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. |

World Car of the Year finalists announced
Fri, 07 Mar 2014To say the 2014 Geneva Motor Show was packed full of news is an understatement as big as the show's home at the Palexpo convention center. Despite everything that we were able to cover during this year's show, there's still more coming out of Switzerland, including the announcement of the finalists for the 2014 World Car of the Year Awards.
We reported on the original list of finalists over three weeks ago, and now, that initial list has been pared down to three finalists for each of the five awards. The finalists were announced at a press conference by frequent Autoblog contributor and co-chair of the awards, Matt Davis (above).
The finalists for the overall title of 2014 World Car of the Year are the Audi A3, the BMW 4 Series and the Mazda3. The World Luxury Car of the Year will be either the Bentley Flying Spur, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, while the Performance Car of the Year will be awarded to the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, the Ferrari 458 Speciale or the Porsche 911 GT3 (which, um, yeah...).
Porsche to develop new line of engines for next Panamera
Sat, 22 Mar 2014When the second generation of the four-door Porsche Panamera launches, it will likely be riding a new platform, complete with an all-new family of V6 and V8 engines, according to a report coming out of the UK.
Autocar reports that the so-called MSB platform will likely underpin the Panamera, and it could be shared with Bentley, provided the Volkswagen-owned, British-built brand commits to the architecture. As for the engines, it's reported that they'll have a sportier character than the V6s and V8s being built for Volkswagen and Audi's vehicles.
"Porsche will have its own new V8 that will be common to the new MSB platform," Porsche's chief engineer, Wolfgang Hatz, said. "It's a family for the next 10 years of cars." Whether the V8 and V6 will be used outside of the Panamera line, though, remains unclear. There's also no mention of what place turbocharging would have with the new engines.
Porsche Panamera gets new diesel in time for Frankfurt
Tue, 03 Sep 2013Diesel may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Porsche, but in the European market - that vital one which Porsche calls home - diesels are indispensable. Particularly when you're trying to extend beyond niche sports cars and into the mainstream luxury sedan market as Zuffenhausen has with the Panamera. In fact, diesels account for 15 percent of Panamera sales worldwide (even though they're not offered Stateside), so to keep oil-burning customers happy, Porsche has announced a series of upgrades.
Set to be unveiled in the flesh at the fast-approaching Frankfurt Motor Show, the new Panamera Diesel packs 300 horsepower. That's 50 hp (or 20 percent) more than the model it replaces, significantly dropping the 0-62 sprint from 6.8 seconds to 6 flat, and raising top speed from 152 miles per Autobahn-crunching hour to 161. While they were at it, Porsche's engineers also fitted the rear differential with torque vectoring (previously reserved for gasoline-burning models) and retuned the transmission and suspension.
You can delve into the press release below for all the details - including the new model's improved towing capacity! - but the reality, for better or worse, is that the Panamera Diesel isn't offered here. So if you've been celebrating Labor Day (or even Labour Day, for our friends to the north) like we have, don't go looking for it at your local dealer, who will have only a Cayenne Diesel to show you instead.
