1991 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet: To Restore Or Part on 2040-cars
Sudbury, Massachusetts, United States
Unfortunately my very well sorted 1991 Black/Linen 944 S2 was
involved in a building collapse last week about an hour's north of New York
City. Not having the time to deal with it I have decided to sell. As per the
highly regarded body shop in which it is stored in New Windsor, NY, all the damage is cosmetic.
The car is a fairly easy fix or probably worth even more parted, given the
condition of the vehicle prior to the accident. No insurance claim so title will be delivered with no accident history. Here's the best description I
can give. I am not interested in parting the car out myself. In 1989 the 944S2 was introduced, powered by a 211 PS (155 kW;
208 hp) normally aspirated, dual-overhead-cam 16-valve 3.0L version of the
944Sengine. With a bore of 104 mm (4.1 in) and a stroke of 88 mm
(3.5 in), it was the largest production 4-cylinder engine of its
time. The 944S2 also received a revised transmission and gearing to better
suit the 3.0-liter M44/41 powerplant. The 944S2 had the same rounded nose and a
rear valance found on the Turbo model. This was the first example of the use of
an integrated front bumper, where the fender and hood profiles would merge
smoothly with the bumper, a design feature that has only now seen widespread
adoption on the 1990 onward production cars. Performance was quoted as
0-60 mph in 6.0 seconds (0–100 km/h 6.8 s), with a top speed of
240 km/h (150 mph) via manual transmission. A Club Sport touring
package (M637) was also available. On Mar-09-14 at 19:04:19 PDT, seller added the following information: The correct model year is 2000 (not 2001). Once the auction started I was not able to correct the title listing. Also the car has just over 100,000 miles now. Also, for those interested repairing the car, the shop's estimate for labor (body) was $2,2,00 (@37 hours). I have no affiliation of this body shop; it was recommended to me by the local and well respected independent Porsche tech (Advanced Automotive of New Windsor, NY). |

2019 Tokyo Auto Salon features one of the coolest auctions we've seen
Thu, Jan 3 2019In just over a week, the Tokyo Auto Salon will host one of the coolest auctions we've seen in years. Jalopnik spotted BH Auction's listings, and it's a cornucopia of hot machinery you won't typically find at American auctions like Gooding & Company or Barrett Jackson. While Japanese cars make up most of the listings, Ferrari, Porsche, BMW and even Dodge all have at least one car going up for auction. We won't include everything here, but you can check out the full list on BH Auction's website. There are 50 lots at the auction, including nine Nissan Skylines, nine Ferraris and two Porsche Carrera GTs. Some of our other favorites include a Honda S800 coupe, a Toyota Miniace truck, a Mitsubishi Willys Jeep and a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL gullwing with the V8 from a W124 Mercedes-Benz E60 AMG that's estimated to sell for between $1.25 million and $1.5 million.

Porsche 911 GT3 RS getting all-new atmospheric engine
Thu, Jan 15 2015Porsche surprised many of its most puritanical enthusiasts when it took a decidedly more usable approach with the current 911 GT3. But when the new GT3 RS debuts, it promises to be a much more extreme departure. And a big part of that comes down to the engine. At the Detroit Auto Show this week, Auto Express spoke with Porsche R&D chief Wolfgang Hatz – who also happens to be head of engine and transmission development for the entire Volkswagen group. Hatz revealed that Porsche has developed a completely new engine for the GT3 RS, and while previous rumors suggested the RS would go turbo to fill in for the lack of a GT2 (and make the most out of its displacement), Hatz confirmed that it will be naturally aspirated. Considering that Porsche rarely goes downwards when it comes to 911 engine displacement, only upwards, we'd expect the new RS to pick up where the previous 4.0 left off. The new GT3 RS is also expected to pack a more extreme suspension, aero and stripped-out interior, but those hoping for an old-school approach may be disappointed to learn that the new RS will (at least at launch) only be available with the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission – though a manual version could follow if there's enough demand. In a related development, Hatz also hinted that the Cayman GT4 could debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March, with an even more extreme approach than the previous Cayman R. The new top-of-the-line Cayman is reportedly being developed to comply with GT4 class racing regulations but be fully homologated for road use. Related Video:
Porsche 911 driven by McQueen on Le Mans set for auction
Mon, Oct 19 2015Another piece of Porsche memorabilia from the movie Le Mans is going up for auction with Christie's at The Exceptional Sale on Nov. 4 in Paris. This is a 1971 911 T that Steve McQueen used as his personal car during filming - it is not the 1970 911 S seen in the movie's opening sequence. It is one of the Porsches provided by two-time Le Mans winner and stunt driving double Jo Siffert. McQueen's production company CBS Solar Films bought the 911 T from Siffert, one of four 911s CBS Solar bought from the Swiss driver for use in and during filming. McQueen gifted the car to co-star and leading lady Elga Andersen. When she died in 1994 she willed it to her best friend, and the friend sold it to the current owner, who put it up for sale. None of them put the car to much use, as it has only 28,637 miles on the odometer, which is fewer than 55 miles per month for the last 44 years. The pre-sale estimate for this car is $284,000 to $397,000. By comparison, the 911 S used in the movie's opening sequence sold at auction in 2011 at Monterey for $1,375,000. In addition to being a relative bargain in that case, it comes with a scan of the original contract from Siffert to Anderson giving her the car, and a picture of McQueen and his son Chad with the coupe.
