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.

2015 Porsche Cayenne GTS proves performance is relative
Thu, Nov 20 2014The Turbo may be the most powerful model in the Cayenne range, but the GTS is arguably the enthusiast's choice. (In so far as a 4,500-pound crossover can be considered an "enthusiast's choice," anyway.) And now, after refreshing the rest of the Cayenne lineup, Porsche has revealed the new Cayenne GTS, alongside its new 911 GTS stablemate, here at the LA Auto Show. Like the new Cayenne S, the new GTS drops the previous version's atmospheric V8 for a 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6, but ups the output to 440 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque to propel Zuffenhausen's portliest to 62 in a scant 5.2 seconds. Alongside the power upgrade, the GTS gets a lowered air suspension and sportier exhaust, the beefier brakes from the Cayenne Turbo and an upgraded aero kit to help with the whole barn-door-profile thing. Just don't expect all that extra kit and the prestige of a Porsche badge on your crossover to come cheap, with prices starting at $95,500 (plus $995 destination).
10 most memorable cars and SUVs of 2019
Tue, Dec 24 2019It's no surprise that a car reviewer will drive a large number of cars over the course of a year. Indeed, when the clock strikes midnight on Dec 31, I will have driven 75 new cars, trucks and SUV this year (and one old Peugeot) over the course of weekly evaluation loans and first drive events. That sure seems like a lot. Some definitely got more attention than others, and some came and went without leaving much of an impression – I completely forgot I drove a Kia Forte. Yet in the spirit of this day, I thought I'd pick the 10 that I would love to see under the Christmas tree tomorrow morning. You know, just in case you were looking to get me something. I'll also throw in a couple disappointments that were memorable for the wrong reasons. They'd get sent back to the store on Boxing Day. Lexus LC 500 Pictured below and resplendent in its Flare Yellow metallic paint, the car that would reach highest on my list is the divine Lexus LC 500. As a devout lover of GT cars, the LC ticks all the boxes. Muscular and characterful engine? V8, check. Beautifully made and memorable interior? It's gorgeous, to hell with Remote Touch. Check. Comfortable and reasonably practical? Superb seats and, uh, yeah. Makes me want to stand there and stare at it? You bet. Though I long figured my heart would say LC but my head "Porsche 911," after this go-around, that's no longer the case. LC, pretty please. 2020-lexus-lc500-f34-2 View 19 Photos Polestar 1 I actually feel lucky that I got to drive the Polestar 1. Only 150 will be produced each year, and it's a far more special thing than it would initially appear. And that's despite initially appearing to be a beautiful, classic two-door GT car with a roof so rakish it's only possible because it's made of carbon fiber. That itÂ’s a massively powerful plug-in hybrid with more all-electric range than any other PHEV is a thick dollop of whipped cream on a slice of Toscakaka. You know, Swedish dessert, Swedish car. Fine, I'll stick to Ikea references. Polestar1_Launch_SanFrancisco-0014 View 44 Photos Volvo V60 Cross Country Speaking of Sweden, did I drive this car off the road there? Sure did! And despite this, the V60 Cross Country scratches that certain wagon itch and looks sensational to boot. I wish it were available with the T8 plug-in hybrid powertrain, but it's best not to get greedy at Christmas.
Muffler Man gets racing suit to mark progress on Porsche Experience Center
Sat, 19 Oct 2013In a dramatic change of careers, a fiberglass Muffler Man statue on the side of a busy Los Angeles freeway, formerly known as "Golf Guy," traded in his clubs for a Porsche driver's suit a couple days ago. It's no coincidence, as he's standing on land that the German automaker bought from the Dominguez Hills Golf Course a couple years ago to build its west coast Porsche Experience Center - which will be complete with a test track, restoration and maintenance facilities, a cafe and restaurant, a home for Porsche Motorsports North America and more, when it's finished in the fourth quarter of 2014.
The Porsche Muffler Man will serve as the gatekeeper to the 53-acre center and overlook the test track on the side of the 405 freeway. We can't think of a better job for a fiberglass giant that used to watch golf all day than to watch Porsche road cars and racecars getting wrung out on a test track in the middle of LA. Since Muffler Men are quite adaptable, we're sure this one will fit into his new role in no time - just as easily as he can double as Paul Bunyan.
Check out the press release below for more information on the Muffler Man and the experience center, which could be the ultimate adult playground when it's finished.
