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!!!

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.

Porsche finally gives up the goods on 2014 Macan

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Preparing a beachhead in the marketplace for the 2014 Porsche Macan crossover has been a years-long project for the German company. We've been hearing and reporting on rumors of the vehicle from its ideation stage and have covered the Macan's birth thoroughly over the last 12 months, including teasers, rumors, spy shots, leaked videos and more. Now, just ahead of the LA Auto Show-debut of Porsche's first-ever compact crossover, the wait for details is at an end.
Porsche will offer the crossover in two flavors to start: Macan S and Macan Turbo. The S model will be fitted with a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine that makes 340 horsepower and will push the vehicle from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 5.2 seconds, then on to a top speed of 156 miles per hour. The Macan Turbo has even more impressive figures on all fronts: an all-new, 400-horsepower, twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 engine; 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds; top speed of 164 mph. Both models make use of Porsche's seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission as standard.
As impressive as these potent powertrains are the brakes Porsche is fitting to its new crossover. Six-piston monobloc fixed-caliper brakes live up front, grabbing 13.78-inch discs on the S model and tremendous 14.17-inch discs on the Macan Turbo. We're expecting serious stopping performance, to say the least.

Roger Rodas' widow suing Porsche over Carrera GT crash

Tue, 13 May 2014


Investigations undertaken by local law enforcement may have vindicated Porsche from any wrongdoing in the crash that killed actor Paul Walker and racing driver Roger Rodas last year, but the latter's widow is apparently not convinced. According to emerging reports, Kristine Rodas has filed a lawsuit seeking unspecified damages from Porsche Cars North America.
In her suit filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court, Rodas' attorney Mark Geragos reportedly disputes the findings of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, which asserted that the vehicle was traveling at an unsafe speed of 90 miles per hour on city streets, identifying the speed as the cause of the accident. Instead the lawsuit claims that the vehicle was only going 55 mph and that the cause of the crash was improper equipment - namely a faulty right rear suspension and the lack of a crash cage and proper fuel tank.
