Here’s a chance to own a unique 4 cylinder racer, with some cool history, for probably less than the cost of an engine rebuild on most V8’s. This Fiat Abarth ran the 2007 La Carrera Panamericana in Mexico, starting dead last but finishing in the top 50. Could be a hoot, currently on EBay with Reserve-Not-Met at $7,600. …Read More »

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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »

We have no clue when the first Porsche was painted bright green but we know whoever decided on that color scheme started a trend. If we had to propose a theory we’d bet that with the wide rear fenders (hips), low front nose and headlights sticking out like eyes, he wanted his car to look like a frog. Maybe it was Kermit The Frog, maybe not… but lets face it, you don’t see any Ferrari’s or Corvette’s in this color. The guys over at Teamspeed claim there have been 63 different shades of Porsche green, they have pictures of most. Regardless of color, this car looks to be pretty straight and may be a good deal with an asking price of $25,000, keep reading to find out all the upgrades. …Read More »

We’ve always loved the look of Porsche IROC cars and this one’s no different. The nice thing about this particular 911 IROC tribute is that it’s not a fully stripped racecar like we often see, this one’s got a CD player, A/C that works and all those other creature comforts that make for a nice, streetable car. The seller set this car up to look like a racer but be versatile enough to drive daily. We like the attention to detail in the front and rear fiberglass bumpers and how he integrated the proper looking lighting, center-exit exhaust and duck tail spoiler on the car. Someone obviously put a lot of time, effort and money into this 911 and although it’s priced higher than most, at $33,500, we doubt you could replicate it for anything near that number. …Read More »

Looking to run the Carrera Panamericana and on a budget? This Ford Falcon could be your affordable ticket. Don’t know what the Carrera Panamerica is but you’re a racer guy or at least someone who’s looking to race a vintage car? What you need to know is that it’s the last open, top-speed road race of its kind in the world. Seven days of flat out racing on closed public roads running 2,000 miles through Mexico north to the Texas border. It is a revival of the famous international Pan Am that was conducted between 1950-1954, a great tribute to a historic event. …Read More »
