FULL DESCRIPTION

This Porsche was originally purchased in California and remained there its entire life until a few years ago when it was moved to North Carolina.  It has always been garaged mostly under a car cover and has never been left outside.  My father was the second owner of the car.  There has only been one prior family that owned it, and they purchased it new.

The car has never been in any accident or fender bender, and it is still in the original factory paint and has completely original factory interiors (upholstery, carpets, etc.).  There are pads down over the front carpets to keep them clean.  The entire interior of the car is original, and there have been no modifications whatsoever aside from the addition of seat belts in the front to comply with California law.

The car still has the original black-and-yellow California plates, and the title is clear.

The car has not run since about 1982.  Although the car does not run, it should be an easy fix for someone who wants a restoration project.  While photographing the car for this auction, I tried to back it out of the storage unit to get additional photos, but the car does not roll.  Not sure why.

The original rearview mirror was replaced at some point, but I still have the original factory-installed one that came with the car if you want to replace the newer one.

The gas tank has been removed but is still present.  It does have a small easily fixable pinhole leak.

Comes with a recent Certificate of Authenticity from Porsche USA.


Also included in the auction are the following items:

Original can of touch-up paint (which is still liquid)
Original maintenance records from September, 1976, through March, 1980
Headlight screen covers to prevent damage from road debris
Lots of spare parts
Receipts for many parts purchased over thirty years ago
See photos for more items.


Of course, if you have any questions or need a photo of a particular spot on the car, let me know.

Payment:  A $1,000 non-refundable deposit is required within 24 hours of the auction’s end.

The balance can be paid by cash, certified check, or wire transfer.

The car is sold “as is, where is” with no warranties or guarantees of any type either expressed or implied.

1949 Gm?nd Porsche shows the birth of an icon

Fri, 21 Mar 2014

The Austrian village of Gmünd is more than just difficult to pronounce; it's also the birthplace of the Porsche brand. Before the company ever started building sports cars at its current home base near Stuttgart, the fledgling business completed several vehicles in the tiny town in Southern Austria. In this video, former Pikes Peak International Hill Climb champion Jeff Zwart takes a look at a 1949 Gmünd coupe to see how the company has evolved since its earliest days.
The thing to note about the Gmünd-built Porsches is their absolute design simplicity. The phrase "form follows function" gets bandied around a lot, but it really means something when you look at these early cars. However, the minimalism was partially out of necessity. The vehicles were meant to be sporty but certainly weren't rockets. Power came courtesy of a modified Volkswagen Beetle engine, and anything extraneous would have slowed the models down. Scroll down to watch Zwart go back in time to Porsche's beginnings.

Porsche 911 with VW turbodiesel prepares for LeMons assault

Fri, 21 Mar 2014

LeMons racing is a wonderful example that setting limits can actually breed creativity. The series mandates that all entries must cost $500, not counting safety equipment, and that cap forces teams to be ingenious in how they build a racecar. Take for example this diesel-powered Porsche 911, which its creators have dubbed Ferkel the Nein-11, that will be racing in the Sears Pointless race this weekend in Sonoma, California.
This Frankenstein combines a 911 chassis that was originally bought just for its European powertrain and a Volkswagen TDI diesel engine mounted in the rear. After deciding the shell could still be of some use, the team decided to go racing. "We began brainstorming what replacement drivetrain to use for maximum offense and there was really only one answer: a diesel," said Philipp von Weitershausen, one of the team captains, to Jalopnik. They bought a 1998 Jetta TDI on the cheap and started figuring out a way to hack the engine into the bay. To pay respect to the donor, the VW's trunk was highly modified (and drilled) and grafted onto the back of Ferkel.
This team isn't a newcomer to LeMons. Its last car was a classic VW Beetle with a Subaru engine and dual controls, named Ferdinand the Bug, which could be driven from the left or right side. It's quite a sight.

Porsche boss admits Panamera's style is offputting

Sat, 11 Oct 2014



"There have been some small mistakes and we will do it better. For example the design could be better." - Matthias Mueller.
The design of the Porsche Panamera has been divisive, to say the least. Pretty much any Porsche with four doors was going to draw the ire of enthusiasts, but the fast-back-style roofline, prominent curves and seemingly never-ending hood have particularly irked some brand loyalists.
