This is a one owner, numbers matching 911T, complete and very original, needing restoration. The car has been off the road since 1985, mostly stored in a barn up until a few years ago. The body retains its original Albert Blue paint- with the passenger door and front fender, and hood having been replaced and had some work done- according to the owner. The passenger fender does appear to have been replaced, as well as the passenger door skin- perhaps the hood too- none of these panels appear to have any filler. The upper part of the body has rust, needing restoration, but has many solid aspects- please see images. The undercarriage is in need of complete restoration- floors, rocker panels etc. Torsion bar ok with some surface rust- area just below support needs work. Back seat areas, shock mounts are good. Front pan needs to be replaced.
Bright work/chrome is near excellent- headlight trim rings, door handles have mirror finish. Does not appear to have any missing exterior trim pieces.
The car has 98,644 original miles. The original owner took very good care of it up until taking it off the road in 1985- always dealer serviced. The engine has never been rebuilt and does not seem to turn over by hand- will likely need re-build. The original Zenith carburetors seem to be in remarkable condition, given amount of time sitting- linkage(ball and sockets tight- very little wear) and butterflies operable. Engine bay still has the original plastic cover for electronics on driver's side and original sound dampening material.
The interior, while needing new carpets, is in remarkable condition given the age. There are no tears or wear in the vinyl components. There are a couple of cracks along the dash top. The original leather seats are almost perfect except for a small hole in the driver's seat bottom. The door panels are good, - the hinged pocket on the driver's door is removed and intact. Back seats still have leather snap straps intact.
The original matching 5 1/2 X 14 fuchs wheels are in excellent condition- no road rash- aluminum still has a glow to finish.
The original owners manual(with red Porsche vinyl cover), maintenance book, blaupunkt owners manual and original 3 sets of keys(2 almost new condition), key code card, jack, and spare tire/rim are included.

Porsche teams with Delta airlines to woo VIP passengers
Sun, 15 Sep 2013The next time you're waiting for a flight at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, see if you can spot a Porsche Cayenne or Panamera zipping between aircraft on the busy tarmac. The high-performance German vehicles aren't there practicing for an upcoming autocross; they are tasked with whisking some of the airline's most important customers between flights so they can keep their busy schedules intact.
Launched nearly two years ago, the program has proven popular with the automaker, airline and passengers as all benefit from the unique arrangement. Atlanta-based Porsche is able to showcase its cars to Delta's frequent-flying Medallion members, the airline is recognized for providing unusual perks to its high-value customers and those fortunate enough to be surprised with a quick lift are able to make connections without a stressful run through the terminal. Based on its success, the airline is rolling our similar programs in New York, Los Angeles and Minneapolis this month.
And don't think Porsche is the only automaker working with an airline to entice its frequent flyers. Mercedes-Benz ran a program over the summer that offered purchasing and leasing incentives to MileagePlus Premier members of United Airlines, and the two are currently shuttling top fliers around Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport in the automaker's S-Class and GL-Class models.
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.
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.
