You are bidding on a very nice, increasingly rare 1996 Polar Silver Metallic 993 Porsche 911 Carrera with only 36,199 miles. This car is factory original, clean and in excellent running condition.  The reserve price is set at a very reasonable level.  I reserve the right to end this listing at any time prior to the reserve price being met. 

History of the vehicle - I purchased the car in South Florida where (it is my understanding), the car was originally acquired by its primary owner in 1995/96 up until a few years ago when he transferred title to his family in Georgia.  I can tell the original owner cared for this car as it has been well kept.  The family sold the car to an auction house and was subsequently purchased by a Miami dealer and sold to me in 2012.  The reason I am selling the car is simply because I don't drive it enough to justify the vehicle storage which is limited at my home.

Maintenance - The car is stored in a climate controlled garage and has never seen snow or ice.  According to a relative of the original owner, the car was maintained by a Porsch facility in Miami.  I spoke to the mechanic that maintained the car and he remembers the car and its owner.  He stated that the original owner was meticulous about the maintenance of this vehicle and verbally gave an overview of the regular services preformed.  He could not release the service records since they included personal information on the owner.  I also had the car inspected  by another Porsche shop in Miami and it checked out.  Since I do not possess the maintenance records, I took the car to a local Porsche dealer/service center this summer and had an inspection done as well as the extensive 30,000 mile recommended maintenance (per the manual),  just in case it did not get done previously.  I also had new Michelin tires installed. I will include the receipts for the recent service and new tires to the new owner.  Also included is the original owners manual, 2 keys with fobs, spare tire and wheel lock.

Overall the car is beautiful, runs strong and there are no mechanical issues that I am aware of.  The interior of this car is in excellent condition.  The paint color (Polar Silver), is really nice and still shiny but has normal wear and tear as the car has been driven for 18 years.  There are some small blemishes and stone chips in the paint only noticiable up close and obtained in the normal course of driving.

Shipping - Buyer is responsible for the cost and arrangement of shipping.

Payment - A $2,000 deposit is due 48 hours after the auction ends with the remainder due within 7 days of the auction ending in the form of a bank cashiers check.  Once full payment has been received and cleared, the title and keys will be sent and the car can be picked up. 

THIS VEHICLE IS BEING SOLD AS IS WHERE IS WITHOUT WARRANY OF ANY KIND. 

Serious buyers only are welcome and encouraged to inspect the car in person before bidding.

Thanks for your interest.

Petrolicious studies the purity of a Porsche 911 2.7 RS

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

Water-cooled Porsches are superior to the old, air-cooled models. This really isn't up for debate, despite the mob of Porsche purists, with pitchforks and torches in hand, currently descending on the Autoblog offices. Water-cooled models are more powerful and easier to live with, two factors that make modern Porsches just so darn amazing.
And while we won't hear arguments on anything we've written above, we will say that the old air-cooled models, while not superior, are just, somehow, better. They sound better - a lot better. They're simple, elemental and wildly entertaining things, that just beg for more and more. They rev in a way that forces drivers to work to unlock their power, rather than just push their right foot down. Part of the appeal of air-cooled Porsches, in addition to what we just listed, are the gorgeous cars they're slotted into, like the subject of the latest video from Petrolicious.
Starring a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS, this video is a bit shorter than recent ones, but it's no less exciting. This 911, complete with it's sweet-sounding exhaust is the kind of simple, entertaining thing we can watch over and over. Scroll down for the full video.

Porsche releases special edition 911 GTS Club Coupe

Wed, Jan 21 2015

Porsche is never afraid to add one more variant of the 911 to the lineup, but its latest inclusion to the range is being kept extra limited, to keep things super special. The automaker is building just 60 examples of the 911 GTS Club Coupe, and only members of the Porsche Club of America can order them. The organization fittingly celebrates its 60th anniversary this year. Prices for 59 of the cars start at $136,060, plus $995 destination, with deliveries in June, and club members can win the last car (the showcar) as a prize. Mechanically, these vehicles take the 430-horsepower engine, wider body and rest of the updates from the regular 911 GTS, but all of these come in a unique color called Club Blau. The cobalt shade gets set off with black frames around the bi-xenon headlights, tinted taillights and black chrome exhaust outlets. The limited coupes also get a vintage-inspired ducktail rear spoiler and 20-inch Sport Classic wheels in a mix of semi-gloss black and polished metal that evoke the look of the classic Fuchs wheels on older 911s. For added contrast inside, the seat stitching, seat belts and tachometer are offset in red. Plus, the trim for the dashboard, doors and center console features carbon fiber. Capping things off, a plaque reading "GTS Club Coupe 60 Years Porsche Club of America" is near the glovebox. Being a Porsche, there are still options on these special models. The Extended Club Coupe Package goes so far as to include the key painted in Club Blau and adds leather-edged floormats. A custom car cover is also available. Check out the gallery to pick out all of the stylish tweaks for these celebratory 911s. GTS CLUB COUPE REVEALED IN THE NEW PCNA HEADQUARTERS AT ONE PORSCHE DRIVE Porsche celebrates 60th anniversary of Porsche Club of America with limited-edition 911 model Atlanta. Celebrating six decades of the largest Porsche club organization in the world, Porsche Cars North America is commemorating this milestone with a 60 unit limited-production run of the Club Coupe based on the 911 Carrera GTS. Known as the GTS Club Coupe, the 430 hp sports car is painted in a color unique to this model appropriately named "Club Blau," which was created exclusively for this anniversary edition by the Porsche Club of America.
