1999 Porsche 911 Carrera Wide Body 996 Convertible Project Show Car on 2040-cars
Hamilton, New York, United States
1999 Porsche 911 Carrera Convertible This is a 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera that is in the process of undergoing a custom wide body transformation. This car just needs a little bit more time and it can be finished into a gorgeous show car. The car comes with a clean history report and clean NYS Title. I have posted with this listing a picture of the car in its original state prior to modifications. As you can see the car was an original non damaged car to start with. The convertible top operates perfectly, the car runs and drives 100%. The only modifications made are to the body. The car has its original hood (with proper Porsche stickers adhered by factory). The interior of the car is immaculate and all original. I have some miscellaneous parts that will come with the car as well for the completion of the project. The bumper has mesh inserts that can me painted the same color as the car or a contrasting color. I have a lot of pictures of the car as it went thru the upgrade process that I will include with the sale of the car. The following upgrades have been made: BODY KIT: The Body Kit came from Better Bodies Motor Sport in San Diego CA. betterbodiesmotorsport.com This kit is the 996 GTR 750 Wide Body Kit Kit includes: front bumper, front and rear flares, side rockers, GTR rear bumper with an MSRP of $3200.00 996 Twin Turbo style rear quarter air ducts w/splitters custom designed for the Stock 996 with an MSRP of $350.00 The body kit has been installed on the car. Original front and rear fenders cut and body kit epoxied onto the original body. Rockers have been installed and custom brackets made for support. Rear custom air ducts have been measured and put in place. Custom brackets were made for the bumpers and the bumpers have been sanded and adjusted for custom fit so that body lines match. The hardest part and most time consuming part of the the installation of a body kit has already been done. DOORS: These lambo vertical doors are a labor and pocket book of love! The hinges are from LSD-Doors Part #50071002 MSRP $3988.99 This gull wing door kit allows you to open your original doors in Lamborghini Style. In the course of installation the factory hinges have been replaced with vehicle specific LSD fittings. These doors operate perfectly, they have been professionally installed and the doors have been rewired so that all door options operate as they were meant to (power windows, power locks etc.) During the installation process a replacement washer reservoir is needed and has been installed on this car as well. Part #68520006 MSRP 132.00 WHEELS: The rims are 19" Porsche Wheels in Black and Chrome finish. Made from strong aircraft quality aluminum. USA RIM MSRP: $1495.00 TIRES: Front: Falken FK-452 235/35/19 Rear: Falken FK-452 315/25/19 MSRP: $1400.00 These tires are brand new! Spacers were bought from Better Bodies Motorsport for the upgraded wider wheels and tires. We put 1 inch spacers on the front of the car and 1.5 inch spacers in the rear. MSRP $99.00 each Total of $496.00 CALIPERS: All 4 Calipers have been professionally powder coated in Red paint. Porsche Decal placed on them and then clear coated. Cost: $1200.00 EXHAUST: Custom dual Stainless Steel Exhaust The doors and the hood are factory. They have been prepped and primed due to having some minor stone chips in the original paint. This car is a great way to have a project car but not have to start from scratch. The most expensive portions have been completed already! Just a little more labor and paint and it will be good to go! More than $50,000 invested so far, between car, parts and labor. I reserve the right to advertise and sell the car locally and end auction early if necessary. The car is being sold "as is". Please view pictures and ask questions prior to bidding. |

1974 Porsche 914 EV conversion still looks good
Thu, Jan 23 2014Looking through the pages of the EV Album is a great way to learn about the breadth and depth of the electric vehicle community. Branching well beyond the three dozen or so electric vehicles that are currently sold by major automakers in the US, EV Album showcases lots of DIY conversions of all types. A 1995 Fiat Cinquecento? Check. A 1992 Kewet Eljet 2? No problem. The site's old-fashioned looks (it was started in 1997) show just how long people have been passionate about their EVs. Many of the cars are throwbacks to a previous time and we found a prime example of that, a converted 1974 Porsche 914 (EV Album page here) this week. Now powered by a Prestolite MTC4001 Series Wound DC motor and some flooded nickel-cadmium batteries, the 914 has a top speed of 80 miles per hour and a range of 35 miles. But only "if you are taking it easy," of course. The motor has a peak output of 60 horsepower and 25 hp continuous. Converted over 600 hours (!) to electric power at a cost of $10,000, it is now owned by Charlie Garlow of Maryland. The car is on display at the Washington Auto Show this week and serves as a great reminder of what most EV drivers used to have to do to drive emissions free.

Former Porsche boss Wiedeking won't face criminal charges over VW bid
Mon, 28 Apr 2014Hedge fund managers have been suing Porsche for years now, alleging that the car company lied about its intentions during its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen, a gambit that caused them billion in losses. Over the same period, authorities in Stuttgart built a criminal case against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above, left) and Chief Financial Officer Holger Härter (right), filing charges in December 2012. When those fund plaintiffs lost their most recent court case, one of the dimming lights in the dark and receding tunnel was that the criminal investigation might unearth more evidence about Porsche's actions that could help the plaintiffs in pending litigation.
Bloomberg reports that another light has gone out, though, with a Stuttgart court dismissing the market manipulation case before going to trial because, as a court spokesperson said, "there wasn't enough evidence backing up the charges." When prosecutors get the files back from the court, they have a week to decide to refile, but unless they've been sandbagging evidence that could bolster the case, the only lights at the end of the tunnel will be those welcoming Wiedeking and Härter back to the world of legally unencumbered men.
Driving the Panamera and Mike's Rant | Autoblog Podcast #487
Thu, Sep 8 2016This week we cover some recent news like the upcoming Land Rover Discovery, updates to FCA's large car platform (including the Challenger), and talk about water injection. Then we go into what we've been driving - David just finished his time in the Porsche Panamera Turbo and Mike tried the GMC Acadia. And then Mike (who is still uncomfortable writing in the third person) goes on a rant about why automakers shouldn't specify which cars are aimed at women. The rundown is below.
