1992 Porsche 968 Cabriolet - White With Blue Interior And Top - 6 Spd Manual on 2040-cars
Port Saint Lucie, Florida, United States
|
Mechanically good 1992 Cabriolet. Original top and paint. Original convertible cover also in good condition. This car is still one of the best handling cars on the road today. It is a lot of fun to drive and gets lots of smiles and comments from others on the road. Used mostly as a weekend car now, but has seen periods of use as a very reliable everyday vehicle. One of approximately 700 cabriolets delivered in 1992 to the North American market. This car is a well kept and has been garaged most of it's last 10 years. Previous history mostly unknown, but some records came with the car when I purchased it in 2005. Major service records from 2005 and on. PCA member from 2005 thru 2013. Carfax indicates that I am likely the fifth owner of this vehicle. Lots of parts have been updated / replaced / repaired. Major service performed a couple of thousand miles ago included timing belt / balance shaft service, replacement of the steering rack, and front suspension bushings. This car runs and drives better than when I purchased it. Some normal wear and tear to the paint and interior, especially considering that this vehicle is nearly 25 years old. Slight cracking of the leather on the upper exposed portion of the doors and minor wear of the driver's seat are the most obvious areas of note (see pictures). Passenger seat is in good shape. The rear window plastic is cracked at one location and has a small crease at a second. The crack has been sealed using reinforced clear duct tape. I tried to capture these items in the included pictures. The top does not leak. There are no dash cracks. The remote trunk release, the car alarm, and the power door locks all function properly. Even the clock still works and keeps accurate time. The tool kit is also complete. The original mechanic's gloves that were in the storage cubby in the engine compartment are missing. Air conditioning is functioning but requires normal service and a recharge. Previous service and recharge was performed in 2010. System runs, but stopped cooling about a year ago. Car is currently used only for 'top down' motoring so recharging the a/c has not been a priority. Tires are in good shape, as is the rest of the car. I would not hesitate to take this car on a road trip of any sort. I am currently preparing to move due to a job relocation and will not have room for this vehicle at my new location. Last time I moved I had to get rid of my 1988 BMW M6. The Porsche made it through that move but I can't hang on to it this time around....needless to say downsizing and moving are not very high on my list of things I look forward to. Car is available for local inspection. Let me know if there are any additional pictures of features that you would like to see and I will try to get them taken and posted or sent to you. Shipping is to be arranged by the purchaser or the car can be picked up locally. Vehicle will be stored in my garage for a short period of time to allow time for delivery arrangements. |

'Ring Queen Sabine Schmitz battles Ron Simons in Porsche vs Ferrari scrap
Tue, 04 Jun 2013We hope you have seven minutes to kill. RSR Nürburgring recently took the time to pit Sabine Schmitz and her slightly modified Porsche 911 GT3 RS against Ron Simons and his Ferrari 458 Italia in a sparring match around the infamous Green Hell. The clip begins with the two drivers engaging in a smidgeon of smack talk before the two get down to the business of beating each other's doors off around one of the most challenging courses in the world. Simons calls his car superior to Schmitz's 911, while Schmitz says she's up against nothing more than a Fiat driven by an old Dutch man.
Don't hold any punches, you two.
We won't spoil the finale for you, but we will say the tango is worth watching. At the end, the loser calls for a rematch. We can't wait to see that throwdown. Check out the clip below for yourself.
J.D. Power: Vehicle dependability at all-time high, Lexus and Porsche lead
Wed, 13 Feb 2013
Each year, J.D. Power and Associates surveys original owners of three-year-old vehicles to find out what kinds of problems they have had experienced over the last 12 months, and then it uses this data to create its annual Vehicle Dependability Study. This means that the models in the 2013 study are 2010 model year vehicles, and J.D. Power rates each make as well as the top individual models based on how many problems were experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100).
Debunking the idea that carryover models are more dependable than new or updated models, the 2013 study found that the average carryover model experienced 133 PP100, while all-new or redesigned vehicles for the 2010 model year had 116 PP100; vehicles that received minor changes fared the best with just 111 PP100. The overall average for all makes was 126 PP100, which is the lowest figure since the findings were first issued in 1989.
Porsche looks back on very first 911 Turbo
Wed, 11 Jun 2014Porsche has really hit on a winning formula with its series of videos going inside its vault. So far, we've seen the V8 911 prototype, mid-engine test mule and aerodynamic prototype. The company is sticking with the 911 theme in the latest entry, but this time it's an actual production car - the very first 911 Turbo ever made.
Being the first Turbo would make it important enough, but the car was also a birthday present for Louise Piëch, daughter of Ferdinand Porsche and sister to Ferry Porsche, and she regularly used the car. The family didn't just hand her a random car off the assembly line, either. She got to make it her own with some interesting modifications. She supposedly even painted landscapes from inside the car.
You have to wonder what Piëch thought of her present. The early Turbos had a reputation for being a bit of a handful to drive. The boost tended to bring the power all at once, which wasn't always welcome when cornering. She deserves some honor just for driving the car on the curvy, alpine roads. Scroll down to learn about this important Porsche, and we can't wait to see what car the brand showcases next.
