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.

2014 Porsche 911 GT3 and GT3 Cup step out early
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Though Porsche won't be feeding us the full 911 enchilada until tomorrow's Geneva-based festivities, we have managed to scare up some official images of the 2014 911 GT3, as well as the all-new 911 GT3 Cup. As Porsche is celebrating 50 years of the 911, we anticipate a good day for great cars.
The new GT3 looks every bit the proper successor to the racy 911 nameplate, with a fixed rear wing large enough to serve cocktails on, a curvaceous body kit and 20-inch wheels that offer a dominating on-road stance. It's a good bet that Porsche will have coaxed something like 450 horsepower from the naturally aspirated, 3.8-liter flat-six engine that hangs over the car's rear axle. A seven-speed manual and Porsche's own PDK transmission are the likely gearbox offerings.
Should the mental quickness and imposing wingery of the standard GT3 not be enough for you, future racecar driver, Porsche is also bringing a GT3 Cup car to Geneva. The German automaker has given just a few scant details about this Cup car - 460 hp on tap, a production run of just 2,400 units - including three images of the kitted out racer. Certainly more and finer details will emerge, when Porsche shines the spotlights on its new 911s tomorrow.
Porsche slathers Martini livery on 911, Panamera, Macan and Cayenne
Mon, 20 Oct 2014This is how we imagine the conversation went in Porsche's Stuttgart headquarters: "Martini livery. Martini livery all the things." Okay, so maybe not, but that hasn't stopped Porsche from showing off images of its entire lineup bearing the iconic racing livery.
While we aren't sure about the questionably yellow 911 and lime green Macan, the navy blue Cayenne and the white Panamera both look pretty spectacular as they lap about the streets of Sochi, Russia.
As for why the liveried sports cars and crossovers were at the site of the 2014 Winter Olympics, we aren't totally sure. Porsche's Facebook page, where the images first popped up, was really light on details. Whatever the reason, we fully support Porsche doing more with Martini livery. Take a look at the full gallery to see what we mean.
Porsche Macan spied, all lit up and dodging flurries
Thu, 17 Jan 2013We've seen the upcoming Porsche Macan testing on surface roads and even on the Nürburgring, but here we have our first spy shots showing a disguised prototype doing some winter testing in snowy conditions. Still obscured by plenty of camouflage attempting to mimic its larger Cayenne sibling, we still can't get a clear look at what the Macan's face and rump are going to look like, although it does appear that some details for the front lighting are starting to emerge.
Below the headlights, those are obviously decals trying to look like turn signal lenses, but it appears that there is still some sort of lighting being hidden judging by the small circles cut into the camo. Lower in the fascia, we can also see there are LED running lights not revealed on past prototypes. The entire rear end of this Macan prototype still appears to be tacked-on camo, but the side view appears to be in production form save for the poorly disguised rear quarter windows.
As we've seen in the past, Porsche engineers are still testing the Macan alongside the Audi Q5 with which it shares its platform. There has been no word as to when we could expect to see the Macan in production or concept form, but we'd have to guess that this compact crossover is getting ready to shed its camo very soon.
