Kremer Racing built some of the fastest Porsche 935’s in existence, as proven by their win at the 1979 running of Le Mans. This car isn’t one of them, it’s a replica, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t cool. With Real K3’s asking $850,000, this car seem like quite the deal, at only $85,000. …Read More »

Ready For Any Event: 1999 Porsche 996 GT3 Cup with GT3R Kit

Porsche 996 GT3 Cup GT3R RF

Porsche 911’s in just about any varietal, have been good on the track. They’re without a doubt the winning-est model ever made, which is why if you’re looking to get a track car, you should look at a 911. This particular version was built from a 1999 GT3 Cup car, which is nice, because it’s come from the factory as a race car. For the most part, t’s got all the GT3R add-ons. This is a car that cost over $100,000 new and we’re sure the owner has put at least 50% more into making it as it appears here, he’s asking $60,000. …Read More »

Brown Bathtub: 1965 Porsche 356

1965 Porsche 356 Brown RF

We’ve got another solid looking driver to post up in this 1965 Porsche 356. We’d never buy a brown car, except for this one, because it looks so damn welcoming. Think about it, the dust and dirt will actually blend in, meaning you can drive it everyday and not have to wash it, ever! Bidding is up to $20,000 with Reserve Not Met, we suspect this could be a good deal in the end. …Read More »

Owner Wants It Gone: 1979 Porsche 911SC

1979 Silver SC LS This is one of the cheapest “whole” and running 911SC’s we’ve seen. Coupes are more desirable than targa’s and typically bring more money, which is good if you’re looking to buy one. We’ll spare you a ton of details, the bottom line is that the owner wants this car gone before the holidays, he’s asking $9,000 but we’re sure he’ll go lower. Could be a great opportunity for someone who can meet him in person with cash. …Read More »

Deceivingly Stock Looking: 1987 Porsche Cabriolet with 70K Miles

1987 Porsche Cab 70K RS

The 1987-1989 Porsche Carrera’s are arguably the most desirable 911’s to true Porsche enthusiasts. At this point in history, they were each hand-built, still air-cooled and in 87 Porsche switched to the reliable G-50 transmission for the last three years of production. Additionally, this particular car had a 280hp engine rebuild and new clutch installed at 57K, plus a bunch of other modifications, while keeping a stock appearance. We think this car is a great deal at $23,500. …Read More »

Daytona 24hr Winner and Le Mans History: 1990 Porsche 964 Carrera Cup

1990 Carrera Cup Daytona Winner LR

We know what you’re thinking, this 911 doesn’t look like anything too great. You’re right, cosmetically it’s not perfect, however it’s got a really cool history. It started off as a Carrera Cup car, of which we understand Porsche only built 25. It was then commissioned to race in the 1993 Daytona 24 hours, driven by Enzo Calderari to a class win. Then it was driven by Lilian Bryner at places like the 24 hours of Le Mans, Spa and Sebring. All of this history, for $39,000. …Read More »

Excellence Magazine Cover Car: 2006 Porsche Carrera S

excellencecover

We know, lots of Porsche’s lately, but this ‘06 C2S was the April 2009 Excellence Magazine cover car! Besides that, the seller claims he’s got well over $100,000 in receipts, on top of the sticker price of $94,675. It’s a one owner, who’s straight forward that it’s been tracked but that wouldn’t bother us. He claims it’s “story-free,” making it even more appealling, especially since it’s priced in the $60’s. …Read More »

Track Car, Daily Driver, or In-Between: 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera

RF

Finding a car you can drive to work and run on the track is pretty tough although we believe you can do it with this ‘85 Porsche 911. You won’t be able to take the whole family to the movies in it, nor will you run circles around every car on the race course, but living with and enjoying a dual purpose vehicle is entirely possible. This Carrera will be great for someone who can’t have a dedicated track car, for whatever reason, and doesn’t want to spend a ton of money up front. It’s bid up to $17,600 with reserve not met on EBay — we’re sure the parts and recent labor cost in that neighborhood. …Read More »

Purists Beware: 1976 Porsche 911S “Spyder”

LS

Die-hard Porschephiles if you’re looking for factory original, don’t waste your time. This 911 is seriously hot rodded and is not for the faint of heart; probably the most interesting thing is the weight. The seller claims 1740lbs, wet. That number makes a Lotus Elise look heavy and a new 997 911 more like a school bus. The seller claims he’s got over 3 years into the restoration and customization of this 911 and we don’t doubt him, but cars like these rarely fetch a sum anywhere near what they cost to build. It takes a must-have buyer to pay up for this car, right now it’s on EBay at $48,000 with the Reserve not Met; even at that price it would still take a pretty motivated buyer. …Read More »
