1971 Porsche 911 911 on 2040-cars
Coyote Springs, Nevada, United States
If you have any questions feel free to email me at: tracietggore@skywalkers.org .
Offered for your consideration is a 1971 PORSCHE 911E (2.2 liter) with 86,000 original miles. It is a matching
numbers car and has been in the same ownership for the last 20 years. As you can see in pictures, it has been
driven, but it has been well taken care of. The same mechanic has been repairing it for the last 7 years or so. It
has the rare but infamous Sportomatic transmission that is a clutch-less manual; rare because most cars have been
converted to a manual transmission for ease of maintenance. It also has the sweet running original fuel injected
engine. The car is not currently running due to transmission issues.
I am selling this for my friend's widow. He was hell bent on keeping his car original and was sourcing all the
parts needed to rebuild the transmission when he suddenly passed away. The engine and transmission is currently off
the car; everything is stored at the Porsche repair shop. We are selling it as-is. I can arrange to view the car
with an appointment.
Pros:
Matching numbers car.
It has the original unmolested, unopened (as far as we know) engine which is becoming a rarity in the classic
Porsche market and the mechanical fuel injection is original and fully functional.
Car is one of the few unmolested long hood Porsches left with the original Sportomatic transmission. Quirky or
not, It has a decent fiberglass RSR wide body conversion along with a whale tail and it is RED!!
The interior is upgraded to a late model 911 including seats with much better ergonomics. It is again red.
Momo sprot steering wheel.
Car is never crashed or damaged and we have a clear title in hand (title transferred in 2016 in widow’s name)
Good brakes and all other ancillaries according to the mechanic who worked on this car for the last few years.
Service records are available for the last 20 years or so.
Overall a very good candidate to put back together and restore to original given the skyrocketing appreciation
long hoods are enjoying in the recent past.
It has the factory sunroof and all glass is in good shape too.
Did I mention it is RED inside and out??!!!
Cons:
The transmission had an issue where it would only shift between first and second gears; it would not shift to
third or fourth. However the car ran on 1 and 2 gears when taken apart a year ago. The issue is with the pneumatic
actuator according to the mechanic. There are quite a few rebuilt pneumatic actuators on ebay as we speak but
procuring one has been a problem at one time. The other option again will be to convert it into a 901 5-speed
manual which is what most people did to these cars anyway. In any case, it makes sense to save the original
transmission. Given the desirability of these cars, the day will come when people will be scrambling to find one
and that is when the Sportomatic should be installed back.
The motor has developed the dreaded 8th main oil leakage from behind the crank pulley for the last couple of
years and it has been fixed reasonably well with the aluminum sleeve solution. It still seeps and need a quart of
oil every few thousand miles.
The fiberglass body kit is professionally installed but an original matching numbers car like this would have
been much more valuable if it had the original steel body and bumpers. To those who know 911s, it is a relatively
easy conversion back should you procure the bumpers and fenders. Bolt on for the most parts.
Once again the leather interior is from a newer Porsche and is not original to this car. I was told that the
original parts are saved somewhere, but since we cannot find them, it is not included in sale.

The 2014 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S brings 50 extra ponies to Detroit
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Porsche has announced a new version of its popular SUV today at the Detroit Auto Show: the 550-horsepower 2014 Cayenne Turbo S.
This newly minted "flagship" of the Cayenne lineup is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.8-liter V8 engine, and offers 50 hp more than the Cayenne Turbo. Performance figures are impressive for the sleek utility vehicle: 0-60 miles per hour can be dashed off in 4.3 seconds, while maximum speed is rated at 175 mph. The Turbo S also gets dynamic chassis control, torque vectoring and Porsche's Sport Chrono package - all standard equipment.
Visually the Cayenne Turbo S differentiates itself from the lesser models in pretty subtle ways. Gloss black trim decorates the gawping front air intakes, as well as rear-view mirror trim panel. The SUV also wears 21-inch Turbo II wheels, a la the 911 Turbo.
Porsche Cayman GT4 speeds back into view
Tue, 18 Nov 2014We're all familiar with the succession of numbers that follow the letters GT on a hard-core Porsche 911: the GT1 that was Stuttgart's Le Mans contender in the late 90s, the GT2 that packs turbochargers but without the Turbo's all-wheel drive and excess weight, and the naturally aspirated GT3 that's the enthusiast's choice. But a GT4? That's something new, and exactly what Porsche has in store.
Spied testing in Germany once again is the upcoming GT4 version of the Porsche Cayman, set to supersede the existing GTS and take the place of the previous Cayman R at the top of Porsche's junior sports car range. This latest batch of spy shots doesn't show us much more than the last crop, but gives us a much clearer view at what promises to be the most hardcore Cayman to date.
As you can see, the Cayman GT4 packs a much more aggressive aero kit and rolling stock than any version we've seen to date. It's got a lip spoiler, big air dam and GT3-style vent in front of the hood, deep air scoops along the flanks, a set of spindly alloys packing oversized brakes, a diffuser with twin central exhaust tips around back and a rear wing that's likely to be replaced with a sleeker unit before the GT4 reaches production.
Porsche Macan Turbo vs Cayman GTS in track battle
Fri, 19 Sep 2014"Well this is stupid." On the surface, that was our reaction to this video, as well. Why would you compare the hottest Porsche Cayman with a crossover of any kind, even if it is the 400-horsepower Macan Turbo?
We're guessing because it'd be bloody good fun, as evidenced Auto Express's latest track battle. To be fair, there is some interesting stuff here. The two do have a similar starting price, separated by less than $3,000 here in the US market. And, factoring in the Macan's hefty horsepower and torque advantages - 60 horsepower and 126 pound-feet - does make for a slightly interesting comparison.
We won't spoil the verdict, so check out the full video from Auto Express, and then let us know what you think in Comments.
