Porsche 968 Base Convertible 2-door on 2040-cars
Wickhaven, Pennsylvania, United States
Up for sale is my 1992 Porsche 968 convertible. I purchased this car 4 years ago in Florida. It had just less then 100,000 miles on it. All service records from 2003 are included. The engine was rebuilt at 95,000 miles. Included in the photos are a complete listing of the work done to the car after 2003 ,both before and after I bought it . The list is too long to talk about ,so please review the spreadsheet before you call with any questions. The car is essentially restored. The car runs beautifully and all of the operating systems work. The top is setup in manual mode. When I bought the car the right side convertible main bow was broken. I replaced it, retimed the motors and used it with the electric top lift for 2 years until last year one of the drive cables snapped. I have the replacement cable but because the top transmission units tend to generate a lot a friction, the cable will eventually break again. These transmissions (there are 2, L and R) can be rebuilt but manual operation is a breeze so I am leaving the car that way. The trip odometer reset does not work. The paintwork is very nice with only 3 chips/dents which are all shown in the photos. I think it was repainted before i bought it. The 4 way power leather seats both driver and passenger are working and the driver side has a manually inflatable lumbar support. The rear deck is removable and the 2 rear seats with seatbelts are usable. ( My 2 grandsons are the only passengers). AC and heating system, ABS, cruise control, CD radio with ipod input are all working. Many spares, relays, extra mats and custom car cover are all included. A new inflator for the space saver tire is included and the spacesaver is in great condition. The 18 inch tires with new aftermarket wheels have only 9,000 miles on them. The car has been garaged when not driven, but it is not a show queen. I drive it every week. I have the original manuals and tool kit with 2 sets of keys.

Porsche celebrates 50 years of 911 with some excellent pics
Tue, 12 Feb 2013The Porsche 911 is one of the most iconic sports cars of all time, and to celebrate the car's first 50 years, Porsche has released a stunning set of photos showing how far the 911 has come from the original back in 1963 to its current 991 generation. Unlike the recent 60-year photo spread that Chevrolet put together for the Corvette, though, Porsche's gallery only shows the original 911 and the current car.
Each time the 911 is redesigned, the car's front fenders, roofline and the shape of the side windows are key focal points. Even some of the interior cues have remained the same over the years, including the positioning of the ignition key on the left of the steering column and the five-gauge instrument cluster layout.
Scroll down for Porsche's press release breaking down the seven generations of the 911, and be sure to check out our gallery with plenty of high-res pics for you to download as a desktop wallpaper. In fact, we're providing these at 1920-pixels-wide instead of our usual 1280 wide. Enjoy!
Porsche goes karting in its Cayman GTS
Sun, 03 Aug 2014Think Mini is the king of Go-Kart Handling[TM]? Well, you might be mistaken, as Porsche proves here it's fully capable of delivering a driving experience that'd fit in quite nicely on a go-kart track.
Using a new and very red Cayman GTS, the Stuttgart-based manufacturer invades a kart track in northern Italy and sets the mid-engined sports car loose to slip, slide and zip its way around the circuit. As far as videos for Sunday evening go, this one ticks all the boxes.
Take a look.
