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 911 Aerodynamic prototype cheated the wind ahead of its time
Wed, 04 Jun 2014You might think that sports cars would have the lowest drag coefficient of all cars. And yes, they do tend to be more slippery than, say, SUVs or convertibles, but the sleekest vehicles on the road tend to be EVs, hybrids and luxury sedans. Sports cars, on the other hand, have aerodynamically detrimental needs for downforce and additional engine cooling. Still, the Porsche 911 is better than most, and has only gotten more so over the years. Its relatively narrow track and compact form mean it has a smaller frontal area than some other sports cars, and the gradual sweeping back of its headlights and windshield have only augmented its capacity for cheating the wind.
This 911 prototype, however, is even more aerodynamic than most. It's based on a "G model" 911 from 1984, but employed such features as covered wheels, a new rear spoiler and a reprofiled front end to drop its drag coefficient from 0.40 to 0.27, making it as slippery as a modern sedan and better at cheating the wind than just about anything built up to that point, save for maybe the Tatra 77, Citroën SM or Tucker Torpedo.
Elements of this prototype ended up gradually making it into production Porsches for years to come, and you can clearly see early influences on the second-generation 964 and even on the 959. It's featured here as the latest installment in a video series on rare historic Porsches unearthed from the company archives, following previous clips that featured a rare V8-powered 911 and a mid-engined 911 prototype. Scope out the latest episode in the video below.
Driving the million-mile Porsche 356
Fri, 30 Aug 2013Maybe you've seen or heard about the Porsche 356 with almost one-million miles (though it doesn't look like it), but Petrolicious finally has produced a video to show us what it's like to drive the 982,000-mile car. Guy Newmark's beautiful, dark-blue 1964 356C looks great in motion - much better than in photos - and serves to remind us not only what meticulous car care can do for old classics, but that old Porsches were built to last.
So how fastidious is Newmark about maintaining it? He takes the car to his mechanic of 40 years every 3,000 miles for an oil change and to fix anything that needs attention.
Newmark says his 356 "is everything you could want," and that he finds errands to do just to go drive it. We would, too. The next-best thing is to watch the inspiring video below of the well-traveled Porsche.
