The day of picture taking does not show the color well so I added one picture from when I purchased the car and Florida.
Also the color shows much better in the videos;

Up for sale is a 1996 Porsche 911/993 C2 coupe. Beautiful Midnight Blue metallic color and with approx. 45K miles with a salvage title.
This has been my project car and future DE car since 2007. I purchased this car in West palm Beach FL from an ad in the Autotrader.
I purchased the car knowing it had a salvage title from 1999 with 18,599 miles (see Carfax), but after having all original Porsches before I wanted a car I would not be concerned with keeping original.
The individual I purchased the car from was not straight forward on the history so I do not know the history of the car. It is a running project.

The starting price reflects what I believe to be the salvage value of the car: engine+tranmission+rolling chassis.

It is licensed in NC under an emission waiver.The reason for the waiver is a faulty DMU that the local Porsche dealer is unable to read.
The car runs great and the strength of the engine was reason I then drove the car from West Palm Beach to NC (approx 772 miles).
It has never failed to start and leaks no oil.

I no longer can find the time to continue this project.

My ambition was to convert the car to a RS clone. The car has been lowered by a previous owner and the BF Goodrich GForce tires are fairly new.
The car has a new clutch with maybe a 2K miles on it. The transmission shifts well as long as you don't hurry it. Both the steering wheel and shifter have the RS style equipment.
I purchased Sparco Torino seats to replace the originals and have the paqssenger seat installed. I have the drivers side Sparco and all the installation hardware to complete the seat swap.
Interior of the Porsche is gray with black and there is some wear on the seat.  The dashboard is fine as is the carpet.

Overall: The Good.

Strong reliable, engine. (great candidate for a 914-6!).
Good transmission.
Handles great and is fast.
All lights work accept missing passenger side door overhead light switch.
Paint in overall very nice shape.
Brakes work fine but will need rotors and pads at some point.
AC worked up until last year and most likely needs recharge.
The car is road ready and can be driven anywhere.

The Bad. (...but is a Project car).
Salvage title
No factory spare but have a 964 spare.
Spoiler curtain just developed a tear. Speed sensitive spoiler though works fine.
Curb rash on Passenger side wheels
Heat does not work. Passenger side heat exchanger had a hole in it (previous owner). Have replacement exchanger and heater tubes.
Passenger side rear inner fender shroud missing. (removed to drain oil to front exchangers and lost by previous owner)
Curled the bottom lip of the rear bumper cover causing a tear in the cover. Replacement cover provided.
Struts for front and rear lids need replacing.
Radio antennae to windshield is broke (has factory radio).

The price reflects what I believe to be the salvage value of the car: engine+tranmission+rolling chassis.
The car cannot be restored to new condition but those wanting to enjoy a drivable Porsche project car.... it is well worth the money I'm asking plus more.

Before you place a bid please call me or email me with any questions.

The car is sold as is without any warranty. You are welcome to do pre-purchased inspections before the auction ends.

The 2014 Ruf RCT offers rear-drive action with 911 Turbo fun

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Ruf has 37 years of experience of turning Porsches into even higher performance machines. For the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, it's unveiling the RCT, or Ruf Carrera Turbo, which offers power to split the difference between Porsche's 911 Turbo and Turbo S models.
The RCT starts with a unique body kit with a new front air dam and drastically changed rear deck that combines both a small spoiler and air intake. Power is provided by a twin-turbocharged, 3.8-liter flat-six with 525 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque paired to either a seven-speed manual or seven-speed dual clutch transmission. That gives the Ruf a 5-hp and 15-lb-ft advantage over Porsche's own Turbo but is still less powerful than the full Turbo S. The RCT sprints to 62 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds and to a top speed of 196 mph.
However, the Ruf's big advantage is that it offers buyers the choice of either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, while Stuttgart's turbo models are only available spinning all four wheels. The RCT can also offers upgrades like an integrated roll cage and custom suspension packages, should the buyer be so inclined to splash out on racing kit.

Porsche continues facelift spree with 911 Turbo

Fri, 24 Jan 2014

If there's ever been automotive case for constant evolution, it is the Porsche 911. It seems like every time a new version of the rear-engined sports car debuts, Porsche is already hard at work on a facelifted version of it that changes some subtle, barely noticeable aspect.
Such is the case with this round of images of a facelifted 911 Turbo, which was seen undergoing winter testing alongside the facelifted, hardtop-version of the 911 Cabriolet we showed you yesterday. The new, 991-based 911 Turbo was just unveiled in May of 2013.
Like the Cabrio from yesterday, both the Turbo and naturally aspirated models shown here feature additional slats at the rear of the car, right behind the rear wheels. These slats on the standard model lend credence to what we learned yesterday - that even the regular 911 models could end up getting turbocharged mills.

Porsche offering short-term loans to Macan waitlisters

Wed, 02 Jul 2014

Walk into a Porsche dealer today, place an order for a Macan and you'll be looking at a waiting period of six months or more before you can expect delivery. That may be common enough for high-end European automakers, but the Macan is meant to lure new buyers to the brand, and the waitlist could be enough to deter them from sticking around.
The solution? Offer to lease them a Boxster or Cayman until their new Macan arrives. Shorter in term that the usual new-car lease, these six-month terms are designed to keep buyers from turning their backs, all the while experiencing the kind of vehicle Porsche does best.
Of course it doesn't hurt that the dealer then gets a used sports car to sell again once the short-term lease is up. And we wouldn't be surprised to see some buyers asking to hold on to their mid-engined sports car for a little longer, either.
