Porsche is a sports car brand synonymous both with performance and everyday drivability. Now, one 911 owner has taken that to the next level with their very own Safari build. It’s extensive, it’s pretty, and it can be yours for a cool $69,997.

Up for sale over on Facebooks Marketplace, this 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera (997) has 109,000 miles on the odometer, a 3.6-liter flat-six engine, and a six-speed manual gearbox. At the 85,000-mile mark, the current owner purchased it and had a new clutch installed. Of course, it was the other additional work he did after that maintenance that makes this car so eye-catching.

He says that around the 100,000-mile mark, he installed a 2.5-inch lift with Bilstein struts, custom aluminum spacers, Elephant Racing adjustable strut mounts, SPC adjustable rear lower control arms, mudflaps, and Tarett Engineering adjustable rear toe arms. These pieces allowed the car to run 16-inch Fuchs wheels with Toyo AT3 all-terrain tires.

With the technical details of the Safari build cared for, it was time to address the aesthetics. The car features a custom vinyl wrap, a Getty Design ducktail spoiler, upgraded DRLs and LED tail lights, and even custom Safari badging. Literally on top of all that is an Inno Ski box that matches the vinyl wrap and a Porsche factory roof rack.

The owner also added a hidden trailer hitch behind the license plate and deleted the muffler. This isn’t just a lifted Porsche with a fancy vinyl wrap. It’s engineered to actually go on and off-road while rewarding the driver and carrying some extra stuff when needed. The owner has posted on Reddit that he’s managed snow, hauled a bike around with it, and even met Magnus Walker.

Those interested can see the full Marketplace ad here. The 911 is located in Oregon and the only issue known by the seller is that the sunroof doesn’t go all the way back when opened. That seems like a small price to pay for a vehicle that will absolutely turn heads everywhere and likely maintain a high value for years to come.
