I purchased this car as a potential project, but realized I do not have the time needed to bring this Porsche back to prime condition. I purchased this car from the previous owner, who had the vehicle since 1995. It has 27k miles on it when he purchased it. The car now has 74k miles. When I purchased the car, it had been sitting for at least 3 years. The car shows no signs of abuse, it simply needs work due to neglect. The exterior shows no major defects, short of needing paint. There is no rust to be found on the body. There are a few dings here and there, but nothing major whatsoever. There is a crack in the windshield, which will need replacement. The previous owner stated that the top has been replaced once, but it now shows two small tears that need attention. The interior will need cleaning and refurbishing. The seats will need to be recovered as well as the center console lid. Some random fasteners are missing, not many.

When I purchased the car, I had it flat-bedded home as I did not want to attempt to start a vehicle that had been sitting for that long without changing fluids and inspecting parts. I drained and replaced the oil, filter, and coolant, and drained the fuel tank. I removed the spark plugs which looked clean, and put a small amount of marvel mystery oil in each cylinder to help ensure the piston rings were not seized, and manually cranked the engine without the plugs in to coat the cylinder liners. I then put in a new battery, new plugs, new premium fuel, and cranked the engine but it wouldn't start. I then diagnosed that the fuel pump was not working, and replaced it with an OEM Bosch pump. After more cranking the engine did fire, and ran rough for a few minutes but cleared up and ran beautifully. Since then, I have tried to start it every other day. It always seems to run rough at first, but then clears right up.

I have driven it up and down the street a few times without issue. The 6-speed standard transmission shifts fine and the clutch engages well. The brakes seem fine, with good pedal feel and no strange noises. The lights work fine, but not all of the gauges work.

From what research I have done, there were not many 968 Cabrios imported to the US, so it should have a good upside value over time. I have a clear title in my possession.

I am NOT accepting offers below my asking price, and I am NOT interested in trades. This is a NO RESERVE auction, you bid, you buy! Please do not bid unless you intend to buy!!!

Please CALL (DO NOT TEXT!) with any questions about this car. 609-709-7237, my name is Ed.

Chevy Corvette Z06, Ford F-150 Raptor join Lego Speed Champs

Tue, Oct 20 2015

Get ready to park some performance machines on your desk: Lego's 2016 line of Speed Champions kits will add seven new vehicles for next year, according to an update to the database Brickset. These include some serious muscle like a Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and Ford Mustang GT. There's also a listing called "Chevrolet Camaro Drag Race" and a very cool combo titled "Ford F-150 Raptor Ford/Model A Hot Rod". Fans of European performance don't need to be jealous, though. The database shows a kit called "Porsche 919 Hybrid and 917K Pit-Lane." Plus for fans of the Four Rings, the Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro and R8 LMS Ultra are also getting their own Lego models. Fourtitude appears to have some leaked shots, if you want to see what these kits will look like. Lego has partnered with Porsche, McLaren, and Ferrari and offers Speed Champions kits for vehicles like the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1, Ferrari 458 Italia GT2, and LaFerrari. The models in the series aren't as heavily detailed as the massive Mini Cooper or Volkswagen Bus sets, but they make up for that in value. The individual cars retail for a fairly affordable $14.99. The Formula One playset tops the current range at $99.99, but it comes with a truck, racecar and team figures.
