Up for sale is a 1996 Porsche 911/993 C2 coupe. Beautiful Midnight Blue metallic color and with approx. 45K miles with a salvage title.
This has been my project car and future DE car since 2007. I purchased this car in West palm Beach FL from an ad in the Autotrader.
I purchased the car knowing it had a salvage title from 1999 with 18,599 miles (see Carfax), but after having all original Porsches before I wanted a car I would not be concerned with keeping original.
The individual I purchased the car from was not straight forward on the history so I do not know the history of the car. It is a running project.
The starting price reflects what I believe to be the salvage value of the car: engine+tranmission+rolling chassis.
It is licensed in NC under an emission waiver.The reason for the waiver is a faulty DMU that the local Porsche dealer is unable to read.
The car runs great and the strength of the engine was reason I then drove the car from West Palm Beach to NC (approx 772 miles).
It has never failed to start and leaks no oil.
I no longer can find the time to continue this project.
My ambition was to convert the car to a RS clone. The car has been lowered by a previous owner and the BF Goodrich GForce tires are fairly new.
The car has a new clutch with maybe a 2K miles on it. The transmission shifts well as long as you don't hurry it. Both the steering wheel and shifter have the RS style equipment.
I purchased Sparco Torino seats to replace the originals and have the paqssenger seat installed. I have the drivers side Sparco and all the installation hardware to complete the seat swap.
Interior of the Porsche is gray with black and there is some wear on the seat. The dashboard is fine as is the carpet.
Overall: The Good.
Strong reliable, engine. (great candidate for a 914-6!).
Good transmission.
Handles great and is fast.
All lights work accept missing passenger side door overhead light switch.
Paint in overall very nice shape.
Brakes work fine but will need rotors and pads at some point.
AC worked up until last year and most likely needs recharge.
The car is road ready and can be driven anywhere.
The Bad. (...but is a Project car).
Salvage title
No factory spare but have a 964 spare.
Spoiler curtain just developed a tear. Speed sensitive spoiler though works fine.
Curb rash on Passenger side wheels
Heat does not work. Passenger side heat exchanger had a hole in it (previous owner). Have replacement exchanger and heater tubes.
Passenger side rear inner fender shroud missing. (removed to drain oil to front exchangers and lost by previous owner)
Curled the bottom lip of the rear bumper cover causing a tear in the cover. Replacement cover provided.
Struts for front and rear lids need replacing.
Radio antennae to windshield is broke (has factory radio).
The price reflects what I believe to be the salvage value of the car: engine+tranmission+rolling chassis.
The car cannot be restored to new condition but those wanting to enjoy a drivable Porsche project car.... it is well worth the money I'm asking plus more.
Before you place a bid please call me or email me with any questions.
The car is sold as is without any warranty. You are welcome to do pre-purchased inspections before the auction ends.

Porsche undecided on new 911 GT2 [w/poll]
Thu, 23 Jan 2014Fans of hardcore 911s had it pretty good with the last 997 generation. There was the GT3, GT3 RS, GT3 RS 4.0, GT2 and GT2 RS (pictured above). Each one was faster, more powerful and more expensive than the one below it, but what they all shared was what Porsche purists love most: rear engine, rear drive, a manual transmission and little else.
So far with the new 991, Porsche has only released a GT3 version. Sure, there have been other models, but they're all decidedly more luxurious and less performance-focused. And as impressive a machine as the new GT3 is, it has run the risk of alienating some of its most ardent fanatics with technological interference in the form of a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and four-wheel steering. So what those purists have really been looking forward to is a more hardcore GT3 RS or new GT2. But those may not be coming so quickly.
Speaking with 911 project chief August Achleitner, Car and Driver reports that a new GT2 is anything but a foregone conclusion. The reasons may be partially political, but could be technical in nature as well: with 560 horsepower driving all four wheels, the new 911 Turbo S runs the 0-60 in less than three seconds. Give it more power but less traction, as Porsche has done with past GT2s, and you may not end up seeing an actual improvement in performance. A GT2 that's slower than the Turbo S would be difficult to explain.
Porsche digitally dissects its 918 Spyder for your viewing pleasure
Wed, 02 Oct 2013At this point, you'd think we'd know all there is to know about the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder - except what it's like to drive - but Porsche has released a new video giving us a more in-depth look at its new plug-in hypercar all the same. The animated video gives us numerous cutaway looks at the 918 Spyder while giving a visual demonstration of the car's four hybrid driving modes.
Though nowhere near as exciting as watching the 918 blast around the Nürburgring in record time, this new video is nonetheless both interesting and informative. Scroll down to watch the video yourself, and be sure to check out our live gallery of the production version of the car along with a stock gallery.
EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi
Sun, 25 Nov 2012EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.
