1989 Porsche 951 (944 Turbo) in very good condition. 113K miles. Runs great. I have owned it for the last 19 years and never raced it. I'm the 3rd owner, and the car has always been in California

All original except for the following and regular maintenance items:
1. Computer chips replaced with AutoThority chips to increase engine power. This was done prior to my purchasing the car 19 years ago. I have the original chips and will include them.
2. Blaupunkt cassette/radio replaced with Blaupunkt CD/radio. I have the original and will include it.

Major Mechanical Repairs:
1. The only one I can think of is the clutch, which has been replaced twice.

Collision Damage:
1. A truck backed into the drivers side while the vehicle was parked which damaged the door and front fender. Both were repaired and repainted.

Major Defects:
1. The drivers seat has a tear and is worn. This is shown in one of the photographs.
2. The air conditioner does not work. However, I believe that it is mechanically fine and needs to have the Freon recharged. Because this has the original air conditioning system, it uses R12 with has been phased out. I chose to not recharge it some number of years ago because of the high price and the good weather here in northern California.

Minor Defects:
1. The speaker in the driver's door stops working every once in a while. There is an intermittent connection somewhere, but I have not been able to find it.

Included Extras:
1. Saratoga glass top. The top works fine but is in need of repainting the aluminum trim, and replacing the weather stripping. This is shown in the photographs.
2. Useable mats. These are shown in one of the photos.
3. All maintenance records.
4. Original computer chips and cassette/radio (see above).

Maintenance is up-to-date except for the timing belt, which is now due for replacement. All maintenance and mechanical repairs have been done by a well regarded independent Porsche shop, CT Automotive.

1989 was the last year that the 944 Turbo was available in the U.S., and the 1989 model was the fastest. It had many upgrades over the previous years. These are explained in the photo of a sales brochure.

Porsche CEO Oliver Blume will be installed as head of the VW brand

Wed, Jun 3 2020

Volkswagen Chief Executive Herbert Diess is planning to promote Porsche CEO Oliver Blume to take over as the head of the VW brand, according to a report from Auto Motor und Sport. Citing company sources, the German site said Bernhard Maier, who currently sits at the head of VW's Skoda brand, will lead Porsche in Blume's place. A shuffle at VW isn't surprising. The last thing Volkswagen needs as it transitions away from its long-running "clean diesel" TDI fiasco and into a clean electric ID future is negative press surrounding its burgeoning electrified lineup. Unfortunately, the ID.3 launch has been marred by software issues, with Manager magazine citing company engineers saying "the basic architecture was developed too hastily." Because of that underlying issue, various modules "often do not understand each other" and suffer dropouts. The brand-new eighth-generation Golf launch was also troubled and pushed back due to software problems. And more recently, Volkswagen was forced to pull an advertisement after admitting it was racist and insulting. That marketing misstep, according to the report, will lead to the firing of Chief Marketing Officer Jochen Sengpiehl. Related Video:

Season 9 of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee teases us with BMWs and Volvos

Thu, Dec 22 2016

Jerry Seinfeld's successful online show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is heading into its ninth season, returning January 5th. It should be no surprise that the list of actors and comedians is impressive, with Kristen Wiig, Christoph Waltz, and more making appearances. Seinfeld has lined up an equally impressive list of cars for the new season. Porsche, BMW, and Volvo all have beautiful machines lined up to shuttle Seinfeld and his guest to different coffee shops. As always, it's a mix of light humor packed into a relatively short and, most importantly, free video. Catch up on the previous eight seasons now on Crackle.

Porsche 356 Outlaw is the other Continental

Wed, 25 Jun 2014

In Porsche parlance, 'outlaw' basically means 'hot rod,' and that definition can vary from person to person. For Jack Griffin and his 1955 Porsche 356 Continental, it means taking a great car to start with and reworking it to become a classic coupe that fits its driver perfectly. The latest video from Petrolicious highlights Griffin's 356 and all of the personalization he has in the beautiful ride.
Griffin acquired this 356 in 1994, but it came in rough shape. That made it the perfect canvas to transform the coupe into the Porsche of his dreams. On the outside, only things like the hood-mounted fuel filler, louvered decklid and Fuchs wheels give it away as something special, but underneath, it is modernized to be a faster, more robust car. Griffin considers it "a piece of art on wheels."
Hearing the Continental name associated with Griffin's Porsche might be throwing you, since it's normally more associated with Lincoln, but Griffin tells the whole story of what makes it so special on his '55 in the video. Scroll down to get an automotive history lesson and check out this fantastic 356 hot rod.
