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.

UK Porsche GT3 owners are irked that other countries are getting better deals

Sun, 27 Apr 2014

Porsche 911 GT3 owners in the United Kingdom are up in arms, but it's not for the reason you might think. Okay, well it sort of is. See, it's been fairly well documented that 911 GT3 owners have had their cars grounded over concerns that the engines could catch fire. Porsche is rushing to build and install replacement engines in all 800 or so cars, scattered around the globe.
This isn't really the issue. The problem for these British owners is compensation. While the car's have been grounded, car notes still need to be paid. To deal with this, American GT3 owners are being paid $2,000 per month. German owners get 175 euros ($242 at today's rates) per day while a GT3 owner in Dubai is allegedly receiving $12,000 (it's unclear if this is a lump sum or a monthly payment). Basically, if you aren't able to drive your six-figure super car, you shouldn't have to pay for it. Seems reasonable regardless of the make.
British owners, though, aren't being compensated, and for 30 to 35 owners, that's not acceptable. They've banded together and are led by Sunil Mehra.

Hyundai, Porsche top J.D. Power APEAL study

Thu, Jul 24 2014

Just as they did in the Initial Quality Study, Porsche and Hyundai have taken the premium and non-premium crown, respectively, for the 2014 J.D. Power APEAL study. This is the tenth consecutive year for that Porsche has been rated the best premium make in the APEAL study, which attempts to figure out how pleased owners are with their purchases. For 2014, it asked 86,000 owners of MY2014 cars to rate their vehicles in 77 different categories 90 days after their initial purchase. The resulting figures were plugged in deliver the APEAL score, which is rated on a 1,000-point scale. The industry average sits at 794 points for 2014, although that's a one-percent decline over last year's rating. In this year's study, premium brands averaged 840 out of 1,000, while non-premium makes average 785. For their part, Porsche netted an impressive 882 points, while Hyundai earned an 804. Interestingly, only four non-premium brands (Hyundai, Ram, Volkswagen and Mini) finished above the industry average for 2014. It's also interesting to see the clear delineation between premium and non-premium brands, with an eight-point gap between the non-premium champ, Hyundai, and the lowest-rated premium brand, Volvo. Porsche and Hyundai weren't the only automakers to take home recognition. Dodge managed to tie Porsche for the most segment awards, with three. The Challenger, Charger and Dart all topped their market. There were a number of two-segment winners, as well, with Audi, Ford, Mercedes-Benz and Nissan capturing a pair of segments each. Scroll down for the full press release from JD Power on this year's winners. Automakers Struggle to Impress Owners with Increased Usefulness of In-Vehicle Technologies And Features on All-New and Redesigned Models Dodge and Porsche Each Receive Three Segment-Level Awards; Audi, Ford, Mercedes-Benz and Nissan Each Receive Two WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.: 23 July 2014 - Although manufacturers are putting more and more technologies and functionality in their new and redesigned models, satisfaction with these features is not significantly higher among owners of those models than among owners of carryover models, according to the J.D. Power 2014 U.S. Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) StudySM released today. The APEAL Study, now in its 19th year, serves as the industry benchmark for new-vehicle appeal. Owners evaluate their vehicle across 77 attributes, which combine into an overall APEAL score that is measured on a 1,000-point scale.
