 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.

Top horsepower-per-dollar cars in 2017

Tue, Feb 17 2015

Bang for the buck. That quasi-scientific statistic is bandied about by motor heads everywhere from classrooms to barrooms, though the truth of the matter is that it's exceedingly complex to measure. A fair performance-per-dollar index would include something like cross-referencing MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) with point-to-point times on a track or driving route, which is obviously hard to do comprehensively. But, for the sheer joy of talking about cars and playing with a big spreadsheet, there's always the horsepower-per-dollar index, which is more straightforward, albeit hilariously flawed. There are vagaries even with this simple formula, of course: MSRP for vehicles can change at a moment's notice, to say nothing of the bottom-line shifting that happens with local deals or showroom negotiation. For this list we're running with the straight MSRP wherever possible, and as recently reported as we can get it. All the vehicles on this list are 2017 models, and all trims are reported where the lowest price and differing power levels intersect. Some choices were made for personal preference and some for sanity, avoiding things like all 48 trim levels of the Ford Transit, all with the same horsepower). If this list were a simple top ten, or even a top fifty, you'd be bored to tears with all the red, white and blue that is represented. Following perfectly with conventional wisdom, American cars really do lead the world where hp/$ is concerned. So, for the sake of variety (and the sheer joy of seeing a minivan 'win' one round of this thing) I've sorted out some top five and bottom five lists for broad power categories. Let's dive in. Less Than 100 Horsepower Okay, okay, this is hardly a category we'll grant you. But we've often tried to click off all the sub-100-hp cars on sale in the US, and making this list gave us an excuse. It also illustrates that none of these smallish vehicles bring cheap horsepower to the table - for that you'll need a motorcycle. The segment-leading Chevy Spark (above) asks just over $139 for each hp, and that Smart Fortwo Electric Drive has hp on sale for about the same price as its very distant family cousin, the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG (insert your favorite Smart joke here... we know you want to).

Porsche announces works team for United Sportscar Championship

Tue, 24 Sep 2013

Porsche is undoubtedly the most successful manufacturer in sportscar racing, and it's only upping its game. The German marque is launching its new LMP1 racer for Le Mans in pursuit of overall victory once again, and now that sportscar racing in North America is coming together under one banner in the United Sportscar Championship, Porsche has announced it is entering the fray with a works team here as well.
The new Porsche North America racing team will field two cars in the entire inaugural season of the Tudor United Sportscar Championship that's been formed out of the former Grand-Am and American Le Mans Series. The team will be based out of the Porsche Motorsport North America facility in Santa Ana, California, and will partner with three-time ALMS LMPC winners Core Autosport in getting a pair of the latest 911 RSR racecars to the front of the GT Le Mans class.
Drivers have yet to be announced, but are projected to be drawn out of Porsche's factory driver program, which includes such talents as Patrick Long, Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas and Neel Jani. Keep reading below for the official announcement.
