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.

The pre-race and first in-race report from Le Mans

Sat, 22 Jun 2013

The 2013, 90th anniversary edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans has begun, tragedy marking the opening laps with the death of Allan Simonsen. We're at the track now as a guest of Audi and plan to stay through the evening, and even we haven't been able to find out what caused the accident - the only video is from just after the incident, and beyond the statement from ACO there's been no more news. The Aston Martin in the LM GTE Am class and its all-Danish drivers had taken pole in its class and was one of the favorites to win.
The pre-race report will come first, and even thought we can't spoil the race because we're only five hours into it at the time of writing, we'll put all of the news at the end in case you don't even want the updates.
Or you can go straight to the high-res galleries above.

VW will reportedly offer cash to cheated diesel car drivers

Sun, Nov 8 2015

If you're feeling burned by Volkswagen's decision to cheat on diesel emissions tests, you might get some compensation for your troubles. Sources for The Truth About Cars understand that VW will launch a "TDI Goodwill Program" that compensates diesel car drivers with cash in the form of prepaid cards. In the US, you'd get both a $500 universal card as well as a VW-only card worth $500 to $750. The automaker isn't confirming details just yet, but it tells the New York Times that it's planning an announcement on Monday. Dealers also tell the newspaper that they're aware of a program in the works, although they don't know the specifics. It may not include the expanded range of cars reportedly tainted by the scandal, though, since VW is denying claims that it cheated with some models. This isn't the only olive branch VW has been offering: it's been handing out deals to existing owners willing to hop into new vehicles, and there are more discounts than usual across the board. However, the goodwill effort would represent the first instance of VW directly compensating drivers who'd previously thought they were getting an eco-friendly machine. This isn't going to make up for years of unnecessary pollution, but it may represent the company's best hope of holding on to customers.
