1986 - Porsche 911 on 2040-cars
Elk Park, North Carolina, United States
Having been around 911's for 30 years, be assured that this is a great survivor example with which I am truly sad to see go. First off here are the items that may need attention depending on how important they are to you. I have fixed or serviced the things that were important for me. The AC doesn't blow cold. Normally these cars had an AC unit that felt like a small dog panting or your leg so unless you live in the far south or want a mechanically perfect car then this may not be an issue for you. I do not know if it just needs a charge or if the system needs to be replaced. If it were me and I wanted AC in this car then I would pull this OEM unit out and instal one of the new upgraded models such as the Rennaire unit [as with any 911 of this generation]. The is a spot under the license tag area where at some point a previous owner has run over something that has curled the rear valance back just a bit [maybe a half inch]. It doesn't bother me so I haven't ever addressed it but I'd think it would be fairly easy to curl back with a bit of effort. It wouldn't be perfect without taking it to a shop but you could get it pretty close. You would want to be careful not to bend in such a way that the paint would peel/chip/flake at the edge. There is a picture that shows what I am describing. FYI you won't see it unless you look right at it.... it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. There are a few small leaks around the front and rear corners of both the driver and passenger window. I have installed a new Targa Top and because of that, I am getting these few small leaks. The top itself needs to be adjusted [the side seals]...which should fix the leak. The front windshield seal has been replaced. The rear still seams to be in good shape. I rarely drive it in the rain so this has never been a priority for me. Actually the top usually stays off of it.... Services in the last 5,000 miles: Full front brake job including the addition of cross drilled front rotors New Front Left Right Brake Calipers/sensors/pads/hoses Valve Adjustment New Plugs New Distributor Cap New Ignition Rotor New Valve Cover Gasket Set New Air Filter New Belt New Battery New Clutch Cable New Boston Acoustic Speakers New Shift Bushing Set [not installed but will send with car] New Front Windshield Seal New Targa top [refurbished - it looks amazing] Options that make this car stand out: Turbo Sport Power Seats Steering wheel extender [if you've never driven a 911 with one then you'll wonder why they weren't standard equipment when you drive this one] Adjusted Brake Pedal [lowered to help better facilitate heal & toe - can easily be readjusted with a few simple handtools] Hand Polished/Finished Fuchs Wheels Front and Rear Spoiler [spoilers on a Targa make all the difference]

Former Porsche boss Wiedeking won't face criminal charges over VW bid
Mon, 28 Apr 2014Hedge fund managers have been suing Porsche for years now, alleging that the car company lied about its intentions during its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen, a gambit that caused them billion in losses. Over the same period, authorities in Stuttgart built a criminal case against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above, left) and Chief Financial Officer Holger Härter (right), filing charges in December 2012. When those fund plaintiffs lost their most recent court case, one of the dimming lights in the dark and receding tunnel was that the criminal investigation might unearth more evidence about Porsche's actions that could help the plaintiffs in pending litigation.
Bloomberg reports that another light has gone out, though, with a Stuttgart court dismissing the market manipulation case before going to trial because, as a court spokesperson said, "there wasn't enough evidence backing up the charges." When prosecutors get the files back from the court, they have a week to decide to refile, but unless they've been sandbagging evidence that could bolster the case, the only lights at the end of the tunnel will be those welcoming Wiedeking and Härter back to the world of legally unencumbered men.
Porsche Cayman, Boxster caught in GTS trim
Sat, 18 Jan 2014A few months ago, we reported on some leaked information from an internal presentation for upcoming Porsche models. This included details about the Macan and the 911 Targa, which we now know to be true, but there was also talk about GTS versions of the Cayman and Boxster.
Well, it appears we're now getting our first look at these GTS models, as our spy photographers have just snapped a pair of Porsche prototypes out testing - one Cayman and one Boxster.
Right off the bat, we can see that both GTS-branded cars will get a slightly tweaked exterior with new fascias (bringing LED daytime running lights to the Cayman) and air diffusers at the rear. The true gem of these cars will be the added horsepower to the tune of 340 horsepower - a 15-hp bump. A manual transmission will likely be standard, as will Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM).
There's a Porsche Cayman under here somewhere
Wed, 15 Jan 2014What we have here is the work of Dubai tuner Royal Customs that is controversial even beyond its styling. The Middle East aftermarket house says it spent fourteen months developing a bodykit for the Porsche Cayman, and the results seem to be aimed at those who wish their coupe were a 918 Spyder - the nose, strake-filled and widened rear fender, carbon fiber wing and massive diffuser all cribbing some from Stuttgart's new hybrid supercar.
Even without a buyer, the Alpha One Concept is already controversial. When WorldCarFans posted on the Royal Customs car recently, German tuner Alpha-N Performance wrote in alleging that the Dubai package copies their design from two years ago, which was also called the Alpha One, a design with which it's clear the Dubai Alpha One shares numerous cues. We asked Royal Customs about its relationship to the Alpha One car, we were told, "Yes, there is a lot we can say about the remarkable similarities all of which will be explained by our press release by Mr. Emil from Autogespot. Please wait for the official release and you will have the full exciting story. It's an 'actual success story' and not a 'replication' story."
The response is referring to an "extensive report" on the car coming out of Autogespot. Royal Customs doesn't have the Alpha One Concept on its site yet, so we're still missing quite a few details on it, such as whether the Porsche engine has been given a similarly 918-ish workover. We do know that the company says each car takes 30 days to build and it will only build three of them, which is a number that should satisfy any haters and, even more so, its buyers. You can decide which side of the fence you're on by having a close look at it in the gallery above.
