1993 Porsche 968 Base Convertible 2-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Delray Beach, Florida, United States
|
I bought this 1993 968 Cabriolet about 12 months ago. It had previously been owned by a women who lives in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. It had been sitting in a lot in Ft. Lauderdale for more than a year. It's was professionally detailed and cleaned up nicely. The car has only 78,500 miles on it. It is a rare green color with a black interior. It has the 3.0L engine with a 4 speed tiptronic transmission. This Porsche is in very good mechanical shape. I recently had major engine service done to it including the timing belt, water pump, tension rollers, etc. Like many 968's that are more than 20 years old with automatic transmissions, we recently replaced the flex plate auto dampner. This is a rubber part that bolts to the flywheel. Anyone who's a 968 fan knows the expense involved in doing the engine work and transmission repair. Big bucks and big headaches you won't have to deal with. The car runs and drives great! It's fast! Service records are available since I've had the car. The service was done by a great Porsche mechanic in Miami, who only works on 928's, 944's and 968's. The oil has recently been changed. I changed out the front tires with new17 inch Kumho ECSTA tires due to dry rot. The rears are also 17 inch Kumho ECSTA tires. They are in good shape. The car is not perfect and still needs some minor work done. I'm selling the car as is. The interior is in good shape, however with most cars more than 20 years old the seats will need to be replaced. We recently put on a new convertible top in addition to doing some work with the frame. There is some rubber molding that is missing where the doors and window meet the top. The original Porsche radio needed replacing so we put in a nice Alpine radio with blue tooth. Cosmetically the car needs some work. The left door handle recently broke. We're working on getting a replacement. The doors and fenders are in relatively good shape. There is some damage to the lower left side right behind the left side door (see pictures). The hood needs a little bit of body work. Both head lights work and go up and down (one front picture of the car were taken before the car went into the shop for service). And the hood and trunk are showing areas of oxidation. It's probably best that the entire car needs painting. This car is very rare. For those of you not familiar with the Porsche 968 it was an automobile sold by Porsche AG of Germany from 1991 to 1995, and marketed as the replacement for the Porsche 944. When production ceased in the 1995 model year, it represented the end of the line started almost 20 years earlier with the introduction of the Porsche 924. There were only a limited amount of Porsce 968's built and shipped to the states. Approximately 2000 coupes and 2000 cabriolets were imported to the United States between 1991 and 995. This color combination is very rare. Combined with the tiptronic transmission...maybe 10 in total were manufactured. If you have any questions or want to see the car I can be reached at 561 414-8477. Only serious buyers please! |

Revel in the glory of the Porsche 911 engine factory
Fri, Jan 2 2015A flat-six engine pumping away behind the driver defines the Porsche brand for many people, whether they are buying a Boxster, Cayman or 911. If you want to appreciate the sound and fury concentrated in the rear of these German sports cars even more, then take a tour of the company's 911 engine factory in Zuffenhausen, Germany, to see the work that goes into each one. We're long past the days of automotive assembly lines being deafening, dirty affairs, but it's still somewhat shocking to see just how sterile the plant in Zuffenhausen is. Each person wears a matching gray jumpsuit and gloves, and there's not a drop of grease of them. While the components are constantly coming down the line, there doesn't appear to be much of a rush. It's just a slow, steady movement that gives workers time to complete their appointed tasks. At least in this video, the employees don't even seem to talk to each other; the only sound is the hum of the plant or whir of tools. It's transfixing to watch these famous engine slowly come together largely from human hands. News Source: Cars via YouTube Plants/Manufacturing Porsche Technology Performance Videos engine
Porsche recalling 4,400 911, Boxster and Cayman models over hood latches
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Porsche has issued a "precautionary" and voluntary safety recall affecting some 4,400 sports cars across the globe. Here in the United States, the recall includes 1,382 911, Boxster convertibles and Cayman coupes, all of which are from model years 2014 and 2015.
Porsche will be replacing the lock bracket for the front cargo area (the frunk) after internal testing revealed that, while the vehicles meet "strength requirements," specific parts might not meet the company's quality standards throughout the vehicle's life. There have been no reports of accidents or injuries.
Owners of the affected cars will be notified within 60 days and will need to report to a nearby dealer for a free repair, which should take about 30 minutes.
Driving 50 years of Porsche 911 history
Fri, 06 Sep 2013Raiding The Porsche Museum For A Fun Track Day
It seems everyone is celebrating anniversaries this year: it's Aston's hundredth, Lamborghini's fiftieth, Ford Mustang's fiftieth, Chevy Corvette's sixtieth - and Tesla just turned ten or something. It's been a little out of hand, frankly, all these forced marketing festivities, but if we had to pick one milestone to really celebrate hard and party all night, the Porsche 911 would be at the top of our list.
Get ready for a major 911 blowout bash at next week's Frankfurt Motor Show. It was on September 12 back in 1963 at this very show where Porsche unveiled its "901" painted in a rather boring shade of beige. Though drably finished, the car caused a worldwide frenzy in the budding German sports car sphere.
