1984 Porsche 911 on 2040-cars
Flanagan, Illinois, United States
1984 Carrera 3.2L Flachbau w/ RUF Package
This car is extremely well done
- inside and out with all OEM parts throughout. All seals and trim are in excellent condition still. Tread on the
tires have about 90% left in them. Speedline RUF wheels. Everything on this car works as it should. It has a very
cool pop up headlight setup (see video). G50 transmission with the 3.2L. This car has an extremely well done
valve job. I've owned quite a few air cooled 911s over the years but this one is by far the fastest one.
Extremely fast with an incredible sound! Gets attention everywhere it goes. A real joy to drive. You can not beat
the air cooled Porsche - it is still the most enjoyable driving experience out there by far.
Now here is unfortunately and downside to the car: Even though it is strictly cosmetic, the car was keyed 2 yrs
ago by some low life who had nothing better to do with his time then do this to the car. the pics you see were
taken today and the key marks are not too noticeable but the car has not been repainted since the incident. you
really don't see it until you look for it on the car but it is still noticeable. there are also two bubbles on the
paint on one side of the rear bear claw vent ( very common along the bear claw vents), there is another bubble on
the drivers side front quarter next to the pop light. the intent was to repaint the car after it had been keyed
but I never got around to it and have kept it on the road. Outside of this there is no rust on the car elsewhere.
It does need repainting though. Please look at the high resolution pics closely and you can see what I'm
referring to. there is also some road rash on the lower fairing from highway driving,
So all in all, this is an excellent machine that has always been well maintained and stored in a heated garage. I
have a lot of the service history of the car rom the pevious owner and as well as my past maintenance and will
provide to the future buyer.

Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:

Porsche planning customer driving center at Le Mans
Fri, 29 Nov 2013Porsche seems to be on a campaign to build driving centers for its customers to allow them to experience the capabilities of their cars on track. It has one under way in Los Angeles, another in development at its North American headquarters in Atlanta, and a British center set up at the Silverstone circuit. Now the latest reports indicate that Porsche is planning yet another driving center at Le Mans.
The new facility is earmarked to be built at the Circuit de la Sarthe right by the start/finish line, incorporating the Porsche Curves that bridge the Arnage corner and the Ford Chicanes on the West side of the famous track.
Porsche is reportedly still seeking approval from the Automobile Club de l'Ouest that manages the circuit, and once given the green light, would still take some time to complete. But the idea of driving a 911 flat out on the legendary track is likely to make more than a few mouths water, particularly as the German automaker prepares its full-on assault of the famous endurance race next year.
Porsche 918 Spyder gets tiny recall for rear control arms
Tue, 09 Sep 2014As the recent US recall of a single Koenigsegg Agera shows, even low-production supercars aren't immune from safety campaigns. Now, there's another example that even the fastest cars can have their faults. The Porsche 918 Spyder is a pretty fantastic vehicle for its ability to mix hybrid fuel economy and incredible amounts of power, but Porsche has a problem on a few units of its halo model.
According to the recall document from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Porsche needs to inspect and possibly repair five 918s in the US because the rear axle control arms may break, which could cause a loss of control while driving. In the full defect notice, Porsche says that it first noticed the problem on June 26 when the parts failed during "heavy duty durability testing (extreme race conditions)" at the Nardo test track in Italy. It transported the components back to the company's lab for inspection, and on July 18 it issued a stop-sale to inspect the suspension parts on the supercar. The automaker also contacted owners by phone to warn them not to use the car on track, until repaired.
The affected 918s will be inspected, and if the cars have the bad parts, the control arms are will be replaced. Obviously, this will be done at no cost to owners. According to a Porsche spokesperson speaking to Autoblog, in addition to the five US cars potentially affected, there were 45 worldwide. All of the cars have now been checked.
