In 2004, Porsche released the “50 Years of 550 Spyder Edition” Porsche Boxster for the final year of the 986, limited to just 1953 examples paying tribute to the iconic 550 Spyder race car. This Boxster was originally delivered to Porsche of Hawaii in April of 2004, and features a model-exclusive Cocoa Brown leather interior, a Cocoa Brown soft top, 18” painted Carrera wheels, a 6-speed manual transmission, and the Bose High-End Sound Package. Showing approximately 40k miles on the odometer, this collectible “50 Years of 550 Spyder Edition” Boxster is now being offered by its owner out of Hawaii.
All 550 Spyder editions came finished in GT Silver Metallic, a color that had been previously reserved for only the Carrera GT and 40th-anniversary edition 911. Exterior equipment includes a unique 550 Spyder edition polished exhaust finisher, a Cocoa Brown soft top, and 18” painted Carrera wheels mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport tires showing date codes from 2017 and approximately 300 miles of use. The seller notes a scrape on the front bumper, holes from the license plate bracket, a small crack in the bottom of the passenger mirror housing, and a dent under the passenger side rocker panel. Additional images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The interior is appointed with Cocoa Brown leather including power-adjustable Sport Seats. A commemorative dash plaque denotes the car as number 320 of 1953 units built in total. Factory features include the Bose High-End Sound Package, a remote 6-disc CD changer, and Porsche Communication Management II (PCM II).
The 986 Boxster S is equipped with a 3.2L mid-mounted flat-six engine, and this specially tuned limited edition receives an additional 6 HP for a total output of 266 HP at 6200 RPM. A 6-speed manual transmission sends power to the rear wheels. 550 Spyder edition cars also received several other performance enhancements over the standard Boxster S including a factory short shifter, slightly lower and stiffer suspension, and Porsche Stability Management (PSM). The engine was reportedly replaced by Porsche Hawaii at 10k miles and maintenance completed under the current ownership includes new rear CV boots, new tires, a new convertible top inner liner, a new fuel pump, a new A/C receiver, compressor, and a new water pump.
The original owner's manuals and a clean title.

I see the auction will end before I can get late questions answered. It will still be for sale here in Honolulu.

@Hotride there is nothing "destroyed " about any part of the car. The pics tend to over emphasize flaws. Further, anything you spot is easy to tend to, which was my plan when I bought it. However, I am buying a house now, so extra toys are getting sold. Please keep comments respectful rather than derogatory.
@Smitti56 it was replaced when owned by the first owner. He said he thinks it was the IMS. I will try and confirm today.
@cdporterfield I meant answered below ?
@Adoptagreatpet answered above.
@2mAn that sounds about right. It's been lower at around $1200 when fuel was cheaper. I shipped several cars back and forth including shipping a camper van over here.
@Roballen85044 I believe so. I'll call the dealer today and try to confirm
Hello. Regarding engine replacement, was the replacement engine as per original “Spyder Edition” spec, or something else?
Last I saw shipping from Hawaii to LA/ Long Beach was ~$1500
@Adoptagreatpet you as the buyer can get a quote takes less than 15 minutes to do so.

I don’t know if this question was answered but do you know the cost of shipping this car to Los Angeles. Thank you.

Can you elaborate on why the engine was replaced? Beautiful car; needs a little TLC in my estimation! GLWA!
Despite not being a daily driver, the deteriorated state of the seats, side/back of the steering wheel, lower dash near the glove compartment, seats, passenger upper door, and many injuries to the exterior may push this into the fair category on Hagerty. Regardless, with the mechanics being good, this still makes for a great car for the right person and/or at the right price

@Efariab will do.
@cdporterfield
Would you please post some pictures of the under carriage ( under the engine, drive train, front/rear suspension, etc.) and also write age of the "tires' ??
Thanks in advance,
Efariab
Note that the mileage is 40,300 and the engine was replaced at 23,000ish

Hi @cdporterfield
I said TLC not refurbished. But clearly some needs...
as mentioned the bumper, the cracked mirror housing, the damaged , the rocker dent, all the wheels need refinishing as they have been curbed... TLC
The engine replacement is good
GLWTA!
Another reason to wish I lived in
Hawaii….GLWTA.
@manuals4ever It actually “needs” very little. Perhaps a couple of cosmetic touch-ups, but mechanical it’s perfect. The biggest flaw is the front bumper, but it’s actually not so noticeable in person.
Great model the 550 Spyder! This one has low miles but looks to need some TLC.
GLWTA!
