Stunning example of a 1990 Porsche 911 Carrera cabriolet, absolutely beautiful paint, well maintained over the years, paint is absolutely glorious. all panels as straight as an arrow, no evidence of any paint work, beautiful Guards Red paint throughout.
Mechanically the car is very strong, runs well, recently completed a trip of 900 miles THIS PAST WEEK without any incident, excellent oil pressure runs at 4 to 5 bars the whole time, car runs cool, oil temperature gauge at 8 o'clock the whole time, oil level gauge works perfectly, all gauges work perfectly, tachometer, speedometer, odometer, fuel level, all is just as new. Clutch and transmission are excellent, car shifts gears through all the gears shift through cleanly and smoothly, all synchros are fine, reverse is fine, brakes stop on a dime, tires are full tread, car "tracks well" as you drive it down the road, especially at higher speeds, engine runs strong with no issues, engine pulls strong through all the gears and you reach 80 to 90 mph in a flash.
Cosmetically there are no issues. I must address the car history. It is reported that there was an rear accident in 4/23/2004. Carfax reports it as a minor accident. We have performed a thorough inspection of the vehicle and while looking underneath we have found no evidence of any accident. Rear bumper is perfect, all supports are perfect, all panel fit is 100% on, all gaps are correct, there are no waves or ripples or dings in the body in any area. Of course you are more than welcome to inspect the vehicle with your own eyes. If it is not as we say, a FULL REFUND will be granted. All factory stickers are present under the hood, in the engine compartment and on the driver side door jam.There is no corrosion on the chassis, no rust spots, no bubbles, nothing of the sort.
Interior is excellent, carpets are clean, non-smoker vehicle, no strange odors, nothing askew. Door panels are clean, seats are clean, leather is in very good condition; the convertible top is excellent and appears to be original. Back window and stitching is perfect; there are normal fold marks on the top; there are no holes in the top for a 22 year old vehicle that looks as though it has been garaged its whole life. Top goes up and down perfectly. Dash is clean with no cracks; rear seats are as if no one ever sat in them.
If you are looking for "the one", then this is it. We have had a 1/2 dozen of these over the past year and this is the finest. You will not fine a finer example. It is just beautiful! The pictures do not do it justice. It is more impressive in person. This is like a work of art. It is the Iconic Porsche 911 air-ooled and they are an end of a breed. You will never lose on this investment; it will only go up!

How Porsche got Patrick Dempsey into the driver's seat for Le Mans
Tue, 27 Aug 2013How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice. Ask Patrick Dempsey and he'll likely tell you the same secret for landing a role on a hit TV show or, for that matter, driving a Porsche in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
That's because, like McQueen and Newman, Dempsey has earned his place in that rarified field of actors who also race. He's competed in Baja and Grand-Am, co-owns an IndyCar team, and this year returned to Le Mans where he and his teammates Joe Foster and Patrick Long finished fourth in the GTE-Am class behind the wheel of their Porsche 911 RSR.
It's a grueling race, and the fluid transition between drivers behind the wheel is a key element to success. Check out the satirical video below to see how Dempsey and company got ready.
Porsche becomes first company to rent out Vatican's Sistine Chapel
Fri, 17 Oct 2014We wouldn't go so far as to say God is a Porsche fan, but those in charge of one of the holiest Christian spots on our little blue marble are welcoming the German automaker into one of the religion's most revered and beautiful settings - the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. In so doing, Porsche will reportedly become the first company to rent out the holy hall for a corporate function.
Now, it's not like Pope Francis has signed off on Porsche doing do donuts in a 911 underneath Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam. Instead, the Vatican has rented out the home of the Papal Conclave to the Porsche Travel Club, which will host a classical music concert. The Travel Club organizes events and tours across Europe for Porsche enthusiasts, with the Vatican concert just one part of a tour of Rome.
According to Automotive News Europe, Porsche will sell 40 tickets - at 5,000 euros each ($6,379) - to the event, while the Vatican has confirmed that the Pope will not be in attendance.
Porsche 959 Prototype started it all
Wed, 11 Sep 2013While Porsche was unveiling the new Nürburgring-dominating 918 Spyder downstairs in Hall 3 here at the Frankfurt Messe, there was another Porsche supercar quietly and discretely on display upstairs in the same hall. That, of course, was the 959. But not just any 959: this was the original Gruppe B prototype.
The 959 was first developed as a rally car in the early 80s to compete with the likes of the original Audi Sport Quattro S1, Ford RS200 and Lancia Delta S4. But Zuffenhausen soon saw its potential as a production road-going supercar, emerging as a technological marvel to challenge the decidedly linear approach of the Ferrari F40. It still stands as a groundbreaking supercar in its own right, but also lead to the first all-wheel-drive 911 Turbo and set the stage for the Carrera GT and aforementioned 918 Spyder that followed to cap the top of the evolving Porsche range.
This original Gruppe B prototype, which presaged the production 959, packed a 450-horsepower 2.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six into an even sleeker form than the final version that followed. We caught up with it on display as part of a display of 80s German classics, of which this 959 prototype immediately stood out as the pick of the proverbial litter. Check out the hotness in the high-resolution image gallery above.
