JUST RECENTLY OUT OF 25 YEAR STORAGE! ALWAYS GARAGED! ALL GONE THROUGH AND SERVICED! RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT! Up for auction with NO RESERVE!!! is a true, rust free, California 1966 Porsche. Looks can be deceiving on this beautiful Porsche. Changes were made throughout the early 1980's and is not your average stock original Porsche. We have a poster board of this car in magazines and also a few pics of the car before it was completely stock to see it was a perfect unmolested rust free candidate. I understand that today someone would be hung for doing such a thing to such a nice original car, but you have to remember this was started in the early 1980's when you couldn't give these cars away. The concept was to improve and enhance the style and appearance and increase the power capability. It is most obvious in the engine compartment where a Chevy 350 V8 now resides as the power plant for this car. The engine runs well and sounds great. Parts for routine maintenance are easily available and economical. This makes most Porsche owners envious. What makes this so car so cool is you never have to smog it in any state!! That alone is worth tons!! To do this properly and achieve a vehicle that looks and performs like a factory made product, hours and hours of time and experience are in this car and it shows. The end result is a very uniquely styled and preforming Porsche. The body has a 930 Carrera body kit which consists of turbo flares front and rear, a front bumper with air scoop, rear bumpers, whale tale, right and left lower side rails, right and left turn signal lamps, right and left mirrors, right and left tail lights, left side rear fog lamp and center Porsche insignia. Only the seats, some gauges, and the steering wheel have been changed on the interior and the rest is original to the car in amazing shape!! The seats are now Recaros. The fans, water pump and gauges are all electrical. The gas tank has been modified to accommodate the new radiator. The flow of the radiator is left to right and has dual 10's fans mounted on a triple row core radiator. The radiator has a hand-made sheet metal housing that was added to improve the appearance. The stock Porsche engine was replaced with a Chevrolet 350 V8 which fits perfectly. Everything else is stock Porsche. Porsche motor mounts, gas, throttle and adapter plate have been hand fabricated using the stock 350 V8 motor mounts. The difference in weight is only 10 pounds. Mechanical gauges are located on the upper right hand side of the engine bay. The distributor cap is a crab type for easy removal and replacement. The suspension is stock Porsche. The trans axle is also stock Porsche. The exhaust system is custom. The 350 V8 has headers flowing back through turbo mufflers. The fuchs wheels are polished aluminum wrapped in BF Goodrich 160/60/16's in the front and monster 280/70/15's in the back. All four corners are disk brakes. The transmission shifts smoothly through all the gears and there is plenty of pressure on the clutch. The paint is in good condition for its age and shines up nicely. There are a few little nicks here and there from normal driving. The glass is in good condition with tint and no cracks. The doors close properly and the windows roll up and down as they should. The head lights work, the tail lights work, the signals work, the brake lights work, the fog lamps work and the high beams work, the gas gauge has seemed to quit working. This car is a blast to drive and is very unique compared to other early under-powered Porsches' out there. It is a sleeper, no one will have any idea there is a V8 in there until you step on the gas. The interior seats are now Recaros and are a fantastic upgrade to the originals. The back seats are original to the car and are perfect. The carpet is in great shape and clean. The cell phone from the 1980's is included with the car and a great conversation piece! This is your chance to get not only own a unique Porsche, but a CLASSIC Porsche at the same time! A Porsche that you could use everyday if you wanted to or weekend cruises!

Porsche undecided on new 911 GT2 [w/poll]
Thu, 23 Jan 2014Fans of hardcore 911s had it pretty good with the last 997 generation. There was the GT3, GT3 RS, GT3 RS 4.0, GT2 and GT2 RS (pictured above). Each one was faster, more powerful and more expensive than the one below it, but what they all shared was what Porsche purists love most: rear engine, rear drive, a manual transmission and little else.
So far with the new 991, Porsche has only released a GT3 version. Sure, there have been other models, but they're all decidedly more luxurious and less performance-focused. And as impressive a machine as the new GT3 is, it has run the risk of alienating some of its most ardent fanatics with technological interference in the form of a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and four-wheel steering. So what those purists have really been looking forward to is a more hardcore GT3 RS or new GT2. But those may not be coming so quickly.
Speaking with 911 project chief August Achleitner, Car and Driver reports that a new GT2 is anything but a foregone conclusion. The reasons may be partially political, but could be technical in nature as well: with 560 horsepower driving all four wheels, the new 911 Turbo S runs the 0-60 in less than three seconds. Give it more power but less traction, as Porsche has done with past GT2s, and you may not end up seeing an actual improvement in performance. A GT2 that's slower than the Turbo S would be difficult to explain.
Man arrested for stealing part of Paul Walker Porsche wreck
Fri, 06 Dec 2013Humans are odd creatures. Some of us collect things associated with bad events, particularly when it comes to cars. Your author, for example, has the grille of his wrecked 2004 Mini Cooper S hanging on the wall. As a more extreme example, an 18-year-old Californian is in trouble with the LA police, but not for taking an item from his own car accident. Instead, he has been arrested for stealing from the wreck of the Porsche Carrera GT that killed actor Paul Walker and racer Roger Rodas.
And it wasn't a small piece, either. It was the Carrera GT's carbon-fiber roof panel. Making matters worse is word that the theft happened while the tow truck that was hauling the wrecked Porsche was sitting in traffic. According to the LA Sheriff's Department report, "A witness saw a male exit a vehicle that was following the tow truck. The male grabbed a piece of the wrecked Porsche off the tow truck bed." Besides the eyewitnesses, it didn't help that images of the roof panel were later posted on Instagram.
The man, Jameson Witty, was later arrested at his home, where police also found the roof panel. The driver of the car Witty was in when he took the roof panel, meanwhile, is planning on surrendering to the police, according to CNN. It remains unclear if the district attorney's office will charge the two, although if it does, they'll be facing felony grand theft and tampering with evidence.
Porsche has doubled US sales to women [w/videos]
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Porsche is having a good sales year in the US, with 25,129 vehicles delivered year-to-date coming off the automaker's best July sales ever. That's a 31-percent increase over the same period last year (19,253 deliveries). With year-to-date Panamera sales a surprising 36 percent lower than last year, what possibly could be driving Porsche's sales surge? If you answered Cayman and Boxster sales, you're right. But dealerships are noticing another factor: more women are coming in to buy Porsches, CNBC reports, the bulk of whom picked up new Cayenne SUVs. The German automaker's sales to women in the US have more than doubled in the past two years, increasing from 7 percent to 15 percent. This has helped year-to-date Cayenne sales reach 11,082 - 31 percent higher than the same time last year.
Porsche executives have been trying to tap into the women's market, as evidenced in part by the company's move to pick professional tennis player Maria Sharapova as a brand ambassador. Porsche maintains it has not moved to dramatically change its brand image, but it has shown a number of ads in recent years that uncharacteristically emphasize its vehicles' practicality under the "Engineered for Magic. Everyday" banner - some featuring female drivers.
Be sure to watch CNBC's video report on Porsche's female movement below - you'll also find one of the aforementioned Engineered For Magic ads as well as an interesting case study video on the campaign from ad agency Cramer-Krasselt.
