Vehicle Description
OK here we have an unusual Porsche for your consideration. Before we start I’ve sold a few Porsches on ebay with great results….everyone happy! I’m not a car dealer just a hobby guy and I feel with the advent of technology and the internet that the Porsche community has become a SMALL WORLD online….selling a car online is like selling cars in a small town….your reputation follows you !!! With that said I strive to fully disclose all known issues with my cars.

This beast is a 1986 carrera cabriolet with extensive modifications. Most of you know that Porsche did not make Turbo Cabs in 1986. From what I can gather this was essentially a low option carrera cab from the factory. In the late eighties the car underwent a major modification/ turbo conversion by Dave Dopke’s Bavarian Coach Works in Ohio. Some of you may know that Mr. Dopke created a few 935 copies and other 911 variants in his day….you can read a little about him here:

Body:
The workmanship on this car is exquisite…factory steel turbo quarter panels, (not ad on flares) factory steel box rockers, steel turbo front fenders, with aluminum 928 fender sections grafted in…all in beautiful high gloss black, with no cracks or visible body work seams. All the panels fit properly. It has a slightly extended tail/engine lid, one piece fiberglass, it looks like a DP tail to me but it does not have any markings on it. 928 H4 headlight system uses all factory 928 parts and works perfectly. Car has a new top, headliner, and rear window, and top boot, top is electric and works perfectly. There a large DP type front spoiler with a minor crack in it from tapping a parking stop. (pictured)

Interior:
The inside is a late eighties time capsule with the large Recaro seats and Gugario steering wheel. It is well instrumented with boost gauge instead of clock, andial intercooler temp gauge, cylinder head temp gauge. Everything is in really nice condition although there is minor wear on some carpet sections where you would expect (around the driver’s feet), oh yeah it’s got a booming stereo with twin carver amps and a 10disc changer too, and built in radar.

Mechanical:
This is the fun part of this car….it is equipped with a 1986 930 turbo engine and 930 four speed transmission. The engine just got a full top end rebuild at 31910 miles (less than 2000 miles) with new OEM pistons and cylinders, complete rework on the dual plug heads including all new valves, guides, springs, all new oil lines, rebuilt fuel distributor, etc. with documentation for repairs totaling over $17000.00 within the last 2000 miles. Engine compartment is dominated by a HUGE intercooler and those of you with a keen eye may notice the very rare OEM 935 12 plug distributor. Has cockpit adjustable wastegate that I keep turned all the way down and it STILL rivals the acceleration of my 996 turbo ! This car is blistering fast and reliable too….roars like a racecar idles at around 1500 RPM….when you fire it up people just smile. Other extras include oversized additional front oil cooler, updated AC, and new MASSIVE 345-35-15 rear tires on BBS 3 piece wheels.

Some history:
This car has an ORIGINAL 33000 miles on it. Carfax shows consistent mileage readings since new to confirm this, and it has no title issues, no wrecks, floods, or other BS. Clean FL title in my name, no liens, no stories. Carfax DOES show several failed emissions tests….no surprise….if you are concerned about emissions, this is not the car for you. Also this car sold on ebay in June of 2002 for $37000.00 (item #1837776380) that was BEFORE the top end rebuild and new top. I’m offering it here starting very low and with NO RESERVE.

This is a well-built and maintained car, but it is sold without warranty. I welcome in person inspections (I think it would sell to the first one) email me and we’ll arrange it…or send a friend or agent to check it out for you. Check my feedback…its real good. Buyer must arrange and pay for shipping. I will assist with meeting shipper on this end. Out of US buyers must arrange and deal with their own customs and border crossing issues. Payment in full due within three days by wire transfer, cash, or paypal only. I will overnight fedex title to you the same day, then you have 30 days to pick up the car, it’s stored indoors. I don’t know how I could make it easier !!"
