DESCRIPTION: 2001 Porsche Boxster Coupe 986. NO RESERVE! Beautiful classic Porsche silver paint with black/dark blue/gray interior and soft top convertible roof. Spring is here and summer is right around the corner-time to put the top down! 5 speed manual transmission. 2.7 liter, 6 cylinders rear wheel drive. 87,XXX miles. Paint job is in great shape with no dents, dings, cracks, etc. Anti-lock braking system. Not an "S" but has sport option: 19 inch premium wheels with electric extendable/retractable spoiler, multi-colored Porsche logo on wheel caps and steering wheel, and Porsche emblem valve caps. Has "PORSCHE" Racing decal on top of windshield which can be easily removed if that's not your thing. This car is located in zip code 76155, Ft. Worth, TX. Comes complete with owner's manual and hardback service book. I will post more pictures this weekend once I get the car washed.

OPERATIONAL: This car runs beautifully! I put a lot of TLC and money into it. On March 30th I drove it from Orlando, FL to Dallas/Ft.Worth straight through (18 hours) without any problems. The car faired better than me! The transmission and clutch shift smoothly. Being a mid-engine car, it's surprisingly silent! It's also very spacious for a 2 seat coupe. Has both front and rear trunk space. Cruise control works flawlessly. All wiper functions operate normally. Gauges and instrument cluster fully operational. A/C blows cold. Power windows, door locks, side mirrors. All exterior and interior lights work. Roof does not leak. The roof raises and lowers fine except as the roof is lowering you have to help the roof into the track with your hand. This is a matter of doing it whilst in the car or out. It may need adjustment. The driver's side door/door jamb squeaks a little bit when going over bumps. I think it may need adjusting or lubrication. Has security system. Comes with remote key and Porsche FOB. You can lock/unlock the car, front trunk, and rear trunk remotely.

INTERIOR: Power steering, leather seats, dual and side airbags, telescoping steering wheel, usual wear and tear, brand new cup holders, JVC AM/FM/CD stereo deck with 1/8th input for your iPod, amplifier installed in front trunk. Carpets in great shape with the Porsche moniker.

HISTORY: I have owned this car since April 10, 2012. It was in great condition when I bought it, but I wanted it better. It has been inspected and checked out by Orlando and Ocala Porsche dealers. I have all the service records and documentation from the time I have owned it. This car was garage kept and was my weekend driver. Fixes and improvements that I have made total over $8,000:

Porsche 911 celebrates 50 years of iconic motoring

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

Back in 1963, Porsche debuted the very first 911 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. And over the last 50 years, that coupe has grown to become one of the most iconic sports cars of all time. That in mind, you could easily chalk up this 50th Anniversary model as just one of the many special edition 911s that have graced our roads over the years, but dig a bit deeper and you'll see that this one is far more than just some unique paint and different wheels.
For starters, the 911 50th Anniversary Edition utilizes the wider Carrera 4/4S body, but retains its standard rear-wheel-drive configuration. Power comes from the Carrera S' 3.8-liter flat-six engine, but features a Powerkit upgrade that includes the Sport Chrono package and ups overall output to 400 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. Hitting 60 miles per hour takes just 3.8 seconds if the car is fitted with Porsche's dual-clutch PDK gearbox, or 4.2 seconds if you choose the row-your-own seven-speed manual. Talk about going Over The Hill with a quickness.
Despite looking pretty tame, we're really hot on the appearance of this special 911, with its throwback flat gray paint job and new 20-inch wheels that look remarkably similar to the original Fuchs alloys of the 1963 model. Inside, you'll find green lettering on the instrument displays, white pointer needles and silver accents, and the leather seats have a fabric insert that's similar to the Pepita cloth from the original 911.

Audi welcomes Porsche back to Le Mans like any sibling would

Fri, 06 Jun 2014

Ah, sibling rivalry. It really is a beautiful thing. It's even more beautiful when said siblings are automakers with very, very well-known racing histories. That's how you get videos like this, which is Audi's way of welcoming Porsche back to the top flight of Le Mans racing.
Yes, Audi has taken its R18 E-Tron Quattro back onto public roads, wowing schoolboys and scaring farmers (who appear to be riding classic Porsche tractors), as it travels from Ingolstadt to Zuffenhausen, just to taunt its corporate frenemy.
Take a look below for a video to see just what that teasing looks like.
