1969 Porsche 911 on 2040-cars
Miami Beach, Florida, United States
Feel free to ask me any questions about the car : aubreyabbarnell@ukfamilies.com .
1969 Porsche 911E Widebody RSR Tribute. This car was constructed and painted as you see it in the mid 80's.
However, it still was built using the same formulae used to build these RS tribute cars today. Nothing has been
changed on this car or added to this car for the last 20 plus years. Steel Flares on all four corners, later model
higher HP engine, stronger 915 trans, modified front suspension, low stance, racing Webers, roll bar, harnesses,
all done the same as they are being built today. The early style whale-tail spoiler was used instead of the
ducktail to accommodate the A/C condenser.
Engine is a beefed up 1978 3.0SC engine with the 930 case, rebuilt about 30k ago and sporting a safety wired pair
of racing 46IDA Italian Webers that are worth about $4,000 by themselves. Vintage Ansa turbo exhaust gives it a
nice sound without being too loud. Trans is the upgraded stronger 915 5spd with a racing shifter and the front
suspension is from a 1974 911S that does away with the problematic original Boge suspension. Car sits very low
with a mean stance. Wheels are 18x8 and 18x10 HOLLOW Turbo Twists that are worth about $3,500 (check values
online). Tires are older and will need to be replaced but hold air and don’t go flat. I would recommend selling
off the Turbo Twists and going with something more period correct. The car is prepared with the half roll bar, a
200mph speedometer, vintage Pyrotech racing harnesses and late 70’s 911 sport seats.The car has been in storage for over 20 years. All that has been done was fresh fluids, cleaned out fuel system and
it started right up and idles smoothly and revs effortlessly without any noise, knocks, or ticks. There is a very
slight bit of smoke as soon as it starts after it has sat for a week or two but it clears up almost immediately to
zero. Car will need Webers cleaned and rebuilt and a tune up to pull all the power out of it as it still is
running 20 year old cap, points, rotor, plugs and wires. Tires are older and flat spotted from long term storage.
Will need front lower pan as the driver’s side torsion bar mount is weak and some typical floor pan repairs as it
still has its original floor pan. Despite looking great in the photos, the paint is over 30 years old. It is
presentable and carries with it a vintage patina, however, if you want a show car it will need paint. Car still
draws a crowd wherever it is taken and looks impressive in person.
I have the service file from the local performance shop that goes back decades from 40 years of continuous
ownership including the documented engine build 30k miles ago. Also has the Weber tuning manual. Car comes with
about $2,000 in spares and parts including a 1973 Date Coded “Big Tank” B.F. Goodrich space saver spare that
has never been used, an original Porsche tool roll, trim and lots of small new parts and rubber.

Infiniti cribs new US boss from Porsche
Mon, 19 Aug 2013Just weeks before he was supposed to become CEO of Porsche Cars Australia, Infiniti has apparently offered Porsche COO and Executive Vice President Michael Bartsch a deal he couldn't refuse. Thus, Bartsch has join the company as Vice President of Infiniti Americas, the luxury marque's top North American post. Bartsch replaces Ben Poore, who has been with the automaker since 2008, having led both a 22-percent sales surge in 2012 and the brand's current sales slough, Automotive News reports.
Bartsch, Porsche's No. 2 US executive, has held the COO and Executive Vice President positions at Porsche since 2005 and was scheduled to become CEO of Porsche's Oz division on September 1. Infiniti has experienced a number of recent personnel changes in the past week: it named Vincent Gillet, formerly an executive for Starwood Hotels & Resorts, to lead its marketing efforts worldwide and Simon Cox, a former designer for automakers including Ford and Peugeot, to head a new design studio in London.
Poore reportedly will pursue other interests outside of the auto industry. Read more about the personnel change in the press release below.
Porsche planning jacked-up 911 Safari? [w/poll]
Thu, 26 Dec 2013The Porsche 911 may, for some, be the quintessential sportscar. And that typically means keeping it on paved roads and racing circuits. But there's a proud history to taking the Elfen off-road that traces back to specially-prepared 911s (like the one pictured above) which Porsche fielded in rallies in the late '70s and early '80s. And now Porsche is reportedly preparing to tap back into that history with a new off-road 911 model, according to the Auto Bild Motor Revue.
Tipped to be called the 911 Safari, the special variant would be based on the Carrera 4 but upgrade with bigger tires fitted to a beefed-up suspension with higher ground clearance and underbody skid plates. The model is expected to be presented initially as a concept at the Beijing Motor Show next April. But if enough interest is expressed - particularly from buyers in developing markets where the roads might not be as smooth as those to which North American and European drivers have become accustomed - Stuttgart could put it into production in 2016, when the current 991 is expected to get a mid-cycle refresh.

UK Porsche GT3 owners are irked that other countries are getting better deals
Sun, 27 Apr 2014Porsche 911 GT3 owners in the United Kingdom are up in arms, but it's not for the reason you might think. Okay, well it sort of is. See, it's been fairly well documented that 911 GT3 owners have had their cars grounded over concerns that the engines could catch fire. Porsche is rushing to build and install replacement engines in all 800 or so cars, scattered around the globe.
This isn't really the issue. The problem for these British owners is compensation. While the car's have been grounded, car notes still need to be paid. To deal with this, American GT3 owners are being paid $2,000 per month. German owners get 175 euros ($242 at today's rates) per day while a GT3 owner in Dubai is allegedly receiving $12,000 (it's unclear if this is a lump sum or a monthly payment). Basically, if you aren't able to drive your six-figure super car, you shouldn't have to pay for it. Seems reasonable regardless of the make.
British owners, though, aren't being compensated, and for 30 to 35 owners, that's not acceptable. They've banded together and are led by Sunil Mehra.
