Time to move on…up for sale is my 97 993 C2S. I’ve found a new mistress, another longhood; but this time it’s a project. I’m in the process of buying a 72 911 that will involve a complete restoration/rebuild into a semi bad-ass hot rod.
Photos need to be updated, they were taken shortly after I got the car but I wanted to get the ad going. I will hopefully get new interior/exterior shots this weekend and add them later. Suffice to say, the stance is lower, the front end looks great and the aluminum parts finish the interior nicely.

I have done several of the popular modifications/upgrade to the car that we all discuss on this forum in great detail. In my view, they greatly enhance the car’s handling, sound, and style.
Bilstein PSS 10 ($4,318)
Fister RS SSK and golden rod ($446, +install include in the work above)
Fister Stage II mufflers ($550)
HID lights ($75)
Aluminum shifter and e-brake handle ($700)
Turbo S ducts, bumperettes delete, Hella micro DL's, clear euro side markers ( $2,975 total)
CDR 220 w/ iPod input ($1,000)
Ruf stainless steel pedal set ($350)

Total: $10,414 (don’t tell my wife!)

The car has 57,xxx miles on it, it’s a six speed gearbox, black/black. Paint and interior are in excellent condition, the car is always garage kept (home and office). It is used as a weekend cruiser and I occasionally take it to the office. I bought the car 2.5 years ago from TruSpeed in Costa Mesa. It had a PPI from the dealership TruSpeed purchased the car from dated 6-17-2010 (41,038 miles) The car had a good PPI with only a few minor items needing attention which TruSpeed or I did.

There were no maintenance records when I got the car just the service book which was stamped by the dealerships that performed the required services. Since I’ve owned the car I’ve maintained it at my local independent Porsche shop and have taken proper care of the car. I have replaced the upper and lower valve cover gaskets to cure an oil leak, changed spark plugs (needed to after I failed a CA smog test) and of course, routine oil changes etc. I also just replaced the battery and purchased new tires (Hankook Ventus V12’s).

Needs: The car needs a new clutch which I will do prior to the sale (the guy who was looking at my car was considering a lightweight flywheel and clutch, so I haven’t done the work yet. I would also credit the price of a new clutch if you are a DYI guy and are so inclined. I will put an original clutch with the DMF in the car, per original spec.) Nothing else is really pressing; although I would restore the brake calipers with a new coat(s) of clear coat as the shiny finish has dulled and peeled off here and there (this is a very common occurrence).

Feel free to contact me at npsyllos@me.com if you have any questions. PPI’s are welcomed at your expense, and I’m happy to help arrange that. The car is located in San Diego.

Thanks boys! It's really a great car; I think these are among the best looking cars Porsche has ever made. I wish I could keep all three....

Nick, I would be more than happy to store the 993 here @ Private Car Storage for you, and "work-it-out" so the fuel doesn't smell !!

Love that "Big hip" shot. Great looking 993, good luck with the sale !

[NickP]

SOLD and staying local.

Like I told the guy who sold me my '67; "You're gonna miss it". Two months later I got the call. "I should have kept it".
But I understand! Good luck with the project.

Tom- I will miss that car, I'm sure of. Also, I sold it to a friend so I will see the car fairly often so it will tug at me. However, the different level of care required to keep a black paint job looking nice is something I won't miss. I really think the 993 wide body cars are among the prettiest designed ever penned by Porsche. I often just went to the garage to look at that car in the garage and loved the lines and contours.

My previous 993 was a cabriolet which I truly enjoyed, and still regret selling it 10 years later. I could see buying one down the road as a sunny day driver. I'm excited about the project that I'll soon dive into, it should be fun.
