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.

All the crazy stuff we saw at McCall's Motorworks Revival
Thu, Aug 18 2016Every year, Gordon McCall puts on a lavish event packed with rare cars and planes (and the type of people that can afford rare cars and planes). And every year, more ridiculous stuff shows up. It's the good kind of machine overload. It's likely the only place in the world where you'll see a line of BMW 3.0s next to some Paganis next to a Porsche 911 by Singer Design next to a Ferrari salt racer next to a custom Olds Riviera next to the latest from Koenigsegg next to he coolest stuff Shelby ever made next to a hangar filled with McLarens, including a few P1 GTRs. And then all of that is surrounded by private jets, fighters, and planes that could have flown in directly from WWII. In a word, it's insane. Walk through the gallery above to get a taste for what was there this year for the event's 25th anniversary.

Ruf Turbo Florio is the Turbo Targa Porsche won't sell you
Thu, Mar 5 2015Porsche offers a staggering array of 911 variants. You can get the Carrera, Carrera S, Carrera GTS, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Carrera 4 GTS and Turbo and Turbo S (to say nothing of the GT3 and new GT3 RS). And with few exceptions, you can get each as a coupe, cabrio or Targa. Except you can't get a Turbo Targa. The partial-convertible model tops out at the GTS. But if the one thing you really wanted was a Targa with a turbo engine, the folks over at Ruf will be glad to hook you up with the tuned version you see here. It's called the Ruf Turbo Florio, taking the latter part of its handle from the second part of the Sicilian road race where Porsche got the name for its lift-top in the first place. But Ruf's take doesn't just match the factory Turbo's output – it far exceeds it: with 621 horsepower and 608 pound-feet of torque on tap, it'll put even the 911 Turbo S (on Sport Plus overboost, no less) to shame. Plus you can get it with a six-speed manual or seven-speed DCT, driving all four wheels like the factory Turbo or just the rear set like the GT2 that Porsche doesn't even make any more. It'll top out at 205 miles per hour, and all the while with the wind in your hair – but not too much of it. Related Video:
