That's like saying you wouldn't pay $50 for a $100 bill...because you don't like Benjamin Franklin

There is some great info on this Forum regarding the Andial build. But IIRC, the total bill is in the $45-50K area.

I love all the M&M colored cars, even Rubystone, but this seems like it's close to "S" money.

There is a Turbo with under 3K miles on Craigslist for $99K. Not orange, but for 40K I'm sure it can be painted any color with some money left over for tasteful upgrades.

Then..Just...Do...It! Worst case is that you end up owning a car that you will absolutely love and all the trolls hate. I mean, how bad is that?

actually its not even remotely like that. A $100 bill is valued at $100 by everyone, this car is not valued at $140k for I'd say anyone.

this is a car with dubious value.

Andial conversion, good or bad depending on who you are.
orange color....slim audience for resale


The car should be in the low $90s, if that...not $140k.

For $140k, I'd get a low mile silver Turbo S and keep $15k in the bank for repairs.

I've seen that Ca plate before"FAKE ID"...maybe a picture of this car in a thread here?

Awesome color, agree the HB's need to be body color.

Way over the top pricing, but Wilhoit's got a couple of TT's FS-one over $100K

Personally, the Blood Orange looks better that this Tangerine. I assume they are different colors, and not just the camera/lighting.

Andial is on a par with Ruf in 911 mods if you know your 911 history. Long racing history with Porsche (since the 70s), lots of wins with 935s, Daytona, IMSA, Pike's Peak, etc. Ruf does serial number cars as a manufacturer but Andial is the real deal. Not sure how active they are any more. It would be comparable in added value to a non-Ruf serial # Turbo done over by Ruf.

Great car.

Don't agree in terms of resale value. Andial produces a quality product, but I don't think their name recognition and following is nearly as good for anyone but super knowledgeable porsche folks.

who am I kidding, for that price, this would be in my driveway:



I don't think I could stomach paying $140k for any 993, period.

In my BIASED opinion, there are at least two modifications that add value: Andial and RUF. My car is the later.

I have experienced both the Andial 3.8 twin plug and (obviously) the RUF Turbo R. Both of these cars are limited in supply and have exceptional reputations for being durable upgrades.

Most other modifications devalue the car. Or at least limit the number of interested buyers. However, many of these mods definitely upgrade the peformance of the car.

I agree with you but you said you wouldn't pay $40k for it. Buy it for $40k, sell it for $90K, wait a year or two and buy that red Ferrari (although you wouldn't be able to afford to service it)
