Up for auction is a 1999 Porsche 996 that has had the original engine swapped with a 2000 LS1 aluminum V8. I bought the car from a California dismantler with the plan of swapping in an LS1 V8 and did so successfully. This was the worlds first running 996 with this engine conversion and there is only one other that I know of in Saudi Arabia. So, pretty unique! All was well until I tried to smog the vehicle in California and was unsuccessful due to a technicality with exhaust configuration. Basically since the exhaust faces a different direction on the LS1 then it did orginally, it cannot be smogged in California. Crazy. Since I can't smog and legally drive the car on the road I have decided to sell. Body: The body is in good shape, but it is not perfect. The panel alignment of the passenger front fender is not great. The passenger door stopped opening and apparently this a common door latch issue that occurs with this model. It has the clear headlights and new rear LED taillights with red and clear lenses. There are a few small dents in various locations around the car. Interior: The interior is clean and it great condition. This car came with the the six-cd changer unit and I also installed an MP3 player adaptor that works great. All controls, lights, climate control (except A/C, see below) work as normal. Drivetrain: The engine is a 50k mile pullout from a 2000 Camaro. The transmission is the stock 6 speed manual transaxle. The engine runs great and the transmission works perfectly. A billet engine / transaxle adaptor was machined to install the LS1. Clutch is brand new. Items left to complete: Once I found out I could not smog the car, I stopped working on it so there are a few items left to do. The A/C is not hooked up, although the LS1 A/C unitl will be included. The tachometer is not hooked up, this can be done using a reluctor wheel and porsche sensor which I will include. Power steering is not hooked up, although steering feel is actually pretty good without it. Wheels: The wheels are porsche BBS. The front tires are in like new condition and rear tires are brand new. Title: The car is in my name and all fees were paid, however since I can't smog the car I cannot obtain a title for it. The car will come with a bill of sale and all California paperwork. Thanks for looking and please only bid if serious about buying. Buyers with zero feedback please contact me prior to bidding.
