This auction is for my 2004 Porsche Turbo 911 Convertible. It is a 6 speed manual transmission car with AWD standard as on all 996 turbo's. It is in silver with a black top, the traditional color for Porsche Turbos. All of the paint is in glossy new condition. No rock chips or damage on the front of the car, behind the wheel wells, anywhere! The car itself is in mint condition with only 13,100 original miles on the odometer. There has been no bodywork or paintwork. The interior is in mint condition as well. The wheelwells, the engine compartment and even the luggage compartment all look new. The car operates like it did the day it was sold brand new. Everything works just as it should. The car drives perfectly. I was told by the previous owner that the car had never set outside even one night, that it had never been driven in the rain. I know that since I have owned it the only time it has been wet was in my driveway when I was washing it! It has been stored in a climate controlled garage since day one. It is not a "new" car, but it is a 9 year old car that looks, drives and smells like new!
All services for the car have been done by an authorized Porsche dealership. I just had the oil changed and the car fully inspected. It needs nothing. The factory options are many including the painted front grilles, windscreen, stainless "turbo" sills, GPS Navigation, 6 Disc CD changer, full leather, heated power seats, Porsche crest in Headrests, White faced instruments and matching hardtop.
There are no surprises or excuses on this car. The Porsche Turbo is a true "supercar" with a bulletproof "race inspired" engine that gives the car absolutely "breathtaking" performance!! Turning heads everywhere you drive it, its amazing how little the average "car person" really knows about the 911. The 2004 996 Turbo Cab was the first Turbo convertible that Porsche made since the 80's. The brakes, handling, acceleration and just about every other aspect of this cars performance is considered "supercar" by most everyones standards. The turbo 3.6 Mezger designed engine has none of the inherent flaws of the "non-turbo" 3.6 engine of the standard 911.
See my feedback and bid with confidence. I will work with your hauler if you need me to. Please email me with any questions. I'll be happy to answer them. Thanks for looking!

Auto journalist ordered to pay big money for blowing up Porsche 917 engine [UPDATE]
Tue, 22 Jan 2013Racecars blow engines all the time, but a Porsche 917 isn't just a run-of-the-mill racecar. British automotive writer Mark Hales reportedly borrowed a 917 from 82-year-old former Formula One racer David Piper for a magazine article, and mechanical tragedy ensued. Nobody is arguing that the engine failed after being spun to 8,200 rpm. However, Hales was warned not to exceed 7,000 rpm, says owner Piper, and the affair landed in English courts with Piper seeking £50,000 - over $79,000 US - in reimbursement funds for an engine rebuild and loss of use of the car while it was being repaired. Judge Simon Brown ruled in favor of car owner Piper, putting Hales on the hook for £110,000 ($174,000) including legal fees - a whole lot of money in any language.
Hales says the Porsche suffered a mechanical fault while lapping that allowed it to slip out of gear and over-rev. Piper wasn't convinced, and sought to have the repair paid for by the guy who broke the racer, saying "If you bend it, you mend it." It's not like Hales is a novice driver, having seat time in both professional and amateur races over 30 years, notching about 150 wins, but even the best drivers sometimes miss a shift, and that's what Piper contended happened to his car.
According to reports, Hales has had to sell most of his valuables to pay his lawyers and is now facing bankruptcy with the ruling against him. Members of the Pistonheads website are trying to coordinate a collection to help him out, as well.
Corvette gets slidey with Britain's best performance cars
Sat, 18 Oct 2014Autocar wants to find Britain's best driver's car, and it's challenging a murderers' row of some of the world's best performance vehicles to find out, including the latest Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. All of them were therefore assembled at the Castle Combe Circuit to find a winner.
If it wants to take the crown from this pack of mostly European competitors, the 'Vette has to beat some steep competition. Its challengers include monsters like the Ferrari 458 Speciale, Ariel Atom 3.5R and Jaguar F-Type Coupe. As a further hurdle for the winner to clear, Autocar also has last year's champ among the fighters - the Porsche 911 GT3.
Even if you're not at all interested in the C7, there's still something here for practically any fan of fast cars. The competitors include relative oddities among the pack like the Renault Mégane RS Trophy and Alfa Romeo 4C. Plus, Autocar has some well-positioned microphones that let you hear the Atom wailing like a banshee and the roar of the 458 Speciale. Check out the video to see which one of these all-stars takes home the award this year.
Porsche 960 could come with quad-turbo flat-eight engine
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Getting a bead on the target that is the so-called Porsche 960 is not easy, as the target keeps moving. First labeled the 960, then the 961, and now back to being called the 960, it is Porsche's take on a supercar specifically aimed at Ferrari - the latest report in Automobile says that Porsche's internal moniker for it is "FeFi," which stands for "Ferrari Fighter." Because it is expected to cost as much as the top-tier V12 Ferrari, Porsche wants the engine solution to justify the price tag. That means, according to author Georg Kacher, a 3.9-liter, quad-turbo flat-eight engine with 650 horsepower.
Last summer, the engine was mooted to be a twin-turbo flat six. A few months later, the rumor was that it would use the 4.6-liter V8 from the 918 and have about 570 horsepower. This new mid-engine configuration would be quite the leap, giving the 960 more power than the 918 Spyder (pictured) and 911 GT2 RS, and utilize other tech features like four adjustable camshafts and "a complex multistage intake manifold." In this scenario, power would be run through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive.
Build materials are still slated to be a hodgepodge of materials including aluminum, steel, carbon fiber, titanium and magnesium. The boosted flat-eight, all-wheel drive and a 3,000-pound weight could get the 960 from zero to 60 miles per hour in just 2.5 seconds. Since it is looking squarely at Ferrari, the idea that the 960 will be a "four-door coupe" can probably be put to rest. For now.
