I've owned this car since 1995 and have records back to 1990 (odometer was 14971 at the time) from previous owner. Driven and maintained like a Porsche should be by a former PCA driver's education instructor. Although the car chassis has 162K miles, the engine only has 53K miles on it and the transmission and clutch have only 7.6K miles on a rebuild. This car is fast, corners well and brakes phenomenally.
Some details and a little bit of history:
In 1996 at 109640 miles, instead of doing a top end rebuild the engine was replaced with
a 127 mile (documented via salvage title) 1993 964 3.6L engine. To support the engine
a second oil cooler was mounted under the left fender ... the end result is a cool running
engine on hot Florida days in stop and go traffic or on track days. The exhaust uses
B&B headers with a single outlet B&B muffler. The catalytic is installed but can be easily
swapped out (via 1 large clamp) on fun days with a straight pipe. An enlarged throttle body
has been installed. Please note that the heat and windshield washer reservoir were
removed / disconnected when the engine was swapped. I'm not going to claim any particular
horsepower level, but suffice to say the engine runs smooth, idles perfect and pulls like
a 930 Turbo with no lag!
In 1999, the engine developed the typical 964 oil leak where the cylinders meet the crankcase.
This issue was addressed and Raceware rod bolts and head studs were installed.
In 2000, the suspension was upgraded to a "The Racer's Group" coil-over setup. The suspension is
a little stiffer than most, but very compliant due to having tender springs on the rear coil-overs.
There are adjustable sway bars front and rear and a "The Racer's Group" front strut brace.
Also in 2000, braking was upgraded to 993 Twin Turbo big red brakes front and rear (from Jarvis Tech)
with a dual-master cylinder setup and adjustable front/rear brake bias.
At 154401 miles, the clutch was replaced and the transmission was rebuilt with all new syncros.
Although not original with this car, a Porsche Limited Slip Differential has been installed.
In 2015 the most recent service was performed. Also that year a 911chips.com ECU software
chip upgrade was installed. Additionally, the battery was replaced and the gas tank was removed
and reconditioned. New Bridgestone Potenzas installed at about 160000 miles.
Somewhere along the way Turbo tie rods were installed for enhanced road feel, the brake lines
were upgraded to stainless steel, the alternator was replaced and a 993 fan was installed for
more air-flow.
The rims are Fuchs 944 Turbo 7J16 front and 930 Turbo 9J16 rear wheels. Two spare sets are
available but not part of this sale.
I personally did most of the oil changes myself (it's easy) ... before every driver's ed event
or on the 5000s with Mobile 1. Suffice to say, I spent more than necessary on oil.
The car has been mechanically maintained with fanaticism and has been in its current configuration
for over 15 years, however it is no longer cosmetically perfect. The driver's seat need recovering.
The dash leather has split (although I do have a mint condition color-match replacement in a box that is included). The paint is no longer perfect, there is a paint fade spot on the sunroof, there are a couple of
parking lot dings, some scratches and blemishes. The top of the whale tail needs to be re-painted.
The left rear rubber bumper knuckle has a crack in it. The rear seat backs were removed but they will be included with the car.
Although a new compressor was installed in 2015, the AC is currently non-functional.
Contact me with any questions or if you want more details. References from two 30 year Porsche shop owners who have helped me keep this car fun, reliable and safe.
I will work with buyer to support out of state transport if necessary.<script>if (typeof(lpcurruser) == 'undefined') lpcurruser = ''; if (document.getElementById('lpcurruserelt') && document.getElementById('lpcurruserelt').value != '') { lpcurruser = document.getElementById('lpcurruserelt').value;

Clarification: the extra set of rims pictured with the car is part of the sale. There is an additional set that is not.
