I am selling this car for my brother who has recent health issues. I am not a Porsche expert, but I am an enthusiast I will do my best to answer any and all questions but there are a lot of things I may not know
Overall- This is a clean, nicely running, reliable car. It looks very good from 10 feet and fantastic from 20. I (and several other car guys and professionals) can find No Evidence that this car has ever had a repaint. There is no rust or rust repair evident anywhere. There are a couple door dings and chips, many on the front bumper, and somewhere along the line some dope shut the trunk with an object in it that left a quarter sized upward dent- that would be the biggest defect the body has. It is solid and dry and honest. The paint is still quite strong and other than the hood and front bumper it really is very good. The car runs out quite well, it had been in storage for years and the shift linkage was somewhat sticky. It has gotten better with use but someone who is familiar with these things can probably get it better still. The motor runs and pulls strong and starts instantly, hot or cold. There is no excessive smoke. It leaks a couple nickel sized spots after it sits for a week or so. The a/c compressor and I think the condenser are missing but this was an a/c car and the lines are there. The heat, defrost, lights, etc. and all other controls work as they should. The clock does not. The seats are in very good condition, the carpets are original and should be replaced to get the interior up to snuff. The car drives, stops and turns straight and true and can be driven long distances with confidence. The floor plans look perfect The steering wheel and stereo are aftermarket and average and I would return them to original. The top is in pretty good shape, some of the brightwork on it should be replaced but the fabric is quite good. The rubber pieces on the body exterior are showing their age and could be replaced over time. Really.. with these items addressed this could be a Remarkably Nice survivor 911 Cab..and it is perfectly usable as is. Drive it just like it is and make it nearly perfect as time permits. That was my brothers plan- now it can be someone else's
On Nov-04-13 at 12:32:05 PST, seller added the following information:
I should have mentioned The car does have the original manuals and service records. They are not complete but there is some substance there- new rear axles etc I did add a picture as I got several questions on those. thanks |

Porsche would have entered F1 if Audi had blocked its Le Mans program
Thu, 13 Mar 2014Go back a few years and you may have heard rumors of Porsche heading into Formula One. That never came to pass - or at least, it hasn't yet - but that doesn't mean that it wasn't close to happening. That's how committed to returning to top-level motorsport competition Porsche has become recently.
Autosport reports that just as Porsche was merging fully into the Volkswagen Group, Zuffenhausen was weighing its options for a factory racing program. Le Mans was its favorite, which makes sense, as it remains far and away the most successful constructor in the history of the famous endurance race. But the strategists at Porsche were worried that its new corporate overlords at Volkswagen wouldn't support two LMP1 programs and would favor Audi, which has positively dominated the modern era of endurance racing, coming second only to Porsche in the number of Le Mans victories it has scored to date.
Porsche's Plan B was reportedly to head into Formula One, although it isn't clear if the German automaker was intent on starting its own team, buying an existing one or merely providing engines to other teams. Porsche fielded its own cars in F1 in the late 1950s and early 60s, and returned as an engine supplier with TAG to power McLaren in the 1980s, powering Niki Lauda and Alain Prost to the World Championship in 1984 and 1985.
Seinfeld takes Seth Meyers out in the perfect Porsche
Sat, 13 Jul 2013The latest episode of Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee features Seth Meyers of Saturday Night Live fame riding shotgun in what is a very special Porsche from host Jerry Seinfeld's collection: a 1973 911 Carrera RS 2.7. Seinfeld chose the "no-nonsense" sports car because he thought it fit his guest's personality (Meyers thinks motorcycles "are like the cigarette of transportation"), but we enjoy the chance to see one of these rare, über-valuable Porsches being driven on city streets - and in the rain, no less! What we don't like seeing is the Carrera RS being parallel parked behind a pick-up truck, though, fortunately, it seems that Seinfeld was able to avoid any front-end damage to the comparatively fragile Porsche.
Once at the coffee shop, the two comedians have a candid conversation about Meyers' time with SNL, from his early days on the show when he didn't think he was good enough to be a cast member to some of the high points in his career, such as SNL's "Really!?" segment that he performed in and how he became a writer for the show.
After coffee, when they're back in the car and Seinfeld opens up the throttle of the lightweight RS 2.7, he manages to eke out a big grin from Meyers - or maybe it was a grimace at the thought of driving in the rain on old tires. Whatever the case, be sure to watch the video below (and stay tuned until the end for a surprise).
2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S
Fri, 19 Jul 2013I don't care who you are; when a new Porsche 911 rolls up in your driveway, that's a pretty good day. This was my very first experience with Porsche's 991 911, and after having spent time with just about every tune and trim of the last car, I was hotly anticipating comparing and contrasting.
Somehow (I don't remember sending out any cash-filled, unmarked envelopes) I'd scored a week in the 911 Carrera 4S over a long holiday weekend, too. That meant that I'd get to A) log a ton of miles in one of the best cars in the world, B) get to show-off the Porsche to family and friends and C) tempt cops in three states to pull me over. Good thing I've got the Autoblog traffic lawyer on speed dial...
