Sold Truck, New Owner Promptly Blows The Motor, Calls Me To Complain
A few years ago I sold a car for a friend on Ebay. It was of mid-80's vintage and was a nice 2nd owner Porsche 911 that had some rare options. I listed it with a ton of pictures and I stated in the ad that I would recommend a pre-purchase inspection because it was not my car and I couldn't vouch for everything about it. I had a bidder beg me to end the auction early for him and made me a fair offer. I asked if he wanted me to take it to a Porsche dealer to be inspected at his expense before he sent a transporter up to take it to Florida. He declined and wanted to get the deal closed as soon as possible. He wired the funds to my bank and sent a transporter to pick it up. After many threats of legal action due to things that his "mechanic" found to be wrong with the car I told him to pound sand. 20,000 higher. The description called the car "The finest example of a "1 owner" Porsche 911 that he has ever come across".

How I found it and how actualy is right now. We are talking about 20 years of racing history for Porsche in GT and it seems to me as some kind of heritage for the passionnates we are here. I am the proud owner of 2 of these dream machines, and will send you some updates for the registry. Even, if, due to some health troubles, I have to let them go, they remain incredible witnesses of what passion can achieve ! All the best, Steve. Hi, I鈥檝e been trying to track down the history on my car but the VIN seems odd relative to all the other 鈥?7 Cups I鈥檝e found listed anywhere. Yup, thats who I bought it from. Dont know who had it prior to them. Marketplace Parts Marketplace Vehicle Marketplace Vendor Announcements Rennnlist Help and Announcement Forums Rennlist Forum Glitches - post them here.

Should I buy one? A planned production run of 1948 examples is a bit healthy for a limited-edition Porsche, but even so, each Speedster will cost 拢211,599, rising to around 拢226,000 if you option the Heritage Design Pack. Ah yes, the Heritage Design Pack, which costs 拢15,300. I鈥檇 leave the 1950s-inspired decals well alone but take the tan leather bucket seats, gold details and various historic Porsche crests. Absolutely not, but with GT Silver paint, the overall effect is pretty marvellous. Were it still possible to buy a basic GT3 for roughly 拢100,000 less, at this point you might question the value of the Speedster. But you can鈥檛 buy a basic GT3, and in any case, the car that forms the basis for the Speedster was always heroically good value next to the opposition. This latest ware is every bit as spectacular to drive as it is to look at, too, and depreciation? Please. No new car is entirely immune to the risk of depreciation, but a limited-edition GT Porsche is as close as it gets.
This 1981 Porsche 911 Turbo race car is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.4L flat-six and sends a reported 715 horsepower through a custom 4-speed manual transaxle equipped with a limited-slip differential. The car was originally built at 911 Design in 2001 and wears 993-style fiberglass bodywork over a partial tube frame. The car is equipped with Triple-adjustable JRZ coilovers and Brembo brakes from the 996 RSR at all four corners. A 935-style suspension was modified by 911 Design and fitted in conjunction with the coilovers. The wide bodywork has been modified to fit up to 14鈥?wide wheels. The stripped, purpose-built interior is fitted with a Kirkey racing seat Sparco 6-point harness and a fire suppression system. A Tilton pedal set and brake bias adjuster are fitted along with a 3-spoke Sparco steering wheel. Data logging and communications are done with a Zeitronix Black Box and a Digital Silver Long Track radio system. The carbon fiber dash features a circuit breaker panel and a combination of stock and added instruments, including Zeitronix air/fuel ratio, Andial digital intake temperature, and an HKS boost controller. The twin-turbocharged 3.4L flat-six was built by Knightrace Porsche in 2016 and has only seen four hours on the track since. The Electromotive Tech 3 Pro engine management system controls the reported 715 horsepower at 1.4 bar by use of Turbonetics ceramic turbochargers (rebuilt June 2016) and HKS electronic waste gates. A 930 short-bell housing 4-speed manual transaxle has been built with four custom Guard lightweight gears with 935 dog teeth and a Guard progressive limited-slip differential. A 930 flywheel mates to a 935 clutch with a Kennedy Performance Stage 2 pressure plate. The package is controlled with a 935 shift kit and cooled with a Tilton transmission oil-cooling system.
