Our Favorite Porsches On Ebay This Week #11

For all of the eccentric and eclectic Porsche collectors and enthusiasts out there, we’ve decided that it is about time someone aggregated the best of the best that eBay has to offer in the Porsches-for-sale department. We’ve tracked down five exciting Porsches for folks to purchase today, including a Strosek Speedster, a pair of exceptionally maintained low mile 993 Turbos, a good investment 914-6, a a ducktailed ’77 SC for street or track, and a slightly strange one-off racing special. Some of these cars could be great collection investments, while others might prove to do more financial harm than good.

Immaculate Low-Miles Pair of Porsche 993 Turbos For Sale

Back in October, with the help of our friends at Willhoit Enterprises, we determined that it wouldn’t be long before Porsche’s venerable 993 Turbo saw perfect models trading hands in the quarter million dollar range. There are currently two 993 Turbos on eBay, one listed at 195K, and the other at $249,900. Obviously a car is only worth what someone will pay for it, and neither of these cars have been purchased yet, but those listings are indicative of the current state of the market. Owners feel that their cars are worth the asking price, and it’s not yet seen if buyers feel the same way, but we don’t think it’ll be long before they do.

The black car is the lower mileage of the two, racking up just over 9 thousand miles in almost 20 years, while the Arena Red car has a comparatively massive 28,719 miles. Both feature pretty much perfect grey leather interiors, but of the two, I think I’d have to defer to the Arena Red model. When it was new, I was infatuated with Porsche’s ‘Kills Bugs Fast’ advertisement for the 993 Turbo, and that ad always featured an Arena Red car. I think back to that ad as one of the big reasons why I love Porsche, and the 993 Turbo specifically. If I was going to pony up a quarter million dollars for a 993, it’d have to be Arena. If you’re going to invest in a 993 Turbo, though, it’s hard to go wrong with either of these beautiful models.

Maritime Blue 1994 Porsche Strosek Mega Speedster For Sale

This car just screams 1990s decadence to me. The 964 Speedster on its own was a litany of excessive exterior design and slightly wacky visual appearance. Strosek took an already over-the-top car and sent it to the moon. With widened and beducted rear fenders, some weird front fenders with molded in ‘polyelipsoid’ headlamps, a set of 3-piece OZ Racing modular wheels, and a completely unique suspension, this car makes a ‘regular’ 964 speedster feel just a little bit boring.

While documentation is a little spotty, there is said to only have been about 15 Strosek Mega Speedsters ever built, so this is a properly rare car. Add in the fact that only two of these cars were supposed to have been built in gorgeous Maritime Blue, and that this car has only traversed 5774 miles, you probably can’t find a rarer car for sale in the world right now. You could reasonably double the mileage of this car pretty easily in about a month, if that helps put things in perspective. This car is your opportunity to relive the 1990s. It’d fit right in, perhaps in Miami?

Rapidly Appreciating 1970 Porsche 914-6 For Sale

I’ve been a longtime proponent of the 914-6. While I like the 914 four cylinder cars, the six is the real deal. The fours made use of an engine I don’t care for, but the 2.0 liter flat-six in the 914-6 is absolutely sublime. It sounds like a sports car, it revs like a sports car, and it gives the car just the right amount of ‘get up and go’ to be considered an excellent sports runabout. It’s not quick by today’s standards, but in its day, it was well ahead of much of the pack. It’s a lightweight car with half-decent power delivery, but its real talking point is the sublime balance involved with a mid-engine Porsche. If you have never driven a 914-6, this here is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

Over the last decade, I’ve seen 914-6s rise from practically worthless; with excellent models trading hands for well under ten-thousand dollars, to nearly priceless; easily matching a lot of early 911s on price, often selling for more than 70 grand. With the exceptions of the early 90s Blaupunkt aftermarket radio/tape player, and the seemingly brand new MOMO Prototipo steering wheel, this car looks mostly original, and appears to have been well cared for. See the car in person and check all of the rust prone areas before laying down any serious cash, but outside of that, I see no reason not to buy this car.

2.7 Liter 1977 Porsche 911S Fast Street or Race Car For Sale

This is a very neat road and track car that I could see myself driving pretty frequently. The work was done by the reputable mechanics at Musante Motorsports, and it appears to have a long list of quality parts. More than 125 hours of care were put into the assembly of the 2.7 liter hot-rod engine in this thing, which is now said to produce about 250 horsepower. The safety equipment looks as if no expenses were spared, and the cage looks very well built. While I always cringe at the thought of a ducktail on anything but a 73 RS, it doesn’t look entirely out of place on this car like it does on some cars.

This could be the perfect weekend warrior car for some Porsche enthusiast, as it’s set up to conquer not only the track, but the drive to the track and back home. With a buy-it-now price just shy of 40 grand, this car would be absolutely impossible to replicate for the same money. The seller’s loss is probably your gain, assuming this is the car you’re looking for.

1957 Porsche ‘Wachs’ Special 356-Based Racing Car

Back in the 1950s, racing and hot-rodding were bastions of innovation and home-brew racecraft. Nowhere is that more apparent than in cars like this that dot the country, built up from what was laying around and what made it faster. The car is built around a whole lot of Porsche 356 parts, and the brake/wheel combination is lifted directly from a late 1950s Porsche 356A. The body is hand-formed aluminum over a custom tube frame. The front uses a Volkswagen beam axle, and the rear of the car is crafted from an Austin Healey 100S. The car has apparently had several engines over the years, but is currently equipped with a modified 356C 1600cc engine, now sporting pistons and cylinders to enlarge it to about 1750cc. The engine mates to a Volkswagen 4 speed transaxle and rear suspension. The gauges are all standard Porsche fare.

This car is currently up to spec for racing in the VSCCA’s east coast series, but could easily be modified to any vintage race specification necessary. Its got a really cool look to it, and while much of its history is clouded is mystery, it makes for an excellent conversational piece in any vintage paddock in America. Get out there and compete!
