1993 Porsche 968 Base Convertible 2-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Delray Beach, Florida, United States
RARE Colored 1993 Porsche 968 Cabriolet WP0CA2964PS840178 This is a rare Porsche 968. I want to pass my Porsche 968 along with my passion onto the next enthusiast. These cars are meant to be driven and for others to enjoy! It’s fast and fun! I’ve been slowly and steadily restoring it. Read on and see what has been done to this 20 plus year old car. It not perfect yet, but it’s a great start. The car is being sold as is. 81,000 miles…metallic green color with a black interior. 3.0L VarioCam engine with a 4-speed Tiptronic transmission. The 968's engine was the second-largest 4-cylinder ever offered in a production car up to that time. Previously owned by a family in Ft. Lauderdale, this Porsche 968 was part of the settlement. It had been in storage for a couple years when I purchased it. I had it professionally detailed. This is currently my daily driver. It not perfect yet, but it’s a great start. It’s being sold at a very reasonable price. If I had it painted it would be up there with the other Porsche convertibles in price. ENGINE AND DRIVE LINE… The car has had major engine service preformed including the timing belt, water pump, and front engine oil seals along with new belt rollers, ($1500.00). Transmission service including the flex plate was performed (auto damper $ 1800.00). AC conversion to new style 134 blows nice and cold. Heater works, as it should as well. This car runs and drives great as a Porsche should…smooth, fast and nimble. The oil and other fluids have recently been changed. I removed the old tires off the front and change them with new 17 inch Kumho ECSTA tires. An aftermarket convertible top was installed in addition to doing some work with the frame. The top opens and closed manually. I recently purchase the locking handles, which are included with the car, INTERIOR… The interior is in pretty good shape, however with most cars more than 20 years old the seats will need to be recovered due to regular wear and tear. The original radio was replaced with an upgraded Alpine unit
with blue tooth. The car has beautiful black rugs and perfect door panels. The rear seats with storage options were added. BODY… The over all body is in excellent shape and pretty much ready for paint. There is a small dent on the lower left side right behind the left side door. The hood has a small dent on the upper left hand corner. A little bit of bodywork will remedy that. And the hood and trunk are showing clear coat peeling. I was planning to repaint the entire car. All lights are fully functional and working. Fun facts… 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 Porsche 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 918 Spyder gets tiny recall for rear control arms
Tue, 09 Sep 2014As the recent US recall of a single Koenigsegg Agera shows, even low-production supercars aren't immune from safety campaigns. Now, there's another example that even the fastest cars can have their faults. The Porsche 918 Spyder is a pretty fantastic vehicle for its ability to mix hybrid fuel economy and incredible amounts of power, but Porsche has a problem on a few units of its halo model.
According to the recall document from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Porsche needs to inspect and possibly repair five 918s in the US because the rear axle control arms may break, which could cause a loss of control while driving. In the full defect notice, Porsche says that it first noticed the problem on June 26 when the parts failed during "heavy duty durability testing (extreme race conditions)" at the Nardo test track in Italy. It transported the components back to the company's lab for inspection, and on July 18 it issued a stop-sale to inspect the suspension parts on the supercar. The automaker also contacted owners by phone to warn them not to use the car on track, until repaired.
The affected 918s will be inspected, and if the cars have the bad parts, the control arms are will be replaced. Obviously, this will be done at no cost to owners. According to a Porsche spokesperson speaking to Autoblog, in addition to the five US cars potentially affected, there were 45 worldwide. All of the cars have now been checked.

Porsche 911 GT2 caught testing, is super bad
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Look what spy photographers have spotted sprinting around the Nürburgring. Our shooters nabbed a few photos of the all-new Porsche 911 GT2 in its native habitat without any of the bulky camouflage or cladding we're used to seeing. The result is our first truly clear view at the upcoming successor to the GT2 throne. From the looks of it, the new model will boast wider fender arches front and rear, and hefty air intakes set into the machine's hips should help feed a beastly 3.8-liter flat six-cylinder engine. Early guesses put the engine output somewhere around 560 horsepower.
Mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, the engine should propel this rear-engined heathen to 62 miles per hour in under three seconds. Top speed? Try somewhere around 200 mph. If that's true, the next-generation 911 GT2 will be the fastest 911 in Porsche history.
See what the Chevy C7 ZR1 may be benchmarked against
Tue, 07 May 2013One of the greatest things every Corvette has had going for it, and also one of the most re-used arguments against it, is its price-to-performance equation - long before the Nissan GT-R became the de facto Porsche 911 comparator the Corvette spent decades as Exhibit A. Depending on which side of the argument you stressed, supporters crowed about how much performance you got for how (comparatively) little, detractors carped on how little you got everywhere else in the bargain.
It appears Chevrolet is working as hard as ever to render the argument meaningless. Spy shooters at KGP captured a convocation of European birds of prey leaving the General Motors test center, and aimed at benchmarking the C7 Corvette ZR1. The road train comprised of two C7 Corvette Stingrays, a 2013 Corvette ZR1, McLaren MP4-12C, Ferrari 458 Italia, Audi R8 V10 Spyder and Porsche 911 Carrera S and it was last seen heading down the same kinked-up back roads used to hone the Corvette Stingray.
The C7-series ZR1 and its possible 700 horsepower are still a ways off. If it really is being positioned to compete with the celestial exotica in the testing group, could it be the first Corvette to regularly be the first answer to the question "Cost no object, which would would you rather have?"
