1992 Porsche 968 Cabriolet. Black, Black, Black. 57k mi. With option 220, LSD. Incredible and rare car.

Background:

I am a collector of 968's. I've had 14 over the years. This was my first and the one that got me hooked. This is also the best one I've ever seen in person tho' I've certainly seen some nice ones on the internet. I've owned 33 Porsches and 14 968's. This is my second favorite car of all time. (57 black Speedster) from among Speedsters, 356 SC's, 914-6 s, 911SC's, Turbos, 951's, 75 Carreras. I've owned it for 8 years and must sell it for several reasons.

This is a PCA car.

Reason for sale:

I am retired and fixed income. I have two others and I am simply paranoid about driving this one because it is so perfect. One or two of the three have to go and I would rather someone else enjoy a car that is so perfect that I constantly worry about it.

Exterior Cosmetics:

All 100% original factory paint, no body repairs, no rash, no scrapes, scratches, dents, dings, fades or flaws anywhere (Exception: for see photos where I point at 3 tiny items.) The paint gets comments every place this car goes. Seriously, the paint on this car is shockingly perfect. I've been called out on my description because the photos of the wheels clearly show flaws (curb rash) so let me deal with that separately. I stand by my statement about the car with the exception of the wheels. These are not original to the car. They were hurredly purchased to return the car to stock for a deal that fell through. The 17" BBS with Nitto Invo's I had on the car were replaced. So, here is the deal for a "buy it now" deal I will allow the buyer to select the wheel/tire arrangement illustrated or substitute the BBS/Nitto combo. Bear in mind the tires on the car are virtually new, the Nittos are not. Your choice.

Convertible top:

Black top and rear window original but excellent. Top mechanism works perfectly, locks in place perfectly and is leak free.

Interior Cosmetics:

Black leather sport seat interior is perfect and has never had Armorall or any other protectant or restorer used ever. Interior has only been cleaned with natural hide foods and leather conditioners. There is not even a hint of a dash crack. The car has always been kept covered in the sun. I had a quick on, quick off cover for the interior and a windshield screen that I always used to prevent sun damage. See photo for bolster condition. :)

Mechanical and Accessories:

None of the usual 968 bugs. Timing belt and water pump fine. Brakes and 6 speed transmission fine. Mobile1 conversion 5 years ago. Service records binder goes with the car. Recent oil change and tech inspection. Everything on this car works. Every single light, cruise control, dash funtions, etc. No surprises. My maintenance motto is deal with honest people and do expensive preventive rather than life altering repairs.

Wheels and Tires:

I recently restored the wheels to original 16's as I had a buyer who wanted returned to original so I removed the 17" BBS with Nitto Invo. However, at the point of delivery his unhappy wife entered and nixed the deal. (He had it coming, but I lost the sale.) Rear tires have less than a documented 400 miles on them. Front tires less than 2000. I had to put fresh rubber on in order to do the wheel swap.

Music:

Sony 10 CD changer and AM/FM.

Photos:

I've displayed the maximum amount of photos the listing will allow. Please note the photos showing the underside of the engine and trunk lids, the fuel filler compartment, engine compartment and the trunk ledge and rubber. These photos are meant to display how immaculate this car is throughout. The entire car is like that. Note driver side seat bolster. Pointing fingers are the only two paint flaws on the entire car. There is no road rash anywhere on this vehicle. No lower or front bumper and no hood rash whatsoever. Only the items I've pointed at.

Summary and Bold Statement:

This car has no issues and is PCA Manhattan trophy capable with preparation.

All questions welcomed.

Please do not bid of you have fewer than 10 completed eBay transactions or less than a 95% rating.

Porsche responds to PETA after tiger cub displays at Macan dealership events

Tue, 13 May 2014

Porsche has found itself in the good graces of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which is pretty odd considering it's the only brand we know of that offers leather-lined vents. The activist group is praising the sports car manufacturer's handling of reports that some of its dealerships were set to feature tigers or tiger cubs at the local launch events for the Macan. Apparently, "macan" is the Malay word for tiger, which explains the connection between a highly touted crossover and a jungle cat.
A Tampa, FL dealership already displayed some three-week-old cubs, with PETA saying tigers for display should be at least eight to 12 weeks old. Even then, the group argues that the animals can suffer due to stress, malnourishment, neglect and a lack of veterinary care. The group brings up legal concerns, as well, arguing that if one of the cubs bit a customer, the dealership could be held liable (we're no big cat experts, but it seems unlikely a three-week-old cub could do that much damage).
Porsche's PR department quickly reacted to PETA's claims, with Vice President of Marketing Andre Oosthuizen, telling the group that Porsche is concerned about the "welfare of any animal, large or small, wild or domesticated." Oosthuizen's statements were reported in an official PETA blog.

Mark Webber treats Maria Sharapova to a Porsche 918 Spyder joyride

Tue, 29 Apr 2014

We don't much like Mark Webber right now. Part of being a racing driver is dealing with promotional stuff. It's not hard to find a driver that can't stand all this nonsense, whether it be promoting a product, meeting investors or attending some obscure event. Even a driver of Webber's caliber - a former Formula One driver for Red Bull Racing and a member of Porsche's factory Le Mans team - has to serve his time at the promo events.
Somehow, though, we don't think the Aussie driver minds this particular promo detail. In the video below, Webber attends the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart. He then takes tennis superstar Maria Sharapova out for a spin behind the wheel of the Porsche 918 Spyder. The level of jealousy at the Autoblog office is palpable.
Take a look below for the video. And as we're super jealous of Mr. Webber, hop into Comments and caption the above photo based on what you think he's saying to Maria. Bonus points if you can work "vegemite" into the caption.

Porsche 911 RSR in bizarre, terrifying rally crash

Sun, 22 Sep 2013

As far as rally crashes go, this one is pretty terrifying. At this month's Hellendoorn Rally, Harry Kleinjan failed to negotiate a turn and drove his Porsche 911 RSR straight into a Jersey barrier, flipping the car into the river.
While it's unclear what caused the accident, German Car Scene notes, "We can see his brakes locking up ahead of the impact, which also ripped both driver's side wheels off, so it may be a case of ill-judged late braking, locking brakes or a jammed throttle." Us? We're betting it might have been bad pace notes. Fortunately for Harry and his co-driver, all indications are that no one was hurt. Check out the videos below to see the spectacular crash for yourself.
