77/98 Porsche Carrera 911 Convertible on 2040-cars
South Lake Tahoe, California, United States
|
This is a rare version of the 1998 Porsche Carrera 911/993. Completely restored by wealthy doctor who owned the '77 for 35 years and wanted to update it a newer look. It is rebodied to a 1998 with all factory parts(not aftermarket). He had all the interior changed out to 1998 including dash, instruments, door panels, seats, the newer style rear jump seats with the 3 point seat belts instead of the old lap belts, a fully power top from 1998, wheels, the newer powerful 3.6 engine. Only the transmission and chassis are 1977. It has a clean title that has it listed as a 1977 so it is very cheap to insure and register.
It is a 5 speed and weighs only 2500 lbs as opposed to the standard '98 which weighs 3400 lbs making it very quick and it pulls 278 horsepower. It does not have a heater, air conditioner, or smog equipment. We now have only our California home and so can not keep the car. It will not pass smog so you need to register it in a place that doesn't have smog laws or you need connections. It is a blast to drive and is a head turner. Please call if you'd like to see it- We are located on the South Shore of Lake Tahoe, Ca. and I keep the car in my hangar in Minden, Nv. Five three-zero 318 295zero. Thanks for looking and I'm happy to answer any questions. On May-05-14 at 07:19:26 PDT, seller added the following information: Mileage stated incorrectly, sorry, just over 79k. Restoration done at 58k, we purchased car with 68k. In the 5 years we've had the car we've put only 11k miles on it due to our much too short driving season. The car has been garaged or hangared. Only things done to car since we received it is oil changes, new alternator, new top of the line Alpine stereo and speaker system with amp(sounds amazing), and a new battery this week.(prior battery was a 2005, it was time). Car runs great and is a blast to drive. It will be sold as is with no warranty implied or otherwise. We had it shipped in from Salt Lake City, Utah to Reno, Nv and it cost us $400. Kind of give you an idea of what it might cost to get it to you. Interest in the car has been fantastic, thank you, Any questions at all, please let me know. |

Studiotorino shows new Cayman-based Moncenisio sports car
Mon, 24 Mar 2014While the recent bankruptcy of Bertone shows that it has become very difficult to be a coachbuilder today, it seems there is still a business case in creating unique bodies for premium vehicles. Case in point, Studiotorino a small, Italian coachbuilder that has been creating limited-edition cars since 2005. Its latest creation is the Moncenisio, which debuted as a prototype at the National Automobile Museum of Turin on March 21. It's named after the 1902 Susa-Moncenisio race in Italy, the first automotive hillclimb in the world.
The Moncenisio begins life as Porsche Cayman S, and each car will be built to order with a planned production run of 19 examples. The chassis, mechanicals and engine are all left untouched. The only thing that Studiotorino alters are the body panels and interior appointments. Prices start at at a heady 145,000 euros ($200,420 US), plus the cost of the donor vehicle.
Architect Daniele Gaglione penned the shape of the Moncenisio, taking inspiration from the 1963 Porsche 904. The sports coupes receive carbon fiber pieces that replace the front bumper, side panels and rear bumper. Studiotorino also covers the rear side windows with welded metal panels. The design is still clearly a Cayman, especially from the front, but the extended roof and support pillars create a new look from behind, which features a new exhaust treatment and rear spoiler. The interior receives leather upholstery on the engine compartment cover, the partition between the engine and seats, ceiling and A-pillars. Scroll down to view a walkaround of the Moncenisio and read the full press release about it.

Porsche's baby Panamera delayed until 2019 or later
Tue, 15 Jul 2014If you're enticed by the idea of a Porsche sedan but find the Panamera to be too big, your hopes may have been raised by the development of the so-called Pajun. But don't get those hopes up too much, because the latest word coming in from the Old World has it that the Panamera Junior has been delayed.
The Pajun was (and theoretically still is, despite tardiness) a project to apply to the Panamera the same winning formula that Porsche used to transmute the Cayenne into the smaller Macan. Its size would be closer to the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes E-Class than the larger Panamera, and employ an array of six-cylinder engines.
The smaller five-door was set to be the cornerstone of Porsche Product Strategy 2018, a plan that included several new models to be launched within the next four years. However, reports now indicate that the Volkswagen Group is counting on Porsche to help bolster its profits and is not keen on investing in new products at this time, pushing the Pajun and other projects back until 2019 at the earliest. Although much of the strategy remains undisclosed, it is believed to include (or have included) a sub-Boxster sports car and a supercar to slot in between the 911 and the 918 Spyder. There was also talk of a shooting brake version of the Panamera based on the Sport Turismo concept pictured above. What will become of those projects, however, remains to be seen.
