Greetings everyone,
I've got other projects in mind and it is time to move onto the next phase so I am officially offering my LS3 V8 Boxster for sale.
Offered for sale at $44,000.
2000 Porsche Boxster S - LS3 V8 Conversion -480 HP-
Approx. 145K on chassis, Just over 3,000 miles on conversion~
Grey/grey and is not perfect but in overall very good shape. Convertible top is fairly new and has a upgraded glass rear window. Lots of small dents that unfortunately I caused a lot of leaning over the car during installation but nothing horrible, I was quoted $300 to fix all the dents on the car. Drivers seat back bolster is torn and worn from getting in/out of the car, things like that but nothing that can't be fixed~ We have the technology, we can rebuild it~
The car was just weighed on a set of Longacre racing scales with approx. 1/2 a tank of gas weighed in at 2,991 pounds with the "quiet" exhaust system which adds about 50 pounds~
I have had a lot of fun with this project but it is time to let this one go and move onto bigger and better things. I completed the conversion myself and documented the process which you can read about and watch progress videos here:
