2000 Porsche 911 996 Great Shape, NEEDS MOTOR WORK, IMS done! Lots of Extras!

2000 Porsche 911 C2 Convertible Description

Up for grabs is (was) my daily driver 996. It is a wonderful car with normal wear and tear throughout, but overall very nice shape (see photos). Mild intake modifications make for great intake sound on that flat six. Car comes with a fiberglass hard top that goes over the soft top. (Totally transforms the look of the car and makes it a year round car). Top takes two people and 5 minutes to put on and off...it's super easy. Car HAS had IMS done (I have documentation). Car will not come with "Turbo Twists" but the aftermarket rims (as shown in most of the pictures). If you MUST have the turbo twists, I can bundle them in with the car for an additional cost.
Why am I selling my daily driver rocket?
A misfire code kept creeping up the last month. The last few days, the exhaust was a little white on hard acceleration. A bit of renlist searching told me that my air oil separator was going bad, an easy fix. As I pulled off the mufflers to put new plugs, coils and and the AOS in, I figured out why my exhaust was white, as coolant was pooling in my exhaust cans. Turns out that only really happens if there is a crack in the head or bottom end, NOT an easy fix, for me anyway. Bummer. So the 996 has got to go. You will see in the pictures the exhaust cans are in the rear seat.
So if you're handy with motors or happen to have a spare 996 motor lying around, you can have a winter weekend project and get a car for a fraction of what they usually go for. I kinda always wanted a 964, so this will work as a nice down payment for one of those.
I'm selling this AS IS, with no WARRANTIES what so ever. Although I drove the car into the current parking space, it now has no mufflers, plugs, coils, etc, and runs poorly. You should bring a trailer. Some of the pictures are just to show that the car has been fully serviced (even radiators cleaned!) and was usually shipped to and from car shows. You can (sort of) see it in the pictures but the back window is delaminating in the bottom and will leak if left in a downpour. It was not a big enough issue for me to fix; I either parked it inside, or threw on the hard top. Better to ask too many questions than be surprised.
I won't release reserve, but FAR lower than buy it now.
Oddly, if you have a NICE (little to no rust) 930 or wide body type 964 roller, I might be interested...
