This is not an inexpensive 993. There are several of those around as these vehicles approach 20 years of age. Most are fixed as they break leaving the owner having to put in lots of time and money and unable to truly appreciate the experience.. This Porsche was reconditioned with no expence spared. It was originally a US car and I chose the year 1995 to make sure that an SAI light issue would never occur. I have repaired several of these systems and they can be very expensive to clean out. All of the work was done by myself ,I would trust very few others to work on my car. The pictures tell the story of the effort to make this car as perfect as I could. Three years later there is not a single drop of oil leaking from anywhere. I just replaced all the pads ,rotors and sensors with OEM parts as you can see in the photos. I do not have time to drive this car so it is time to go to a new home. Although it is not cheap it is still a gift in this condition. The factory tan sport seats with matching red backs are in excellent condition. The 3 spoke custom leather wheel with red stitching is beautiful. The original goes with the car as well as the original front splitters.
Some recent major things done(last 10k-3yrs) It ran perfectly before this work was done. This is preventive maintenance. -New clutch,DMF and related components -Rebuilt alternator -Rebuilt distributer -Most hoses and oil lines new -new flywheel and speed sensor -All seals and gaskets replaced -new euro factory shocks and springs -sheet metal powder coated -fan and fan housing powder coated -new fan bearing -new engine wiring harness -new Beru red plug wires (custom made),caps and rotors,plugs -new factory brakes all around -new premium engine pad(ultimate) -new engine knock sensors -new a arm bushings -windshield and all corner lenses replaced by previous owner -previous owner had wheels refinished -clutch slave and hose replaced -fuel injectors professionally cleaned and spec tested -new recent battery -All hydraulic valve lifters replaced ( that causes the clack clack sound for a few seconds when you start a 993 from cold if you have more than 60-75k on it. The original factory ones just dissolve over time.) lots more On 14-Sep-14 at 18:46:19 EDT, seller added the following information: People have inquired about the recent brake work. It was completed last week and included removal , inspection of calipers. Removal ,cleaning and polishing of sliders. Reassembly with Porsche spiders (antisqueal clips) and OE pads. Full brake flush with new Premium dot 4. New OE Zimmerman coated /drilled rotors. On 15-Sep-14 at 11:57:37 EDT, seller added the following information: A person has requested information about the ultimate engine pad. This is a US manufactured replacement for the OE pad that you see lying on the top of most 993 engines. It is more expensive than the OE and is made of three materials. A foil back a felt inner and a special rubber outer. It is marketed as The Ultimate Sound Pad. Guaranteed not to fall apart like the original. Most of the cars suffer from this and in many cases the photo shots of the cars are at an angle that you can't make it out until you get your new car and open the engine compartment and see the pieces all over the engine. It is on even low mileage cars as it is a time thing not a mileage issue. You need to pull the engine and remove a lot of hoses ect to do a decent replacement job. You have to question when you hear of an engine rebuilt and see the pad in pieces on the new engine. That gives you an indication that it was done on a budget. Porsche engine tight budget rebuilds??? At almost twenty years most rubber parts are finished ,hence the need for preventive replacement or pay the price. A question came in on the rubber convertible top seal that goes above the windshield and down around the doors. It has been replaced with the Porsche part. $800. The top works and seals as good as new. On 15-Sep-14 at 23:45:43 EDT, seller added the following information: Of Note I have been told that the third number in my serial # is number 0 not the letter O as in the listing. So to confirm from my Porsche certificate of Authenticity WP0CA2991SS342944 |

Man arrested for stealing part of Paul Walker Porsche wreck
Fri, 06 Dec 2013Humans are odd creatures. Some of us collect things associated with bad events, particularly when it comes to cars. Your author, for example, has the grille of his wrecked 2004 Mini Cooper S hanging on the wall. As a more extreme example, an 18-year-old Californian is in trouble with the LA police, but not for taking an item from his own car accident. Instead, he has been arrested for stealing from the wreck of the Porsche Carrera GT that killed actor Paul Walker and racer Roger Rodas.
And it wasn't a small piece, either. It was the Carrera GT's carbon-fiber roof panel. Making matters worse is word that the theft happened while the tow truck that was hauling the wrecked Porsche was sitting in traffic. According to the LA Sheriff's Department report, "A witness saw a male exit a vehicle that was following the tow truck. The male grabbed a piece of the wrecked Porsche off the tow truck bed." Besides the eyewitnesses, it didn't help that images of the roof panel were later posted on Instagram.
The man, Jameson Witty, was later arrested at his home, where police also found the roof panel. The driver of the car Witty was in when he took the roof panel, meanwhile, is planning on surrendering to the police, according to CNN. It remains unclear if the district attorney's office will charge the two, although if it does, they'll be facing felony grand theft and tampering with evidence.
2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed statue unveiled
Thu, 11 Jul 2013Each year at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, a single marque is celebrated with a large and ornate "Central Feature" sculpture, with recent automakers including Audi in 2009, Alfa Romeo in 2010, Jaguar in 2011 and Lotus last year. This year, Porsche gets the honor, and it is using the opportunity to commemorate 50 years of the 911.
The sculpture features three generations of the 911 towering over the Goodwood House. The most recent 991 911 has the lowest position, with an original 1963 car second highest and a 1973 2.7 RS at the top of the pile. Be sure to check out the sculpture for yourself in the gallery of images above.
Porsche 911 GT3 dukes it out with MP4-12C on track and GT-R on spectacular roads
Thu, 22 Aug 2013The Porsche 911 GT3 has always been a favorite among auto journalists and car enthusiasts alike, but with the introduction of the new 991-generation GT3, which is the first GT3 with electric power steering and no manual gearbox option, how does it stack up to the competition from McLaren and Nissan?
Evo's Jethro Bovingdon attempts to answer that question by pitting the rear-engine Porsche against the mid-engine McLaren MP4-12C on a racetrack and the front-engine, all-wheel-drive Nissan GT-R on some amazing, twisty European back roads. We won't give away the victor of either comparison, but we will say that, in Evo's test, the McLaren's 141-horsepower advantage doesn't give it as much of an edge over the Porsche on a racetrack as one might think, and the lack of a manual gearbox and the inclusion of electric power steering on the GT3 isn't detrimental to enjoying the car on a back road.
Watch the video below to find out which car Bovingdon prefers on road and track - we think you'll be happy to see him drift around turns every chance he gets.
