 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera Convertible

This is a 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera that is in the process of undergoing a custom wide body transformation.
This car just needs a little bit more time and it can be finished into a gorgeous show car.
The car comes with a clean history report and clean NYS Title. I have posted with this listing a picture of the car in its original state prior to modifications. As you can see the car was an original non damaged car to start with. The convertible top operates perfectly, the car runs and drives 100%. The only modifications made are to the body. The car has its original hood (with proper Porsche stickers adhered by factory). The interior of the car is immaculate and all original.  I have some miscellaneous parts that will come with the car as well for the completion of the project. The bumper has mesh inserts that can me painted the same color as the car or a contrasting color. 

I have a lot of pictures of the car as it went thru the upgrade process that I will include with the sale of the car.

The following upgrades have been made:

BODY KIT:
The Body Kit came from Better Bodies Motor Sport in San Diego CA.
betterbodiesmotorsport.com 
This kit is the 996 GTR 750 Wide Body Kit
Kit includes:  front bumper, front and rear flares, side rockers, GTR rear bumper
with an MSRP of  $3200.00
996 Twin Turbo style rear quarter air ducts w/splitters custom designed for the Stock 996
with an MSRP of $350.00

The body kit has been installed on the car. Original front and rear fenders cut and body kit epoxied onto the original body. Rockers have been installed and custom brackets made for support. Rear custom air ducts have been measured and put in place. Custom brackets were made for the bumpers and the bumpers have been sanded and adjusted for custom fit so that body lines match. The hardest part and  most time consuming part of the the installation of a body kit has already been done.

DOORS:
These lambo vertical doors are a labor and pocket book of love!
The hinges are from LSD-Doors
Part #50071002  MSRP $3988.99
This gull wing door kit allows you to open your original doors in Lamborghini Style. In the course of installation the factory hinges have been replaced with vehicle specific LSD fittings.
These doors operate perfectly, they have been professionally installed and the doors have been rewired so that all door options operate as they were meant to (power windows, power locks etc.)
During the installation process a replacement washer reservoir is needed and has been installed on this car as well.
Part #68520006  MSRP   132.00

WHEELS:
The rims are 19" Porsche Wheels in Black and Chrome finish. Made from strong aircraft quality aluminum.
USA RIM MSRP: $1495.00

TIRES:
Front:    Falken FK-452  235/35/19
Rear: Falken FK-452  315/25/19
MSRP: $1400.00
These tires are brand new!
 
Spacers were bought from Better Bodies Motorsport for the upgraded wider wheels and tires. We put 1 inch spacers on the front of the car and 1.5 inch spacers in the rear.
MSRP $99.00 each  Total of $496.00

CALIPERS:
All 4 Calipers have been professionally powder coated in Red paint. Porsche Decal placed on them and then clear coated.
Cost:  $1200.00

EXHAUST:
Custom dual Stainless Steel Exhaust

The doors and the hood are factory. They have been prepped and primed due to having some minor stone chips in the original paint. 

This car is a great way to have a project car but not have to start from scratch. The most expensive portions have been completed already!
Just a little more labor and paint and it will be good to go! More than $50,000 invested so far, between car, parts and labor.

I reserve the right to advertise and sell the car locally and end auction early if necessary. The car is being sold "as is". Please view pictures and ask questions prior to bidding.

Porsche Panamera gets new diesel in time for Frankfurt

Tue, 03 Sep 2013

Diesel may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Porsche, but in the European market - that vital one which Porsche calls home - diesels are indispensable. Particularly when you're trying to extend beyond niche sports cars and into the mainstream luxury sedan market as Zuffenhausen has with the Panamera. In fact, diesels account for 15 percent of Panamera sales worldwide (even though they're not offered Stateside), so to keep oil-burning customers happy, Porsche has announced a series of upgrades.
Set to be unveiled in the flesh at the fast-approaching Frankfurt Motor Show, the new Panamera Diesel packs 300 horsepower. That's 50 hp (or 20 percent) more than the model it replaces, significantly dropping the 0-62 sprint from 6.8 seconds to 6 flat, and raising top speed from 152 miles per Autobahn-crunching hour to 161. While they were at it, Porsche's engineers also fitted the rear differential with torque vectoring (previously reserved for gasoline-burning models) and retuned the transmission and suspension.
You can delve into the press release below for all the details - including the new model's improved towing capacity! - but the reality, for better or worse, is that the Panamera Diesel isn't offered here. So if you've been celebrating Labor Day (or even Labour Day, for our friends to the north) like we have, don't go looking for it at your local dealer, who will have only a Cayenne Diesel to show you instead.

Race Recap: 2013 Petit Le Mans draws curtain on the ALMS [spoilers]

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

The 16th Petit Le Mans Powered By Mazda, in the final year of the American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón, was run on Saturday. Even though many of this year's championships had already been decided, the last ALMS race ever would be a 10-hour, 1,000-mile slog around Road Atlanta to get names in the record books and decide a few series trophies.
Since some of you will only get around to your TIVOs (or Fox Sports coverage) today, you should stop reading now if you don't want to know who did what...

Porsche 911 RSR stops just long enough to have its photo taken

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

When it comes to Porsche and its rapidly escalating endurance racing program, all eyes may be on the new 919 Hybrid - and with good reason: that's the vehicle with which Porsche will be challenging the likes of Audi and Toyota for wins in the top-tier LMP1 class of the FIA World Endurance Championship and at Le Mans. But it's the 911 RSR that does and will continue to form the backbone of the factory's effort.
The 470-horsepower racing version of the road-going 911 took a one-two finish in its class at Le Mans last year, and also won its class at the Daytona 24 this past January as well. This year Porsche will field two of them in the WEC, another two in the United SportsCar Championship here in the US and will sell countless more to customer racing teams that will undoubtedly continue to rack up trophies in racing series around the world. This, then, might be a unique chance to see one standing still. Check it out in our gallery of live images above from the Geneva Motor Show.
