Let's Take A Tour Of The Historical Porsche Transporter Known As "Buster" 
Porsche
"Inside that truck was some wickedly fast race cars," said Hurley Haywood.  That's just one of the many great quotes you'll find in this video tour of Porsche's iconic race car transporter.  Released on Monday via Brumos TV (to celebrate the opening of their new web-store), this video takes a closer look at "Buster", who was known to "[Strike] the fear of God in other team's hearts".  See for yourself here.
Our Favorite Porsches On eBay This Week: Volume 11
Future Barn Finds
For all of the eccentric and eclectic Porsche collectors and enthusiasts out there, we've decided that it is about time someone aggregated the best of the best that eBay has to offer in the Porsches-for-sale department. We've tracked down five exciting Porsches for folks to purchase today, including a Strosek Speedster, a pair of exceptionally maintained low mile 993 Turbos, a good investment 914-6, a ducktailed '77 SC for street or track, and a slightly strange one-off racing special. Some of these cars could be great collection investments, while others might prove to do more financial harm than good.
What Other High-End, Exclusive Special Editions Does Porsche Have Planned?
Panamera Turbo Executive
In late October, just before its world premier at the LA Auto show, Porsche introduced us to their most expensive Panamera yet; the Panamera Turbo S Executive Exclusive Edition. Limited to just 100 units, and priced at $264,000 here in the U.S., we heard from many of you thinking Porsche had lost touch with reality and their market. Guess what? They didn't. In fact, all 100 units of the quarter million plus Panamera were sold in just 48 hours. Porsche's only regret, that they didn't make more of them. Now they say this is the way of the future. What special edition should Porsche build next?

It was just two short weeks ago that we learned part of Patrick Dempsey's racing plans with Porsche for the 2015 season.

This Lowriding 356 Speedster Is The Coolest Porsche You'll See Today
low riding porsche
The good doctor might roll over in his grave at this one, but we just had to share.  "Slammed" Porsches aren't new, but this is the first time we've seen a 356 done so outrageously. Not only is this 356 lowered to within an inch of the ground, it's done so using an adjustable Air Ride suspension.  Check out the video and thread that showcases all the details on this visually stunning build.
