 A very special 911 with a great history... She began life as a '72 T and had been in San Diego her for 35 years alone. Volker Bruckmann (VGCC Management, Santee (San Diego), CA), a racer and engine builder... and probably up there with any other Porsche engine builder, bought her in the early 80s and raced her in Baja (see photo). Volker, a native of Wolfsburg Germany, has always loved racing and found himself in 1970 in the Porsche pits at the Daytona 24 hour race. There he assisted the Porsche Salzburg team with their 917 Porsche. Volker's usefulness ensured his presence at Sebring, Watkins Glen, and through the 1971 US season in the newly formed Martini-Rossis Porsche Team under Udo Schutz and Hans-Dieter Dechent. He took part in the overall victory at Sebring in 1971. In November 1983, the first Porsche-powered win was executed by Mark Mcmillin in taking the overall four-wheel crown at the Baja 1000. Mark won three more Baja 1000 overall titles with Volker's Porsche off-road race engines. From 1982 through 1988, Volker's Porsche engines changed the face of the sport. At that time, he developed several successful Baja 1000 winning engines for the McMillin’s, Larry Ragland and Denny Letner. People said before that the Porsche 911 engine did not make enough low end torque to be useful in SCORE competition. Back to the ’72 RS Replica. Volker raced it at the 1989 La Carrera Classico from Ensenada to San Felipe, Baja, California. After a 200km all out run against Steve Saleen in his hot "Fastest in America" Mustang, this car beat Steve by some 15 seconds with Stefan Schleissing (GTS-Classics Seats) of Germany at the wheel placing 4th overall. Volker, won the Vintage class and finished 2nd overall that day.

She has never bent or hit, has all the good stuff in it and is RUST FREE. Camber bar, Bilstein front and rear struts, 917-930 (Turbo) calipers and rotors, drilled custom torsion bars, adjustable Weltmeister anti-sway bars and a huge front oil cooler. SSI stainless steel heater boxes with a Porsche Exhaust that makes the finest sound you can imagine. Her ride is firm but not brutal. The car responds like a go-cart with superb balance. The car has polished Fuchs wheels; 6” front with 195/60/15 and 7” rear with 215/60/15.The engine was  fully overhauled by Volker with new Mahle piston and cylinders, Glyco bearings, timing chains, Carillo rods, new guides/valves/springs. 2x46 triple barrel Weber carbs and Holly red fuel pump with gauge and PMO regulator provide the mixture to propel this little rocket. The case and heads are from an early 930 (aluminum IROC) and the heads have been ported and polished. The 3.3 liter engine is rated at approximately 300hp and max torque of 280. Also has a 25 gal fuel tank. Volker is a master and this engine is only one of three that he has built to these specs. To those that know this car, her name was "Grandma". The others sit in championship cars in private collections.
 
I purchased this car from an R Groupe Member and continued the restoration back to original period correct. No expense spared. Every part replaced has been with with real Porsche parts. New AC and a long list of replaced parts. Last showing at PCA Concourse event, car won best in class. I moved the car to Florida in 2005. Initially,  work was done by Butch Stokes in South Florida (very famous local Porsche tech). Seats are original rare Recaro re-done by Interiors International. These seats alone were over $6,000. All guages tuned by North Hollywood Speedometer. New headliner, carpets, New Period correct Radio. In 2010, car was taken over and maintained and worked on by PCA local President shop, Foreign Affairs, in Deerfield Beach. They proceeded to dig deeper and replace period correct Porsche parts to include oil lines on side of car, shroud, the entire front had been restored and replaced (see pic) and a list of others just to make this as true as an RS as possible.  A call to Bob V. will tell everything that no expense was spared. The entire car has been gone through. Tough to give up as this has been a passion of  love for the last 7 years. Car is now back in Southern California and gargaged/covered. At recent Sunday am auto shows, car has been a stopper and looker. Last picture is from PCA So Fla award event.  Most of its recent life has been at shows. A true RS at auctions are over $200k. This is a rare find for any car enthusiast.

Porsche CEO hints at Macan GTS, expects brand sales growth to 200K+

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

Porsche is expecting big things from its little Macan, with CEO Matthias Mueller announcing that not only is a sportier GTS model being considered, but that the CUV will almost certainly help push Porsche beyond its 200,000-unit-per-year sales goal three years earlier than expected.
"We're transferring the genes of the Porsche brand into a new market segment," Mueller said during a speech to kick off Macan production, according to Automotive News Europe. Macan demand should push the brand past 200,000 sales, Mueller said, confirming what we reported back in August. And if Porsche really has a hit on its hands, it is able to boost production of the sporty crossover beyond its initial capacity of 50,000 units, according to the brand's CEO.
Provided that the Macan is the success Porsche hopes it will be, Mueller hinted that the range could expand beyond the initial Macan S and Macan Turbo. "GTS versions have a tradition at Porsche," Mueller said. "We haven't made a final decision yet regarding the Macan, but I'm sure it makes a lot of sense."

Why you must buy an air-cooled Porsche 911 now

Fri, 14 Feb 2014

"Because" might be a good response to our headline, but as a vintage (purists might call 'proper') Porsche 911 is hardly cheap, we suspect you'll need a better explanation than that. Enter Drive editor Mike Spinelli.
Spinelli sits down with Zac Moseley and Mick Prichinello from Classic Car Club Manhattan to first explain why the market for old, air-cooled 911s has gotten so hot over the past few years, and to discuss if it's a bubble that's about to burst. Following that, this video is really is just three guys sitting around talking about old Porsches for 35 minutes. Which, you know, we're pretty onboard with.

Porsche prioritizes 200,000-unit sales target over exclusivity [w/poll]

Thu, 21 Aug 2014

Would a Porsche still be a Porsche if it weren't as exclusive? That's the question which industry pundits are asking - and customers may soon as well - as the German automaker emerges from the fringe in pursuit of larger volumes.
A dozen years ago Porsche was barely selling over 50,000 units per annum. In a sales surge that has gathered pace as fast as a 911 Turbo, however, it was already hovering around the 100,000-unit mark a few years later. Last year it sold over 160,000, and has targeted 200,000 units by 2018. But it may not even take that long.
Automotive News reports that Porsche has advanced its targets to reach for 200,000 units by the end of this year or the next. The bump in sales would be driven particularly by the introduction of the new Macan, of which it aims to sell 50,000 units annually, starting next year. The Cayenne currently stands far and away as its most successful model. The 911 and Panamera have swapped second place a few times over the past five years, followed by the Boxster and Cayman.
