This is a beautiful running and driving ’75 US spec Carrera. It is not a concours trailer queen, but instead is a great near-original. Approximately 400 of these cars were made for the US market for the 1975 model year. It appears to have been pampered all its life, with no evidence of accident damage or rust issues. We have ownership and service history back to 1975, as well as the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity. Original jack, tools, owners manual, and keys are still with the car.

Equipment on this car includes leather sport seats, air conditioning, and factory electric sunroof. The car has just received a major engine out service by Perfect Power (details below), one of the leading independent Porsche shops in the midwest. The photos really don’t do the car justice. It also drives as tight and solid as you’d expect of a well-kept 911.

The car can be driven and enjoyed as is, with no need to be cosmetically restored. All factory ID tags are present. The mileage on the odometer is miles over 100,000; but you’d never know it to look at it. As r.o.w. Carrera prices have risen to over $300,000 in some cases, these US cars have also increased in collectability and value. You’d be hard pressed to find a more original, more well-kept example.

BODY: The car has been a California and Colorado car most of its life, with very limited use in Illinois ( approx. 1,500 miles) in the last few years. It shows no evidence of rust repair ever. Floors and trunk are excellent both inside and underneath. There is even a considerable amount of the factory cosmoline on the underside. The panel gaps are tight and flush. The body has had one very nice repaint some time in the past. There are some chips from normal use. Body rubber trim and weatherstrips are also in very good shape. This car gets a lot of attention and compliments.

INTERIOR: Everything is original Porsche as far as I can tell. Very good to excellent carpets, door panels, dash, dash top, headliner and original steering wheel. Seat leather is excellent for its age, supple, with good color, and no rips or tears of any significance.

ENGINE AND DRIVETRAIN: Engine was rebuilt about 37,000 miles ago. Just completed a fresh engine out service, with reseal of engine and trans. Valves were adjusted at this time. New plug wires, many gaskets and seals replaced as needed. Clutch assembly was replaced, synchros inspected, and transmission case resealed during this service. Receipts are available

STEERING AND SUSPENSION: Aligned and corner weighted about 1,500 miles ago. Everything tight and operating as it should. Steering is typically smooth and light with no excess play. The car rides and handles very well.

BRAKES: System inspected. Everything is in proper working order. Plenty of pad life left.

ELECTRICAL and INSTRUMENTS. A/C blows cold, and has been updated to 134a refrigerant. Charging system working properly. All lights, instruments, sunroof, Blaupunkt cassette radio, windows, horn and fan in proper working order. Even the seat belt buzzer and warning light are working.

WHEELS and TIRES: Bridgestone Potenza 195/65 and 215/60 x 15 tires with about 1,500 miles of use. Original Fuchs 15x7 and 15x8’’ wheels show some wear and tear from normal use, and rims appear to have their original dual anodized finish.

GENERAL: Remember, this is a 39 year old used car and is being sold as-is, with any existing faults, whether known or unknown. There is no warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied. I have been a licensed dealer in Illinois for over 30 years. The above description is accurate, to the best of my knowledge, but I encourage your inspection BEFORE bidding.

There are no other fees assessed, other than those taxes and fees required by the state when registering the vehicle. Illinois requires that I collect sales tax for some states, which will be credited by your state of residence when registering the vehicle. Check my eBay feedback. Feel free to contact me for any additional information, photos, etc.

Depending on the state laws where the car will be registered, your purchase may be subject to applicable sales and local taxes and fees.
The car is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early if the reserve has not been met.
This is a pre-owned vehicle, and is subject to the normal wear appropriate to the mileage and age.
$2000 deposit is due within 48 hours. The balance is due within seven days of auction closure. If the initial deposit is not received within the specified time, I reserve the right to relist the vehicle. You are still liable for damages if you breach the contract.

First-ever Porsche headed home to company museum

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

About 30 years before Ferdinand Porsche designed the Volkswagen Beetle, he created the Egger-Lohner electric vehicle, C.2 Phaeton model - or simply, the P1 - you see above. This was the first vehicle created by Porsche, and the car gets its nickname from the fact that he had stamped "P1" on many of the parts marking it as the first Porsche... sorry, 356 No. 1.
Now while you'd think that such an important piece of Porsche heritage has been in a museum or even the automaker's not-so-secret lair, it has actually been sitting at a warehouse for the last 112 years. Thankfully, that's all about to change as Porsche has recovered P1, and the car will soon be on "permanent display" at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart.
The P1 has a 3 horsepower motor capable of delivering a top speed of 21 miles per hour and a driving range of 49 miles, and, like many vehicles in Porsche's history, the motor is positioned at the rear of the vehicle. According to the press release posted below, the P1 finished first in a 24-mile electric vehicle race in Berlin in 1899, but it has been sitting since 1902.

NYT profiles Blue Nelson, a reclusive and interesting CA car collector

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

If it weren't for his Dale Earnhardt Sr. looks, Blue Nelson could be one one of those soft-spoken, nondescript guys whom you meet briefly and never learn much more about. However, as The New York Times shows in a recent profile and video, behind closed doors, Nelson keeps a fascinatingly eclectic collection of automotive oddities and vintage bicycles.
While his main career is in the movie industry, Nelson's other job is as a car hunter. He takes on clients searching for a specific model and helps them find and restore the dream vehicle that they're after. Hiring him takes some dedication, though, because Nelson doesn't advertise his services. "If people want to find me, they know how to find me," he says in the video.
Beyond being an automotive private detective, Nelson has a fantastically varied collection of vehicles of his own. He likes to have models that people don't usually see, and his garage holds a classic Chrysler New Yorker and an extremely rare Rometsch convertible. Although, the one that means the most to him is the 1962 Porsche 356 convertible that Blue came home in as a baby. Check out the video to learn more about Nelson and his philosophy about forming a bond with a car.

Porsche names new motorsport chief

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

Though it may have expanded into crossovers and sedans, Porsche is still a company with racing at its heart. You might even argue that Cayenne and Panamera sales only serve to fund the company's motorsports activities. Competition-spec 911 coupes still make up a large portion of the grid in any GT racing series, and those activities are presided over by the Porsche GT division (separate from its LMP1 program), which has just announced a changing of the guard.
Porsche's GT unit - which is responsible both for racing models like the 911 RSR and road-going models like the 911 GT3 - has until now been steered by Hartmut Kristen (pictured above, left) in his capacity as Vice President of Motorsport at Porsche AG. During his ten-year tenure, Kristen gave birth to the RS Spyder that competed in the American Le Mans Series and the pioneering 911 GT3 R Hybrid. He also fostered what Porsche characterizes as "arguably the most comprehensive youth development program in motor racing" and saw the marque return to Le Mans last year with a dominant 1-2 class victory.
Kristen, now 59 years old, is leaving the German automaker, but will remain an advisor to the company's R&D department. Taking over as VP of Motorsport will be Dr. Frank-Steffen Walliser, who has until now been head of the 918 Spyder project (a responsibility he will continue). Walliser (pictured above, right) was previously Porsche's general manager for motorsport strategies and will now be responsible for Porsche's GT projects on and off the track, while Fritz Enzinger continues at the helm of the LMP1 program in pursuit of better results next year than the 919 Hybrid achieved at Le Mans last month.
