This vehicle is in great overall condition.  I am active duty military and during the past year I was deployed to Afghanistan.  For that reason, the car was sitting in storage and required a lot of work to get it back into top mechanical condition.  The work was done by the best European auto specialist in El Paso, and it now runs, drives, and handles like a true sports car.  Included is a photo of the invoice that lists everything that was replaced which totaled $2850.  I also had the whole exterior re-painted and polished in its original, gorgeous pearl-white color (another $1300), so there is not one dent or scratch on the exterior of the vehicle.  The only parts of the body that were not painted were the inner door jams, so you will see marks and scratches on them when the doors are open.  The wheels were re-painted as well to make them look great and really stand out against the pearl white body.  The A/C blows really cold, and the windshield wipers were just replaced.  New tires were put on a couple years ago, but due to the car being in storage, they have less than 500 miles worth of use. I also got started on a custom black and white interior a couple years ago to make the inside match the outside of the vehicle.  As you can see from the photos, the seats, door panels, and some pieces on the center console were re-covered and the roll bars and gear shift knob were painted.  I intended to use the money I saved from my deployment to make this a car-show quality vehicle, but unfortunately some personal and financial circumstances have just come up and I cannot afford to finish or keep the car.  With that being said, there are still quite a few blemishes on the interior.  The carpet on the floor of the driver side is a little worn and starting to come apart by the fuse box (shown in photo).  I purchased some $130 custom-made floor mats to cover the wear and make the floors look great.  You can see a bit of wear from rubbing against the roll bar and a scratch on the back of the passenger seat.  Also a small blue mark in the white part of the driver seat.  The center console shows some wear and tear around the ash tray and the hand-brake lever has a crack and also shows some wear.  The steering wheel has been re-wrapped, but you can still see a little bit of wear and pitting.  There is a very small blemish in the white leather on the driver-side door handle.  The passenger seat is missing a plastic cover plate, but is really only noticeable if the passenger door is open.  The convertible-top window is a bit cloudy.  You can see when you look out the back, but the images will appear somewhat blurry (photo is provided so you can get an idea of how cloudy it is).  There is a scratch in the tint on the passenger door window (cannot be seen in photos). The convertible top operates just fine, but the light on the dash stays on when the top is closed.  Once you put the top down, the light goes off.  Also the air bag warning light stays on. Finally, the horn and alarm are not working.  I tried replacing the fuse, but they still didn't work.  Those are all the faults that I am aware of.  It sounds like a lot of faults, but they are mostly small, cosmetic blemishes and all in the interior.  I just want to make sure that I am disclosing every flaw to the best of my knowledge, and I have tried to include good pics of all blemishes that would show up well in photos.  The Experian report shows a clean vehicle history with no past problems.  The mileage is a little higher than a lot of other Boxsters, but is still pretty good for a vehicle of this age.  I paid off the bank loan last month and have the clear Texas title in my possession.  It just passed the Texas state emissions inspection as well. Included with the purchase of the car, are the books you see in the photo and the custom Euro-style license plate with mounting frame.  If you would like, I can also throw in a brake calipers paint kit.  I purchased the kit, but never actually got around to painting the calipers. The paint is white and it includes a set of black Porsche logo stickers.  There is no reserve, but I am starting the bidding at the lowest price that I can accept.  Over the past two months, I have put thousands into paying off and fixing up this car, but as mentioned earlier, I am now forced to sell it as is.  It's very close to being 100% complete and car show ready.  If you purchase this vehicle, you would be helping a veteran out greatly.  I prefer that payment be made by bank wire transfer from a US financial institution, but I will also accept a cashier's check from a US financial institution.  Payment must be received within seven days of the auction's close.  If you do the bank wire, I will cover the cost of the transfer by reducing the final sale price by $25.  Pick up or shipping needs to be arranged by the buyer.  I will answer any of your questions to the best of my ability and as quickly as possible.  Thank you for viewing.

2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed statue unveiled

Thu, 11 Jul 2013

Each year at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, a single marque is celebrated with a large and ornate "Central Feature" sculpture, with recent automakers including Audi in 2009, Alfa Romeo in 2010, Jaguar in 2011 and Lotus last year. This year, Porsche gets the honor, and it is using the opportunity to commemorate 50 years of the 911.
The sculpture features three generations of the 911 towering over the Goodwood House. The most recent 991 911 has the lowest position, with an original 1963 car second highest and a 1973 2.7 RS at the top of the pile. Be sure to check out the sculpture for yourself in the gallery of images above.

Audi outlasts rivals to win 13th Le Mans title

Sun, 15 Jun 2014

As is so often the case, the 2014 Le Mans was a war of attrition, and Audi managed to prevail once again after all 24 hours had been recorded in the history books, with its Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro claiming first and second places, followed by Toyota in third. Drivers Marcel Fassler, Andre Lotterer and Benoit Treluyer inherited the lead in their No. 2 Audi after the No. 7 Toyota, driven by pole-sitter Kazuki Nakajima, was forced to retire with electrical problems in the 15th hour.
The No. 2 Audi led the race until it was forced to the pits to replace a turbocharger in the 17th hour, allowing the No. 1 Audi, driven by Lucas di Grassi, Marc Gene (who was a last-minute replacement for Loic Duval, who crashed hard during practice) and defending champion Tom Kristensen, led the race until the 21st hour, when it too had to pit with turbocharger issues. This gave the No. 20 Porsche of Timo Bernhard, Brendon Hartley, and Mark Webber the lead until it was forced off the track with gearbox problems, eventually finishing in 38th position.
In LMP2, the Jota Sport Zytek Z11SN-Nissan driven by Simon Dolan, Harry Tincknell and Oliver Turvey claimed victory, the first five LMP2 finishers all powered by Nissan. Down a level in GTE-Pro, No. 51 AF Corse Ferrari 458 Italia GT2 driven by Gianmaria Bruni, Toni Vilander and Giancarlo Fisichella finished one lap ahead of the leading Corvette Racing C7.R. And finally, the No. 95 Aston Martin Racing Vantage GTE driven by Kristian Poulsen, David HeinemeierHansson and Nicki Thiim won the GTE-Am race two laps ahead of a Proton Porsche 911 GT3 RSR.

Porsche 991 vs. 930 Flatnose in 911 Turbo convertible faceoff

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

The Porsche 911 Turbo has a legacy of being a tough car to drive. With a ton of power set right over the rear wheels, its reputation is to lose control as soon as the driver stops concentrating. However, this isn't quite so true anymore. The modern ones are tamed through technology with things like hydraulically controlled engine mounts, not to mention all-wheel drive. In its latest video, Autocar tries to decide whether 25 years of progress really makes the turbo a better vehicle.
It's summer, so what better version to compare than the 911 Turbo Cabriolet? In one corner, Autocar has the latest and greatest 2014 version pumping out 513 horsepower and 486 pound-feet of torque with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Its challenger is a 1989 911 flatnose convertible sporting 326 hp and 347 lb-ft of torque. It's a truly rare car in the UK with only eight of them remaining on the roads in that region.
Granted, this test isn't so much a battle as it is a comparison. There's no question that the modern 911 would beat the classic in practically every objective category. What the video aims to find out is whether the flatnose is better in subjective measurements like its "feel." Scroll down to watch these two droptop Porsches square off.
