Low Reserve on this is beautiful Viola Purple Carrera 4 Convertible. I have owned and taken care of this vehicle for about 14 years! It has nice after market wheels, 3A Racing seats, and an SCCA approved ( bolt in ) DAS sport roll bar ( all shown in pictures ). It has after market strut tower braces for better handling, Bilstein coil struts, Carrera Turbo tie rod ends, a performance chip and the normal fuel map chip will be provided. A K&N style high flow airbox and may a few other odds and end I forgot about over the years. It is very fun to drive!
There are a few minor paint chips on the hood and maybe a small scratch or two here and there, there is a small area in front of the right rear wheel that has lost a bit of the clearcoat, there is one minor dent over the left tail light, and the fog light lenses are cracked. The third brake light lens cracked and is missing in the picture ( Car detailer broke it! I have the part and will install it ), there is a 3 or 4 inch crack on the lowest right side of the windshield, it has been the same size for 5 years ( a bird flew into it! ) and does not affect the view out the windshield. It had a minor fender bender and the passenger door got dinged and completely replaced about 10 years ago, no other major damage. The Carfax shows a non-collision indecent before I owned it. I beleive it was broken into since it is non-collision, and had no apparent damage. There is a small crack on the top dash. If it sits for a month or two the battery might drain. ( I am trying to disclose anything or all I know about the car )
I have never raced the car ( the roll bar is due to the mountain road I used to drive on for safety ( rt 9 Saratoga, many hairpins, drop-offs, fun driving! ) , since its a convertible ). The roof is good and lowers and raises fine and is water tight( I did glue some material inside to an area I thought would wear while rasing and lowering it, but it turns out its fine after 10 years since I last replace the roof ). It is always garaged, never driven in the snow, and very rarely in the rain. It just passed its most recent required smog check less than a week ago ( of this posting ). I can provide original black leather power seats and Carrera cup wheels at an additional price. It is a great running, strong running Porsche and looks stunning for its age! I always get lots of compliments when I drive it! Its time to sell it as it pretty much sits in my garage all year until I need to re-register and smog it! Roughly 400 of the C4 Cabs were sold in 1993 in the U.S. probably only a few in this color!

Porsche reveals new 911 Turbo Cabriolets, starting from $160,700*
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Porsche has come a long way from the days when its entire model line revolved essentially around the 911, but its prototypical rear-engined sports car is still what it's known for best, and still keeps the German automaker pretty busy. With a seemingly endless array of variations on the theme, the 911s just keep on coming until a new generation arrives and then it starts all over again. And what we have here is the new king of the hill (for now, anyway).
Set to debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show a little less than two months from now are the new Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolets. And no, that's not a typo: that's cabriolets, plural, because what you're looking at are two new models. First up is the 911 Turbo Cabriolet, whose 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six develops 520 horsepower, driving the droptop to 60 miles per hour in 3.3 seconds. That's Porsche's claim, and we have a feeling it's a bit conservative. But if that's still not enough, the 911 Turbo S Cabriolet adds an extra 40 hp for a total of 560 to drop the benchmark acceleration run down to 3.1 seconds.
That makes the new topless Turbos 30 horses stronger and 0.2 seconds quicker than the respective models they replace, but the weight penalty involved with replacing a fixed roof with a folding one (and the necessary structural reinforcement) does make the new 911 Turbo Cabs a smidgen more lethargic than their contemporary coupe counterparts, which run the gauntlet in 3.2 and 2.9 seconds in standard Turbo and upgraded Turbo S specs, respectively. They only lose a single tick on the top speed, though, which clocks in at a follicle-tickling 195 mph in either spec. Otherwise the specifications are as identical as you might expect.
1986 Porsche 959 Prototype at Barrett-Jackson sees gavel fall at $440,000 [UPDATE: w/video]
Sat, 19 Jan 2013Fans of Porsche in America have longed for the chance to buy a 959 ever since the German automaker produced and sold it (well, sold it everywhere but the United States...) in the 1980s. Well, they just had their chance. The car you see above is a Porsche 959 prototype built in 1986, and only one other running prototype still exists.
The 959 prototype can't be driven on public roads, as it carries no such certification. Somehow, we doubt that matters all that much to the new buyer - this one is probably going to be sitting in a collection. When the gavel finally fell, bidding had reached $400,000, plus a 10-percent buyer's fee.
