This is a wonderfully performing cabriolet Porsche with a rebuilt RUF 3.4 piston engine built by Supertec in California around 2002 with only 6k miles on it now. It has a really strong, tight engine that was obviously built well and at great expense. I actually purchased this car to use the engine in another car, but those plans were not possible to complete. So now its your turn to enjoy this car, it is strong, fast and solid with a 5 speed transmission, something sorely missing in an actual 930 Turbo until 1989. The biggest problem with the car is the paint. Apparently the original owner lived down a 2 mile dirt road and apparently didnt care to much about all of the chips. All the mechanical functions as far as I can tell are fine and work well. I have included in the photos a copy of the Supertec billing showing all the work done, and some of the pics show the block as it was being built. Supertec has one of the best reputations for strong, solid, reliable 930 engines of anyone out there. This one is strong but not overstressed like some of those 800 hp monsters that are just grenades wating to explode. Reliable, fast, and powerful, AND a convertible - what more can one ask? Summer fun is just a "buy it now" away for you and yours to enjoy all summer long.
I believe the car was yellow at one time, and as I have tried to explain the paint is the weakest point of the car, it has a lot of chips but no rust and no large dings or dents. This car as is would be perfectly good for a track car, but for the street you will want to consider some paint repair. There are also a few threads missing from the convertible top where the window is sewn in, but can be remedied easily. I do not have the time or inclination to pursue making that aspect better. The boy racer look will appeal to some, but not to others, I understand that, but this is SUMMER and its time to put the top down and enjoy the rush of that wonderful turbo engine and with the 5 speed trans you will get the flexibility to make driving it a true joy. The flares are steel, but the front and rear valences are fiberglass. Well done, but not to everyone's taste. A few replacement parts such as 964 rockers and valences will take this car from boy racer to really HOT!
Car has what look like genuine Porsche turbo twist 17" wheels and new (less than 1k miles) high performance tires, and they work really well keeping it stuck to the road and making the twisties a joy to take on. Exhaust appears to be stainless and expensive, do not know the manufacturer but you know it did cost a lot. Headers for the 930 are notoriously pricey and this one looks practically new. The chassis might be an 85 but the rest of the car, the important bits are like new.
I believe the history of the car will show it was originally sold in Florida to the fellow in CO I bought it from. Its a Euro delivery car which you can tell by the ZZZ in the VIN. ABSOLUTELY no rust since it went from FL to CO in the year 2001 and then went to Supertec in CA for all the modifications. A personal inspection is possible, car is located in northern Colorado east of Fort Collins in the foothills, but you must make an appointment to see the car.
Since owning the car, Ive put about $7000 in to it at the local Porsche shop. This includes a full mechanical review, new battery, tires (less than 1k miles on them), tune up and some electrical work. The leakdown tests came back fine and the mechanic said it was in good mechanical condition especially considering how long its been in storage. The car registration is current in Colorado and passed the smog tests here.
Car is sold as-is where-is with absolutely no warranty offered, implied or possible. The car is described to the best of my ability, it appears to be to be solid, I know its fast and feels really good in the twisties. Other than the paint I dont believe you will be disappointed. Condition of the Hartz fabric top (I believe) and rear plastic window is very good, and the car comes with a retracted top boot, also black Hartz cloth, like new. Take a look at the photos and let me know if you have any questions, I will do my best to get back to you as quickly as possible and answer your questions as honestly as I know how. Not a Porsche expert as such but have owned several 911-930 cars and know a good one from a bad one. I have a few records but not many, I did not get them with the car.
Porsche has proven to me to be the single most reliable, least troublesome semi exotic car on the planet. Owned Mercedes, Porsches, Audis and other German, Italian and English marques and the Porsche is by far my favorite. Only reason this car is being sold is that my wife says I have too many toys already and says I need to open space in the garage :(
Bidders with zero or feedback less than 5 must contact me before bidding for approval to bid. Your bid will be removed if you do not. This sale is a binding legal contract and all legal means will be untertaken to assure you fulfill your obligation to buy if you are the high bidder. If you dont have the money, PLEASE DO NOT BID. This is not a bid to inspect, full inspections are required before auction ends, payment in full is expected within 3 days of auction end, unless you are overseas as a wire transfer may take longer than that. Prior arrangements must be made before auctions's end. Email me if there is any question about bidding rather than just bidding and assuming we can work whatever out before payment is made.
Car is listed as 1980 because the eBay system will not accept the Euro VIN, but I can assure you it is legitimate, titled as an 85 with the VIN stamped on the panel under the hood, can provide photos of that if required. Not sure what happened since I bought the car on eBay a couple of years ago with the exact same VIN in the listing. Again, this car is cleanly registered in Colorado with a clear title!
Transport is the buyer's responsibility!

The Porsche Boxster and Cayman will forever nip at the heels of their big brother, the 911 Carrera, and perpetuating this tradition are the latest GTS variants, which add yet another arrow to the quiver of the plucky mid-engined platform.
The GTS' performance enhancements boost horsepower by a mere 15 and shave a tenth from 0 to 60, but Porsche's clever product planners and engineers have stuck to their familiar formula in making the Cayman GTS more desirable than the Boxster for dyed-in-the-wool performance enthusiasts. More on that shortly.
Laps around Spain's Circuito Mallorca RennArena and the nearby Serra de Tramuntana mountain range would shed further light on how the GTS differentiates itself from lesser Caymans.

Raiding The Porsche Museum For A Fun Track Day
It seems everyone is celebrating anniversaries this year: it's Aston's hundredth, Lamborghini's fiftieth, Ford Mustang's fiftieth, Chevy Corvette's sixtieth - and Tesla just turned ten or something. It's been a little out of hand, frankly, all these forced marketing festivities, but if we had to pick one milestone to really celebrate hard and party all night, the Porsche 911 would be at the top of our list.
Get ready for a major 911 blowout bash at next week's Frankfurt Motor Show. It was on September 12 back in 1963 at this very show where Porsche unveiled its "901" painted in a rather boring shade of beige. Though drably finished, the car caused a worldwide frenzy in the budding German sports car sphere.

Willy Wonka granted just five lucky Golden Ticket holders access to his incredible chocolate factory, yet we consider ourselves just as fortunate, as Porsche invited us to be among the first of just four American journalists to see behind the closed doors of its 918 Spyder assembly plant in Zuffenhausen, Germany. Of course, there were no Oompa Loompas or flowing chocolate rivers, but the vast white hall tasked with producing only 918 examples of the automaker's limited-production flagship revealed details that make Wonka's Golden Egg sorting room seem rather mundane in comparison. Unlike a traditional automobile manufacturing plant, which often encompass all processes of making a vehicle (e.g., stamping steel panels, welding components and painting), the 918 Spyder is built in an assembly plant. This means that hundreds of already manufactured parts, each crafted by Porsche offsite suppliers, are brought under one roof to be assembled into a perfectly finished product that is much sweeter – and far more expensive – than any candy delicacy. Our tour guide was Michael Drolshagen, Porsche's Director of Production, Logistics and Quality - a walking encyclopedia when it comes to the engineering and assembly of the 918 Spyder. Drolshagen generously offered us unrestricted access to walk among the factory's 110 workers – and a couple-dozen vehicles in process – to photograph everything. This is a story best told with pictures, so we've put together a raft of our best images in a high-resolution gallery and captioned each with a detailed description. If you've still got questions, please voice them in Comments section and we'll do our best to answer.
