1992 Porsche 968 Cabriolet. Black, Black, Black. 57k mi. With option 220, LSD. Incredible and rare car with some rare and desirable options.

Background:
I am a collector of 968's. I've had 14 over the years. This was my first and the one that got me hooked. This is also the best one I've ever seen in person tho' I've certainly seen some nice ones on the internet.  I've owned 33 Porsches and 14 968's. This is my second favorite car of all time. (57 black Speedster) from among Speedsters, 356 SC's, 914-6 s, 911SC's, Turbos, 951's, 75 Carreras.  I've owned it for 8 years and must sell it for several reasons. This is a PCA car.
BTW, I've sold 14 Porsches and 10 968's on eBay and can provide some references from these transactions.  I am not a dealer and I do not buy and sell cars for profit. 

Reason for sale:
I am retired and fixed income. I have two others and I am simply paranoid about driving this one because it is so perfect. One or two of the three have to go and I would rather someone else enjoy a car that is so perfect that I constantly worry about it. 

Exterior Cosmetics:
All 100% original factory paint, no body repairs, no rash, no scrapes, scratches, dents, dings, fades or flaws anywhere (Exception: for see photos where I point at 3 tiny items.)  The paint gets comments every place this car goes.  Seriously, the paint on this car is shockingly perfect.  I've been called out on my description because the photos of the wheels clearly show flaws (curb rash) so let me deal with that separately. I stand by my statement about the car with the exception of the wheels. These are not original to the car. They were hurredly purchased to return the car to stock for a deal that fell through. 

Convertible top:
Black top and rear window original but excellent. Top mechanism works perfectly, locks in place perfectly and is leak free.

Interior Cosmetics:
Black leather sport seat interior is perfect and has never had Armorall or any other protectant or restorer used ever.  Interior has only been cleaned with natural hide foods and leather conditioners. There is not even a hint of a dash crack. The car has always been kept covered in the sun. I had a quick on, quick off cover for the interior and a windshield screen that I always used to prevent sun damage.  See photo for bolster condition. :)

Mechanical and Accessories:
None of the usual 968 bugs. Timing belt and water pump fine. Brakes and 6 speed transmission fine. Mobile1 conversion 5 years ago. Service records binder goes with the car. Recent oil change and tech inspection. Everything on this car works. Every single light, cruise control, dash funtions, etc. No surprises.  My maintenance motto is deal with honest people and do expensive preventive rather than life altering repairs.

Wheels and Tires:
I recently returned the wheels to original 16's as I had a buyer who wanted original so I removed the aftermarkets. However, at the point of delivery his unhappy wife entered and nixed the deal. (He had it coming, but I lost the sale.) Rear tires have less than a documented 400 miles on them. Front tires less than 2000. I had to put fresh rubber on in order to do the wheel swap.  The wheels can be restored for about $400 or you can upgrade to 17"s or 18"s.

Music:
Sony 10 CD changer and AM/FM. 

Photos: 
I've displayed the maximum amount of photos the listing will allow. Please note the photos showing the underside of the engine and trunk lids, the fuel filler compartment, engine compartment and the trunk ledge and rubber. These photos are meant to display how immaculate this car is throughout. The entire car is like that. Note driver side seat bolster.  Pointing fingers are the only two paint flaws on the entire car. There is no road rash anywhere on this vehicle. No lower or front bumper and no hood rash whatsoever. Only the items I've pointed at.

Summary and Bold Statement:
This car has no issues and is PCA Manhattan trophy capable with preparation.
 
All questions welcomed.

Please do not bid of you have fewer than 10 completed eBay transactions or less than a 95% rating.

Meet the main man behind the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

We have yet to catch our breath from our first drive of the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3, but if you're still not sold on the fact that this track-ready 911 is only offered with a PDK transmission, then you should take it up with Andreas Preuninger. Preuninger is the guy who led the team responsible for the latest GT3. Porsche has released a video giving a little backstory of what went into the development of the car, which had as its goal the creation of a pure, rewarding 911 driving experience.
The video captures the sights and sounds of the GT3 perfectly. Perhaps the best part is listening to Preuninger describe one of the defining moments that resulted in replacing the GT3's manual gearbox with the PDK. We don't want to ruin the video for you, so scroll down to check it out for yourself.

2015 Gordon McCall's Motorworks Revival

Thu, Aug 13 2015

Considered the big kick off of the major festivities surrounding Monterey Car Week, this year's Gordon McCall's Motorworks Revival certainly didn't disappoint. For those unable to make it to the California coast, our own Drew Phillips was on hand to snap some of the beautiful vehicles on display for this gorgeous gallery. Held annually at the Monterey Jet Center, the event is always a feast for the eyes by collecting planes, a gang of exotic supercars, and some the top cars crossing the auction block over the coming days, like a Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda convertible. The Ford GT both new and old was a major attendee at this year's party. Among them, the Petersen Museum brought along an original racecar and a GT40 MKIII to promote an upcoming exhibit. The classics were complimented by the latest version that has continued to keep tongues wagging. The GT wasn't the only classic with a modern update there. Singer used the posh event for the North American debut of its stunning restoration of the Porsche 911 Targa. Shelby American was also at the revival for the public unveiling of the 50th Anniversary Daytona Coupe. On the more modern front, Honda was in attendance with the future NSX and one of the McLaren F1 cars that the company's engine powers. For further proof of the ritzy folks that attend this soiree, Pagani and Koenigsegg both had stands to show off their extremely quick wares.
