1992 Porsche 968 Cabriolet. Black, Black, Black. 57k mi. With option 220, LSD. Incredible and rare car with some rare and desirable options.

Background:
I am a collector of 968's. I've had 14 over the years. This was my first and the one that got me hooked. This is also the best one I've ever seen in person tho' I've certainly seen some nice ones on the internet.  I've owned 33 Porsches and 14 968's. This is my second favorite car of all time. (57 black Speedster) from among Speedsters, 356 SC's, 914-6 s, 911SC's, Turbos, 951's, 75 Carreras.  I've owned it for 8 years and must sell it for several reasons. This is a PCA car.
BTW, I've sold 14 Porsches and 10 968's on eBay and can provide some references from these transactions.  I am not a dealer and I do not buy and sell cars for profit.  The car is virtually perfect! 100% original. Not restored in any way. All factory applied paint. 1 exception. Upgraded Sony radio Multi CD player.

Reason for sale:
I am retired and fixed income. I have two others and I am simply paranoid about driving this one because it is so perfect. Two of the four have to go and I would rather someone else enjoy a car that is so perfect that I constantly worry about it.  In addition, I've recently relocated and downsized with much smaller garage. Subaru Outback acquired as daily driver so two toys have to go. This car which I am paranoid to drive and the Boxster  have to go as I can't give up the speed yellow cab or the "CS" copy. 

Exterior Cosmetics:
All 100% original factory paint, no body repairs, no rash, no scrapes, scratches, dents, dings, fades or flaws anywhere (Exception: for see photos where I point at 3 tiny items.)  The paint gets comments every place this car goes.  Seriously, the paint on this car is shockingly perfect.  I've been called out on my description because the photos of the wheels clearly show flaws (curb rash) so let me deal with that separately. I stand by my statement about the car with the exception of the wheels. These are not original to the car. They were hurredly purchased to return the car to stock for a deal that fell through. 

Convertible top:
Black top and rear window original but excellent. Top mechanism works perfectly, locks in place perfectly and is leak free.

Interior Cosmetics:
Black leather sport seat interior is perfect and has never had Armorall or any other protectant or restorer used ever.  Interior has only been cleaned with natural hide foods and leather conditioners. There is not even a hint of a dash crack. The car has always been kept covered in the sun. I had a quick on, quick off cover for the interior and a windshield screen that I always used to prevent sun damage.  See photo for bolster condition. :)

Mechanical and Accessories:
None of the usual 968 bugs. Timing belt and water pump fine. Brakes and 6 speed transmission fine. Mobile1 conversion 5 years ago. Service records binder goes with the car. Recent oil change and tech inspection. Everything on this car works. Every single light, cruise control, dash funtions, etc. No surprises.  My maintenance motto is deal with honest people and do expensive preventive rather than life altering repairs.

Wheels and Tires:
I recently returned the wheels to original 16's as I had a buyer who wanted original so I removed the aftermarkets. However, at the point of delivery his unhappy wife entered and nixed the deal. (He had it coming, but I lost the sale.) Rear tires have less than a documented 400 miles on them. Front tires less than 2000. I had to put fresh rubber on in order to do the wheel swap.  The wheels can be restored for about $400 or you can upgrade to 17"s or 18"s.

Music:
Sony 10 CD changer and AM/FM. 

Photos: 
I've displayed the maximum amount of photos the listing will allow. Please note the photos showing the underside of the engine and trunk lids, the fuel filler compartment, engine compartment and the trunk ledge and rubber. These photos are meant to display how immaculate this car is throughout. The entire car is like that. Note driver side seat bolster.  Pointing fingers are the only two paint flaws on the entire car. There is no road rash anywhere on this vehicle. No lower or front bumper and no hood rash whatsoever. Only the items I've pointed at.

Summary and Bold Statement:
This car has no issues and is PCA Manhattan trophy capable with preparation.
 
All questions welcomed.

Please do not bid of you have fewer than 10 completed eBay transactions or less than a 95% rating. 

