1978 Porsche 911 on 2040-cars
Santa Rosa, California, United States
I am selling my very rare 1978 Porsche 911 SC Targa, all original, low miles, (82k) unrestored and impeccably
maintained throughout its life. This is a one-of-a-kind car. When ordering the Porsche Certificate of
Authenticity,
Everything works-- from the clock to the up/down antenna. I have the maintenance records from both owners as well
as the 1978 bill of sale. You can even speak with the specialist who performed the maintenance over the years.
Included in this sale are an original Porsche bra (I have never used), the complete original Porsche tool kit, two
car covers (indoors and outdoors), and the original cassette holders that fit into the console. This car is all
original. I never even installed a right side mirror. The only change I made was to install a radio that fits
into the same space as the original. I kept the original cassette deck radio which you can reinstall so it feels
like 1978 all over again.
Original paint and original blue leather interior. The leather doors,
dash and package tray are all excellent. Driver seat shows some normal wear. The folding Targa top was
reupholstered as original when I purchased it 20 years ago. The top folds and fits inside the trunk, which is also
in impeccable condition. There are two small scratches in the front hood and three small scratches on the rear
deck lid. I did not have these repainted (just touched up) just due to my desire to keep the original paint.
She's fully-loaded, too. Here are the options that were purchased when Porsche built this one-of-a-kind beauty:
air conditioning, power windows, limited slip differential, headlight washers, premium Radio Bamburg, black trim
instead of chrome, engine compartment light, chrome parts in matte- finished black, headlight rings exterior color,
fog/driving lights.

Hyundai, Porsche top J.D. Power APEAL study
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Just as they did in the Initial Quality Study, Porsche and Hyundai have taken the premium and non-premium crown, respectively, for the 2014 J.D. Power APEAL study. This is the tenth consecutive year for that Porsche has been rated the best premium make in the APEAL study, which attempts to figure out how pleased owners are with their purchases. For 2014, it asked 86,000 owners of MY2014 cars to rate their vehicles in 77 different categories 90 days after their initial purchase. The resulting figures were plugged in deliver the APEAL score, which is rated on a 1,000-point scale.
The industry average sits at 794 points for 2014, although that's a one-percent decline over last year's rating. In this year's study, premium brands averaged 840 out of 1,000, while non-premium makes average 785. For their part, Porsche netted an impressive 882 points, while Hyundai earned an 804. Interestingly, only four non-premium brands (Hyundai, Ram, Volkswagen and Mini) finished above the industry average for 2014.
It's also interesting to see the clear delineation between premium and non-premium brands, with an eight-point gap between the non-premium champ, Hyundai, and the lowest-rated premium brand, Volvo.
Porsche tuners 9ff, SpeedArt going bankrupt
Thu, 19 Sep 2013Times are tough in Europe right now, and that unfortunately has reaped disastrous consequences for some of its smallest niche automakers. Gumpert, Wiesmann, Artega and Lola have all filed for bankruptcy this year, and it appears that tuners are not immune to the tough times, either.
Word coming in from across the pond suggests that 9ff and SpeedArt - two of the biggest names in Porsche tuning - have filed for bankruptcy as well. 9ff is best known for the GT9, a radical hypercar barely based on the 911, while SpeedArt was once of the foremost tuners of Porsches.
Fortunately there are still plenty of tuners ready to take a wrench to your Elfen, but the reported demise of these two makes the market a little bit smaller and - for Porsche enthusiasts - maybe the world a little bit lonelier, too.
Porsche again staring down another $1.8B in hedge fund lawsuits
Wed, 15 May 2013The sequence of events from 2007 that began with Porsche's secret attempt to take over Volkswagen, and instead lead to Porsche being taken over by VW, continues to instigate lawsuits against the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer. A group of hedge funds that suffered over $1 billion in losses sued the car company in New York. Porsche had publicly stated it wasn't trying to buy VW, the hedge funds in question were shorting VW stock, and when Porsche's actual intentions were revealed, the stock shot up and the hedge funds took a beating.
The case was thrown out over the issue of jurisdiction, then appealed, only to see another suit filed on top of that. After that, most of the hedge funds withdrew their claims in New York and Porsche offered a 90-day window to refile in Germany where it is already fighting a number of other suits over the same issue. The hedge funds accepted the offer, refiling in Stuttgart for $1.8 billion in damages. According to Bloomberg, Porsche hasn't commented on the refiling, but as the same plaintiffs are involved, it's safe to assume that the carmaker still feels the case is "unsubstantiated and without merit." It has fared alright so far even in German courts, with two lesser cases against it thrown out last year.
