1999 Porsche Boxster 986 Ocean Blue Metallic / Savanna Biege - 5 Speed Manual with only 96k.Offered for sale is an extra clean California Boxster in beautiful shape with zero accidents or stories. This life long California car was only imported to Minnesota by myself six months ago and passed a complete mechanical inspection by IPB Autosport at that time. With several key service items just performed (listed below), this Boxster will give you long time enjoyment with no worries of expensive maintenance moving forward. Unexpected purchase of a third Porsche forces sale or I'd enjoy this beauty for many years to come; I looked at many Boxsters to find a nice, well maintained example. RECENT MAJOR SERVICE & REPAIRS (Just Performed):• Clutch• Air/Oil Separator (AOS)• Convertible Top Rear Window• Motor Mounts• Headlight Lenses• Four Wheel Alignment• A/C Serviced and Recharged• Drive Belt• Front Sway Bar Links• New Bosch Battery (850cca)• Fresh Mobil 1 Oil & Filter• New Leather Shift Boot • Coolant Expansion Tank @ 75k
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
• Factory hardtop complete with rolling stand and dust cover • Two sets of wheels to choose from: Original Boxster Design 17" Twists and 16" M395 Five Spoke with Pirelli Winter Sport Snow Tires. Both included with "buy now". • Two factory keys, Original Owners Manual, Window Sticker, and Service History dating back to 1999.• Three sets of floor mats: Brand new set of OEM Factory Savanna Biege mats, Brand new Lloyds all season mats, and the original set that came with the car. • CD-ROM with Supporting DocumentationFACTORY OPTIONS:• Heated Seats• On Board Computer• Sports Package• All Leather Seats (Savanna Beige)• Colored Crest Wheel Caps• Hi-Fi Sound pkg• Illuminated Vanity MirrorsOverall Condition: PAINT: Gorgeous Ocean Blue Metallic paint has a deep rich showroom new shine. It was hard to capture in photographs just how stunning the car looks. The nose has some minor stone chips from freeway driving and there are a few faint scratches found under careful scrutiny (too faint to be photographed), but overall, the paint is very nice. Hardtop has a 1" scratch on the driver's side. No rust.
INTERIOR: Very clean Savanna Biege interior. Rare factory heated seats that work well. Non-smoker. No fading on trim pieces. Driver's seat shows minor wear from use, but no rips or tears in the leather. E-brake plastic cover has a crack in it. Armrest needs new hinges (common and easy fix). Overall, the interior retains a very "like new" look.
DRIVING IMPRESSIONS: Motor is very healthy pulling strong through the entire rev range. Silky smooth both hot/cold with no unusual noises. Car tracks straight down the road and does not pull while braking. Steering is razor sharp and the car still feels "tight". Runs cool and never overheats. Nice crisp clutch engagement one of the best feeling gearboxes I've felt in an early Boxster. No warning lights illuminated on the dash and the air conditioning blows cold. Overall, the car drives just as nice as cars with half the mileage. The 2.5L flat six in these early Boxster's sounds absolutely amazing, a very mechanical sound reminiscent of the old air-cooled 911's, with a spine tingling exhaust note on full throttle.
MAINTENANCE: Included will be service history from the previous owner (2003-2013) and the factory maintenance booklet with all appropriate dealership service stamps from the original owner (1999-2003). This Boxster has been lovingly maintained and enthusiast owned for it's entire life, and it shows. The 2.5 motor has the vastly superior dual-row IMS bearing and was not plagued with catastrophic failures like the newer models from 2000 on-wards. Have clean Carfax on hand.
CONVERTIBLE TOP: The Metropol Blue convertible top nicely accents the Ocean Blue Metallic paint. It's in good condition but shows minor wear from use. Functions flawlessly with no holes or major blemishes. Rubber trim is in good condition. New rear window just sewn in before my purchase. Included is the "red clip" which activates the interior motion sensor if you wish to leave the car unattended with the top down.
ACCESSORIES/PRICE: While I highly recommend the hardtop as a must have accessory for the Boxster, I understand it's not for everyone, thus I am willing to sell the vehicle without the hardtop for a discounted price. I have two sets of wheels for the vehicle: The original Boxster Design 17" Twists, and factory 16" M395 Five Spokes mounted with Pirelli Winter Sport Snow Tires (both pictured on the vehicle). Buyer can pick which wheels come with the vehicle or I will include both sets for an agreed price. I will include everything if the "Buy Now" option is used.
ABOUT ME: As a PCA member, I have owned Porsche's for more than a decade and am a huge enthusiast of the marque. I understand how apprehensive buying a car sight unseen can be, and as a result I'm willing to work with potential buyers 100% by being available to answer questions via phone or email, take additional photographs, and to help arrange a PPI or shipping. I've tried to include photos of the vehicle in a variety of photographs with different lighting and backgrounds for the most accurate representation of how the car looks. I bought this car sight unseen from California in June of 2013 and it exceeded my expectations. Really wish I could keep it.
Vehicle is sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty expressed or implied. Buyer is responsible for shipping and vehicle will not be released until funds have 100% cleared my bank. I am happy to assist potential buyers however possible in this endeavor. $500.00 PayPal Deposite required within 24 hours of auction close. Full payment via cash, certified check, or wire transfer required within 7 days of auction close. Vehicle is offered for sale locally thus I reserve the right to end this listing early.

