1992 Porsche 968 Base Convertible 2-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Tuckerton, New Jersey, United States
|
I purchased this car as a potential project, but realized I do not have the time needed to bring this Porsche back to prime condition. I purchased this car from the previous owner, who had the vehicle since 1995. It has 27k miles on it when he purchased it. The car now has 74k miles. When I purchased the car, it had been sitting for at least 3 years. The car shows no signs of abuse, it simply needs work due to neglect. The exterior shows no major defects, short of needing paint. There is no rust to be found on the body. There are a few dings here and there, but nothing major whatsoever. There is a crack in the windshield, which will need replacement. The previous owner stated that the top has been replaced once, but it now shows two small tears that need attention. The interior will need cleaning and refurbishing. The seats will need to be recovered as well as the center console lid. Some random fasteners are missing, not many.
When I purchased the car, I had it flat-bedded home as I did not want to attempt to start a vehicle that had been sitting for that long without changing fluids and inspecting parts. I drained and replaced the oil, filter, and coolant, and drained the fuel tank. I removed the spark plugs which looked clean, and put a small amount of marvel mystery oil in each cylinder to help ensure the piston rings were not seized, and manually cranked the engine without the plugs in to coat the cylinder liners. I then put in a new battery, new plugs, new premium fuel, and cranked the engine but it wouldn't start. I then diagnosed that the fuel pump was not working, and replaced it with an OEM Bosch pump. After more cranking the engine did fire, and ran rough for a few minutes but cleared up and ran beautifully. Since then, I have tried to start it every other day. It always seems to run rough at first, but then clears right up. I have driven it up and down the street a few times without issue. The 6-speed standard transmission shifts fine and the clutch engages well. The brakes seem fine, with good pedal feel and no strange noises. The lights work fine, but not all of the gauges work. From what research I have done, there were not many 968 Cabrios imported to the US, so it should have a good upside value over time. I have a clear title in my possession. I am NOT accepting offers below my asking price, and I am NOT interested in trades. This is a NO RESERVE auction, you bid, you buy! Please do not bid unless you intend to buy!!! Please CALL (DO NOT TEXT!) with any questions about this car. 609-709-7237, my name is Ed. |

Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer
Mon, 07 Oct 2013An Iconic Sports Car, Restored to Seduce
I have been strapped behind the iconic Momo Prototipo steering wheel for a little more than an hour, all windows down as I carve my way up a rugged canyon during an unusually warm Southern California evening, and I am overwhelmed with emotion. My heart is pounding out of my chest, my breathing is heavy and my palms are sweaty because I am completely absorbed by this wondrous machine.
After waiting patiently for nearly four years, I am finally behind the wheel of a classic Porsche 911 restored, modified and tuned by Singer Vehicle Design. The vehicle that surrounds me never rolled off an automaker's assembly line in its current configuration, yet its physical appearance is timeless, build quality breathtaking and driving dynamics peerless.
Evo sets up duel of Porsche 911s
Thu, 20 Mar 2014What's better, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive? That question has occupied auto enthusiasts for years, and so far, we've not really had a solid answer one way or the other. Evo has opted to take another whack at this tough question by pairing a pair of Porsche 911s against each other for a track battle.
In one corner, we have the two-wheel-drive 911 Carrera S, complete with the lickity-split PDK transmission, a sports suspension and carbon-ceramic brakes. In the other corner, it's the all-wheel-drive 911 Carrera 4S in a much mellower spec, with a seven-speed manual, as well as standard brakes and suspension. While the results seem like they'd be a foregone conclusion, some very British weather is there to act as the great equalizer.
We've got the full video down below. Have a look, and let us know if you agree with Evo's results.
Porsche drivers escape this horrific VIR crash unscathed
Mon, 07 Oct 2013There is no doubting the fact that it takes nerves of steel to be a racecar driver, but the same can also be said for motorsports photographers. Case in point: The American Le Mans Series Oak Tree Grand Prix at the Virginia International Raceway where two Porsche 911 racecars crash hard into the tire barrier, but the dedicated cameraman stays with the shot - diving away only at the last second just as the battered No. 31 car (shown above) comes to rest atop the tire barriers just feet from where he was standing.
The crash occurred when the two Porsches charged hard into a corner. Judging by the video, the white No. 48 car appears to not see the orange No. 31 and the two cars make contact, skidding off track hitting the tire barriers at a high rate of speed. Both drivers walked away from the frightening crash, but the video - posted below - shows just how bad things could have been. Hopefully the close call will serve as a lesson for the woman standing in the track marshal's post who has her back to the racing as the two cars barrel directly toward her.
