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. |

Audi welcomes Porsche back to Le Mans like any sibling would
Fri, 06 Jun 2014Ah, sibling rivalry. It really is a beautiful thing. It's even more beautiful when said siblings are automakers with very, very well-known racing histories. That's how you get videos like this, which is Audi's way of welcoming Porsche back to the top flight of Le Mans racing.
Yes, Audi has taken its R18 E-Tron Quattro back onto public roads, wowing schoolboys and scaring farmers (who appear to be riding classic Porsche tractors), as it travels from Ingolstadt to Zuffenhausen, just to taunt its corporate frenemy.
Take a look below for a video to see just what that teasing looks like.
Porsche gives GT3 owners extra year of warranty, new engines in production April 22
Sat, 12 Apr 2014While the auto industry reels from massive recall after massive recall, Porsche has quietly been working on a fix for an issue that's forced owners of the new 911 GT3 to park their track-ready rockets for fear of an engine fire. Thanks to a leaked letter from Porsche to a GT3 owner (which has been certified as real), we now have an idea of just where the German brand is at with the fix.
On April 22, Porsche will begin production of a new batch of GT3 engines for the 785 affected models across the globe. As you'll recall, the original issue rested with a screw joint that could loosen the connecting rod. The new engines have an "optimized piston rod screw connection," that should keep the connecting rod in place. Once technical validations are completed, production will kick off and new powerplants will be shipped around the globe for owners of the troubled cars.
Porsche will hand out a certificate to owners of affected cars once repairs have been completed, as a means of documenting the work. To make up for the trouble, Porsche will be giving owners an extra year on their new-vehicle warranty, while the 911 GT3 concierge will be reaching out to compensate them for having to park their car for so long.
Gemballa reveals new Porsche 991-based GT convertible
Sun, 16 Sep 2012Gemballa went through the ringer last year, but rebounded with products that signal a complete turnaround. The latest is the recently-released Porsche 911 Carrera S with a Gemballa GT aerodynamics and technology package. Aero-wise, it includes carbon fiber additions beginning with a front bumper wearing the classic Gemballa air intake design and a lower, angrier splitter. New side skirts run from wheel to wheel, the final piece being a rear bumper in three sculpted horizontal sections featuring a rear diffuser tucked between six rectangular exhaust tips.
No engine mods have been made, but the technology part of the tune - springs that are 30 millimeters shorter yet still able to work with the PASM system - is claimed to make the car faster. Bringing things to a halt is a new Brembo brake system hiding behind 21-inch GForged wheels that are lighter than Porsche's standard 20-inchers.
The Gemballa GT aero kit runs €19,860 ($26,070 U.S.), which includes paint and installation if you happen to be in Germany, and we're assuming that includes the suspension modification, brakes and sport exhaust. The GForged wheels are another €9,895 ($12,989 U.S.) depending on your choice of tire. Check out the press release below for more info, and the photo gallery above for all the angles.
