The Porsche 928 was released into the wild in 1977 as the presumed replacement for the aging 911, but the complex mechanical design and less than thrilling driving experience meant it played second fiddle to the tail happy OG Porsche. Today, prices for the 928 haven’t appreciated nearly in the same psychotic manner as the […]
I’ve been a serious skeptic of craigslist adverts for as long as I can remember, but craigslist started charging $5 to list a car, which isn’t a ton of money, but certainly weeds out the scammers who post a million underpriced cars each day AND the idiots who post their car for some obscene price […]
Have you ever wanted to build a flat-12 engine by bolting two standard production flat-6s together into one Frankenstein’s monster-12? Yeah…me too! Been on my bucket list for a while, right behind building a street legal Tyrell P34 six wheeler replica…but someone actually got his two subaru EZ30 flat-6s and bolted them together to make […]
This next car comes as a seller submission from DT regular Michael who writes: My son is selling his 1985.5 Porsche 944. This car has a sunroof, extra snow tires, original wheels, and of course the Fun Pedal. This is a wonderful driver’s car in reasonably good condition inside and out. Before we purchased the car […]
The Porsche 928 was introduced to the world in 1978 as the shape of things to come for Porsche. The sleek-in-the-front and bulbous-in-the-rear design was penned by Wolfgang Möbius and was one of the first cars to offer a polyurethane front bumper that survived the USA 5 mph impact requirements introduced in the mid 1970s. […]
The Porsche 911 is an iconic classic imbued with a finely tuned suspension, classically understated good looks and raucous sounding rear mounted flat-6 engines – a combination that is seldom imitated. The 996 was a 911 that was faster, more comfortable, and better than the previous generation, but of course the purists and naysayers complained […]
We listed a Porsche 914 the other day and it generated to some discussion around these being a decent drive for the asking price…but the 1.7 liter engine isn’t the favorite and most would prefer an upgrade to the 2.0. Naturally, we were thrilled when tipper Rod sent us in this next car, which does […]
The Porsche 914 was originally conceived as a dual purpose range topping Volkswagen and low-end Porsche, to replace the Karmann-Ghia and 912, respectively. The initial plan of marketing the 6-cylinder version as Porsche and the 4-cylinder as Volkswagen was eventually canned and lowly 4-banger version got a Porsche crest too — and today, the easiest […]
The Porsche 944 was another chapter in the watercooled front engine Porsche sport coupe saga that started in the late 1970s with the 928…but the 944 is in essence a beefed up replacement for the 924. The 944 is actually one of the better cars of the 924/944/968 extended family to pick up from a […]
When Porsche released its mid-engine Boxster in 1997, it wasn’t just the first roadster to be designed since the original 550 Spyder, but it was also the first mid-engine Porsche to hit the road after the Porsche 914, which was really a Volkswagen project if you believe the web. Anyway, if you wanted a hardtop […]
