This 1996 Porsche 993 Carrera Coupe was acquired by the current owner in January 2016 and was enjoyed during a 22-state road trip before being placed in long term storage and then converted to what it is today. It was treated to an incredible outlaw build using as many Porsche OEM parts as possible, including genuine Euro-spec bumpers, Turbo S air scoops and front lip, RS side skirts, lightweight polycarbonate windows, a DRS Development carbon/Kevlar roof panel, and a new interior with Sparco carbon fiber bucket seats, RS-style door panels in Alcantara, a genuine RS steering wheel, Sparco QRT-C carbon fiber bucket seats, Rennline silver seatbelts, and a Titan Motorsports roll bar. Other modifications include a Rennline lower dash and radio delete, Rennline track mats and floorboards, a Rothsport Racing single-piece billet shifter, genuine window lifter rails, and relocated center console switches. The A/C system remains fully functional and 6 USB ports are added below the dashboard for powering accessories. The car comes with a lightweight carpet kit which has not been installed yet, but can be prior to delivery. This 993 outlaw is powered by an upgraded 3.8-liter engine built by Orbit Racing and features a KW V3 coilover suspension, genuine RS sway bars, RS-spec bushings, a Sachs clutch and flywheel, an FD Motorsports short shifter and Golden Rod, FR Motorsports Fister III mufflers, and a Rothsport Racing one-piece billet shifter. This 993 rides on 18” Braid Forged Five wheels measuring 8.5” wide in front and 10” wide in the rear with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires sized 265/35 and 225/40 respectively. The car was factory-finished in Midnight Blue Metallic and currently wears a removable Mint Green vinyl wrap. The car was fitted with a new windshield, lightweight Plastics4Perofrmance polycarbonate rear and side windows, all-new rubber seals, and an RS wiper washer kit. Rodger Hawley of Orbit Racing built the engine to 3.8-liter specifications with Mahle pistons and cylinders, Carrillo rods, rebuilt distributors, a reconditioned ECU, RS motor mounts, and a new Sachs flywheel. The rear wheels are driven by way of a 6-speed manual transmission with a new Sachs clutch, an FD Motorsports short shift and Golden Rod kit. A host of build invoices are available and the rebuilt engine is said to have been driven for approximately 6,500 miles since completion. The owner notes that the front bumper, side skirts, roof, and decklid remain unpainted beneath the vinyl wrap, and should the new owner choose to remove the wrap the vehicle will need to be repainted. The current owner spent over $200k on the build itself in order to create the best 993 driver's car possible, it now goes to the next caretaker to enjoy it in its mint green glory or finish the cosmetics and have a perfect exterior either in its original Midnight Blue or the color of their choice.
