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!

Porsche hybrids come up short at Le Mans

Tue, Jun 17 2014

Two cars, one finish, zero victories. That's a brief synopsis of Porsche's hybrid-vehicle performance in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France. There's always next year. Porsche entered two 919 Hybrid vehicles in the race. The No. 14 car essentially limped to the finish line after encountering drivetrain problems. The other Porsche hybrid, No. 20, was driven by Germany's Timo Bernhard, New Zealand's Brendon Hartley and Australia's Mark Webber. That car ran for more than 22 hours before its own powertrain issues did that racing team in for good. Both vehicles ran towards the front of the pack at times during the race, and the No. 20 car actually led the race after about 20 hours. Still, both teams said they were disappointed in the results. Porsche sister company Audi came up big for the 13th time in the race's long and storied history. One Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro won the race, while another finished second. The Toyota that had pole-position and was winning much of the race shut down after 15 hours of racing because of electrical issues and Nissan had trouble with is ZEOD RC. Check out Porsche's press release below, and read here for a more general race recap. STRONG PERFORMANCE BY PORSCHE 919 HYBRIDS BUT NO DREAM ENDING IN PROTOTYPE RETURN TO LE MANS Le Mans. After a strong performance by both Porsche 919 Hybrids, the Porsche Team was left empty-handed after a dramatic final stage of the race. Following more than 22 hours, car No. 20 driven by Timo Bernhard (Germany), Brendon Hartley (New Zealand) and Mark Webber (Australia) suffered a powertrain problem at the world's most famous endurance race, the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Earlier in the race the LMP1 class car was leading overall for a significant period of time. The second innovative and highly complex prototype – in the hands of Romain Dumas (France), Neel Jani (Switzerland) and Marc Lieb (Germany) – likewise proved to be very competitive, but was hampered by a drivetrain problem. However, their No. 14 car crossed the finish line under its own power. After a thrilling start to the race with changing weather conditions, numerous accidents and a relatively calm night, Bernhard took the overall lead in the No. 20. The longtime Porsche factory driver returned to the top spot after 20 of the 24 hours. At 12:36 (CET) on Sunday, he handed the leading car over to Webber. Less than 20 minutes later the Australian was forced to slow down and drove solely on electric power back to pit lane.
