 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.

Magnus Walker soliloquizes in his Porsche 911 at night

Fri, 23 Aug 2013

Magnus Walker, a prolific Los Angeles clothing designer who has also carved out a respected spot for himself in Porsche world, has had yet another video made about him and his sizable Porsche collection. In this latest video, Hong Kong-based Obscura magazine focuses its video cameras on Walker and his 1971 Porsche 911 track car (yes, the one that appeared on Jay Leno's Garage) as he speeds around Downtown LA and Little Tokyo late at night.
We've heard Walker's story many times before. He's not like the average Porsche owner, perhaps a tad more passionate than most, and he builds 911s like he designs clothes: his way. Sure, we might be a little envious, but can you blame us? View this very slick and entertaining nighttime video entitled Disturbing The Peace below.

Porsche offers design walkthrough of Panamera Sport Turismo

Thu, 03 Jan 2013

The Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo was arguably the best concept car of 2012, and Porsche has been building upon that momentum by teasing us with videos of its first-ever station wagon design. After showing us some driving shots of the Sport Turismo, Porsche released a more in-depth and behind-the-scenes look at what it took to take the Panamera shooting brake from a full-scale clay model to the final product we saw on stage at the Paris Motor Show. In the video, Michael Mauer, Porsche style director, and Mitja Borkert, general manager advanced design style, both give a little insight about what went into creating the Sport Turismo Concept.
More than just a station wagon version of the Panamera, the Sport Turismo has a totally distinctive look nose to tail. Some of the key elements the designers touch on in the video include the Porsche-signature raised front fenders, the wide rear shoulders, the front wing inspired by the 918 Spyder, and even some of the car's unique touches, including the headlights and the three-dimensional "Porsche" lettering across the liftgate made from glass. One of the more exciting aspects of the concept - which is sadly just glossed over in the video - is the rear liftgate spoiler that features "variable aerodynamics" that sounds like it acts similar to the retractable spoiler on the current Panamera.
We still don't know if the Panamera Sport Turismo will make it into production, but if you want to see what went into creating this exciting concept car and see the different build phases designers went through to create the Paris show car, check out the video by scrolling below.

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.
