 Up for sale is my 1977 Porsche 911S with 993 body conversion.  The car looks very nice and draws a lot of attention in my driveway.  This has been a project car for me for the last several years but with the arrival of my third child, and getting a good deal on a newer 911, I have lost interest in completing the work needed to finish the vehicle.  When I purchased the vehicle, the car was running and driving, but smoked.  After driving it for several minutes, the smoke resolved and the car drove great with transmission, brakes, and engine all functioning properly.  After that, I parked it to finish the body conversion.  Three kids later, the motor will start but runs rough and smokes.  I have attempted to find a Porsche mechanic in town but have been unsuccessful so I do not know what issues the car is having although I expect they are minor.  The car does not run well enough to drive onto a trailer.  I also think a caliper is beginning to stick a little.  The car was stored in a garage in dry west Texas.  Rust is not an issue. 

Exterior:  The car was originally yellow and has been plastidipped the same color to match the door jambs.  The car looks nice from a distance but has plenty of small blemishes up close.  The plastidip can be easily remove to finish out the car however you like.  The lights are in fairly good shape with some small chips in the rear reflector and turn signal.  The lights have not been wired.  The harness is there but the connectors have not been spliced on.  Tires still have some tread on them and the wheels look nice.  The hood emblem is brand new.  The sale will include the parts for the motorized spoiler but it has been removed secondary to clearance issues with the ducting on the motor.   There is a chip in the front windshield but no cracks. 

Interior:  Seats look nice with no rips or tears.  Power windows and wipers function.  Stereo does not function.  Sunroof motor works, but the cable is not functioning.  Apparently this is common, and is fixed fairly easily.  A book will be included that explains the process.  There are a couple of small tears in the headliner that should be easy to repair. 

Engine:  The previous owner states the motor was rebuilt in 1999.  He acquired the vehicle from the garage which sold it to him in a lien sale.  The smog equipment has been removed which improves power and dependability of the motor but will be an issue if you your state requires smog testing for this year vehicle.  The stock muffler is used but modified to 2 out and the exhaust tips are tack welded on. 

Misc:  The battery is a couple of months old and a new fuel pump was installed.  A lot of work has been done on the car but there is plenty left to be done.  The car includes the factory space saving spare and trunk carpet as well as a couple of Porsche project manuals.  Winning bidder may also purchase a carbon fiber RS wing for an extra $300 or a fiberglass Turbo S wing for $200.  Neither are painted to match.  The title is bonded but has no liens.  The previous owner never had the car switched to his name because it would not pass smog in California.  He had owned it since 2000 and I have had it for a few years but did not get the title in my name until recently in order to sell the car.  I will respond to questions as quickly as possible.  I have tried to be as detailed as possible about the condition of the car, but this is a project with many small tasks which need to be completed.  With a little work, this will make someone a fun vehicle.  This is a no reserve auction, so the high bidder takes it home.  Buyer responsible for pickup and shipping.  Thanks for looking and happy bidding.

Porsche 960 could come with quad-turbo flat-eight engine

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Getting a bead on the target that is the so-called Porsche 960 is not easy, as the target keeps moving. First labeled the 960, then the 961, and now back to being called the 960, it is Porsche's take on a supercar specifically aimed at Ferrari - the latest report in Automobile says that Porsche's internal moniker for it is "FeFi," which stands for "Ferrari Fighter." Because it is expected to cost as much as the top-tier V12 Ferrari, Porsche wants the engine solution to justify the price tag. That means, according to author Georg Kacher, a 3.9-liter, quad-turbo flat-eight engine with 650 horsepower.
Last summer, the engine was mooted to be a twin-turbo flat six. A few months later, the rumor was that it would use the 4.6-liter V8 from the 918 and have about 570 horsepower. This new mid-engine configuration would be quite the leap, giving the 960 more power than the 918 Spyder (pictured) and 911 GT2 RS, and utilize other tech features like four adjustable camshafts and "a complex multistage intake manifold." In this scenario, power would be run through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive.
Build materials are still slated to be a hodgepodge of materials including aluminum, steel, carbon fiber, titanium and magnesium. The boosted flat-eight, all-wheel drive and a 3,000-pound weight could get the 960 from zero to 60 miles per hour in just 2.5 seconds. Since it is looking squarely at Ferrari, the idea that the 960 will be a "four-door coupe" can probably be put to rest. For now.

Porsche already considering even more hardcore Cayman GT4 RS?

Fri, Mar 6 2015

We're not sure what kind of person would look at the new Porsche Cayman GT4 and say "that's not enough," but we're sure they're out there. And to satisfy just such a customer, Porsche could very well offer a GT4 RS version in the future. "This is just the beginning of the era. I would be interested in doing a Cayman GT4 RS version, but at the moment we didn't even talk about such a thing. If the customers call for something like this we could think about it." These are the words of Andreas Preuninger, speaking with Evo at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show this week. As head of Porsche's GT line, Preuninger and his team are responsible for creating hardcore track models like the 911 GT3, the new 911 GT3 RS and – for the first time – the new Cayman GT4. Clearly buoyed by the early success of the GT4, Prenuninger is already looking towards the next step. Considering that the existing model already packs a 3.8-liter flat six with 385 horsepower and the manual transmissions so many GT3 fans miss, we're not sure how much more they could get out of the Cayman – but we'll sure enjoy watching them try.

Porsche 911 Cabriolet refresh may hide new engine

Wed, 22 Jan 2014

If we learned nothing else from our recent frolic through Porsche's secret museum, it's that the automaker goes to incredible lengths to disguise future products during initial testing. Just as a number of cars in that Stuttgart bunker hid the true identity of developmental mules (like the Audi-V8-powered 911), such could very well be the case with these spy shots showing what, on the surface, appears to be simply a facelifted 991 911 Cabriolet.
Similar to what we saw last month on a 911 coupe, this Cabriolet has obvious styling modifications made to the front and rear fascias suggesting that the 911's still-fresh appearance is already set to get a few tweaks. The big news here is at the rear of the car. The additional vents on the lower edge of the fascia and the mocked-up vent above the engine leads our spy photographer to believe that a new engine could be tucked under the body work - likely a smaller-displacement, turbocharged flat-six focusing more on improving fuel efficiency and reducing exhaust emissions rather than performance.
We last heard rumblings of such a detuned 911 back in August, but could this be our first look at said new model? Have a look for yourself, and let us know what you think - either about this mule specifically or the idea of a "green" 911, in Comments below.
