You are viewing a beautiful 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet. This 911 is finished in gorgeous Grand Prix white with burgundy leather and a black convertible top.

The paint and body on this Porsche are in very nice condition. The auto check report is clean with no accidents and the car still maintains all of its original body panels. All of the VIN # stickers, inspection stickers, and even the option code sticker are still present in their original locations. The body is super straight with only a few minor dings which don't detract from this car's overall excellent condition. The paint is beautiful. It has great depth and shines up like new. Grand Prix white is really a hard color to beat on these older Porsches. There are only a few minor nicks, chips, etc. Overall, the paint looks outstanding as you can see in the pics! The interior is very nice as well with minor wear showing on the driver's seat bolster. The dash, door panels, carpeting, rear seats, etc. all show excellent. It is very obvious that this car has always been very well taken care of and garage kept. The canvas top looks great too with the exception of two very small punctures which have been patched. The back window looks clear. The top seals up very well with very little wind noise. The color matched Fuchs alloys really set this car off. This really is a sharp 911.
Mechanically, the car is sound. The 3.2 liter flat 6 starts easily and runs great. it does not run hot, smoke, knock, leak oil, etc. It holds perfect oil pressure and pulls strong through all 5 gears. The transmission shifts perfectly and was rebuilt just 9K miles ago. The car also received a brake job and was lowered and aligned at this time as well. Mileage on the car during all of this service work was 96,033. I have the receipts. The car drives exceptionally well and is a pleasure to operate. The only thing that the car will need soon is rear tires ( they are getting a little thin). Otherwise, the car needs nothing and everything seems to work as it should including the lights, turn signals, wipers, horn, clock, AC, heat, defrost, power windows, stereo, etc. Remember, I have a clean and clear title, auto check report, service records, books, etc. for this 911. Simply fly in and enjoy your drive home. Or, if you choose to use the buy it now option I will ship this car to your home free of charge as well as put 2 new rear tires on the car at my expense! Don't miss this opportunity to own this future classic Porsche.
Many of my auctions end with just a phone call. I can arrange shipping worldwide and have shipped numerous Porsches to Europe, etc. 205-276-1918.

First-ever Porsche headed home to company museum
Wed, 29 Jan 2014About 30 years before Ferdinand Porsche designed the Volkswagen Beetle, he created the Egger-Lohner electric vehicle, C.2 Phaeton model - or simply, the P1 - you see above. This was the first vehicle created by Porsche, and the car gets its nickname from the fact that he had stamped "P1" on many of the parts marking it as the first Porsche... sorry, 356 No. 1.
Now while you'd think that such an important piece of Porsche heritage has been in a museum or even the automaker's not-so-secret lair, it has actually been sitting at a warehouse for the last 112 years. Thankfully, that's all about to change as Porsche has recovered P1, and the car will soon be on "permanent display" at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart.
The P1 has a 3 horsepower motor capable of delivering a top speed of 21 miles per hour and a driving range of 49 miles, and, like many vehicles in Porsche's history, the motor is positioned at the rear of the vehicle. According to the press release posted below, the P1 finished first in a 24-mile electric vehicle race in Berlin in 1899, but it has been sitting since 1902.
Porsche Macan fails moose test, Stuttgart responds
Tue, 14 Oct 2014Different countries have different safety standards, but most of them revolve around a similar set of tests: front impact, side impact, offset impact, rollover... the usual. But Sweden has its own test. It's called the Moose Test (or the Elk Test), and it's unique to Scandinavia: a car has to be able to avoid a theoretical antlered mammal on the road while traveling at 43.5 miles per hour and return to its previous course without flipping over. The Jeep Grand Cherokee ran afoul of the uniquely Nordic maneuver a couple of years ago, but even more surprising is the way the Porsche Macan has reacted.
Under testing by Sweden's Teknikens Värld, Porsche's downsized crossover - specifically the Macan S Diesel, for what it's worth - didn't flip over, but it skidded off course. In real-world conditions, it follows, the vehicle could run off the road or into oncoming traffic. The testers ran the test several times, and even removed excess weight from the vehicle, and each time it reacted the same way.
In response, Porsche has explained that the behavior is the result of its Active Rollover Protection system kicking in. When the system detects that the vehicle could drastically oversteer, flip over or lose its tire, it momentarily applies the brake on the front outside wheel, allowing the vehicle to shed the cornering forces without losing it completely.
Meet the main man behind the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3
Fri, 30 Aug 2013We have yet to catch our breath from our first drive of the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3, but if you're still not sold on the fact that this track-ready 911 is only offered with a PDK transmission, then you should take it up with Andreas Preuninger. Preuninger is the guy who led the team responsible for the latest GT3. Porsche has released a video giving a little backstory of what went into the development of the car, which had as its goal the creation of a pure, rewarding 911 driving experience.
The video captures the sights and sounds of the GT3 perfectly. Perhaps the best part is listening to Preuninger describe one of the defining moments that resulted in replacing the GT3's manual gearbox with the PDK. We don't want to ruin the video for you, so scroll down to check it out for yourself.
