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. |

Porsche Cayenne, Panamera production halted by flooding
Thu, 06 Jun 2013If you recently ordered a Porsche Cayenne or a Panamera, delivery may take a little longer than originally expected. Automotive News reports that production of both models has been temporarily halted at the Porsche assembly plant in Leipzig, Germany as the result of supply shortages caused by flooding in the nearby Czech Republic. The reason for the stoppage is that the body of the Cayenne - currently Porsche's best-selling model - is produced at a Volkswagen plant in the Czech city of Bratislava and shipped by train to Leipzig.
The report does not indicate why Panamera production has been stopped - that the five-door's body is made at a separate location in Hanover, Germany. However pre-assembly will continue on these models. At full capacity, the Leipzig plant can produce about 450 vehicles per day, and it isn't clear how long this weather-related stoppage will last.
Porsche Macan caught completely uncovered
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Porsche is preparing to launch its sub-Cayenne CUV, with a suspected debut at the 2013 Los Angeles International Auto Show, which means we're right about at the point where undisguised models start scampering around the cities and towns of Germany. Our spy photographers snagged just such a model, with only the headlights and taillights concealed by camouflage (no, those comically large lamps aren't a production item).
The undisguised car looks like a tiny Cayenne. Not really surprising, we know, but it's impressive to see how the Cayenne's styling works with the smaller proportions of the Macan. It looks squat, athletic and poised, like it's a small, "sporty" crossover we'd actually want to drive. Both the Macan and the Macan Turbo are shown, with the more powerful model sporting a set of quad exhausts.
The only big questions now concern the shape of the lights and the interior. From the photos, we can see a rough outline of the headlights, although the taillights are more difficult to discern. The interior remains a mystery.
Porsche Fire and Ice is chilling art born of flames
Wed, 01 Jan 2014Porsche held a contest inviting ten filmmakers to riff on the tagline for the Panamera, "Thrilling Contradictions," in a 60-second film. The winner was an entry called Fire and Ice by director Ross Cohen, a concept that uses just those two elements in a premise as simple as it is rewarding. For his efforts, Cohen will receive a trip to the Chicago International Film Festival, and you might see the short in the pre-movie advertisements in a theater served by Spotlight Cinema Networks.
Porsche did this kind of thing just two years ago, when it asked filmmakers to illustrate the idea of "Everyday Magic". The winner of that contest, Michael Korbel's It's a Magical Life, followed the journey of a young man to husband and father from the perspective of the trunk of a 911. You'll find that video as well as Fire and Ice below.
