hesitate to email me if you have any questions or would like to arrange a visit. If you're on the fence for a 944 Turbo do not hesitate. This car is unbelievable. There is nothing else you can have in its price range that will deliver as much bang for the buck. I'm proud to offer it as prepared by my company, R7 Racing.
*** UPDATE TO THIS LISTING - After I posted my ad, the "AutoCheck" service displays a title discrepancy. It is what it is, but I would like to comment as to what this "discrepancy" is exactly. In PA, when a car has more than 100,000 miles, there is a category in the odometer statement called "exempt" and in order to maintain the car's odometer as actual mileage the odometer statement on the title at the time of sale needs to be notarized or otherwise certified. When I purchased the car, it had already fallen into the exempt category and I live and, therefore, title my vehicles in NJ. Of course New Jersey doesn't offer any way to reconcile this so my title says "mileage exceeds mechanical limitations." Again, I cannot definitively say anything other than what I know to be certain, but I am highly confident that this car has 189,600ish miles on it and that everything I found while working on it was consistent with such a reading.

Porsche to develop new line of engines for next Panamera
Sat, 22 Mar 2014When the second generation of the four-door Porsche Panamera launches, it will likely be riding a new platform, complete with an all-new family of V6 and V8 engines, according to a report coming out of the UK.
Autocar reports that the so-called MSB platform will likely underpin the Panamera, and it could be shared with Bentley, provided the Volkswagen-owned, British-built brand commits to the architecture. As for the engines, it's reported that they'll have a sportier character than the V6s and V8s being built for Volkswagen and Audi's vehicles.
"Porsche will have its own new V8 that will be common to the new MSB platform," Porsche's chief engineer, Wolfgang Hatz, said. "It's a family for the next 10 years of cars." Whether the V8 and V6 will be used outside of the Panamera line, though, remains unclear. There's also no mention of what place turbocharging would have with the new engines.
Paul Walker's father sues Porsche
Mon, Nov 30 2015Porsche will reportedly face another wrongful-death suit in connection with the death of Paul Walker. This latest suit, according to USA Today, was filed by the late actor's father and the executor of his will. In the suit, Paul William Walker III claims that the Porsche lacked the safety equipment that could have saved the life of his son, actor Paul William Walker IV. The case dates back almost two years, to the day when Walker and his associate Roger Rodas were traveling in a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT. Rodas lost control of the car, which struck a lamppost and two trees on Hercules Street in Santa Clarita, CA. A fire erupted after the crash and both Rodas and Walker (who was riding in the passenger seat) were killed. The ensuing investigation determined that unsafe speeds were at fault, however grieving members of the deceased victims' families have launched a series of lawsuits – including several directed against the German automaker – in the aftermath. Walker's father previously sued the Rodas' estate over the ownership of a collection of cars estimated to be worth some $1.8 million. Meanwhile Rodas' widow Kristine has also filed a wrongful death suit against Porsche. And just this past September, Walker's 17-year-old daughter and heiress Meadow filed another wrongful death suit, also against Porsche. In response to the latter, Porsche spokesman Calvin Kim wrote to Autoblog: "As we have said before, we are very sad whenever anyone is hurt in a Porsche vehicle, but we believe the authorities' reports in this case clearly establish that this tragic crash resulted from reckless driving and excessive speed." This latest lawsuit filed by Walker's father alleges that the Carrera GT should have been equipped with stability control, reinforced doors, and a breakaway fuel line – features that, the plaintiff asserts, could have saved his son's life. According to USA Today, Porsche recently claimed in court that the vehicle in question had been modified and improperly maintained. Those factors could have led to the accident that claimed both Walker's and Rodas' lives. Walker was an actor who made his debut in television before appearing in movies like Varsity Blues, The Skulls, and Flags of Our Fathers. He will perhaps be best remembered, however, as the star in the Fast and Furious series – the most recent installment of which was completed posthumously with the help of his brothers and computer animation. The California native was 40 years old.
McLaren rules out Porsche Cayman competitor
Mon, Nov 30 2015McLaren has gone downmarket with the introduction of its new Sports Series, but don't expect it to go any lower than that. So while the 570S goes up against the Audi R8 and Porsche 911 Turbo, the likes of the TT and Cayman can rest easy. Speaking with Autocar, McLaren designer Robert Melville ruled out the prospect of developing a sports car positioned lower than the Sports Series. Melville dismissed the idea of a Cayman rival from Woking as "a step too far" and "not exclusive enough" for McLaren. "You look at Ferrari. They are coming from very high end. [The 570S] is stretching us down to R8s and 911s and is as low as we'd want to come." The limit may be dictated, more than anything, by the building blocks. The newly introduced Sports Series adopts the same essential hard points as the higher-end Super Series (650S) and Ultimate Series (P1). Like its more expensive siblings, it features a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and bolted to the back of a carbon monocoque chassis. Only instead of selling for $265k like the 650S or over $1 million like the P1, the 570S will retail for under $190k. Volume is how the manufacturer aims to make up the difference. In fact McLaren stands to generate as much revenue (if not necessarily the same profit margin) selling 2,500 units in the Sports Series each year as it has producing all 375 examples of the P1. Making those same building blocks available at a lower price point – or developing an entirely new set – would be an entirely different proposition... one which McLaren is evidently less than keen to undertake. So while we can look forward to new versions of the Sports Series to follow – including Spider and GT variants soon to follow – more commonplace stablemate appears to be off the table.
