RARE Colored 1993 Porsche 968 Cabriolet

WP0CA2964PS840178

This is a rare Porsche 968. I want to pass my Porsche 968 along with my passion onto the next enthusiast.  These cars are meant to be driven and for others to enjoy!  It’s fast and fun!

I’ve been slowly and steadily restoring it. Read on and see what has been done to this 20 plus year old car. It not perfect yet, but it’s a great start. The car is being sold as is. 

81,000 miles…metallic green color with a black interior.  3.0L VarioCam engine with a 4-speed Tiptronic transmission.  The 968's engine was the second-largest 4-cylinder ever offered in a production car up to that time. 

Previously owned by a family in Ft. Lauderdale, this Porsche 968 was part of the settlement. It had been in storage for a couple years when I purchased it. I had it professionally detailed. This is currently my daily driver. It not perfect yet, but it’s a great start.  It’s being sold at a very reasonable price. If I had it painted it would be up there with the other Porsche convertibles in price.

ENGINE AND DRIVE LINE…

The car has had major engine service preformed including the timing belt, water pump, and front engine oil seals along with new belt rollers, ($1500.00). Transmission service including the flex plate was performed (auto damper $ 1800.00).  AC conversion to new style 134 blows nice and cold. Heater works, as it should as well.

This car runs and drives great as a Porsche should…smooth, fast and nimble. The oil and other fluids have recently been changed.  I removed the old tires off the front and change them with new 17 inch Kumho ECSTA tires.

An aftermarket convertible top was installed in addition to doing some work with the frame.  The top opens and closed manually. I recently purchase the locking handles, which are included with the car,

INTERIOR…

The interior is in pretty good shape, however with most cars more than 20 years old the seats will need to be recovered due to regular wear and tear.

The original radio was replaced with an upgraded Alpine unit with blue tooth.

The car has beautiful black rugs and perfect door panels. The rear seats with storage options were added.

BODY…

The over all body is in excellent shape and pretty much ready for paint. There is a small dent on the lower left side right behind the left side door.  

The hood has a small dent on the upper left hand corner.  A little bit of bodywork will remedy that. And the hood and trunk are showing clear coat peeling.  I was planning to repaint the entire car. 

All lights are fully functional and working.

Fun facts…

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 Porsche 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!

NFL draft recruits to get Porsche 911s for fastest 40 times

Thu, Feb 5 2015

It's fair to say the NFL Combine is a big deal for players entering a draft. Their future quite literally comes down to a series of drills. You a defensive tackle? Better rock out on the bench press. Hoping to be the next great wide receiver? Your vertical better be awesome. And what of the running backs? Well, few drills match the importance of the 40-yard dash. That particular drill will have a renewed importance not just for the RBs, but for other skill positions at this year's Combine, as the three fastest times will be gifted a shiny new Porsche 911. Adidas is offering up the three cars, which ESPN reports are valued at about $83,000 a piece. That means these new recruits won't be rolling around in a Turbo or GT3. They will, however, sport a questionable sense of design, as the German shoe company has fitted a cheetah print, which is meant to match one of the company's new trainers. You can check both the car and the shoe out above. NFL fans, meanwhile, should feel free to head into Comments and let us know who you think will take home a new 911. Related Video:

Porsche 911 GT3 named Performance Car of the Year by Road & Track

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

The Porsche 911 GT3 is a very, very good performance car. Yes, we know this is like saying fire is hot and a shovel to the head hurts. What's different about this proclamation, then? Well, we bring up the 911 GT3's inherent goodness because our friends at Road & Track have named it their 2015 performance car of the year.
This is, our joking aside, a big accomplishment for the 911 GT3, due largely to the field of cars it beat out. There were many equally track-focused wonders in attendance, including the Ferrari 458 Speciale, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 and Dodge Viper SRT TA, as well as more capable everyday vehicles, like the Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, BMW M3 and Ford Mustang GT.
But it was the 475-horsepower, rear-engined track star that R&T fell for, with editor-in-chief Larry Webster calling out the Porsche's ridiculous, howling, 9,000-rpm redline, while other editors cited its phenomenal handling character.

Jay Leno's Dodge Challenger raises $585k for USO in Scottsdale

Mon, Jan 19 2015

Of all the metal moved in Scottsdale, AZ, this holiday weekend, the one you see here was hardly the most expensive. But it's noteworthy for another reason: despite being a relatively humble, second-hand 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8, raised an impressive $565,625. That's because, first of all, it belonged to Jay Leno, and secondly because the proceeds were going to the USO. Leno donated the modern muscle car from his collection to benefit our men and women in uniform, and was on hand to present the car on stage at the Gooding & Company auction, along with USO president J.D. Crouch II and former Army chief of staff General George W. Casey, Jr. After frenzied and patriotic bidding, the gavel ultimately dropped at $360,000, accompanied by over $200,000 in additional contributions, bringing the total amount donated to the USO to over half a million. Commendable though it was, of course the Challenger didn't garner the highest bids at the auction. A 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider sold for $7.7 million and a 1968 Ferrari 330 GTS fetched $2.4 million. A rare 1962 Ferrari 400 Superamerica Series I Coupe Aerodinamico sold for over $4,070,000 – which, according to Sports Car Market, is the most ever paid at auction for a 400 Superamerica. And a 1966 Porsche 906 Carrera 6 also sold for a record $1.98 million.
