So many early Porsches grace the screen of ebay that hardly resemble what the true Porsche heritage is all about. Many are beaten, battered and bruised and can be very expensive to restore and operate. Essentially the body of the 911 has gone unchanged for 40 years, but advancements in German engineering, technology, and aerodynamics continue to make it one of the leading and most powerful sports cars of all time. I am an avid Porsche collector and restorer and continue to look for more projects to work on.

This is a classic and reliable car that was restored correctly, with no expenses spared and with the highest of quality.

The low mileage 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet you see here has just completed a full interior and body restoration, however, understand this car was meant to drive and enjoy, and is not meant to be a concourse show winner. If you know anything about Porsches, no one puts an engine together better than the certified Porsche German mechanics and I am very fortunate to be in a network of highly skilled Porsche mechanics that are all certified, trained and skilled to work on my Porsches restorations. The 3.2 liter is original and has been regularly serviced in Indiana, PA.

This extremely low mileage car with 64,000 original miles, is a two owner PA based Porsche that spent most of its life in western PA. After many years with an owner that pampered this weekend cruiser with regularly scheduled service being performed and documented, they decided to trade the car in for a new model car in 2007. That’s correct, the same original owner for 21 years!! I looked very long and hard for a great base restoration project for the Xtreme MotorCars 993 Strosek body kit you see here. This Porsche is VERY strong and will bring its new owner years of enjoyment. The car just had its 60,000 mile service performed at Specialty Cars, an awesome Porsche repair facility in Allentown, PA that specializes in Porsche repairs and restorations (www.specialtycarsservicecenter.com).

I purchased the car for the sole purpose of building a strong and reliable Porsche for enjoyment. The entire car was repainted in the original Guards Red in July 2008 after a Strosek C2/4 widebody body kit from Xtreme MotorCars was installed, along with a new carpet kit, brand new leather seat covers, brand new leather rear seats, a trunk kit, a custom leather center counsel and electric antenna and CD stereo. The paint was applied by East Penn Fleet Services of Emmaus, PA, and is a 9.5 out of 10. Additionally, I installed a new convertible top, along with new power motors and very expensive stainless steel high performance Stebro header and exhaust system that sounds incredible. Again, a high performance sound, not loud and obnoxious. I also had a new 993 rear center reflector, along with new door moldings, monochrome door handles, a new 930 steering wheel, 993 power heated mirrors and brand new 993 xenon headlights, 993 tail light lenses and seals, all from Sierra Madre Collections. Additionally, I installed a custom made 993 Turbo rear wing and labeled the car with the very expensive Millennium Anniversary stainless steel 911 badge on the rear. The RUFF Racing (not that RUF) wheels are 18x8 and 18x9.5 with 3” spacers in rear and 1” spacers up front. The brand new tires are Goodyear F-1 All Season Radials with less than 50 miles. And YES, the car has A/C that blows cold air.

This restoration was not meant to be a concourse winning show car, but a solid, reliable, everyday running and driving car. No expense was spared and this is one of my favorite restorations yet. I am in the process of finishing 2 more beautiful Porsche restorations that will be available for sale in a matter of weeks.

I have an incredible following for my Porsche restorations and this car will sell, but I have no problem keeping this car if it doesn’t. Most of the cars I restore are for current clients with their own design in mind, however this is one that started with such a nice clean stock Porsche, I wanted to build this one to my own specific specs. It’s that nice and it is a gorgeous and reliable machine. Just about everything on the car is new and this car is very strong.

I am not interested in trades. If you know anything about Porsches and can see the quality of this car, you already know what kind of money I have into it. This car is not cheap and certainly may not be the car for you, so please, bid only if you’re truly interested in this beautiful machine. Please have funds secure before committing to purchase. Everyone wants an awesome Porsche, but this one will go to a respectable and true Porsche enthusiast. I might suggest JJ Best Banc for financing (www.jjbestbanc.com) . They are great to work with, very quick to inspect the car and offer decent financing terms. Feel free to also contact Mark or Dave at Specialty Cars Service Center at (610) 437-9333 in Allentown, PA and ask them about Randy’s 1986 993 Strosek Porsche restoration. I welcome inspections prior to the auction ending, however this car is being sold AS IS with no warranty offered or implied.
