All 968 cabs are special, but this one is particularly rare, with rare factory options and special and tasteful
upgrades and modifications.
It is a 1992 the first model year ever made, (production date 12/1991), with exceptionally low miles for a 24 year
old car.
It is one of only seven 968s cabs ever produced to have Full Factory Leather option in Cashmere tan (out of a total
production of over 2000 cabs brought to North America).
The door panels, the door handles, the seat backs, the center tunnel, lower dash, armrest, etc. are all in gorgeous
Cashmere Tan leather. You may not see another one outfitted like this for sale. This was a $4000+ option from the
Porsche Factory back in 1992.

I am not a car dealer. I'm just a 968 enthusiast. This car was bought by me in April of 2014 at a local dealer. I
have METICULOUSLY gone through the entire car over the last 2 years to bring it to perfect running order, and more,
installed many appropriate upgrades and modifications. I have receipts for EVERYTHING done to the car, spent over
$18,000 in the past 2 years.
And you are, of course, welcome to go through at the receipts (and the car) to verify this.
If you come test drive this car, you with feel like you are driving a modern car, not a vintage one.

Chevy Corvette Stingray defeating rivals where it matters most
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Everything is coming up roses for the award-winning Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, as new data from the North American Dealers Association dissected by GM Authority reveals that America's sports car is handily outselling two of its more expensive rivals.
Through June of 2014, the NADA notes that the Corvette has rung up 17,744 sales, handily besting the Porsche 911 and positively spanking the SRT Viper. Of course, you're sitting there thinking, "Corvette is outselling the much more expensive Porsche and Viper. Sky blue, water wet." But what's impressive here is just how thoroughly the Chevrolet is beating its two rivals, with this data serving as a testament to just how popular the seventh-generation sports car has become.
So far this year, Porsche has managed to move 5,169 911s, according to NADA. Considering that the base model starts at nearly $15,000 more than the most heavily optioned Stingray, and that Porsche owners have a vast, expensive options catalogue to select from, Stuttgart's sales are still plenty impressive in relation to the nearly 18,000 Corvettes sold.
2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S
Wed, 04 Sep 2013A Wicked-Fast Street Legal Multi-Tool
Walter Röhrl was carving up the circuit in the Porsche 911 Turbo S like a skilled Jedi Master - and I was sitting next to him, mesmerized by the breathtaking show. I had strapped myself securely into the front passenger bucket of the all-new coupe less than a minute earlier, expecting nothing more than a few quick laps around a track at the hands of another celebrated race driver. Been there, done that. Many times, actually.
Yet this was different. Röhrl was not only calculated and methodical in his approach, but his rally-tuned cerebrum appeared to be actively reading available grip levels while effortlessly tossing the all-wheel-drive Porsche into each corner at gut-wrenching speeds. His hands were moving rapidly, sending tiny steering corrections to the front tires, and he was using every inch of the track to extract more speed. We launched over a curb, dropped a wheel in the dirt and then drifted around a wide off-camber turn. His human precision and focus was astounding, and the performance he was extracting from the machine was just short of breathtaking.
