1988 Porsche 911 Carrara Coupe. All numbers match, engine, trans, body panels (all vin number tags are in place on body panels) etc and everything is in order. he car is in exceptional original unmolested condition with very low milage of 90,673 considering it's age. I adore this Carrara and am reluctantly selling the car. Factory options included Power Sunroof, Power Leather Seats, Cruise Control, 16 inch Fuchs wheels. I obtained the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) from Porsche which will be included.

Exterior:

All panels are razor straight. Paint is vibrant and very glossy. Appears to be all original and I see no evidence of resprays anywhere but I cannot guarantee this. It is possible the hood was resprayed since there are so few stone chips but I can't honesty tell. When I purchased the car it had a "Bra" on the hood (which is included) so that may be why there are few stone chips that you would typically see on these cars. There is one very small scratch and a very very small ding on the roof and some very minor blemishes around car as to be expected of a 30 year old vehicle. I choose to leave as is since they are so minor rather then touch up. I would rate the overall paint as a solid 8.5 out of 10. It presents really well and looks almost new. All Glass in very nice condition. Please note windshield does have some minor pitting. All lamps etc work properly. Please note remote electronic mirrors do not work and I never got around to checking into issue. Everything is super clean and in order with no signs rust or repairs anywhere, ever. Battery tray area clean and dry no issues. Includes original jack, spare and Tool Kit and I believe the original compressor.
I did install a German Dansk Sport muffler but retained the original that is included if you want it. Fuchs wheels are in good condition but I think 2 of them have minor blemishes. I did put small spacers on the wheels to fill out the wheel wells a bit better and installed longer wheel studs on the rear but retained the originals which are included as are a set of wheel locks. All rubber moldings, bumper pads, weather stripping, lens etc in very good condition. I did add the black stone guards on the rear panels but would be happy to remove them if you prefer prior to pick up of vehicle.

Interior:
Leather is tight and without tears, splitting, fading or discoloration. Bolsters show very little signs of wear that is typical on these cars. Dash is perfect, no distortion, discoloration or cracks. Headliner like new, Door panels very nice, (please note the door panel pockets are a bit distorted but very presentable) Pedals unworn, All switches, controls, indicators and gauges work correctly. Clock keeps perfect time (note, second hand does not work). Alpine period correct stereo. Sunroof works properly. Air conditioning was upgraded prior to my acquisition. Blows cool but not ice cold. May need a recharge but compressor is functioning properly. Carpets in very good condition with aftermarket Lloyds non logo front mats. Speakers were replaced with upgrades no modifications.
Heater works correctly. Shift knob shows wear and I had planned to replace. Gauges are clear, crisp with vibrant coloration on markings.

Engine:
The 3.2 Engine is all original and I see no evidence it has ever been out of the car. Ran a compression check on engine when I purchased car and all cylinders were up to spec and within range. Engine starts quickly, runs smooth and pulls strongly. Car shifts smoothly and properly and is firm and tight. No issues anywhere. Car will blow small amount of blue smoke upon startup for a few seconds if its been sitting a long time but never after that.

Always maintained and had recent plugs, cap/rotor , air filter, oil change and filter, transaxle fluid change, brake pads,etc. New battery installed 2016.
Engine compartment is in order and clean, All stickers in place. Insulation pad between engine and rear seat was recently replaced.

Porsche tuners 9ff, SpeedArt going bankrupt

Thu, 19 Sep 2013

Times 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.

Noted Porsche collector Magnus Walker learns what a TED Talk is firsthand

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

Porsche collector Magnus Walker has the name and looks of a Viking, but once he starts talking about his life story and what drives him, he's an absolutely fascinating guy. Walker recently gave a Ted Talk at a Tedx conference at UCLA and claimed he didn't really understand the idea behind the speeches. You would never know it, though. Walker is as gifted a speaker as he is a talented restorer of some seriously cool Porsches.
Walker's talk is titled "Go with Your Gut Feeling," and it amounts to his autobiography. He recounts his birth in England, dropping out of school at 15 and moving to the US at 19. Once in Los Angeles, he started selling second-hand clothes and grew it into a fashion business.
Of course, what makes him interesting to us is his passion for Porsches. He fell in love with them when he saw a white 911 as a child at the Earl's Court Motor Show in England, but Walker waited until the '90s to buy his first one. From there he started racing and eventually restoring them. Since the documentary Urban Outlaw about him was released, Magnus has become famous for the love of the brand.

Porsche's former CEO Wiedeking to stand trial over VW-share manipulation

Wed, 27 Aug 2014

Former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (left in the above photo) could potentially be facing some time in the slammer after all. The last we had heard, he and former Chief Financial Officer Holger Haerter (right) had avoided a trial in April due to a lack of evidence. However, an appeals court in Stuttgart has looked at the case again and overruled the earlier decision, finding that the executives should be tried for share manipulation during Porsche's failed attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008, Bloomberg reports.
The judges in the appeal "list numerous indications that could suggest that there was a hidden decision to increase the stake as they could suggest the opposite evaluation by the lower court," said Stefan Schueler, a spokesperson for the court, in a statement cited by Bloomberg. Wiedeking and Haerter put out their own releases saying that there was no merit to the charges.
The prosecutors allege that Wiedeking and Haerter had a plan to buy up VW stock options in 2008 to take the automotive giant over but hid it from investors. The whole thing was a massive failure and eventually allowed VW the chance to acquire Porsche and forced the two execs to step down. In addition to the criminal investigation, hedge funds have attempted to sue the company multiple times in civil court for the same reason, but they have repeatedly failed.