There is no doubting the fact that it takes nerves of steel to be a racecar driver, but the same can also be said for motorsports photographers. Case in point: The American Le Mans Series Oak Tree Grand Prix at the Virginia International Raceway where two Porsche 911 racecars crash hard into the tire barrier, but the dedicated cameraman stays with the shot - diving away only at the last second just as the battered No. 31 car (shown above) comes to rest atop the tire barriers just feet from where he was standing.
The crash occurred when the two Porsches charged hard into a corner. Judging by the video, the white No. 48 car appears to not see the orange No. 31 and the two cars make contact, skidding off track hitting the tire barriers at a high rate of speed. Both drivers walked away from the frightening crash, but the video - posted below - shows just how bad things could have been. Hopefully the close call will serve as a lesson for the woman standing in the track marshal's post who has her back to the racing as the two cars barrel directly toward her.

At this point, you'd think we'd know all there is to know about the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder - except what it's like to drive - but Porsche has released a new video giving us a more in-depth look at its new plug-in hypercar all the same. The animated video gives us numerous cutaway looks at the 918 Spyder while giving a visual demonstration of the car's four hybrid driving modes.
Though nowhere near as exciting as watching the 918 blast around the Nürburgring in record time, this new video is nonetheless both interesting and informative. Scroll down to watch the video yourself, and be sure to check out our live gallery of the production version of the car along with a stock gallery.

Porsche Classic already offers everything from oil specifically for the brand's air-cooled models to GPS navigation units for them. For restorers looking for just the right piece, the division is now also selling replacement dashboards for early 911s. Fitting models from 1969 to 1975, these dashboards aren't 100-percent original replacements. Instead, Porsche Classic reengineered the part with a modern substructure to hold up better to the sun, temperature changes, and humidity. The outer surface still looks entirely correct, though, to fit the design of these vintage air-cooled coupes. Porsche Classic is selling them for $1,353, but the the windshield needs to come out for installation. While the price may sound steep, it appears to be right in line with other dashboard replacements for the vintage 911. The Porsche specialists at Stoddard offer an example for $1,325 and list a factory part for $1,501.29. Shopping around might be worthwhile, though, because another website already seems to show the Porsche Classic unit with a markdown to $1,150. Porsche Classic Recreates Dashboard for Historic 911 June 1, 2015 New dashboard built to original specifications Atlanta. It is back: Porsche Classic is reproducing the dashboard for vintage 911 models from years 1969 to 1975. A sophisticated manufacturing process combines high quality meeting today's standards and a design that is true to the original. The new dashboard consists of a modern substructure and the original surface design. The fluted texture, tactile feel, gloss and shade of black are designed to be as close as possible to the original. The new part is now available to be ordered from any authorized Porsche dealer in the United States. MSRP is $1,353 plus any applicable taxes, shipping, and handling. Like the technical equipment, the classic vehicles' interiors are subject to normal wear. Solar radiation as well as fluctuations in temperature and humidity attack the surface and materials over time. Today's materials hold up better; therefore, to help preserve the long-term value of classic Porsche cars, Porsche Classic re-engineered the dashboard. Extensive tests conducted to modern standards assure precision fit and quality. As an original equipment part, the dashboard, which contains the loudspeaker cover, can only be installed by the original assembly procedure – which involves removing the windshield.
