Up for sale is my 1977 Porsche 911S with 993 body conversion. The car looks very nice and draws a lot of attention in my driveway. This has been a project car for me for the last several years but with the arrival of my third child, and getting a good deal on a newer 911, I have lost interest in completing the work needed to finish the vehicle. When I purchased the vehicle, the car was running and driving, but smoked. After driving it for several minutes, the smoke resolved and the car drove great with transmission, brakes, and engine all functioning properly. After that, I parked it to finish the body conversion. Three kids later, the motor will start but runs rough and smokes. I have attempted to find a Porsche mechanic in town but have been unsuccessful so I do not know what issues the car is having although I expect they are minor. The car does not run well enough to drive onto a trailer. I also think a caliper is beginning to stick a little. The car was stored in a garage in dry west Texas. Rust is not an issue.
Exterior: The car was originally yellow and has been plastidipped the same color to match the door jambs. The car looks nice from a distance but has plenty of small blemishes up close. The plastidip can be easily remove to finish out the car however you like. The lights are in fairly good shape with some small chips in the rear reflector and turn signal. The lights have not been wired. The harness is there but the connectors have not been spliced on. Tires still have some tread on them and the wheels look nice. The hood emblem is brand new. The sale will include the parts for the motorized spoiler but it has been removed secondary to clearance issues with the ducting on the motor. There is a chip in the front windshield but no cracks.
Interior: Seats look nice with no rips or tears. Power windows and wipers function. Stereo does not function. Sunroof motor works, but the cable is not functioning. Apparently this is common, and is fixed fairly easily. A book will be included that explains the process. There are a couple of small tears in the headliner that should be easy to repair.
Engine: The previous owner states the motor was rebuilt in 1999. He acquired the vehicle from the garage which sold it to him in a lien sale. The smog equipment has been removed which improves power and dependability of the motor but will be an issue if you your state requires smog testing for this year vehicle. The stock muffler is used but modified to 2 out and the exhaust tips are tack welded on.
Misc: The battery is a couple of months old and a new fuel pump was installed. A lot of work has been done on the car but there is plenty left to be done. The car includes the factory space saving spare and trunk carpet as well as a couple of Porsche project manuals. Winning bidder may also purchase a carbon fiber RS wing for an extra $300 or a fiberglass Turbo S wing for $200. Neither are painted to match. The title is bonded but has no liens. The previous owner never had the car switched to his name because it would not pass smog in California. He had owned it since 2000 and I have had it for a few years but did not get the title in my name until recently in order to sell the car. I will respond to questions as quickly as possible. I have tried to be as detailed as possible about the condition of the car, but this is a project with many small tasks which need to be completed. With a little work, this will make someone a fun vehicle. This is a no reserve auction, so the high bidder takes it home. Buyer responsible for pickup and shipping. Thanks for looking and happy bidding.

Porsche creates 'symphony' with seven generations of 911
Wed, 02 Oct 2013At Porsche, things are getting a bit wild on the 50th anniversary year of the 911. To celebrate it (again) in yet another inventive way, the automaker has called on the musical talents of seven generations of the rear-engine sports car (please suspend your disbelief, at least for the length of the video, and assume that generation two started in 1974) to perform a song that has eight notes. We're wondering which 911 is pulling double duty...
But before the Porsches are lined up for the short recital, the drivers let loose and drift them inside a hangar. Watch the video below, and tell us in comments which was more impressive: the song or the drifting.
Porsche acquires Kyalami race track at auction
Mon, 28 Jul 2014With more victories under its belt than any other manufacturer, you could say, in a figurative sense at least, that Porsche owns countless numbers of race tracks around the world. But here we're not talking about figuratively owning a track - we're talking about literally buying one. And Porsche has just bought Kyalami.
Kylamai, for those unfamiliar, is a grand prix circuit near Johannesburg in South Africa. Between 1967 and 1985, and again in '92 and '93, it was home to the South African Grand Prix, and has since hosted a variety of local and lower-level international races, but apparently fell on hard times. As a result, the track's owners - listed as Universal Property Professionals - put it up for auction. Bidders had to deposit four million Rand (about $380k) to participate, but after just 50 seconds, the auction was over.
The winning bid was placed - via telephone from the local press launch for the Macan - by Porsche South Africa CEO Toby Venter, who bid a reported 205 million rand (about $19.5 million) to take over the complex. The German automaker's South African division reportedly intends to keep the track open for racing, but could also be expected to use the facility for testing, customer track days and such moving forward.
Porsche 918 Spyder officially priced from $845K, Weissach package $84K more
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Porsche has released official pricing for its entire lineup of 2013 models, which just happens to include the upcoming 918 Spyder hybrid supercar. The 795-horsepower advanced-technology-lab-on-wheels is now officially confirmed to have a starting price of $845,000 in the US, which is the exact amount we were told earlier when we had the opportunity to ride shotgun in some 918 Spyder pre-production test vehicles.
What we didn't know at the time was the cost of the Weissach trim package, which is a high-performance upgrade to the standard vehicle that includes the deletion of some interior amenities and addition of lighter-weight carbon fiber appointments, magnesium wheels, flame-resistant upholstery, racing belts and aerodynamic aids - it's meant for track-going folk who intend to use their 918 Spyders as God, country and manufacturer intended.
All told, the Weissach package should drop the 918 Spyder's curb weight by some 80 pounds, while also lightening your wallet of an additional $84,000 - the car's MSRP with the Weissach package is $929,000. These prices don't, however, include destination charges, which, for something like the very limited edition 918 Spyder (only 918 will be made), could very well cost considerably more than your average Porsche.
