Up for auction is this 2006 Porsche 987 Cayman S finished in Speed Yellow over a black interior with leather Sport Seats. This 987 was generously appointed from the factory with options including the Sport Chrono Package and Exclusive color-matched details including Speed Yellow seatbelts, instrument dials, and painted seatbacks. It has also been customized with a GT3 RS style front bumper, carbon fiber rear wing, GT4 side scoops, flared rockers, and OZ Racing wheels as well as performance modifications including Bilstein struts, an IPD intake, H&R sway bars, and a Fabspeed exhaust. The car was originally sold in Nevada before it was acquired by the most recent owner in 2016 who went on to perform all of the modifications and upgrades which are extensively documented. This 987 is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Louisiana while showing just over 53k miles on the odometer.
This Cayman S is finished in Speed Yellow and has been modified with a 997 GT3 RS front bumper and NR Auto flared rocker panels as well as a carbon fiber rear wing and GT4-style side scoops from Composite Concepts Distribution. The lower front spoiler and bumper vent have been painted silver and a Rennline tow hook has been added along with a black 981-style rear Porsche logo. The seller notes some minor rock chips on the front bumper and side scoops as well as a rock chip in the windshield and a small touched-up imperfection on the passenger side rear bumper, detailed images are provided in the photo gallery along with a clean CARFAX report. This 987 rides on 19" OZ Racing Leggera HLT wheels dressed in new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires.
Inside, this Cayman S is appointed with a black interior featuring painted hardback Sport Seats along with Exclusive Speed Yellow seatbelts and instrument dials. The center console has been custom painted in Speed Yellow, and aluminum pedals have been installed along with Rennline stainless steel door sill overlays. Other factory options include a Sport steering wheel, heated front seats, the Sport Chrono Package, and the Preferred Package which adds the Bose Surround Sound System, self-dimming mirrors with an integrated rain sensor, and heated front seats. The full $72,305 factory specifications list is provided in the gallery and the seller reports the cabin to be in excellent condition with all gauges and accessories remaining fully functional.
This 987 is equipped with a naturally aspirated 3.4L flat-six engine that generates up to 295 HP and 251 lb.-ft of torque stock. The rear wheels are driven through a 6-speed manual transmission featuring a factory Sport Shifter. Other performance modifications include a Porsche X51 baffled oil pan, Bilstein B8 SP struts, an IPD intake, RSS adjustable rear toe steer kit, H&R sway bars, an LN Engineering oil filter adapter and a Fabspeed exhaust system with 2-cat headers, mid-pipes, and mufflers. The previous owner is said to have kept extensive service records and documentation regarding all the performance upgrades and cosmetic modifications.

@Cedwards not a problem at all. The previous owner told me he drove it over 2,700 miles home from NV to NJ when he purchased it, and that was before he made it the even better more enjoyable car that it is today! Just over 30 minutes left, good luck bidders!!
Would this have any issues making a ~1,000 trip to the midwest?

@Nolasport Thank you. As was also requested by another poster, would you be able to also provide photos of the undercarriage?
@Jolin You can do a google search based on the car's VIN to find the mentioned ad.
@Nolasport thx!!
@Jolin it is an old automated for sale listing of the car from over 5 years ago in 2016.
@Kaimax: where was the advertised before?? Thx.
@MorePower I braved the rain for you all today in attempt to get some video footage of the cayman which has now been uploaded to the listing. This car was highly spec'd from the factory and now shows in an ever more stunning fashion. Someone is going to get a fantastic, properly maintained Porsche cayman with all of the presence of a super car! Less than 24 hours left in this auction, bid away!
@Kaimax The seller in that article mentioned that the car had a slight leak at the rear main when he bought it and that he had it repaired. Yes, the rear main seal was performed and there are no leaks of any kind!
Are there any oil leaks? pictures of the undercarriage
Bid in the amount of $16,500
@Nolasport thank you.
The ad of the car from the previous sale (at 45k miles) mentioned that there was a slight leak at the engine/trans ( I didn't want to include an external link to this ad).
Do you know if this problem has been remedied?
Bid in the amount of $16,000
@MorePower Straight from LN Engineering's site... "The incidence of failure with a 2006-2008 M96 or M97 Engine as found in the Boxster, Cayman, and 911 that have the larger (but non-serviceable) IMS is highly unlikely. Best estimate is about a 1% failure rate." That being said... the car does have an LN Engineering oil filter adapter and an X51 baffled oil pan to improve lubrication, especially if the car were on track.
Was the ims bearing upgraded? Haven't seen any mention of that.
@Kaimax the gentleman did everything he could to build a GT4 until he decided it was time to buy one!
@Nolasport thank you. What is the reason for sale after all the modifications to customize the car?
@Kaimax car was owned by a PCA instructor, so yes it has seen the track a few times.
@Kaimax See comment about videos below, although a startup video has been sent to the auction manager and should be added soon. Will try to get some more videos coming!

I would like to bid if you answer my questions-
Bid in the amount of $12,000
where is the car located? Is it possible to see it?
Can we hear the exhaust and see a driving video please?
Pix underside also-
Do you know if the car has been tracked?
Bid in the amount of $10,750
@scuderia The wing, front bumper, and GT4 style side scoops all come from Composite Concepts Distribution, a popular brand across the 987 platform especially within the track variants. The side skirts come from NR Auto and all of the aftermarket body components are of a very high quality and the paint matches perfectly! Hope this helps. In my years of buying/selling it's usually almost easier/smarter to convert a car back to stock, but I couldn't touch this masterpiece... just look at it!
@broadwayjoe even with the massive book showing oil sample's and all I wasn't able to find any records indicating any sort of clutch replacement (or issues). The car as it sits shows absolutely no signs of needing a clutch, no chatter in the pedal and absolutely no slipping.
@Kaimax Will try to get a video or two taken and uploaded before the auction ends as all my guys are out of town racing. The car makes a fantastic sound across all RPM's, records show $6,000 in exhaust components alone as the owner was chasing that perfect noise. Not your typical plug and play system with drones etc...
Bid in the amount of $10,001
Who is the maker of the aftermarket bodywork and wing. Varying quality out there.. from TechArt to ebay Chinese . Thank you
Bid in the amount of $6,500
Bid in the amount of $5,950
Videos please?
Has the clutch been replaced?
Nice, nice nice! Now here is a Cayman that someone really took time to make it right. Super style, looks, options, etc.. Should do well. One of the better ones on BaT.
Wish my "open to buy" card was still available......
Bid in the amount of $5,000
