Porsche 911 Targa on 2040-cars
Hillsboro, Oregon, United States
My 1977 Porsche 911 Targa in excellent condition with low approximately 132,500 miles in Sienna Metallic. This car was restored in 1995, garage kept and driven little since. The restoration included a complete rebuild of the original engine with upgrades such as Carrera tensioners, case savers, pop off valve in air box etc., a complete high quality repaint, targa top and front leather seats restored, new shocks and struts etc. Around this same time a high quality Pioneer am/fm cassette with amp under passenger seat and 4 speakers was added, the stereo sounds fantastic! In 2009 this car had the complete front battery and suspension pan replaced as well as the front valence. I assume this car had some rust from the battery, which precipitated the repairs. This area is now excellent, perhaps better than new (see pics). These repairs cost approximately $8000. 1977 Porsche 911 cars are completely galvanized to prevent rust and this car has no rust at all, the floor pans and all other areas are excellent. The only area that had rust near the battery is fixed to perfection.Engine number is 6273091, which is a US, 911S 1977 so looks to be original to car. I should have a Kardex to verify whether this car is numbers matching in a couple of days and I will add that info as soon as I can. I just completed a 50 hour concourse detailing of every component including the interior, exterior, front trunk and engine compartment. This car runs and drives fantastic, it is an absolute pleasure and needs nothing to be driven or shown. This car includes the spare tire, an excellent jack and a fantastic, complete tool kit which I would value at $1000. Also included is a correct 1977 owner’s manual cover with green interior...

Race Recap: 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans defines 'endurance'
Mon, 16 Jun 2014Commenting on the rush of events that rocked beginning and end of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Paul Truswell of Radio Le Mans said "the race is about the ability to endure, not just the ability of drivers to do what they do for a long time." The entire race machine, all the way down to the pit boards and radios, has to survive the stress and abuse of the entire day. This was the race to prove those words.
There were two Toyotas, two Porsches and three Audis, five of the seven led the race at some point, six of the seven ran in the top three. Toyota will be hugely disappointed that it didn't win when its car and drivers were so, so strong, but they gave Audi the kind of scare we haven't seen since the best of Peugeot's days, and Toyota did a better job of it even in the loss. Porsche blew away everyone's expectations, falling 3.5 hours short of a fairy tale ending that would have made Disney cry.
But Le Mans doesn't really do fairy tales. Well, not that fairy tale. Audi's Twitter handle during the event was #welcomechallenges. As usual, Le Mans answered for the entire field.
Drive-up bank robbery perpetrated with Cayenne and WRX
Sat, 14 Sep 2013Thieves carried out what appears to be a movie-script-perfect robbery of a bank in Sydney, Australia early on Friday morning, using two stolen high-performance vehicles in the process.
At around 11:15 AM local time, in near mid-day light, reports say that two men in masks smashed into the side of a Westpac bank in a confirmed-stolen black Porsche Cayenne. The perpetrators were armed with sledgehammers according to witness reports, and took only about five minutes to take what they were after inside of the bank.
The rapid getaway was executed in a Subaru WRX, also confirmed as a stolen vehicle, while witnesses snapped camera phone images of the illicit goings on. One Twitter user posted a few of the images to his social media feed; you can take a look at them in our small gallery below. Follow on down for the full video report, from The Sydney Morning Herald.
1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS takes center stage with Petrolicious
Wed, 04 Jun 2014Today, one of the most exciting track toys available is the Porsche 911 GT3. Its forbearer, though, was an altogether different beast that was every bit as exciting. Yes, we're talking about the old 911 Carrera RS that blessed the early 1970s. With a mere 1,580 cars built, meant specifically to satisfy the FIA's homologation requirements, the RS is one rare pre-Malaise era cars.
Complete with a 2.7-liter flat-six engine, this RS of Mark Haddawy is one of the earlier examples of the breed (later cars received a larger, 3.0-liter engine). Still, it can scamper to 60 miles per hour in a very respectable 5.6 seconds and will happily hit 150 mph in a straight line. Sporting Porsche's iconic duckbill rear spoiler, the equally iconic Fuchs wheels, as well as slew of options, as Haddawy points out, each of the nearly 1,600 RS models is its own unique iteration on the Porsche performance formula.
Take a look below for the latest video from the crew at Petrolicious.
