Default Jims Speed Yellow 993TT is up for sale

Life circumstances have developed that I need to put my 993TT up for sale and downsize my car hobby quite a bit.

Many of you here on this forum know my car and how well it is setup and what great condition it is in. If you or if you know of anyone interested, please e-mail or PM me.

Here is a breif description of the car:

1996 993 TT - Speed Yellow, Black, all leather interior
51,xxx miles
Immaculate condition inside and out.
Never damaged.
Litronics as well as some "x" options, like carbon fiber steering wheel / shifter

Extras include:

Powerplant:
Ulitmate Motorworks (Kevin's) GT1 turbos (+ some wastegate porting)
Kevin / Gunter programmed ECU
42# Bosch OEM injectors
RUF / Cargraphic aux. oil cooler

Chassis - Brakes:
Brembo 355mm brakes - front and rear with Pagid RS4-2-2 pads + spare set.
Stainless steel brake lines w. Castrol SRF fluid (just done before the holidays)
PSS-9's with Morton / Weiner rear spring hat (not the loose fit Bilstein copy)
RS adjustable front sway bar (23mm)
GT2 adjustable rear sway bar (22mm)
ERP adjustable rear toe and kinematic toe arms
GT2/EVO front uprights with GT2/RS tie-rod ends

Body - Interior:
Euro turbo front bumper cover with turbo "S" chin spoiler
Techart front brake ducts with HID equipped cornering lights
Clear Front Corner Lenses
Euro Rear Corner Lenses
OEM turbo "S" rear decklid spoiler
Fikse FM5 wheels, 8.5 X 18 F 10.5 X 18 R with 235/295 Yoko Advan AD-07 tires
Recaro SRD seats, recovered in leather with french stitched side seem.
Techart 340mm 3 Spoke Airbag Steering Wheel
Clear paint protection film on forward facing / tire spray areas.
Lloyd Mats

I have all of the stock pieces, including correct hollow spoke turbo twist wheels, OEM rear decklid /spoiler, front bumper cover and the stock supple leather-crested full powered seats as well as all the little bits and pieces.

I am looking to get something north of $70K for the car.

Please no "tire kickers" or low ballers !

If you know 993TT's, this car is easily worth the $$$, and then some.

E-Mails are welcome for questions and additional photos.

Chris:

Yes, I need some financial manuvering room to get my career in better order.

Somethings happened just after the new year that have played havoc on my plans for 2007 and beyond. Needless to say, selling off the yellow beastie is one of the more reasonable plans to make way for some new and better career ventures.

The 993, along with many Rennlist friends have been a major part of my life for some years now. I have owned some sort of 993 since early 2002 and Porsches in general for over 25 years. I am sure I will own some sort of P-Car, just not one of the magnitude of the TT.

Cheers !

Jim I'm truly sorry you have to sell your TT. For those who are looking for a TT you wont find a better car knowing how Jim is taking care of them... Wish I had the cash I would snap it in a heartbeat.
Good luck Jim...
