1-owner 1995 Porsche 993 Carrera 4 for sale. Vin: WP0AA2998SS322021

It passed smog with flying colors and has a clean California title, title in hand. AutoCheck (same as CarFax) and recent PPI is available upon request. A detailed description is for you below.

Car has 70,950 miles, in classic Polar Silver over black leather. 6-speed. Four-way electric seats, automatic speed control, sunroof. Car was originally purchased in California (San Diego) and had most of its miles in Los Angeles. Car went to NY a few years ago and was a weekend driver, around 1000 miles / year. Garaged (of course). To give you an idea, the car had its 60,000 mile service (with 64,000 miles) in 2007. A photo of the service paperwork is included in the gallery link below. Car was shipped back to California (Los Angeles) in December and is garaged in Venice Beach.

The Good:

This 993 is in beautiful shape and has been dealer maintained until January where it is being attended to by Claudio of Foreign Sports Technicians, a master mechanic of air-cooled Porsches in Santa Monica. He describes the car as very solid and very very strong. It's fully stock and unmodified except for the stereo system and speakers (I've kept the originals and no holes were drilled, original wiring harness is uncut). Car has had a new clutch (under 12k miles), distributor service, new alternator, new belts, new fan belt sensor, the oil-filler pipe had a leak that has been fixed, passenger headlight fixed. Engine has not been steam cleaned so you can clearly see the work. DME relays replaced, wiring contacts for rear spoiler motor repaired. New tires (less than 800 miles on them) and new alignment. If you live in CA, registration is paid until 02/2014. AC is cold. All trunk shocks and deck-lid shocks were replaced (isn't that a treat). Visor clips replaced. Sun roof seals replaced. Engine has 3 small drip-free leaks, common even in cars that have 6,000 miles on them (check the comments on the PPI, it's in good shape and they're over the timing chain cover). Inflation kit, jack and tool kit are all intact. The interior is absolutely amazing and looks brand new. All "must do now" repairs have been completed as best as I know. And yes, the sunroof pulls fast and does not leak. Photograph of option sticker is at the link below.

1995 Porsches are OBD-1 cars and therefore do not have the carbon build-up issues that require later 993s to have top-end rebuilds before passing smog. That's around $8k that you don't have to deal with. This car does not have the engine-light problem that the later cars have.

Reserve has been adjusted for the following:

Everyone is pretty clear on the value of these cars. 1-owner 993 with 70,000 miles goes for between $38,000 and $41,000 miles depending on its options, color and paint shape. The reserve on this car has been adjusted for the following finds: The PPI has revealed a leak in the front oil cooler as well as a leak in the rack and pinion steering that will need repair at some point (no drips on the garage from them). As well, I used insurance to pay for paint repair on a scrape up around 2008 which reports on the AutoCheck / CarFax. Hint of paint repair and a tiny bit of overspray is visible on the driver's bumper / fender (please see photos). There are 4-5 small paint chips in the driver's door (though no door dings). There is a very small half-moon on the passenger's side windshield that is barely visible (even hard to photograph). As with nearly ALL air-cooled 911s, the door strap latch is broken and it's up to the owner if this bothers them. The driver's front-seat-height switch only goes up, I have the replacement switch (cost $100) which simply needs to be installed. There is a seal around the driver's door which has worn though it does not leak (check detail in photos, cost is $35). The passenger window switch works intermittently ($30). I would suggest changing the battery. Though it is very new, I think that it's best to change it considering the new alternator (per Claudio). There is a small dime-sized rip in the stick shift boot which happens on all of these cars from putting them in reverse.

I ENCOURAGE you to contact the mechanics who have seen this car personally and ask about it. Really though, if you see the car in person and test drive it, you will get it. It's impressive in real life. Even smells fantastic. It's a beautiful, guilt-free daily driver.

Car was recently featured in "GoPro's Photo of the Day" twice and is being considered to be included in Porsche's book about the 50th anniversary of the 911.

I live in NYC and the sale is being handled by my family who lives in Venice Beach where the car is stored. He knows the car as well as I do and we're both available to give you details. He works very long hours so we would appreciate serious inquiries only.

There is a gallery of around 70 high quality photographs below, including details of bumper scratches and the underside of the car.

Will be happy to see this go to another air-cooled aficionado!

2015 Gordon McCall's Motorworks Revival

Thu, Aug 13 2015

Considered the big kick off of the major festivities surrounding Monterey Car Week, this year's Gordon McCall's Motorworks Revival certainly didn't disappoint. For those unable to make it to the California coast, our own Drew Phillips was on hand to snap some of the beautiful vehicles on display for this gorgeous gallery. Held annually at the Monterey Jet Center, the event is always a feast for the eyes by collecting planes, a gang of exotic supercars, and some the top cars crossing the auction block over the coming days, like a Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda convertible. The Ford GT both new and old was a major attendee at this year's party. Among them, the Petersen Museum brought along an original racecar and a GT40 MKIII to promote an upcoming exhibit. The classics were complimented by the latest version that has continued to keep tongues wagging. The GT wasn't the only classic with a modern update there. Singer used the posh event for the North American debut of its stunning restoration of the Porsche 911 Targa. Shelby American was also at the revival for the public unveiling of the 50th Anniversary Daytona Coupe. On the more modern front, Honda was in attendance with the future NSX and one of the McLaren F1 cars that the company's engine powers. For further proof of the ritzy folks that attend this soiree, Pagani and Koenigsegg both had stands to show off their extremely quick wares.

Watch 1,208 Porsche 911s collect at Silverstone for world record

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Porsche has been spending the majority of 2013 celebrating the 50th birthday of the 911, with its latest stunt taking the German brand to the home of British motorsports, Silverstone. To celebrate, Porsche invited enthusiasts to take their personal 911s on a lap of the former airfield, and boy, did the Porschephiles show up. 1,208 911s took part in the lap around the Grand Prix circuit, making it the largest-ever gathering of the iconic, rear-engined cars.
This wasn't just a celebration of 50 years for the 911, though. Funds raised were channeled towards Hope For Tomorrow, a cancer charity that works with the United Kingdom's National Health Service in operating mobile chemothereapy units that make life just a little bit easier on cancer patients.
Take a look at the long video below, and enjoy the passing of what are likely examples of every 911 model ever built.

Porsche forum claims eco-friendly 911 Blu coming to Frankfurt

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

The fiftieth anniversary of the Porsche 911 has been a nearly year-long affair, with unique tributes and even a special anniversary edition with plenty of retro throwbacks. The party is expected to continue through the end of 2013, and if one 911 enthusiast forum is right, we'll see yet another special edition model near the anniversary of the original car's September 1963 debut, when it arrives at next month's Frankfurt Auto Show.
It's called the 911 Blu, and where the 911 50 Years Edition was more expensive than a 911 Carrera S hardtop, the Blu would be an entry level special edition. That's right, a limited run car that actually slots in at the very bottom of the 911 range. According to Porsche forum 911UK.com, the new car would be priced at 74,600 euros ($98,718 at today's rates) or 64,750 pounds. That undercuts the price of a base 911 in Germany by nearly 16,000 euros and in the UK by nearly 8700 pounds (although to be fair, it's roughly identical to the price of a base 911 C2S in the US).
This 911 will reportedly feature a detuned flat-six with 300 horsepower and 211 pound-feet of torque.
