1997 Porsche 993 Turbo Look Cabriolet- Conversion on 1981 Targa Chassis

 

Up for sale is my beloved project car.  Job situation is changing and I need to sell.

It has always been my dream to own the car Porsche never officially made, the 993 Turbo Cabriolet.    A true turbo entry fee is $50,000++ so to fulfill my fantasy, I bought the next best thing, a conversion.

According to the appraiser who looked at this car, it may have been done by Precision in CA., but he never could confirm it.

 

Here are the details:

All Steel fenders and flares

993 Interior

993 turbo-look spoiler

2002 Turbo Wheels with Hankook V12's- see pics

1987 3.2 Carrera engine with 915 5-speed trans  Approx. 117K miles

Chassis mileage unknown- Odometer reads 70k

New Convertible top

New Battery

New front wheel bearings

Sale includes Convertible Boot (blue) and convertible cables that came with the car when I bought it

Aftermarket exhaust- car sounds great

 

The car is  conversion on an '81 chassis and was 95% complete when I bought it.  I have restored a few things and its a good driver.  The car still needs a few things done to be a daily driver.   I want to note here that if you are wanting to buy a "perfect" Porsche 993 that you can park in the garage, wax on the weekends, and are afraid to drive because a bug might scratch it, this is not your car. Go back to the bank, because you will need to pay 3 times my reserve and should keep looking.  With that said, if you want a car that gets tons of attention, looks good, and will require some time and a little money to be really solid, then read on.

 

If I was keeping the car, here is my "short list" of what it needs:

Rear Wheel bearings need replaced- over time, spacers cause them to wear out and they get noisy

Syncro in 2nd gear is worn

Odometer does not work

Headliner needs installed- existing headliner comes with sale

Convertible top cables need replaced- a pair comes with this sale, but I cannot verify the working condition of them

Bumper seals need replaced

Windshield needs replaced- small crack across drivers side

Cracked dash

Stereo needs hooked up

Needs A/C compressor and heat boxes

Climate control has small crack on it

Alarm and power door locks needs hooked up-

If I was keeping the car, eventually I would have it repainted.  The paint is shiny, but there are chips, cracks and nicks.

Door cards need attention

 

I have not had a compression test on the car.   I have attempted to put as much info on here about the car as I can, but may have missed something, so if you have any questions please ask BEFORE bidding!!

 

Low reserve, so someone is going to get a good deal on a great car!!

 

Thanks and Happy Bidding!!!

Porsche reveals new Panamera Turbo S ahead of Tokyo debut

Thu, 31 Oct 2013

For many buyers in the market for a luxury sports sedan, style is as important as performance. But while the Porsche Panamera undoubtedly delivers in the latter category, it falls somewhat short in the former. Porsche went to some lengths (if not quite far enough for some tastes) to improve its four-door model's visual appeal with the facelift revealed earlier this year, but now it's time to up the performance game with the new Panamera Turbo S.
Set to be revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show in just a few weeks from now, the new top-tier Panamera benefits from several key upgrades over the existing Turbo and the pre-facelift Turbo S. For one, its 4.8-liter twin-turbo V8 now produces 570 horsepower (up from 520 in the new Turbo and 550 in the old Turbo S and the latest Cayenne Turbo S) and 553 pound-feet of torque (up from the current Turbo's 516 but the same as the previous model). Despite the power boost, however, Porsche is quoting the same 3.6-second 0-60 time for the new Panamera Turbo S as it did for the previous one - but then that hardly required improvement in the first place. Top speed, however, is up to 192 miles per Autobahn-blurring hour, two mph faster than the previous model.
Other features include carbon-ceramic brakes (hopefully with more durable bolts than sister companies Lamborghini and Bentley have been using) packed inside the wheels from the 911 Turbo and an exclusive shade of greige called Palladium. And for the first time, customers will be able to order this top-spec model in long-wheelbase Executive trim. But don't expect it to come cheap: MSRP (before delivery and options) is quoted at $180,300 for the standard wheelbase and $200,500 for the stretched model. That's two and a half times the price of a base Panamera, and makes the new Panamera Turbo S Executive both the most expensive and most powerful Porsche your can buy this side of a 918 Spyder. Haven't passed out yet? There's more to digest in the press release, so head on down below to take it all in.

New details mooted about Porsche's '988' Ferrari rival

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

We could be on the verge of a big expansion at everyone's favorite rear-engined German sports car manufacturer. Porsche is allegedly preparing a four-car assault that will be led by a proper challenger to the Ferrari 458 Italia (sorry 911).
Code-named "988," the new model will reportedly feature a mid-engined layout and, get this: a flat-8. Autocar, which has the story, expects that engine to displace about 4.0 liters, while the car itself will draw styling inspiration from the 918 Spyder. 600 ponies and over 400 super-accessible pound-feet of torque should be on tap with the new mill.
Joining the 988's supposed eight-cylinder is a new family of four- and six-cylinder boxer engines that Autocar claims will have a focus on power density and fuel economy. These new mills will be available in naturally aspirated, turbocharged and hybrid forms.

Porsche exec confirms Macan Diesel for US

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

The idea of a diesel-powered Porsche is the sort of thing that sounds really, really weird... until you actually drive it. The result of sticking glow plugs under the hood of Stuttgart's finest, though, is a vehicle that's nearly as entertaining as a gas-powered model but with much more torque and better fuel economy. Considering that, we think it's absolutely splendid news that following previous reports, Porsche has now confirmed a diesel-powered Macan for the US market.
"We are now busy with the development and the engineering," Andre Oosthuizen, Porsche's North American marketing VP, told Automotive News. "I can confirm that V6 diesel offering with about 245 horsepower."
Yep, that's the same 3.0-liter V6 found, most notably, in the CUV's Audi Q5 platform-mate as well as a plethora of other Volkswagen Group vehicles, both in the US and abroad. Stuttgart already offers the 3.0-liter oil-burner in the Euro-spec crossover, where it churns out 258 hp and 427 pound-feet of torque.
