1992 Porsche 968 Base Convertible 2-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Tuckerton, New Jersey, United States
|
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. |

2014 Porsche 911 GT3 and GT3 Cup step out early
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Though Porsche won't be feeding us the full 911 enchilada until tomorrow's Geneva-based festivities, we have managed to scare up some official images of the 2014 911 GT3, as well as the all-new 911 GT3 Cup. As Porsche is celebrating 50 years of the 911, we anticipate a good day for great cars.
The new GT3 looks every bit the proper successor to the racy 911 nameplate, with a fixed rear wing large enough to serve cocktails on, a curvaceous body kit and 20-inch wheels that offer a dominating on-road stance. It's a good bet that Porsche will have coaxed something like 450 horsepower from the naturally aspirated, 3.8-liter flat-six engine that hangs over the car's rear axle. A seven-speed manual and Porsche's own PDK transmission are the likely gearbox offerings.
Should the mental quickness and imposing wingery of the standard GT3 not be enough for you, future racecar driver, Porsche is also bringing a GT3 Cup car to Geneva. The German automaker has given just a few scant details about this Cup car - 460 hp on tap, a production run of just 2,400 units - including three images of the kitted out racer. Certainly more and finer details will emerge, when Porsche shines the spotlights on its new 911s tomorrow.
Porsche reveals new Panamera Turbo S ahead of Tokyo debut
Thu, 31 Oct 2013For many buyers in the market for a luxury sports sedan, style is as important as performance. But while the Porsche Panamera undoubtedly delivers in the latter category, it falls somewhat short in the former. Porsche went to some lengths (if not quite far enough for some tastes) to improve its four-door model's visual appeal with the facelift revealed earlier this year, but now it's time to up the performance game with the new Panamera Turbo S.
Set to be revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show in just a few weeks from now, the new top-tier Panamera benefits from several key upgrades over the existing Turbo and the pre-facelift Turbo S. For one, its 4.8-liter twin-turbo V8 now produces 570 horsepower (up from 520 in the new Turbo and 550 in the old Turbo S and the latest Cayenne Turbo S) and 553 pound-feet of torque (up from the current Turbo's 516 but the same as the previous model). Despite the power boost, however, Porsche is quoting the same 3.6-second 0-60 time for the new Panamera Turbo S as it did for the previous one - but then that hardly required improvement in the first place. Top speed, however, is up to 192 miles per Autobahn-blurring hour, two mph faster than the previous model.
Other features include carbon-ceramic brakes (hopefully with more durable bolts than sister companies Lamborghini and Bentley have been using) packed inside the wheels from the 911 Turbo and an exclusive shade of greige called Palladium. And for the first time, customers will be able to order this top-spec model in long-wheelbase Executive trim. But don't expect it to come cheap: MSRP (before delivery and options) is quoted at $180,300 for the standard wheelbase and $200,500 for the stretched model. That's two and a half times the price of a base Panamera, and makes the new Panamera Turbo S Executive both the most expensive and most powerful Porsche your can buy this side of a 918 Spyder. Haven't passed out yet? There's more to digest in the press release, so head on down below to take it all in.
Porsche's Mauer recalls the history of the 918 Spyder, hints about next-gen 911
Wed, 26 Feb 2014The night before Porsche handed me the keys to its 2015 Macan to drive on both road and track, the company threw together a great dinner for the assembled media in Leipzig. Hosted in Porsche's spaceship-shaped customer delivery center in the eastern German town, I'll admit that I spent the bulk of my night grabbing hors d'oeuvres from passing waiters (they do a nice tuna sashimi), milling around a collection of historic and interesting vehicles on the top floor and gulping down Warsteiner.
In an era of mega car companies, the story of how the 918 came to be was really refreshing.
Before the evening was over, however, Porsche design chief Michael Mauer stopped by my table to exchange pleasantries and thank us all for coming out to drive the Macan. My fellow diners and I passed a pleasant half-hour or more picking the brain of the forthcoming Mauer, and somehow or another, the topic turned to Porsche's newest supercar, the 918 Spyder. In an era of mega car companies (the Volkswagen Group included) and massive development teams, the story of how the 918 came to be is really refreshing.
