This is not an inexpensive 993. There are several of those around as these vehicles approach 20 years of age. Most are fixed as they break leaving the owner having to put in lots of time and money and unable to truly appreciate the experience.. This Porsche was reconditioned with no expence spared. It was originally a US car and I chose the year 1995 to make sure that an SAI light issue would never occur. I have repaired several of these systems and they can be very expensive to clean out. All of the work was done by myself ,I would trust very few others to work on my car. The pictures tell the story of the effort to make this car as perfect as I could. Three years later there is not a single drop of oil leaking from anywhere. I just replaced all the pads ,rotors and sensors with OEM parts as you can see in the photos. I do not have time to drive this car so it is time to go to a new home. Although it is not cheap it is still a gift in this condition. The factory tan sport seats with matching red backs are in excellent condition. The 3 spoke custom leather wheel with red stitching is beautiful. The original goes with the car as well as the original front splitters.
Some recent major things done(last 10k-3yrs) It ran perfectly before this work was done. This is preventive maintenance. -New clutch,DMF and related components -Rebuilt alternator -Rebuilt distributer -Most hoses and oil lines new -new flywheel and speed sensor -All seals and gaskets replaced -new euro factory shocks and springs -sheet metal powder coated -fan and fan housing powder coated -new fan bearing -new engine wiring harness -new Beru red plug wires (custom made),caps and rotors,plugs -new factory brakes all around -new premium engine pad(ultimate) -new engine knock sensors -new a arm bushings -windshield and all corner lenses replaced by previous owner -previous owner had wheels refinished -clutch slave and hose replaced -fuel injectors professionally cleaned and spec tested -new recent battery -All hydraulic valve lifters replaced ( that causes the clack clack sound for a few seconds when you start a 993 from cold if you have more than 60-75k on it. The original factory ones just dissolve over time.) lots more On 14-Sep-14 at 18:46:19 EDT, seller added the following information: People have inquired about the recent brake work. It was completed last week and included removal , inspection of calipers. Removal ,cleaning and polishing of sliders. Reassembly with Porsche spiders (antisqueal clips) and OE pads. Full brake flush with new Premium dot 4. New OE Zimmerman coated /drilled rotors. On 15-Sep-14 at 11:57:37 EDT, seller added the following information: A person has requested information about the ultimate engine pad. This is a US manufactured replacement for the OE pad that you see lying on the top of most 993 engines. It is more expensive than the OE and is made of three materials. A foil back a felt inner and a special rubber outer. It is marketed as The Ultimate Sound Pad. Guaranteed not to fall apart like the original. Most of the cars suffer from this and in many cases the photo shots of the cars are at an angle that you can't make it out until you get your new car and open the engine compartment and see the pieces all over the engine. It is on even low mileage cars as it is a time thing not a mileage issue. You need to pull the engine and remove a lot of hoses ect to do a decent replacement job. You have to question when you hear of an engine rebuilt and see the pad in pieces on the new engine. That gives you an indication that it was done on a budget. Porsche engine tight budget rebuilds??? At almost twenty years most rubber parts are finished ,hence the need for preventive replacement or pay the price. A question came in on the rubber convertible top seal that goes above the windshield and down around the doors. It has been replaced with the Porsche part. $800. The top works and seals as good as new. On 15-Sep-14 at 23:45:43 EDT, seller added the following information: Of Note I have been told that the third number in my serial # is number 0 not the letter O as in the listing. So to confirm from my Porsche certificate of Authenticity WP0CA2991SS342944 |

Porsche unlocks secrets of its mid-engine 911
Fri, 23 May 2014Porsche is beginning to realize that it's sitting on a goldmine of automotive history with its secret vault full of rare cars. Autoblog toured it a few months ago, and we were amazed at all of the curiosities hidden inside. Now, it's starting to let more folks in thanks to a new series of YouTube videos. The first covered the 965 prototype that shoved a water-cooled, Audi V8 into one of its cars. Next up, a mid-engine 911 that acted as the powertrain test mule for the Boxster.
The Porsche 911 is inextricably linked to its rear-engine layout. They go together like peanut butter and jelly. However, at the time Porsche was developing the Boxster, the company didn't want to lay all of its cards out of the table during testing. As opposed to using camouflage, it put a whole different car on top. The prototype looked just like any other 911 Targa of the day, but the biggest giveaway that something was amiss was the heavily tinted rear window. By obscuring it, inquisitive journalists couldn't peak at the new engine that replaced the backseat.
It might not look like anything too important on the outside, but this is a major piece of Porsche Boxster history underneath. Scroll down to watch the video about this fascinating prototype.
Porsche patent sketches show removable headrest wind deflector
Mon, 21 Oct 2013While driving around in a convertible might seem glamorous, ask anyone with long hair and they'll likely tell you how it really is: the wind buffets, your hair goes everywhere and it's anything but glamorous. That's why you see so many convertibles driving with their tops up, their windows up or wind deflectors in place. But Porsche is apparently preparing to kick it up to the next level.
These patent drawings have leaked out, demonstrating what appears to be some new kind of wind-deflecting device being developed by Porsche. The mechanism is apparently fitted to the headrest itself and designed to keep the wind buffeting specifically around the head down to a minimum while allowing the car's occupants to enjoy the top-down driving experience.
No word on when it might hit the market, but we won't be surprised to see this kind of device appear on a future version of the Boxster or 911 Cabriolet. But nowhere else: despite the apparent leak, the patent drawings suggest that Porsche will be keeping this technology proprietary. Whether sister brands like Volkswagen, Bentley or Lamborghini will get their hands on it remains to be seen.
Autoblog Minute: New Civic, FCA UAW Agreement, Frankfurt
Fri, Sep 18 2015FCA reaches a tentative agreement with the UAW, Honda reveals the all-new 2016 Civic, and the Frankfurt Motor Show dazzles us again. Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on the Weekly Recap edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] FCA reaches a tentative agreement with the UAW, Honda reveals the all-new 2016 Civic, and the Frankfurt Motor Show dazzles us again. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. FCA reached a tentative labor agreement with UAW leadership. The major focus of the new deal reportedly includes: the eventual elimination of the two-tier pay scale [00:00:30] and pooling worker health care. Now that a leadership agreement is in place, the deal will be sent to FCA's rank-and-file. FCA has about 36,000 hourly employees. We got a first look at the interior and exterior of the 10th-generation Civic. Honda expects the new sedan to dominate the C-segment when it hits dealerships later this fall. Civic coupe, five-door hatchback, Si and Type R will all come later. The 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show is in the books and there was a lot of news to get excited about. [00:01:00] Porsche introduced a fully electric concept car in the Mission E. If they make this car, Porsche could give Tesla nightmares. We also saw SUVs from Jaguar and Bentley. There were two beautiful Italian convertibles from Ferrari and Lamborghini. Meanwhile, Mercedes introduced a concept of their own in the IAA - a vehicle that experiments with adaptable aerodynamics. Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday. Plus we'll have some added insight on General Motors' deal to [00:01:30] avoid federal prosecution.
