Just rebuilt the motor due to a spun main bearing (someone installed a scavenge pump on backwards, starving the engine of oil pressure).

Feels pretty good even with 110k miles on the original shocks and older Continental tires.

Pastel yellow - love it or hate it.

I love that color.

My 7/98 WPOCA Cab was purchased at Reeves Import Motorcars Tampa Florida, dealer 0911. Maintenance manual shows first service (with dealer stamp) at 29 miles on September 10, 1998.

Your car was built in January of 1998 and was registered as a MY99 car based on the VIN Porsche assigned to it. From January to August of 1998, both W & X cars were built along side each other. The X cars were destined for the NA market and the W cars went to the ROW market. Commencing September of 1998 all cars had X in the VIN. There were roughly 2000 W cars built and shipped to ROW customers in 1997 before X production began in January of 1998.
