You are viewing a gorgeous 1996 Tech@rt wide body look Porsche 911 that was painstakingly converted and thoroughly restored from a clean ‘76 Porsche 911s. Her restoration was completed on 8/11/2013. This 911 can be a bargain as there aren’t many, if any at all “Porsche certified engineers only” tasks remaining for her. They’ve already been done for you! This stunning car can be won for less than half of the book value and $30,000 less than was spent on her restoration.
The video available below, its contents and the virtual test drive was filmed days before this posting. The images capture accurately the car’s current appearance, ease & ability to start run and drive well.
Background:
Even prior to her restoration she easily passed state inspection and is currently registered at a $35,000 insurance replacement value that includes a clean car fax report.VIN: MA11504 registered as a custom Porsche 911S. She’s an adult female owned 911 with only two adult owners prior to her. This three owner, low mileage car was originally designated as a California car, for the first 30 some odd years. The second owner from San Jose CA decided she would make an excellent candidate for a body conversion. Her body work was completed by Better Bodies of San Jose who stretched and mounted correctly the extra low, extra wide, lightweight metal and fiberglass composite 993 body. The undertaking was to honor the look of the Techart 993 using authentic Porsche 996/993 parts when available. Authentic ’96 Porsche 993 Litronic Bi-Xenon headlights, signals, seats and exhausts are just to name a few. The transformation continued in 2009 by installing a custom made interior and speed yellow exterior paint. Adding original 996 turbo seats, custom updated leatherette console compartments, RS doors, new headliner, and carpets, under dashboard fiberglass kit was installed to remove wiring clutter. Pedal, brake, door handle/pins and cluster accents were also applied. The current owner completed the updating and restoration with only dealer test miles put on the car intermittently between tasks. This 911 was lovingly given an exhaustive, time consuming and expensive full mechanical restoration involving most aspects of the car from the bottom up. Most were not imperative but rather done out of adoration for the car and a desire to fully restore her to almost new condition. This 911 will be inexpensive to insure especially if she’s insured as an antique or just as ’76 911S.
Condition:
The car starts first time reliably. She drives and handles as it should. This 911 has been a consistently reliable car. As of today she is not leaking any fluids prior to engine and electric over haul she leaked dime size drops of oil. Before undergoing her most recent work she was used as a daily. Driving to and from RI – MA highway miles. That said, like anything that moves…eventually and without notice…breaks. Although unlikely since most everything on the car has been replaced or restored.
There are numerous paint defects throughout and she would benefit by being repainted. The imperfections are not noticeable from 10-15 feet way but are there just the same. At the time of completion, there was nothing impeding this car from being driven starts right up and hugs turns! There are several owner biased odds and ends which you may wish to repair, replace or repaint. Most notably the rock chips and paint defects and replacing the air/fuel adjustment bolt which is stripped. The cost of this adjustment is between $2-$700. Although this is not noticeable with regard to her ability to start & drive well doing this work will optimize her purr.The work specified has been reflected in the price. Lastly, during her restoration she was not driven regularly and would benefit from having all fluids purged and replenished before distance driving. She should be slowly broken in again since she’s like new and hasn’t been driven beyond intermittent test drives post engine, transmission and EFI conversion. That said, the car is a bargain as a reliable daily driver that’s undergone a meticulous restoration that will keep her new owner on the road with miles of smiles so you can bid with confidence. The car is sold as is and as an unfinished project.

Driving the Panamera and Mike's Rant | Autoblog Podcast #487

Then we go into what we've been driving - David just finished his time in the Porsche Panamera Turbo and Mike tried the GMC Acadia.

Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R named Road & Track Performance Car of the Year
Mon, Nov 9 2015With a 526-horsepower, 5.2-liter V8 that roars to 8,250 rpm, it's really hard to consider the 2016 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350R an underdog in any fight. However, the Shelby held the lowest as-tested price and was only middle of the pack in terms of power in Road & Track's 2016 Performance Car of the Year challenge. The 'Stang's numbers clearly didn't tell the whole story about the potent coupe because Ford's muscle car grabbed the title in this year's test. A model needs to be new or significantly updated to be eligible for the honor, and R&T found an impressive slate of eight candidates this year. The challengers included the Bentley Continental GT3-R, Cadillac ATS-V Coupe, Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Dodge Viper ACR, Mercedes-AMG GT S, and Porsche Cayman GT4. The Ferrari 488 GTB was the most expensive of the bunch with an as-tested price of $347,942, which is five times more than the Shelby. Once the group was together, R&T hustled them over curving roads and on the National Corvette Museum Motorsports Park. There was a lot to love about the Shelby, even in this impressive crew. "With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," editor-in-chief Larry Webster said in the announcement of the results. The GT350R joins some great company. Past winners include the Porsche 911 GT3 last year and the Corvette in 2013. For some fantastic photography and the complete appraisal of these performance machines check out R&T's website for the full story.

The article appears in the December/January issue, on newsstands November 17, and on RoadandTrack.com. "With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," said Larry Webster, editor-in-chief of Road & Track. "Not only does the car have soul and harness so much firepower with such ease, but the real achievement here is that it's so approachable. It's a car you can't help but love." The Mustang Shelby GT350R was the winner by a runaway vote.
Porsche responds to PETA after tiger cub displays at Macan dealership events
Tue, 13 May 2014Porsche has found itself in the good graces of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which is pretty odd considering it's the only brand we know of that offers leather-lined vents. The activist group is praising the sports car manufacturer's handling of reports that some of its dealerships were set to feature tigers or tiger cubs at the local launch events for the Macan. Apparently, "macan" is the Malay word for tiger, which explains the connection between a highly touted crossover and a jungle cat.
A Tampa, FL dealership already displayed some three-week-old cubs, with PETA saying tigers for display should be at least eight to 12 weeks old. Even then, the group argues that the animals can suffer due to stress, malnourishment, neglect and a lack of veterinary care. The group brings up legal concerns, as well, arguing that if one of the cubs bit a customer, the dealership could be held liable (we're no big cat experts, but it seems unlikely a three-week-old cub could do that much damage).
Porsche's PR department quickly reacted to PETA's claims, with Vice President of Marketing Andre Oosthuizen, telling the group that Porsche is concerned about the "welfare of any animal, large or small, wild or domesticated." Oosthuizen's statements were reported in an official PETA blog.
