1978 Porsche 924 Track Car. This car is track ready, tech inspected and recently ran at Brainerd,MN International Raceway. Built by Bill Katz (Katz Klassics) in the mid 90s near Pittsburgh. Bill is known for his work on European cars and built this car for his wife to drive at the track. Built with many upgrades to engine, transmission and suspension. I visited with Bill about the car before I bought it and he said he built it with the "best of the best". Procar by Scat race seat and race alignment/setup make for a fun car to get into track time at BIR. It's also street legal. Bottom line is that this car was built by an expert and is fun to drive at the track. I have five new RARE 14 inch Hoosier race tires and five Porsche rims worth well over $1,500 that I am willing to include. Purchased the car last summer and went through the brake system, new inner wheel and outer wheel bearings and a new strut to replace one that was leaking. This car had no problem passing track tech inspection. I visited with Bill regarding what he put into the car, he recently told me: Turbo fuel pump, Audi 5cy trubo fuel pressure valve regulator, throttle body was ported out, adjustable cam gear, Ansa exhaust system off turbo model. He also lowered the car with a spring kit. Other details I know about the car: 2.0 single overhead cam, long tume headers, Wiseco Pistons 0.50 over, 79 transmission for shorter gear ratio, KYB shocks, Procar by Scat Race seat, 5 point harness and OEM 3 point on driver and passenger sides (for ride a longs), MSD wires and Coil, Motor painted to match the color of car, very little rust - was stored most of its life, BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires - same tire Bill put on in the 90s. Plenty of tread for cruising the town, Roll Cage, Working turning signals, lights and brake lights. (Note: headlights must be turned up manually and the windshield wipers don't work) I didn't fix either because I didn't need either to run at track. Really looking forward to driving this car this fall but need to sell. Great opportunity to get into a track car for very little money. Please email me with any questions. Thanks for looking. |

Porsche Cayenne, Panamera production halted by flooding
Thu, 06 Jun 2013If you recently ordered a Porsche Cayenne or a Panamera, delivery may take a little longer than originally expected. Automotive News reports that production of both models has been temporarily halted at the Porsche assembly plant in Leipzig, Germany as the result of supply shortages caused by flooding in the nearby Czech Republic. The reason for the stoppage is that the body of the Cayenne - currently Porsche's best-selling model - is produced at a Volkswagen plant in the Czech city of Bratislava and shipped by train to Leipzig.
The report does not indicate why Panamera production has been stopped - that the five-door's body is made at a separate location in Hanover, Germany. However pre-assembly will continue on these models. At full capacity, the Leipzig plant can produce about 450 vehicles per day, and it isn't clear how long this weather-related stoppage will last.
Porsche revisits the 911's dirty side with rally history film
Fri, 03 Jan 2014It might not be a coincidence that there are rumors of Porsche revealing a safari version of the 911 at April's Beijing Motor Show, just as the Dakar Rally is about to begin. Adding fuel to the dusty desert fire is a just-released official video of Jeff Zwart driving the Porsche 953 that Jacky Ickx drove to victory in the 1984 edition of the race.
In the video, the seven-time Pikes Peak International Hill Climb winner talks about how he grew up with the 911; it wasn't only the car he learned to drive in, it was his choice of racecar no matter whether the course was tarmac or the dirty stuff.
You can decide for yourself if these recent events are mere coincidence while you enjoy the 953's exhaust note in the video below. If you've got the time to see the 953 during its race-conquering drive and find out what the ersatz Paris-Dakar Rally used to be, we've also included a broadcast of that 1984 race below as well. Fast-forward to 19:44 to see the Porsches cross the open dessert and 29:09 to watch one of them tackle the dunes.
Porsche Macan to get four-cylinder engines
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Porsche hasn't offered a four-cylinder engine since the 968 went out of production in 1995 - the better part of two decades ago. There'd been talk of a four-pot Boxster or an even smaller model to slot in below it, but while the latest intel indicates that Porsche is moving ahead with its four-cylinder plans, it's a different kind of vehicle that will get it first.
That, of course, would be the new Macan. Just revealed a few weeks ago at the LA Auto Show, the Macan crossover is being launched with a pair of twin-turbocharged V6 engines (a 3.0 with 340 horsepower and a 3.6 with 400 hp) and a six-cylinder turbodiesel with 258 hp. But smaller engines, according to emerging reports from Autocar and Auto Express, are on their way.
Word has it that Porsche is preparing a 2.0-liter turbo four with 280 horsepower and a diesel with the same displacement and cylinder count, engines that will power new entry-level Macan models that will slot in beneath the existing Macan S, Macan S Diesel and Macan Turbo. While the diesel is tipped to be ported over from the Volkswagen parts bin, the four-cylinder gasoline engine is said to be under development by Porsche itself, which could mean it will have a boxer layout.
