 Here's a 1999 996 C2 with slightly less than 68,000 miles. The car holds a California salvage title but there is no Carfax history to explain why. I own a body shop and we cannot tell why the car would have been salvaged, the only evidence of any body work is a driver's side quarter panel and rear bumper cover which have been repainted. The paint work does not extend into the door jamb and there is no evidence of tub repairs anywhere, no marks where a puller was used or evidence of any replaced suspension parts. It aligned perfectly and has held that alignment for the last 7000 miles of driving.

The car was purchased at a dealer auction in Texas then brought to California. It was bought by a dealer for his son but the son decided to buy another car. I bought it from the dealer with all the auction paperwork and the Texas salvage title. I have used the car as my daily driver and parts chaser for the last 7000 plus miles and the car runs and drives great, no issues. I have not done anything but change oil and replace the rear tires.

The car is bone stock except for the CCW wheels (I don't want to sell them separately) and a set of H&R Sport springs, which I installed here at my shop. It also has a Kenwood stereo with a CD changer in the trunk. There are a considerable number of small stone chips on the nose and someone closed the hood on something leaving a small pointed dent facing outwards. The struts that hold the hood up need replaced, the console lid is missing and the remote locks are not working. Otherwise the car is quite clean overall, the interior is very nice with no rips or tears in the seats and everything else works. The front tires are 245/40/18 Blacklions with 7000 miles and the rears are 315/30/18 Pirelli P Zeros with 900 miles.

The car has no leaks and I have no evidence to suggest the IMS bearing was done. However, after doing all the research myself I decided it was not worth the time and effort to replace it, especially considering the car is a 1999.

It has been a good car and very reliable, also handles great and the gearing is absolutely perfect. This has been my first Porsche and overall I have been impressed with the car.

 An ebay member Googled the VIN for this vehicle and discovered the following information, some of it conflicting. I am listing everything both he & I found but I cannot vouch for any of it to be true. The only information I know to be true is what I have described above.

1. A 1999 996 Carrera 2 108,xxx miles bearing this vehicle VIN was sold at a wholesale auction in May of 2013.
2. A 1999 996 Carrera 2 with 61,xxx miles bearing this vehicle VIN was sold at a wholesale auction in July of 2013.
3. A 1999 996 Carrera 4 with 108,xxx miles bearing this vehicle VIN was sold at a wholesale auction in May 0f 2013.
4. An AutoCheck report was run on this vehicle and there was very limited information available, however it does show a mileage reading of 61,xxx miles in May of 2013.

Obviously, some of this is true and some is not. I am sharing this information in the interest of being totally transparent.

Michael Jordan's cars showcased in 'The Last Dance' documentary

Sun, May 10 2020

After the masses begged and pleaded for an early release, ESPN finally unlocked the doors to the biggest production in company history last month. Episodes 1 and 2 of The Last Dance, a 10-part documentary special about Michael Jordan, the Chicago Bulls, and the 1997-1998 season, was released at last on April 19, 2020. Each week since, two new episodes have aired on Sunday nights, and the next two, episodes 7 and 8 are scheduled to drop this weekend on May 10. With unprecedented video access to MJ, who became averse to the media during his playing days, a byproduct from The Last Dance is a look at some of Jordan's cars. The Goat's taste ranges across a number of brands, but they all had one thing in common: performance as a top priority. Below, we have listed the rides that have already appeared in the series, and each week, we will update with new car cameos. Chevrolet Corvette C4 The photo above somewhat epitomizes one of the themes of The Last Dance. Everybody, whether that was men, women, children, franchise owners, reporters, coaches, teammates, or opponents, wanted a piece of Jordan. If that meant stopping in the middle of the road to get an autograph, then so be it. Around town, MJ was fairly easy to spot due to his flashy cars that occasionally wore Bulls red. Jordan has driven numerous Corvettes throughout the years, but the C4 is unique in that it was Chevy's top ride when Jordan signed an endorsement deal with the American company during his rookie year in 1984. Two famous photos, one in front of the Chicago skyline, show him standing next to a C4 with the license plate "Jump 23." This exact car, however, came later, as indicated by the squared-off taillights. He went on to star in a number of Chevrolet commercials with vehicles such as the Blazer and S-10 pickup truck. Chevrolet Corvette C5 The most notable Corvette His Airness ever owned was likely the C4 40th Anniversary ZR-1, but he also drove a C5 coupe at one point. Roughly nine minutes into the first episode, Jordan is seen driving the chrome-wheeled targa top into the parking lot at the Berto Center, the Bulls old practice facility.   Ferrari 550 Maranello Roughly three minutes into episode four, viewers get a glimpse of Jordan's exotic taste in the form of a red Ferrari 550 Maranello.

Vintage 911 sacrificed in the name of fashion

Fri, Jul 31 2015

People routinely suffer in the name of looking good, whether through a pair of uncomfortable, stylish shoes or a nice shirt that doesn't breathe in the summer heat. Rarely is a vintage sports car the recipient of this sartorial pain, though. In a bizarre, short video from the fashion label Rag & Bone, an old Porsche 911 is the one taking all of the damage in the name of being chic. And it's really painful to watch. Give this video a few seconds to get going because it starts very weird (fashion!). Black smoke billows up through a hole in a harshly lit white room, and a woman keeps switching outfits. If the attempt at being artsy isn't painful enough, things get really traumatic for Porsche fans once the 911 appears on screen. Seeing a classic car get destroyed hasn't been this harrowing since the government publicly destroyed an illegally imported, classic Mini last winter. Thankfully, this 911 was reportedly just a shell, according to Jalopnik. Although even if that's the case, the body looks to be in great shape, and from the tiny glimpse through the windows, the interior even looks largely intact. This coupe might have been a pretty good restoration candidate if not for the massive hunk of concrete crashing through the roof to make a fashion video.

Porsche Macan spied, all lit up and dodging flurries

Thu, 17 Jan 2013

We'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.
