This vehicle is in great overall condition.  I am active duty military and during the past year I was deployed to Afghanistan.  For that reason, the car was sitting in storage and required a lot of work to get it back into top mechanical condition.  The work was done by the best European auto specialist in El Paso, and it now runs, drives, and handles like a true sports car.  Included is a photo of the invoice that lists everything that was replaced which totaled $2850.  I also had the whole exterior re-painted and polished in its original, gorgeous pearl-white color (another $1300), so there is not one dent or scratch on the exterior of the vehicle.  The only parts of the body that were not painted were the inner door jams, so you will see marks and scratches on them when the doors are open.  The wheels were re-painted as well to make them look great and really stand out against the pearl white body.  The A/C blows really cold, and the windshield wipers were just replaced.  New tires were put on a couple years ago, but due to the car being in storage, they have less than 500 miles worth of use. I also got started on a custom black and white interior a couple years ago to make the inside match the outside of the vehicle.  As you can see from the photos, the seats, door panels, and some pieces on the center console were re-covered and the roll bars and gear shift knob were painted.  I intended to use the money I saved from my deployment to make this a car-show quality vehicle, but unfortunately some personal and financial circumstances have just come up and I cannot afford to finish or keep the car.  With that being said, there are still quite a few blemishes on the interior.  The carpet on the floor of the driver side is a little worn and starting to come apart by the fuse box (shown in photo).  I purchased some $130 custom-made floor mats to cover the wear and make the floors look great.  You can see a bit of wear from rubbing against the roll bar and a scratch on the back of the passenger seat.  Also a small blue mark in the white part of the driver seat.  The center console shows some wear and tear around the ash tray and the hand-brake lever has a crack and also shows some wear.  The steering wheel has been re-wrapped, but you can still see a little bit of wear and pitting.  There is a very small blemish in the white leather on the driver-side door handle.  The passenger seat is missing a plastic cover plate, but is really only noticeable if the passenger door is open.  The convertible-top window is a bit cloudy.  You can see when you look out the back, but the images will appear somewhat blurry (photo is provided so you can get an idea of how cloudy it is).  There is a scratch in the tint on the passenger door window (cannot be seen in photos). The convertible top operates just fine, but the light on the dash stays on when the top is closed.  Once you put the top down, the light goes off.  Also the air bag warning light stays on. Finally, the horn and alarm are not working.  I tried replacing the fuse, but they still didn't work.  Those are all the faults that I am aware of.  It sounds like a lot of faults, but they are mostly small, cosmetic blemishes and all in the interior.  I just want to make sure that I am disclosing every flaw to the best of my knowledge, and I have tried to include good pics of all blemishes that would show up well in photos.  The Experian report shows a clean vehicle history with no past problems.  The mileage is a little higher than a lot of other Boxsters, but is still pretty good for a vehicle of this age.  I paid off the bank loan last month and have the clear Texas title in my possession.  It just passed the Texas state emissions inspection as well. Included with the purchase of the car, are the books you see in the photo and the custom Euro-style license plate with mounting frame.  If you would like, I can also throw in a brake calipers paint kit.  I purchased the kit, but never actually got around to painting the calipers. The paint is white and it includes a set of black Porsche logo stickers.  There is no reserve, but I am starting the bidding at the lowest price that I can accept.  Over the past two months, I have put thousands into paying off and fixing up this car, but as mentioned earlier, I am now forced to sell it as is.  It's very close to being 100% complete and car show ready.  If you purchase this vehicle, you would be helping a veteran out greatly.  I prefer that payment be made by bank wire transfer from a US financial institution, but I will also accept a cashier's check from a US financial institution.  Payment must be received within seven days of the auction's close.  If you do the bank wire, I will cover the cost of the transfer by reducing the final sale price by $25.  Pick up or shipping needs to be arranged by the buyer.  I will answer any of your questions to the best of my ability and as quickly as possible.  Thank you for viewing.

1974 Porsche 914 EV conversion still looks good

Thu, Jan 23 2014

Looking through the pages of the EV Album is a great way to learn about the breadth and depth of the electric vehicle community. Branching well beyond the three dozen or so electric vehicles that are currently sold by major automakers in the US, EV Album showcases lots of DIY conversions of all types. A 1995 Fiat Cinquecento? Check. A 1992 Kewet Eljet 2? No problem. The site's old-fashioned looks (it was started in 1997) show just how long people have been passionate about their EVs. Many of the cars are throwbacks to a previous time and we found a prime example of that, a converted 1974 Porsche 914 (EV Album page here) this week. Now powered by a Prestolite MTC4001 Series Wound DC motor and some flooded nickel-cadmium batteries, the 914 has a top speed of 80 miles per hour and a range of 35 miles. But only "if you are taking it easy," of course. The motor has a peak output of 60 horsepower and 25 hp continuous. Converted over 600 hours (!) to electric power at a cost of $10,000, it is now owned by Charlie Garlow of Maryland. The car is on display at the Washington Auto Show this week and serves as a great reminder of what most EV drivers used to have to do to drive emissions free.

Next Porsche Cayman and Boxster to be called 718?

Wed, Dec 24 2014

Porsche has spent a few years sorting out its strategy away from the 911 and its crossovers, among the moving targets being the now-moribund Ferrari-fighting 960, the still-very-much-alive variant(s) coming with the next-generation Panamera, and what appears to be a puissant Cayman that could be called the GT4. Earlier this year there were rumors that a flat-four engine would join the Stuttgart maker's lineup, and that it could go into a roadster called the 718 that would undercut the current $51,400 price of the Boxster, and the Boxster would go upscale, leapfrogging the $52,600 price of the Cayman. Then Porsche turned out the lights on the 718 project, its R&D head telling Autocar, "We have a very good entry point to the range with the Boxster, and we see no reason to go below that." But Automobile reports that while the 718 roadster is dead, the 718 name will live: a la the 911, a new 718 range will encompass coupes and convertibles spanning a wide performance envelope. The suggestion is that the Boxster and Cayman names will be retired. According to Automobile, this will give Porsche a place to put its flat-four engine, into entry level models that – countering Porsche's earlier statement – "come in at a significantly lower price than" the present Boxster. Two displacements are expected, in three outputs: a 2.0-liter with 285 horsepower, a 2.5-liter with 360 hp and a turbocharged version with 400 hp. It's also been speculated that the engine could power an entry-level Macan. It's been reported before that Porsche wants to make use of the 718 name to promote its motorsport heritage, that model having carried Stirling Moss to victory among its many racing triumphs. If it happens, even though Automobile calls it part of "a slight perspective shift," we think it'll be a big shift for the two popular models, but it's not like we haven't had time to get ready. We're told the new moniker will be introduced in 2016 as a 2017 model. News Source: Automobile via World Car Fans Porsche Convertible Coupe porsche 718

Watch 1,208 Porsche 911s collect at Silverstone for world record

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Porsche has been spending the majority of 2013 celebrating the 50th birthday of the 911, with its latest stunt taking the German brand to the home of British motorsports, Silverstone. To celebrate, Porsche invited enthusiasts to take their personal 911s on a lap of the former airfield, and boy, did the Porschephiles show up. 1,208 911s took part in the lap around the Grand Prix circuit, making it the largest-ever gathering of the iconic, rear-engined cars.
This wasn't just a celebration of 50 years for the 911, though. Funds raised were channeled towards Hope For Tomorrow, a cancer charity that works with the United Kingdom's National Health Service in operating mobile chemothereapy units that make life just a little bit easier on cancer patients.
Take a look at the long video below, and enjoy the passing of what are likely examples of every 911 model ever built.
