PCA Offers Unique 1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Coupe on Bring A Trailer
A remarkable 1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 coupe, once stored away for nearly a decade, has reemerged and is now offered for auction without reserve through a partnership between the Porsche Club of America (PCA) and a specialty dealership in Arizona.
This striking Guards Red Carrera 4 was generously donated in 2020 to PCA by one of its members. Since acquiring the vehicle, PCA has invested significantly in restoring and upgrading the coupe, creating an appealing blend of classic aesthetics and modern performance enhancements.
At its heart lies Porsche's venerable air-cooled 3.6-liter flat-six engine, factory-rated at 247 horsepower and 228 pound-feet of torque, paired to a five-speed manual transaxle driving all four wheels. Recent mechanical refreshes include fuel-system overhaul, replacement of valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, distributor components, and meticulous valve adjustments. The coupe also features an aftermarket Fabspeed exhaust system, enhancing both performance and sound.
Further performance upgrades include KW V3 coilover suspension, a front strut brace, and upgraded brake components sourced from Porsche 964 Turbo and 993 models, dramatically improving handling and stopping capabilities. Its 18-inch HRE wheels wrapped in performance-oriented Pirelli P Zero tires round out the chassis improvements.
Inside, Recaro Pole Position seats with distinctive patterned inserts have replaced the factory seats, complementing the original black and beige cabin trim. PCA also added a Porsche Classic stereo and upgraded speakers, blending modern audio capabilities seamlessly with the vehicle's retro charm.
During its refurbishment, PCA addressed key cosmetic and corrosion issues, performed paint correction, replaced windshield and body seals, and meticulously cleaned the undercarriage using dry-ice blasting.
This special 911 coupe is accompanied by thorough service records, owner's manuals, removed original components, and a clean Maryland title. Despite its documented mileage discrepancy noted in a 2024 Carfax report, the odometer currently shows just 37,000 miles.

Lamborghini Miura Emerges After 40 Years Inside New York Living Room
Read the full story on Modern Car Collector A Lamborghini Miura S, one of the most coveted classic supercars in the world, has resurfaced after spending 40 years parked inside a Long Island man's living room. The unusual discovery was featured in a recent episode of Extreme Detailing on Discovery, hosted by master car detailer and YouTuber Larry Kosilla of AMMO NYC. Kosilla was tipped off by exotic car broker Barrett, who had heard about the Miura but needed to verify the story before making an offer. 10 Must-Have Tools and Gear for the Modern Car Collector (Amazon Edition) What they found was more than just a rare car. The Miura S is one of only 50 'Series 2' examples built, and just three were finished in the car's distinctive brownish-gold color. The owner, identified only as Paul, bought the Lamborghini for $10,000 in the 1970s and later brought it into his house through the garage. A wall was then built behind it, effectively sealing the car inside. The car remained untouched for decades, preserved alongside its original manuals and service records. While the passenger seat showed damage and many rubber bushings had deteriorated, Kosilla found the gauges intact and confirmed the original paintwork. The engine and chassis numbers also matched, an important detail for collectors. Barrett eventually purchased the Miura for more than $1 million — a sum far exceeding the value of the house it had been stored in. Extracting the car required partial demolition of the wall, removal of an air-conditioning unit, and clearing several other vehicles from the garage. Once freed, the Miura rolled out under its own weight for the first time in four decades. Experts say its long-term indoor storage may have spared it from corrosion, making it a prime candidate for restoration. The Miura will now likely see daylight — and perhaps the open road — for the first time in generations. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter

RestoMods Offers Ride-Along Look at 1,000-HP 1967 Camaro RestoMod Giveaway Car
Read the full story on Modern Car Collector RestoMods has taken viewers inside the cockpit of its latest giveaway car — a 1967 Camaro RestoMod packing a supercharged LSX engine rated at 1,000 horsepower — with the release of a new ride-along video. The footage, posted as part of the company's RM31 giveaway campaign, features head mechanic Chris Esparza behind the wheel, demonstrating how the build blends modern power with everyday usability. While the car's aggressive acceleration and exhaust note dominate the first impressions, Esparza emphasizes that comfort and control were just as important as raw performance in the design. Finished in tuxedo black, the Camaro rides on Boze Forged Synchro wheels wrapped in Toyo Proxes R888R tires. Under the hood, a Whipple-supercharged Wegner LSX V8 sends power through a T56 manual transmission to a fabricated Ford 9-inch rear end, supported by a Chassisworks rear four-link suspension and front subframe. Stopping power comes from Wilwood brakes at all four corners, while a carbon-fiber driveshaft and roll cage round out the performance upgrades. Inside, the car features houndstooth Recaro seats, Sparco belts, and modern conveniences such as Restomod Air A/C, a Holley LCD dash, and TMI custom panels. Esparza notes that despite its track-ready specification, the Camaro could function as a daily driver — a point RestoMods highlights in encouraging entries for the sweepstakes. One entrant will take home the car along with $50,000 in cash. The RM31 giveaway is open now, with details, rules, and entry information available at The full ride-along video and technical build sheet can also be viewed on the site, offering enthusiasts an up-close look at one of the most potent restomod Camaros ever built.
