I bought this 1993 968 Cabriolet about 12 months ago. It had previously been owned by a women who lives in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. It had been sitting in a lot in Ft. Lauderdale for more than a year. It's was professionally detailed and cleaned up nicely. The car has only 78,500 miles on it. It is a rare green color with a black interior. It has the 3.0L engine with a 4 speed tiptronic transmission.

This Porsche is in very good mechanical shape. I recently had major engine service done to it including the timing belt, water pump, tension rollers, etc. Like many 968's that are more than 20 years old with automatic transmissions, we recently replaced the flex plate auto dampner. This is a rubber part that bolts to the flywheel. Anyone who's a 968 fan knows the expense involved in doing the engine work and transmission repair. Big bucks and big headaches you won't have to deal with. The car runs and drives great! It's fast! Service records are available since I've had the car. The service was done by a great Porsche mechanic in Miami, who only works on 928's, 944's and 968's. The oil has recently been changed. I changed out the front tires with new17 inch Kumho ECSTA tires due to dry rot. The rears are also 17 inch Kumho ECSTA tires. They are in good shape. The car is not perfect and still needs some minor work done. I'm selling the car as is.

The interior is in good shape, however with most cars more than 20 years old the seats will need to be replaced. We recently put on a new convertible top in addition to doing some work with the frame. There is some rubber molding that is missing where the doors and window meet the top. The original Porsche radio needed replacing so we put in a nice Alpine radio with blue tooth.

Cosmetically the car needs some work. The left door handle recently broke. We're working on getting a replacement. The doors and fenders are in relatively good shape. There is some damage to the lower left side right behind the left side door (see pictures). The hood needs a little bit of body work. Both head lights work and go up and down (one front picture of the car were taken before the car went into the shop for service). And the hood and trunk are showing areas of oxidation. It's probably best that the entire car needs painting.

This car is very rare. For those of you not familiar with the Porsche 968 it was an automobile sold by Porsche AG of Germany from 1991 to 1995, and marketed as the replacement for the Porsche 944. When production ceased in the 1995 model year, it represented the end of the line started almost 20 years earlier with the introduction of the Porsche 924.

There were only a limited amount of Porsce 968's built and shipped to the states. Approximately 2000 coupes and 2000 cabriolets were imported to the United States between 1991 and 995. This color combination is very rare. Combined with the tiptronic transmission...maybe 10 in total were manufactured.

If you have any questions or want to see the car I can be reached at 561 414-8477. Only serious buyers please!

Porsche working on turbo V12 for Putin limo project?

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Porsche is best known for building very well-regarded sports cars and better-selling utility vehicles. Come to the company with a big enough bag of cash, though, and the Porsche Engineering division can create just about anything. The group's past projects include working with Harley-Davidson, Mercedes-Benz and corporate cousin Audi, but if rumors prove true, then its latest partner might be the last one you'd expect.
Russian website Wroom reports that Porsche Engineering is building the engine for the Project Cortege government limousine project for Russian president Vladimir Putin. The mill is supposedly a turbocharged V12 displacing between 6.0- and 6.6-liters and making around 800 horsepower. When complete, it will reportedly be built by ZMZ with Russian-sourced parts.
The limo is expected to debut in 2017, according to Wroom, but it's just the beginning of Putin's grandiose plans, which also goes by the name of the Motorcade Project. The same platform is also meant to underpin several vehicles for use by the government, including an SUV, a small bus and a sedan. All of them would reportedly have a longitudinally mounted engine and all-wheel drive.

2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced

Wed, Jul 6 2016

Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne Â– the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists Â– three in each category Â– on December 6.