NOTE: ONCE again. Virtually perfect! 100% original. Not restored in any way. All factory applied paint. The only thing non original is the Sony radio and 10 disc changer. This car is a ready made show stopper winner. It needs nothing.

Porsche acquires Kyalami race track at auction

Mon, 28 Jul 2014

With more victories under its belt than any other manufacturer, you could say, in a figurative sense at least, that Porsche owns countless numbers of race tracks around the world. But here we're not talking about figuratively owning a track - we're talking about literally buying one. And Porsche has just bought Kyalami.
Kylamai, for those unfamiliar, is a grand prix circuit near Johannesburg in South Africa. Between 1967 and 1985, and again in '92 and '93, it was home to the South African Grand Prix, and has since hosted a variety of local and lower-level international races, but apparently fell on hard times. As a result, the track's owners - listed as Universal Property Professionals - put it up for auction. Bidders had to deposit four million Rand (about $380k) to participate, but after just 50 seconds, the auction was over.
The winning bid was placed - via telephone from the local press launch for the Macan - by Porsche South Africa CEO Toby Venter, who bid a reported 205 million rand (about $19.5 million) to take over the complex. The German automaker's South African division reportedly intends to keep the track open for racing, but could also be expected to use the facility for testing, customer track days and such moving forward.

Porsche patent sketches show removable headrest wind deflector

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

While driving around in a convertible might seem glamorous, ask anyone with long hair and they'll likely tell you how it really is: the wind buffets, your hair goes everywhere and it's anything but glamorous. That's why you see so many convertibles driving with their tops up, their windows up or wind deflectors in place. But Porsche is apparently preparing to kick it up to the next level.
These patent drawings have leaked out, demonstrating what appears to be some new kind of wind-deflecting device being developed by Porsche. The mechanism is apparently fitted to the headrest itself and designed to keep the wind buffeting specifically around the head down to a minimum while allowing the car's occupants to enjoy the top-down driving experience.
No word on when it might hit the market, but we won't be surprised to see this kind of device appear on a future version of the Boxster or 911 Cabriolet. But nowhere else: despite the apparent leak, the patent drawings suggest that Porsche will be keeping this technology proprietary. Whether sister brands like Volkswagen, Bentley or Lamborghini will get their hands on it remains to be seen.

Best compact SUVs of 2022

Thu, Oct 20 2022

Compact SUVs are now the go-to choice for family transportation. Actually, considering how popular they are, they have clearly moved beyond only family duty. With such popularity, though, comes an awful lot of competitors, and it can be difficult to figure out which one might be the best compact SUV for you.  It's important to note that by "compact SUV" we're talking about a specific segment. As we describe in our more comprehensive "Best small SUVs" list, there are also subcompact SUVs that vary widely in size amongst themselves, but are clearly smaller than the SUVs below. Frankly, today's segment of compact SUVs isn't exactly compact — some have more cargo space than vehicles that are considered midsize based on their exterior dimensions. They've all grown considerably over the years. While many lists out there just rattle off every vehicle available in a segment, we thought we'd be a bit more helpful and curate your shopping a bit with the top-recommended choices reviewed by Autoblog. We've included both mainstream and compact luxury SUV choices. Best compact SUVs of 2023 and 2024 2024 Honda CR-V Why it stands out: Best-in-class space; excellent hybrid powertrain; sharp interior style; Honda dependabilityCould be better: No lower-price base trim levels; no sporty or off-road niche models; no plug-in hybrid Read our full 2024 Honda CR-V Review Consider the CR-V the baseline for any compact SUV search, and look extra closely at the superb CR-V Hybrid option. Objectively speaking, it's tough to beat due to its massive cargo capacity, voluminous back seat, strong-yet-efficient engines, well-balanced driving dynamics, competitive pricing and features,  and well-regarded reliability. It's easy to see why it continues to be such a best-seller: for the vast majority of compact SUV buyers, and especially families, it checks every box. That's been the case for many years now, however. The all-new 2023 Honda CR-V changes things up by adding a bit more style and character, particularly in terms of its interior design and how surprisingly enjoyable the Sport and Sport Touring hybrid trim levels are to drive.
