1997 Porsche 993 Turbo Look Cabriolet- Conversion on 1981 Targa Chassis

 

Up for sale is my beloved project car.  Job situation is changing and I need to sell.

It has always been my dream to own the car Porsche never officially made, the 993 Turbo Cabriolet.    A true turbo entry fee is $50,000++ so to fulfill my fantasy, I bought the next best thing, a conversion.

According to the appraiser who looked at this car, it may have been done by Precision in CA., but he never could confirm it.

 

Here are the details:

All Steel fenders and flares

993 Interior

993 turbo-look spoiler

2002 Turbo Wheels with Hankook V12's- see pics

1987 3.2 Carrera engine with 915 5-speed trans  Approx. 117K miles

Chassis mileage unknown- Odometer reads 70k

New Convertible top

New Battery

New front wheel bearings

Sale includes Convertible Boot (blue) and convertible cables that came with the car when I bought it

Aftermarket exhaust- car sounds great

 

The car is  conversion on an '81 chassis and was 95% complete when I bought it.  I have restored a few things and its a good driver.  The car still needs a few things done to be a daily driver.   I want to note here that if you are wanting to buy a "perfect" Porsche 993 that you can park in the garage, wax on the weekends, and are afraid to drive because a bug might scratch it, this is not your car. Go back to the bank, because you will need to pay 3 times my reserve and should keep looking.  With that said, if you want a car that gets tons of attention, looks good, and will require some time and a little money to be really solid, then read on.

 

If I was keeping the car, here is my "short list" of what it needs:

Rear Wheel bearings need replaced- over time, spacers cause them to wear out and they get noisy

Syncro in 2nd gear is worn

Odometer does not work

Headliner needs installed- existing headliner comes with sale

Convertible top cables need replaced- a pair comes with this sale, but I cannot verify the working condition of them

Bumper seals need replaced

Windshield needs replaced- small crack across drivers side

Cracked dash

Stereo needs hooked up

Needs A/C compressor and heat boxes

Climate control has small crack on it

Alarm and power door locks needs hooked up-

If I was keeping the car, eventually I would have it repainted.  The paint is shiny, but there are chips, cracks and nicks.

Door cards need attention

 

I have not had a compression test on the car.   I have attempted to put as much info on here about the car as I can, but may have missed something, so if you have any questions please ask BEFORE bidding!!

 

Low reserve, so someone is going to get a good deal on a great car!!

 

Thanks and Happy Bidding!!!

New Porsche 4-cyl engines to range from 1.6L to 2.5L

Mon, 02 Jun 2014

Recent rumors of a turbocharged, flat-four-engine from Porsche for the Boxster (pictured testing above), Cayman and maybe other models go back over a year. The latest scuttlebutt indicates that there could be three variants on the horizon with 1.6-, 2.0- and 2.5-liter displacements and power as high as 360 horsepower.
Car magazine in the UK claims to have access to the specifications for the project and thinks the 2.0- and 2.5-liter versions are guaranteed for production for the Boxster and Cayman. However, it believes a question mark still looms over the 210-hp 1.6L because the engine would go into a new, smaller sports car that still doesn't have a green light for production.
Regardless of displacement, the new fours would be turbocharged and direct-injected. The 2.0-liter would produce around 286 hp and 295 pound-feet of torque, and the 2.5-liter would make about 360 hp and 347 lb-ft. Earlier reports pegged some parts sharing with the current flat-six.

2015 Porsche Cayman GTS

Thu, 29 May 2014

The Porsche Boxster and Cayman will forever nip at the heels of their big brother, the 911 Carrera, and perpetuating this tradition are the latest GTS variants, which add yet another arrow to the quiver of the plucky mid-engined platform.
The GTS' performance enhancements boost horsepower by a mere 15 and shave a tenth from 0 to 60, but Porsche's clever product planners and engineers have stuck to their familiar formula in making the Cayman GTS more desirable than the Boxster for dyed-in-the-wool performance enthusiasts. More on that shortly.
Laps around Spain's Circuito Mallorca RennArena and the nearby Serra de Tramuntana mountain range would shed further light on how the GTS differentiates itself from lesser Caymans.

Porsche Boxster/Cayman GTS, Macan, 911 Targa details leaked

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

The folks over at Jalopnik have published some rather interesting images from what looks to be a presentation held inside Porsche's North American headquarters in Atlanta, GA. What these leaked photos reveal is pretty significant - details about several of the brand's upcoming launches, including GTS versions of the Boxster and Cayman, a new 911 Targa, and information about the Macan crossover that will debut at this year's Los Angeles Auto Show. Of course, none of this information has been officially verified, but it all looks and sounds pretty believable to us. So, let's dig in.
First up, Porsche will launch the Boxster and Cayman GTS models at next year's Beijing Motor Show in April. Upgrades for the GTS models will include a 15-horsepower bump, standard manual transmission (with optional dual-clutch PDK), standard Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and a slightly quicker 0-60 time. Jalopnik reports that these models will cost around $75,000.
We've spied the soon-to-be-revealed Porsche Macan (pictured right) on several occasions, and these slides suggest that the small crossover will have two different types of turbo power under its hood. The Macan S will use a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6, while the Macan Turbo will use a 3.6-liter unit. Seven-speed PDK transmissions are expected to be fitted to both, and this leaked information states that the new, small Porsche will cost $52,000 and $75,000 for the S and Turbo versions, respectively.
