1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe
Here goes...
This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION for one of the most iconic, sought after sports cars ever made...A Guards Red 1987 G-50 Carrera Coupe w/ 90K Miles...Power Sunroof(needs cable)...Working Factory A/C...Original and still Guards Red...Black Leather Interior...Southern states 911 that is 100% RUST FREE with a LAZER STRAIT BODY...I found this 911 in a customer's garage in South Georgia...The car had been sitting for 5 years...3 weeks ago, I had every intention of putting this car through a 100%, NO EXPENSE SPARED restoration...Here's what we have done so far...
We flushed the gas tank and added "sea foam" gas and fuel system cleaner/conditioner...10 gallons of fresh 93 octane and she fired right up...2 fuel injectors, fresh GTX 20w50 and filter, and 6 new plugs later, we were running around town in our new found 911...I ordered brand new Euromeister Aftermarket Fuchs 7's and 8's by 16...You will also get the original Fuchs/they are pitted...Also ordered brand new Continental DW's in factory correct sizes 205/55ZR16's and 225/50ZR16's...Original tires were dry rotted...Had the body prep work done to get ready for the paint shop...Had several tiny dings/dents in the body...NO RUST...It is now ready for paint...
Yesterday, my master tech Andrew called me and said we needed to talk...He was taking the valve covers off do a valve adjustment and a broken head stud fell out...It was broken in half and had been broken for a long time...No noise, no issues at all with the engine up to that point...Heck, I had put 75 miles on the car running around town and back and forth to work from the house...I have had a dozen of these cars in the past and this car's engine is spot on with the oil pressure at running temp...He said I might be able to drive it another 10000 miles with no issue...But, he also said I could have a major failure tomorrow...So, my plans for a full restoration are on the back burner...This is where YOU come in...
I have set the initial bid price very, very low...This covers most of my cost involved with the purchase of the 911, the service work, body work, and new parts that come with the car and still leaves plenty of room to finish the car up and have a super nice 911...What is left? Head stud kit...Paint...Driver's side seat cover...Headliner/brand new headliner in the box is included...Sunroof cable(the motor works with switch, just doesn't open and close)...Fuel sending unit (gas gauge inop)...Needs parking brake cable installed (included)...Install new tires and wheels(best to ship with old ones on so the new ones don't get damaged)...Probably needs additional items but this is what I noticed after driving it for 3 weeks...
Brakes, transmission(including syncros), shocks, shifter, and all else works like it should...A/C could probably use a charge, but as I said, I have been driving this car for 3 weeks and it has done perfectly...The only thing that you will notice while driving is that the gas gauge reads empty and I know it has plenty of gas and the sunroof won't open...Everything else mechanically on the car is functioning like it should be...
GOOD LUCK and call me if you have any questions...I plan on letting this auction run until its done...I do have it advertised locally, so it could sell to someone else even if there are bids...I will give the high bidder the opportunity to match the local offer, in the event of a local buyer...AGAIN, GOOD LUCK BIDDING...I have clear GA title in hand...Thank you, Brian Gwaltney 770-898-1061...South Atlanta Motorsports has been selling top quality hand selected, premium luxury and sports cars in McDonough, GA since 2000...Home of the UNREAL356 Speedster Replica, we specialize in "special" Porsche vehicles...Just check us out...Thanks from Brian Gwaltney and South Atlanta Motorsports in McDonough, GA...
On Apr-16-13 at 13:43:54 PDT, seller added the following information:
Thanks for all of the questions and calls...YES, CARFAX IS CLEAN...NO DAMAGE HISTORY...In fact, this Carrera looks like a NO HIT BODY...CARFAX shows the 911 in Salt Lake City, UT in 1991, Lakeland, FL in 2000, and with my guy in GA in 2005...Hood has the VIN Decal near the back...The Porsche Options Decal is where it is supposed to be right by the hood latch mechanism...Other VIN Decal is on the Passenger Door where it should be...I see NO SIGNS of any PREVIOUS PAINT WORK or BODY WORK...
THANKS AGAIN AND GOOD LUCK BIDDING...

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.
$1.4B hedge fund suit against Porsche dismissed
Wed, 19 Mar 2014Investors have canvassed courts in Europe and the US to repeatedly sue Porsche over its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008 (see here, and here and here), and they have repeatedly failed to win any cases. You can add another big loss to the tally, with Bloomberg reporting that the Stuttgart Regional Court has dismissed a 1.4-billion euro ($1.95B US) lawsuit, the decision explained by the court's assertion that the investors would have lost on their short bets even if Porsche hadn't misled them.
Examining the hedge funds' motives for stock purchases and the bets that VW share prices would fall, judge Carola Wittig said that the funds didn't base their decisions on the key bits of "misinformation," and instead were participating simply in "highly speculative and naked short selling," only to get caught out.
With other cases still pending, the continued streak of victories bodes well for Porsche's courtroom fortunes, since judges will expect new information to consider overturning precedent. If there is any new info, it could come from the potential criminal cases still outstanding against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and CFO Holger Härter, who were both indicted on charges of market manipulation.
Porsche Cayman GTS in track battle with 996 GT3
Wed, 09 Jul 2014Here's your tough question of the day: Would you rather drive a new Porsche Cayman GTS or a slightly older, 996-era Porsche 911 GT3? Certainly, both cars have their plusses. The Cayman is the more modern proposition, sure, but the GT3 is, well, a GT3. So yes, it's a tough decision.
If you're one of the lucky souls that have to make that choice, then this video from Evo should prove pretty helpful. It's a track battle, starring Jethro Bovingdon with a new GTS and an old GT3.
Calling the GTS "fantastically agile" and "fast, but it's also hilariously good fun," Bovingdon bangs home a solid lap time of 1:05.2 before switching to the GT3. It's remarkable to see just how dated the 996-generation 911 looks after viewing the newer Porsche, and from where we sit, it's further proof that the old car's headlights are something that's best forgotten. Styling qualms aside, though, can the GT3 keep up with its racy younger cousin?
