A solid 993 motor can be bought for around $9,000, while a transmission should fetch about $3,500 or so.

If I was in the market for a track dedicated 993, I certainly consider this one (pending a good PPI).

Yeah, it has been around for a while. I wonder if the color is turning people off. If it were speed yellow, maybe it would have been sold by now.

Flares used to be a prepared option in PCA. Has that changed?

I also like how it says "paintwork free". Uh, exactly how is that relevant now that most of the RF fender is missing?

Hey, Greg,

No, it hasn't changed at all. For a 993 running in class (i.e. the new G class), flares are not allowed. However, for a prepared car, H class in this case, they are allowed.

I know that white car... RTR guy. He popped out of the Carusel at Shennandoah a few weeks ago at very high speed. Very scary, front end impact into the tire wall. Driver walked away unscathed. He's a good guy, and now in the market for another 993.
