This is a beautiful running and driving ’75 US spec Carrera. It is not a concours trailer queen, but instead is a great near-original. Approximately 400 of these cars were made for the US market for the 1975 model year. It appears to have been pampered all its life, with no evidence of accident damage or rust issues. We have ownership and service history back to 1975, as well as the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity. Original jack, tools, owners manual, and keys are still with the car.

Equipment on this car includes leather sport seats, air conditioning, and factory electric sunroof. The car has just received a major engine out service by Perfect Power (details below), one of the leading independent Porsche shops in the midwest. The photos really don’t do the car justice. It also drives as tight and solid as you’d expect of a well-kept 911.

The car can be driven and enjoyed as is, with no need to be cosmetically restored. All factory ID tags are present. The mileage on the odometer is miles over 100,000; but you’d never know it to look at it. As r.o.w. Carrera prices have risen to over $300,000 in some cases, these US cars have also increased in collectability and value. You’d be hard pressed to find a more original, more well-kept example.

BODY: The car has been a California and Colorado car most of its life, with very limited use in Illinois ( approx. 1,500 miles) in the last few years. It shows no evidence of rust repair ever. Floors and trunk are excellent both inside and underneath. There is even a considerable amount of the factory cosmoline on the underside. The panel gaps are tight and flush. The body has had one very nice repaint some time in the past. There are some chips from normal use. Body rubber trim and weatherstrips are also in very good shape. This car gets a lot of attention and compliments.

INTERIOR: Everything is original Porsche as far as I can tell. Very good to excellent carpets, door panels, dash, dash top, headliner and original steering wheel. Seat leather is excellent for its age, supple, with good color, and no rips or tears of any significance.

ENGINE AND DRIVETRAIN: Engine was rebuilt about 37,000 miles ago. Just completed a fresh engine out service, with reseal of engine and trans. Valves were adjusted at this time. New plug wires, many gaskets and seals replaced as needed. Clutch assembly was replaced, synchros inspected, and transmission case resealed during this service. Receipts are available

STEERING AND SUSPENSION: Aligned and corner weighted about 1,500 miles ago. Everything tight and operating as it should. Steering is typically smooth and light with no excess play. The car rides and handles very well.

BRAKES: System inspected. Everything is in proper working order. Plenty of pad life left.

ELECTRICAL and INSTRUMENTS. A/C blows cold, and has been updated to 134a refrigerant. Charging system working properly. All lights, instruments, sunroof, Blaupunkt cassette radio, windows, horn and fan in proper working order. Even the seat belt buzzer and warning light are working.

WHEELS and TIRES: Bridgestone Potenza 195/65 and 215/60 x 15 tires with about 1,500 miles of use. Original Fuchs 15x7 and 15x8’’ wheels show some wear and tear from normal use, and rims appear to have their original dual anodized finish.

GENERAL: Remember, this is a 39 year old used car and is being sold as-is, with any existing faults, whether known or unknown. There is no warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied. I have been a licensed dealer in Illinois for over 30 years. The above description is accurate, to the best of my knowledge, but I encourage your inspection BEFORE bidding.

There are no other fees assessed, other than those taxes and fees required by the state when registering the vehicle. Illinois requires that I collect sales tax for some states, which will be credited by your state of residence when registering the vehicle. Check my eBay feedback.

2014 Porsche 911 GT3 [w/video]

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

The Bearable Lightness Of Being
Start with a standard Porsche 911 Carrera and its 350-horsepower, 3.6-liter flat six-cylinder engine. Bore a crepe-thin slice of aluminum from each cylinder to get to 3.8 liters, add a wider track out back and two extra exhaust pipes and voila, you can append an S to the Carrera's name. Hang two sets of wet, multi-disc clutches along its spine and you can make that a 4, or a 4S. Bolt on two forced-induction compressors and piping, add two fender vents and comically wide rear tires and you've redeemed your ticket to a Turbo. Increase the boost pressure and swell the corral to 560 horses and you have the Turbo S, which is the Virginia Slims of the 911 line-up because it's come a long way, baby.
Or you can go in a different direction. At that second stop, grab the 3.8-liter and cart it over to the engineers at Porsche's development center in Weissach, Germany. If racing were meat, they would be among the alpha carnivores. The baseboards in their homes are probably painted with miniature billboards for motor oil and vintage cigarettes along the straights, red-and-white stripes around every corner.

Porsche would have entered F1 if Audi had blocked its Le Mans program

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

Go 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.

2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S

Wed, 04 Sep 2013

A Wicked-Fast Street Legal Multi-Tool
Walter Röhrl was carving up the circuit in the Porsche 911 Turbo S like a skilled Jedi Master - and I was sitting next to him, mesmerized by the breathtaking show. I had strapped myself securely into the front passenger bucket of the all-new coupe less than a minute earlier, expecting nothing more than a few quick laps around a track at the hands of another celebrated race driver. Been there, done that. Many times, actually.
Yet this was different. Röhrl was not only calculated and methodical in his approach, but his rally-tuned cerebrum appeared to be actively reading available grip levels while effortlessly tossing the all-wheel-drive Porsche into each corner at gut-wrenching speeds. His hands were moving rapidly, sending tiny steering corrections to the front tires, and he was using every inch of the track to extract more speed. We launched over a curb, dropped a wheel in the dirt and then drifted around a wide off-camber turn. His human precision and focus was astounding, and the performance he was extracting from the machine was just short of breathtaking.
