Selling my ultra custom 1996 Porsche twin turbo-twin plug 3.8 liter powerhouse with over 600HP... aka BIG BIRD.

This is an amazing car and hope you enjoy reading about it as much as I have enjoyed driving her. She just does not get as much drive time as she wants. She is like a big dog that needs to be run. She loves to run hard and fast!

Where do I start? The motor is probably the most fascinating part of the car and is a crowd pleaser. The car was designed and engineered by S-CARGO racing in San Rafael,CA. They are one of the top Porsche air cooled specialists in the country. Known for building unbelievable air cooled Porsches. Twin plug conversions along with fabrication and design are their forte. Thank you Rob and Mark and the entire S-Cargo staff for putting in the hard work and building this masterpiece. The car was built so that it would be reliable enough for daily driving and simple enough for another Porsche shop to work on if needed.

Now more about the car. It started out as a 1996 Porsche C4S and was completely stock. So much has been changed, upgraded and modified that the car is far from stock. The car was meant to be a dream car build and everything done first class with open check book.

Over 300k has been invested in this beauty with records and documentation of build. The motor is a totally rebuilt twin turbo motor rebuilt completely. Over 100k alone was spent on the motor rebuilding and modifying it not including the cost of the initial motor (30k). The transmission was dissembled and upgraded with Guards GT4060 limited slip differential, and viscous coupling, high performance clutch and completely resealed. The real beauty of this build is the specialized fabrication and fitment of the parts. She is a rolling work of art and people love to see and hear it run.

She is not hard to miss. The speed yellow paint is gleaming bright. All bodywork done by UACC in Burlingame,CA. The body was professionally refinished in its factory color Speed Yellow and rain gutters have been shaved just like the real RUF Porsches. Paint job and custom body cost over 20k. The RUF body kit(not obtainable any more 7k) was carefully fit to the body. Recaro A8 seat backs and roll bar were color matched and installed. Immediately upon completion it was sent to S-Cargo racing for its transformation.

For a list of work performed please see the extensive list below. I may have missed a few things but you can see that its a lot to remember. Many pics are posted in this ad so it may take a few minutes to load.

Sha-wing! The engine is a work of art and the interior is top shelf. GLWS.
