Offered is a 1984 Porsche 944 V8 conversion Resto-mod.
This car was stripped down to the chassis and restored. It started life as a charcoal grey car.
The front and rear bumpers have been shaved.
Every piece of this car has been either painted or polished.
The engine is a GM 5.3l with an ls6 intake, throttle body, injectors, and custom headers. 3" exhaust to a magnaflow muffler. Generating approx. 340hp and 290 tq at the flywheel. Originally these cars had 150hp.
The brakes had been upgraded along with the engine to four piston calipers on all four corners.
The list of new parts is to long to list, this car is basically new. It has only been test driven. ( The rear hatch glass is the only part of the car that does show its age, but is still in very respectable condition)

The balance of the car does not change much with the addition of the V8. Approx. 70lbs. The conversion is actually lighter than the turbo model of the car. The swap is popular because these LS series engines are bullet proof compared to the Porsche engines and less expensive to maintain.
The car has manual steering and brakes. The feel is light and nimble.
This is a "drivers" car, the HVAC system has been deleted. The HVAC controls in the center stack have been removed to accommodate a 7" touch screen.

If you have any question on the performance of these cars please search youtube for 944 conversion videos. These cars are very impressive.
I can say this is one occasion that the pictures do not do the car justice, it is gorgeous.

Is this the fastest '84 944 in existence? Quite possible.
Is this the cleanest '84 944 in existence? Almost guaranteed!
Is this the cleanest '84 Porsche 944 V8 conversion in existence? Certainly.

Please view youtube video of this car running at: http://youtu.be/UenTX0A9Q3o

I am available to answer any questions, please email or text first with contact info. 219-eight nine eight-7001 (Brian)

Warning: Once you ride in this car you will be hooked!

Asking 35K or best offer. Cash only. I will take a 944 as a partial trade. It is listed on other venues.

1986 Porsche 959 Prototype at Barrett-Jackson sees gavel fall at $440,000 [UPDATE: w/video]

Sat, 19 Jan 2013

Fans of Porsche in America have longed for the chance to buy a 959 ever since the German automaker produced and sold it (well, sold it everywhere but the United States...) in the 1980s. Well, they just had their chance. The car you see above is a Porsche 959 prototype built in 1986, and only one other running prototype still exists.
The 959 prototype can't be driven on public roads, as it carries no such certification. Somehow, we doubt that matters all that much to the new buyer - this one is probably going to be sitting in a collection. When the gavel finally fell, bidding had reached $400,000, plus a 10-percent buyer's fee.
Check out our high-res image gallery above to see this prototype up close, and scroll down below to watch a video of it crossing the auction block and for its official auction description.

Leno, Seinfeld and a Porsche 356/2 featured in latest CICGC

Sun, 19 Jan 2014

In the latest kaffeeklatsch known as Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, Jerry Seinfeld pulls Jay Leno out of his garage for a trip to Jones Coffee in Pasadena, CA. The NBC funnyman we've lately seen driving two guest Porsches in his eponymous garage this time takes the passenger seat in a 1949 Porsche 356/2, one of early all-aluminum, hand-built coupes - still in 100-percent original condition - built in Gmund, Austria and nicknamed "Gmunds."
The comedy veterans have known one another for 35 years, so the episode is rich with stories of The Good Old Days. Leno says it is also the first time he's ever had a cup of coffee, and for obvious comedic reasons they start with the civet-stained beans made famous in The Bucket List. You can watch Leno take his first sip below, and have you haven't heard the joke about the goat and the anvil, scroll on down for a listen to that and one or two more jokes besides.

Porsche 918 Spyder could lap the 'Ring even quicker [w/video]

Mon, 16 Sep 2013

Porsche had a lot to crow about at the Frankfurt Motor Show last week. Not only did it debut the new 50 Years edition and Turbo versions of the 911 and the new hybrid and diesel versions of the Panamera, but while unveiling the final production version of the new 918 Spyder, it revealed the record lap it set around the Nürburgring.
The 918 Spyder's 6:57 lap time makes it the fastest street-legal production car ever to lap the Nordschleife and the first to break the seven-minute barrier. But the driver who clocked the time thinks it can go even faster.
That driver was Marc Lieb, who has won the Nürburgring 24-hour race four times, making him something of an expert on the subject. In speaking with Australia's Drive TV, Lieb suggested that they could get even more out of the car, as you can hear for yourself in the video below.
