We’ve been compiling some amazing Porsche models on the internet for over five years now, and we’ve seen some pretty astonishing examples pop up now and again. This week we’re thinking about wrenching in the garage, so we’re featuring Porsche project cars! Plus one project that someone already finished for you! Hopefully you’ve enjoyed our “curated” look at the Porsche market. Keep in mind, some of these Porsches could be great collection investments, while others might prove to do more financial harm than good.
INTERESTED IN HAVING YOUR PORSCHE FEATURED HERE?
Every other week, we feature 5 of our favorite Porsches for sale. That post is sent out to our mailing list of more than 17,000 Porsche owners and fans and is seen by tens of thousands of other readers who visit our site directly. If you’re selling a Porsche on eBay and would like to see it featured here, just shoot us an email with the details and we’ll be back in touch. Otherwise, feel free to check out all the other eBay listings we have on our Porsches for sale pages.
1. 1981 PORSCHE 911 SC Roller Project FOR SALE
This 911 seems like the deal of the century. The body is mostly straight, and while it might need some work, all of the bits are there. The only thing it’s missing is an engine and transmission. If you already have a spare 3-liter or something sitting around, this could be the work of a weekend getting it running and driving. Honestly, I’d be perfectly happy to drive it around with the paint in this condition and a big chunky 3.8-liter slung out in the back. It’d look like hell and go like it, too!

2. 1989 PORSCHE 928S4 Convertible Conversion FOR SALE
I absolutely adore this big cabriolet. Obviously the factory never built any 928 drop tops, but someone decided they wanted one anyway and had it built. Allegedly converted in 1990, just shortly after it was delivered new, this car was sent off to Newport Beach Convertible to have the roof hacked off. This car doesn’t appear to be a hack job, however, as it’s in pretty great shape, and the convertible looks quite good. It’s not quite factory fit and finish, but it’s nice enough that I would enjoy the opportunity to drive it.

3. 1968 PORSCHE 912 Project FOR SALE
I am an absolute sucker for chocolate brown and 912s. This little brown beauty looks like it’s lived a pretty hard life, but it looks like it’s mostly solid. The listing says it will need typical floor pan and front suspension pan. Originally an Irish Green car, this could look great as a perfectly restored car or as a patinated beater. It’s got the rare Webasto gasoline heater and allegedly all of the parts for the project are there. It’s priced a bit high for my blood, but it’s a good look.

4. 1970 PORSCHE 914-6 FOR SALE
This one really hurts to see. This original 914-6 was involved in an accident in 1979. One can assume that the engine in this car is still the one it came with from the factory, but I am not going to guarantee that. If you want a 914-6, this one is little more than a VIN, engine, and transmission at this point, but perhaps it could be saved with a bunch of parts from a donor chassis (I’m not condoning VIN swapping, as that is illegal…). This looks like an incredibly extensive project, however, and certainly more than the average layman can handle.

5. 1983 PORSCHE 928S MANUAL FOR SALE
And one that seems to be slightly easier of a project, here’s a nice fast car for a fraction of what they usually go for. This Turbo S has 560 horsepower, and goes faster than stink. So long as the unibody isn’t tweaked, all you need is the front end sheetmetal from maybe a car that got rear ended, and you’re golden. Find a nice paint shop and get it re-sprayed. Pop some fresh airbags in the car. Then go run back roads and hit the launch control to your heart’s desire.
