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!

Singer 911 gorgeousness explored and experienced by Chris Harris
Thu, 17 Jan 2013Few things get us as cranked up as a Porsche 911. Generation after generation, this rear-engined oddity has exhilarated our senses, and the new 991 is the most capable iteration yet. Even so, there's a lot to be said for the older models, from their lighter weights and more modest dimensions to their air-cooled thrums.
That elemental vintage Porsche appeal hasn't been lost on Los Angeles-based Singer Vehicle Design, which has endeavored to take the best bits from every generation of 911 and combine them into one impossibly sexy rear-engined machine. Based on a 964 donor car, we knew that a lot of work would need to go into everything from the structure to the bodywork to realize the Singer's cohesive aesthetic and dynamic vision, but we didn't know just how much until we watched this Drive video featuring Chris Harris. The auto journo gets time with the 350-horsepower, Cosworth-motivated coupe on both mountain passes and at the track, but what could be the most interesting thing about the 27-minute-long video is his in-depth plant tour.
Check it out by scrolling below, but not before paging through our new Singer 911 gallery.

The exotic '80s: Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus and the Porsche 959
Thu, Apr 9 2015There's no secret that we are big fans of the MotorWeek Retro Review series around here. In an automotive world that often focuses on the latest tech and what's coming in the future, it's refreshing to take a look into the past to get a new perspective. That said, the show is really outdoing itself this time by posting a full episode from the '80s to YouTube, complete with the original, jazzy opening. The video is an absolute standout, too, with drives of some of the best supercars that Europe could offer at the time. Among the now classic sportscars that MotorWeek got to drive are the Ferrari 328, Lotus Esprit Turbo, Lamborghini Jalpa and Autokraft AC Mark IV. There's even a preview that sings the praises of the tech in the Porsche 959. The episode is basically a showcase of most of the exotics from young enthusiasts' walls and school folders during the '80s and is not to be missed.
