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.

Playboy reveals its 2013 Cars of the Year

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

Vaunted men's magazine Playboy knows that its readers are nearly as interested in cars as they are in the female anatomy... sorry, we thought we could write that with a straight face. Anyway, the buff-book does occasionally fill some of its spreads with sexy metal, to accent all the rest of the sexiness.
To wit, the magazine has unveiled its feature on the 2013 Cars of the Year. Without giving us much in the way of criteria for the awards, nor a clear framing of the categories ("Responsible Ride" is a particularly challenging concept, especially when you consider that the Mazdaspeed3 was the winner), Playboy has nevertheless highlighted what we assume to be it's favorite 12 or 13 (depending on how you count) cars from the 2013 model year.
Headlining the class is the Porsche 911, which Playboy writers single out for having "remarkable electronic voodoo." BMW M5 is named "Slickest Sports Sedan" though the Cadillac ATS then follows on because "we couldn't resist giving the new Caddy a shout-out." The rest of the picks are pretty conventional (save, perhaps, the Honda Fit EV as "Ace Electric"), even if the categories and methodology are fairly wonky. Cruise through or gallery for a taste or check out the full list, here. The site is safe for work, and you can legitimately (this time) say that you were reading it for the articles.

Recharge Wrap-up: Porsche Mission E charging for Tesla, net zero energy Toyota dealership

Wed, Oct 5 2016

Porsche has confirmed that its Mission E charging infrastructure will also work with Tesla vehicles. The ultra-fast, 800-volt charging system will recharge the Mission E to 80 percent in about 15 minutes, and will also service new EVs from Volkswagen and Audi. Porsche CEO Oliver Blume told Top Gear that development of the charging infrastructure "sounds easy but getting the details agreed is hard. We already have the clear technical concept. It can even work with Teslas, with an adapter." Dieter Zetsche, Head of Mercedes-Benz, also tells Top Gear that they are "in talks" with Porsche regarding charging infrastructure. Read more at Top Gear, or from Electrek. An Oregon Toyota dealership is set to be the world's first net zero energy automotive dealership. The newly constructed, LEED Platinum certified Toyota of Corvallis produces more energy than it consumes, for which it is expected to receive Net Zero Energy certification. The 34,800-square-foot building is equipped with enough solar panels to produce as much energy that the dealership will use, with excess being put back into the grid, which will help during hours of peak demand. Toyota Motor Sales regional manager Steve Haag calls Toyota of Corvallis, "a first-of-its-kind template for the auto dealership of the future." Read more from Toyota. Valeo has introduced a new 48-volt hybrid system. The 48V e4Sport, as it is called, uses a 48-volt battery, electric starter-generator, electric supercharger, and eRAD electric rear axle drive for all-wheel drive. It maximizes regenerative braking and stores that energy for increasing torque with the starter-generator, and increasing acceleration with the electric supercharger. The system also supports all-electric driving modes. Valeo says the system is applicable across all vehicle segments, and works with both gasoline and diesel engines. Read more at Green Car Congress. PSA Group has created its own mobility solutions brand, called Free2Move. Free2Move will handle programs like car sharing, connected services, corporate fleet services, and affordable leasing programs for Peugeot, Citroen, DS, and other PSA partners. "For the PSA Group, mobility means not only making and selling excellent cars, but also offering a full range of mobility solutions," says PSA Group VP of Mobility Services Gregoire Olivier.

Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS caters to a very specific customer [w/video]

Mon, Jan 12 2015

Porsche is happy to cater to some very specific buyer demographics, and the brand's newly unveiled 911 Targa 4 GTS at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show is the perfect example of that tendency. The sports coupe is aimed at the customer who wants open-air driving without a full convertible, all-wheel drive traction and a little extra performance, all wrapped in a sporty package. Launching in the US in late-April, 2015, for $132,800, plus a $995 destination charge, this high-performance Targa benefits from all of the goodies from Porsche's GTS line. That gives it a 3.8-liter flat-six boasting 424 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of twist, and the choice of either a seven-speed PDK or seven-speed manual. The model also gets the Sport Chrono package, PASM, 20-inch wheels and a sport exhaust. Picking the PDK means the Targa 4 GTS can hit a top speed of 188 miles per hour and sprint to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds. Opting for the manual makes the run to 60 take a few more ticks at 4.5 seconds and scarcely cuts the top speed to 187 mph. The Targa 4 GTS is more than just about boosted performance, and shows off some handsome styling tweaks, as well. It wears a modded front bumper with an extra opening to cool the middle radiator. Plus, the wheels are 20-inch units from the 911 Turbo S, and the Bi-Xenon headlights get smoked coverings. Inside, drivers are held firmly in place by Sport Plus seats covered partially in black Alcantara. Porsche apparently sees a hole in its lineup that a higher-performance Targa can fill, and here it is. Look below for a video of intricate top doing its fascinating dance and read the German brand's full press release about the its latest take on the venerable 911. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The new 911 Targa 4 GTS More powerful, dynamic and exquisitely styled To mark the 50th anniversary of the 911 Targa, Porsche is offering this very popular model in the more powerful and dynamic GTS version for the first time. The targa concept of the 911 Targa 4 GTS delivers very safe driving enjoyment with all-wheel drive and a rollover protection bar; it also delivers open-air fun with a targa top that stows fully automatically. Contributing to a boost in dynamic performance are the 430 hp (316 kW) GTS engine together with the standard Sport Chrono package, PASM chassis, 20-inch wheels and a sport exhaust system.
