1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe
Here goes...
This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION for one of the most iconic, sought after sports cars ever made...A Guards Red 1987 G-50 Carrera Coupe w/ 90K Miles...Power Sunroof(needs cable)...Working Factory A/C...Original and still Guards Red...Black Leather Interior...Southern states 911 that is 100% RUST FREE with a LAZER STRAIT BODY...I found this 911 in a customer's garage in South Georgia...The car had been sitting for 5 years...3 weeks ago, I had every intention of putting this car through a 100%, NO EXPENSE SPARED restoration...Here's what we have done so far...
We flushed the gas tank and added "sea foam" gas and fuel system cleaner/conditioner...10 gallons of fresh 93 octane and she fired right up...2 fuel injectors, fresh GTX 20w50 and filter, and 6 new plugs later, we were running around town in our new found 911...I ordered brand new Euromeister Aftermarket Fuchs 7's and 8's by 16...You will also get the original Fuchs/they are pitted...Also ordered brand new Continental DW's in factory correct sizes 205/55ZR16's and 225/50ZR16's...Original tires were dry rotted...Had the body prep work done to get ready for the paint shop...Had several tiny dings/dents in the body...NO RUST...It is now ready for paint...
Yesterday, my master tech Andrew called me and said we needed to talk...He was taking the valve covers off do a valve adjustment and a broken head stud fell out...It was broken in half and had been broken for a long time...No noise, no issues at all with the engine up to that point...Heck, I had put 75 miles on the car running around town and back and forth to work from the house...I have had a dozen of these cars in the past and this car's engine is spot on with the oil pressure at running temp...He said I might be able to drive it another 10000 miles with no issue...But, he also said I could have a major failure tomorrow...So, my plans for a full restoration are on the back burner...This is where YOU come in...
I have set the initial bid price very, very low...This covers most of my cost involved with the purchase of the 911, the service work, body work, and new parts that come with the car and still leaves plenty of room to finish the car up and have a super nice 911...What is left? Head stud kit...Paint...Driver's side seat cover...Headliner/brand new headliner in the box is included...Sunroof cable(the motor works with switch, just doesn't open and close)...Fuel sending unit (gas gauge inop)...Needs parking brake cable installed (included)...Install new tires and wheels(best to ship with old ones on so the new ones don't get damaged)...Probably needs additional items but this is what I noticed after driving it for 3 weeks...
Brakes, transmission(including syncros), shocks, shifter, and all else works like it should...A/C could probably use a charge, but as I said, I have been driving this car for 3 weeks and it has done perfectly...The only thing that you will notice while driving is that the gas gauge reads empty and I know it has plenty of gas and the sunroof won't open...Everything else mechanically on the car is functioning like it should be...
GOOD LUCK and call me if you have any questions...I plan on letting this auction run until its done...I do have it advertised locally, so it could sell to someone else even if there are bids...I will give the high bidder the opportunity to match the local offer, in the event of a local buyer...AGAIN, GOOD LUCK BIDDING...I have clear GA title in hand...Thank you, Brian Gwaltney 770-898-1061...South Atlanta Motorsports has been selling top quality hand selected, premium luxury and sports cars in McDonough, GA since 2000...Home of the UNREAL356 Speedster Replica, we specialize in "special" Porsche vehicles...Just check us out...Thanks from Brian Gwaltney and South Atlanta Motorsports in McDonough, GA...
On Apr-16-13 at 13:43:54 PDT, seller added the following information:
Thanks for all of the questions and calls...YES, CARFAX IS CLEAN...NO DAMAGE HISTORY...In fact, this Carrera looks like a NO HIT BODY...CARFAX shows the 911 in Salt Lake City, UT in 1991, Lakeland, FL in 2000, and with my guy in GA in 2005...Hood has the VIN Decal near the back...The Porsche Options Decal is where it is supposed to be right by the hood latch mechanism...Other VIN Decal is on the Passenger Door where it should be...I see NO SIGNS of any PREVIOUS PAINT WORK or BODY WORK...
THANKS AGAIN AND GOOD LUCK BIDDING...
BRIAN

Which is quicker in the standing mile, a Subaru WRX STI or a Porsche Cayman?
Thu, 26 Jun 2014The 2015 Subaru WRX STI and 2014 Porsche Cayman are both saddled with unfair reputations. The STI with its huge wing and gold wheels has the title of the ultimate boy-racer. On the other hand, Porsche brand snobs look down on he base Cayman as just a wannabe 911. In reality, they are both pretty fantastic performance cars. But what would happen if the two of them lined up at a stoplight, and maybe the guy in the suit in the Cayman started throwing some revs at the young man in the STI? Automobile decided to find out in a recent video pitting the two stereotyped hot rods against each other in a standing-mile drag race.
In terms of raw numbers, they are surprisingly close. Both use flat engines and six-speed manual transmissions here, but the Subaru has more power and torque. However, the Porsche makes up for it with 300 pounds less weight. Neither should have a problem with traction either thanks to the STI's sophisticated all-wheel-drive setup, and the Cayman's mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout.
The comparable specs certainly show themselves in the real world for the race. We're not going to give away the winner here because it's too exciting, but let's just say the finish is very, very close. Scroll down to watch both of them shrug off their stereotypes and show off their real performance.
Porsche CEO hints at Macan GTS, expects brand sales growth to 200K+
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Porsche is expecting big things from its little Macan, with CEO Matthias Mueller announcing that not only is a sportier GTS model being considered, but that the CUV will almost certainly help push Porsche beyond its 200,000-unit-per-year sales goal three years earlier than expected.
"We're transferring the genes of the Porsche brand into a new market segment," Mueller said during a speech to kick off Macan production, according to Automotive News Europe. Macan demand should push the brand past 200,000 sales, Mueller said, confirming what we reported back in August. And if Porsche really has a hit on its hands, it is able to boost production of the sporty crossover beyond its initial capacity of 50,000 units, according to the brand's CEO.
Provided that the Macan is the success Porsche hopes it will be, Mueller hinted that the range could expand beyond the initial Macan S and Macan Turbo. "GTS versions have a tradition at Porsche," Mueller said. "We haven't made a final decision yet regarding the Macan, but I'm sure it makes a lot of sense."
Porsche Cayman GT4 spotted at the N?rburgring
Tue, 13 May 2014It was just the other day that we first caught wind of Porsche's plans to build a GT4 version of the Cayman, and now we're already looking at spy shots of the vehicle in question undergoing testing at - where else? - the Nürburgring.
With more aggressive front-end aero, a GT3-style air vent ahead of the front hood, a large wing at the back, and spindly alloys packed with over-sized brakes at each corner, this Cayman is clearly more extreme than even the range-topping GTS. The rear diffuser and central exhaust tips look about the same as those you'd find at the back of the Cayman GTS, though.
What we can't see, of course, is what Porsche has slotted in under the rear glass, how it's upgraded the interior and how much weight it's stripped out of the thing to get it down to fighting weight, but you can bet it'll come with a substantial power bump and a stripped-out interior with racing buckets and little else to open the gap between it and the GTS... and close the gap to the 911 GT3 which it will join as the baby brother in Porsche's performance-focused lineup.
