1997 Porsche 993 Turbo Look Cabriolet- Conversion on 1981 Targa Chassis

 

Up for sale is my beloved project car.  Job situation is changing and I need to sell.

It has always been my dream to own the car Porsche never officially made, the 993 Turbo Cabriolet.    A true turbo entry fee is $50,000++ so to fulfill my fantasy, I bought the next best thing, a conversion.

According to the appraiser who looked at this car, it may have been done by Precision in CA., but he never could confirm it.

 

Here are the details:

All Steel fenders and flares

993 Interior

993 turbo-look spoiler

2002 Turbo Wheels with Hankook V12's- see pics

1987 3.2 Carrera engine with 915 5-speed trans  Approx. 117K miles

Chassis mileage unknown- Odometer reads 70k

New Convertible top

New Battery

New front wheel bearings

Sale includes Convertible Boot (blue) and convertible cables that came with the car when I bought it

Aftermarket exhaust- car sounds great

 

The car is  conversion on an '81 chassis and was 95% complete when I bought it.  I have restored a few things and its a good driver.  The car still needs a few things done to be a daily driver.   I want to note here that if you are wanting to buy a "perfect" Porsche 993 that you can park in the garage, wax on the weekends, and are afraid to drive because a bug might scratch it, this is not your car. Go back to the bank, because you will need to pay 3 times my reserve and should keep looking.  With that said, if you want a car that gets tons of attention, looks good, and will require some time and a little money to be really solid, then read on.

 

If I was keeping the car, here is my "short list" of what it needs:

Rear Wheel bearings need replaced- over time, spacers cause them to wear out and they get noisy

Syncro in 2nd gear is worn

Odometer does not work

Headliner needs installed- existing headliner comes with sale

Convertible top cables need replaced- a pair comes with this sale, but I cannot verify the working condition of them

Bumper seals need replaced

Windshield needs replaced- small crack across drivers side

Cracked dash

Stereo needs hooked up

Needs A/C compressor and heat boxes

Climate control has small crack on it

Alarm and power door locks needs hooked up-

If I was keeping the car, eventually I would have it repainted.  The paint is shiny, but there are chips, cracks and nicks.

Door cards need attention

 

I have not had a compression test on the car.   I have attempted to put as much info on here about the car as I can, but may have missed something, so if you have any questions please ask BEFORE bidding!!

 

Low reserve, so someone is going to get a good deal on a great car!!

 

Thanks and Happy Bidding!!!

Porsche busts out new Boxster GTS and Cayman GTS

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

Baby 911. The poor man's Porsche. That's what they called the Boxster when it debuted some 20 years ago. They said the same of the first Cayman when it arrived a decade later, but they stopped saying it when the latest iterations hit the scene two years ago. That's because Zuffenhausen's entry-level models have long since stepped out of their big brother's shadow and into their own. And that's all the more true of the new Boxster GTS and Cayman GTS.
Based on the Boxster S and Cayman S, the new GTS models benefit from an enhanced 3.4-liter flat six that produces 330 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque in the roadster or 340 hp and 280 lb-ft in the coupe - representing an increase of 15 hp and 7 lb-ft in either model. Both also come with the Sport Chrono package as standard, along with adjustable suspension and 20-inch alloys, blacked out to match the dynamic headlight surrounds and other muted trim.
Those disappointed by the unavailability of a manual transmission in the fire-prone 911 GT3 will be pleased to note that a six-speed manual comes standard, but those enamored of letting a pair of clutches shift themselves seamlessly will want to spring for the optional seven-speed DCT. So equipped and with launch control engaged, the Boxster GTS will rocket from a standstill to 62 miles per hour in 4.7 seconds, while the incrementally lighter, more powerful Cayman will hit it in 4.6. Either way you're looking at a third of a second quicker than the Boxster/Cayman S. There's also a 20-millimeter lowered suspension on offer for track-day enthusiasts.

Next-gen Porsche Panamera snapped running in E-Hybrid spec

Tue, May 12 2015

The Porsche Panamera first debuted back in 2009 and underwent a facelift in 2013. That means the all-new, next-generation Panamera should be arriving in time for the 2017 model year, and here were have our first look at its plug-in hybrid variant. Following the last prototype spotted undergoing cold-weather testing in Sweden, this new Panamera test mule spotted in southern Europe appears to be running the E-Hybrid powertrain setup – judging, at least, by the presence of a second filler cap hiding what's likely an charging port on the left side rear fender. We'll just have to sit tight, however, to find out whether it will be packing an evolution of the existing powertrain or something entirely new. Though the prototype may look largely undisguised, those head- and taillight graphics look like stickers to throw us off the scent, and these do not appear to be production-ready body panels. Expect the finished product to look far more polished when it arrives sometime in the middle of next year, with the hybrid version to follow sometime thereafter.

Son of Porsche 911 designer recalls 1963 Frankfurt debut

Wed, 16 Oct 2013


The Goodwood Revival is described by its presenters as the greatest motorsport racing party of the year. We often focus heavily on the motorsports, but you can't forget about the party. For the first preview of the new 911 Turbo in the UK, Porsche recreated its booth from the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1963 - the time and place of the original 911's public debut.
Porsche's cameras also caught up with Mark Porsche, the great grandson of Dr. Ferdinand Porsche and son of the late Ferdinand Alexander "Butzi" Porsche, who oversaw the design of the 911. Mark Porsche admires the 911's friendly design, which is set off by the round headlights, and says his mother, who was at the original Frankfurt booth in 1963, was milling around the booth at Goodwood - no doubt taking a trip down memory lane.
