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!!!

10 most memorable cars and SUVs of 2019

Tue, Dec 24 2019

It's no surprise that a car reviewer will drive a large number of cars over the course of a year. Indeed, when the clock strikes midnight on Dec 31, I will have driven 75 new cars, trucks and SUV this year (and one old Peugeot) over the course of weekly evaluation loans and first drive events. That sure seems like a lot. Some definitely got more attention than others, and some came and went without leaving much of an impression – I completely forgot I drove a Kia Forte. Yet in the spirit of this day, I thought I'd pick the 10 that I would love to see under the Christmas tree tomorrow morning. You know, just in case you were looking to get me something. I'll also throw in a couple disappointments that were memorable for the wrong reasons. They'd get sent back to the store on Boxing Day. Lexus LC 500 Pictured below and resplendent in its Flare Yellow metallic paint, the car that would reach highest on my list is the divine Lexus LC 500. As a devout lover of GT cars, the LC ticks all the boxes. Muscular and characterful engine? V8, check. Beautifully made and memorable interior? It's gorgeous, to hell with Remote Touch. Check. Comfortable and reasonably practical? Superb seats and, uh, yeah. Makes me want to stand there and stare at it? You bet. Though I long figured my heart would say LC but my head "Porsche 911," after this go-around, that's no longer the case. LC, pretty please. 2020-lexus-lc500-f34-2 View 19 Photos Polestar 1 I actually feel lucky that I got to drive the Polestar 1. Only 150 will be produced each year, and it's a far more special thing than it would initially appear. And that's despite initially appearing to be a beautiful, classic two-door GT car with a roof so rakish it's only possible because it's made of carbon fiber. That itÂ’s a massively powerful plug-in hybrid with more all-electric range than any other PHEV is a thick dollop of whipped cream on a slice of Toscakaka. You know, Swedish dessert, Swedish car. Fine, I'll stick to Ikea references.  Polestar1_Launch_SanFrancisco-0014 View 44 Photos Volvo V60 Cross Country Speaking of Sweden, did I drive this car off the road there? Sure did! And despite this, the V60 Cross Country scratches that certain wagon itch and looks sensational to boot. I wish it were available with the T8 plug-in hybrid powertrain, but it's best not to get greedy at Christmas.

Man arrested for stealing part of Paul Walker Porsche wreck

Fri, 06 Dec 2013

Humans are odd creatures. Some of us collect things associated with bad events, particularly when it comes to cars. Your author, for example, has the grille of his wrecked 2004 Mini Cooper S hanging on the wall. As a more extreme example, an 18-year-old Californian is in trouble with the LA police, but not for taking an item from his own car accident. Instead, he has been arrested for stealing from the wreck of the Porsche Carrera GT that killed actor Paul Walker and racer Roger Rodas.
And it wasn't a small piece, either. It was the Carrera GT's carbon-fiber roof panel. Making matters worse is word that the theft happened while the tow truck that was hauling the wrecked Porsche was sitting in traffic. According to the LA Sheriff's Department report, "A witness saw a male exit a vehicle that was following the tow truck. The male grabbed a piece of the wrecked Porsche off the tow truck bed." Besides the eyewitnesses, it didn't help that images of the roof panel were later posted on Instagram.
The man, Jameson Witty, was later arrested at his home, where police also found the roof panel. The driver of the car Witty was in when he took the roof panel, meanwhile, is planning on surrendering to the police, according to CNN. It remains unclear if the district attorney's office will charge the two, although if it does, they'll be facing felony grand theft and tampering with evidence.

Porsche Australia price cuts in excess of $36,000 irks customers

Tue, 04 Jun 2013

Have you ever gone to the store, only to become irked after learning that the new [*insert widget here*] that you bought just last week has gone through a price drop? If you're particularly thrifty, even if it's only a couple of bucks, you probably brought in your receipt to see if the store would issue you a credit for the difference. Now, imagine that the widget in question isn't a minor purchase, it's a Porsche - and the price drop isn't just a few bucks - it's thousands.
That's the unhappy scenario that recently faced a number of Australian luxury car buyers and the uncomfortable conversation awaiting the German automaker. According to GoAuto, Porsche Australia recently whacked up to $36,000 off the price of its models in order to jumpstart sales Down Under - the Panamera range itself saw cuts between $5,500 and more than $36,000. The aggressive price cut was a strategy designed to drive sales of more than 3,000 cars locally, a yearly goal originally set for 2018, but now hoped for as early as 2016.
Australia is known for its comparatively high car prices, so the dramatic price cuts were undoubtedly welcome news to potential Porsche shoppers. However, around 50 existing customers were understandably agitated by the reductions because they purchased their cars just before the adjustments took effect. Not only did they stand to lose out on the deals, they also had good reason to fear that their new cars' residual values would take a beating.
