1985 - Porsche 911 on 2040-cars
Floriston, California, United States
This is an original Triple Black 1985 911 Carerra Cabriolet 3.2L 5 speed manual. Interior was removed, stripped to bare metal, rust treated, soundproofed and reinstalled with new Sliverknit carpet ( hand cut in belgium not knock off crap), all needed interior trim and seals, all real porsche new old stock parts. Basically this car spent 3 solid months being gone over every inch with the philosophy to replace anything bad with new OE Porsche parts. tons of video and photos avail to the winning bidder on the interior restoration, undercarriage, trunk and misc. Anyway a picture is worth a thousand words. So please look at the HD pics, ask questions, etc etc. I have not seen a triple black cab in the country in this condition. Turn the key and go. It drives as equally perfect as it looks. A few notes: the 85 and 84 Carerras were 3.2L matched with the 915 5 speed trans. "The differance is subtle, A good 915 is as easy to shift as a g50 IMHO; the gates are a little more vague in a 915. A slow and deliberate shift is recommended in any 911. The shifter responds well to gentle inputs as does the entire car for that matter. Careful modulation of all the inputs of a 911 is rewarded. I have no problem whatsoever with a 915 and see little advantage over a G50. I do like the hydrolic clutch for stop and go traffic, but again, a properly adjusted clutch in a 915 is a breeze to live with. There seems to be a bit of an obscession over the G50 cars as "better" than a 915 varient and I feel it is not well founded. The charm of the Carrera over the SC is quantifiable in many ways beyond the gearbox. Even then,the divide between the two is small. ( borrowed from reenlist, said perfectly). " 1985 was a year of few options as the yuppies had not taken over the ordering as of yet. It has what to needs. Cruise in it or track it! These are amazing driver cars. The tensioner issues were gone from the sc era and the engine got better and better. The top is manual. Easily up and down, no issues. Suspension on this one came with the boge struts and shocks. Front and rear stabilizer bars, nice and tight. Calipers are zinc and not painted. 16 inch wheels, real forged fuchs, not knockoffs. New rubber. New boot, top, seals, on and on. Everything visible and not ,was heavily detailed, restored or replaced. In 1985 Porsche made 1,050 911 Cabs for the US. As the turbo model was not avail yet, only grey market until 86, the base set up for this porsche with the Turbo whale tale in triple black was a favorite amongst dealers and buyers alike. Its 209 HP is easily raised 25% with cat by pass, dme upgrade, but this car is 100% stock. The strut tower brace is aftermarket and a great idea on cabs. Easily removed. Driven about 400 miles to dial it in and cause its there and I can't resist. But really to ensure all is working well. Clean CA Title in hand and just passed CA smog. Many of these 911's have assignment titles and here you will have no problem registering your car or knowing its for real! Porsche Certificate of Authenticity included. This is an air cooled treasure and sure to hold and appreciate in value. I am a private party, PCA member for years and have had 14 porsches. Basically this is a labor of love and a lot of fun to do. The reserve is set fairly and this would be a great addition to any collection. I certainly hope someone who wants to drive this, as well gets a hold of it. They need to be driven! JMHO. All inspections and PPI welcome at buyers expense. I will help in anyway with shipping and such, but please if you bid please be ready to buy. As in any older car there are always things to do, but on this one all the heavy lifting is done. Sit down inside this and take a drive with the Blaupunkt playing and that unforgettable feel of a rear engine 80's porsche pushing you down the freeway. You will think its a brand new car again in 1985. Doors close perfect, windows are a little green color, power antenna in the windshield, leather is soft and smells like a porsche should. Please note that this car did NOT have rust. Sadly being a convertible the carpet took a beating from the sun and had some serious holes. I really didn't want to change the carpet. I actually kept a few of the slightly faded pieces when it was installed specifically NOT to make this look "too new". New pieces not used will come with the car. The reason for replacing the soundproofing was, it was cracked a lot. Common after 30 years. That will eventually trap water and rust. Plus the new high end carpet feels amazing barefoot and its nice to know everything underneath is clean new and correct. As far as i know this is the original paint. It was represented to me that way and looking at it closely i can see that good ole orange peel and I found no body work. Again do your PPI or etc. Regardless, there are imperfections and some small rock chips etc. I took all the photos with a cannon camera and my iPhone. I didn't even " hit the enhance button". It really shows well. Like i said if you need to see more I will send out any requests. List of parts: total in parts alone approx. 12K. with receipts. No games.

Porsche Macan caught completely uncovered
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Porsche is preparing to launch its sub-Cayenne CUV, with a suspected debut at the 2013 Los Angeles International Auto Show, which means we're right about at the point where undisguised models start scampering around the cities and towns of Germany. Our spy photographers snagged just such a model, with only the headlights and taillights concealed by camouflage (no, those comically large lamps aren't a production item).
The undisguised car looks like a tiny Cayenne. Not really surprising, we know, but it's impressive to see how the Cayenne's styling works with the smaller proportions of the Macan. It looks squat, athletic and poised, like it's a small, "sporty" crossover we'd actually want to drive. Both the Macan and the Macan Turbo are shown, with the more powerful model sporting a set of quad exhausts.
The only big questions now concern the shape of the lights and the interior. From the photos, we can see a rough outline of the headlights, although the taillights are more difficult to discern. The interior remains a mystery.
First-ever Porsche headed home to company museum
Wed, 29 Jan 2014About 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.
Porsche wants you to 3D print your own Cayman
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Have you got access to a 3D printer? Well lucky you, because as we're rapidly learning, the possibilities are virtually endless. And if your tastes lean towards the automotive (as we'd assume they do if you're reading this page), we've got good news.
Porsche has just released 3D printing data for the Cayman S so you can three-dimensionally print out your own and customize to your heart's content. Now Porsche hasn't specified just to what scale the data will allow you to print your Cayman, but we have a feeling that'd mostly be limited by the size of the printer at your disposal. Check it out in the video below and follow the link to the Porsche site to download the file.
