This 1994 Porsche 968 Cabriolet is an incredible vehicle that boasts great performance and is exceptionally clean. It pains me to sell this car, but having three Porsche's is just too much with a new baby. The car has never been in any, even minor, accident, as to my knowledge. I purchased this car in 2007 with around 93k miles and have serviced the car as if I was going to keep it forever (that was the plan anyway). I have recently had a new clutch (disc, plate, and throwout bearing) put in at 118k miles, replaced all belts (including the timing belt) at 111k miles, put new tires on, new radiator, new a/c compressor, professionally installed Harmon/Kardon Traffic Pro navigation with an Alpine 5-channel amp with 6.5" Boston acoustic Pro 60 Se component speakers, rear M030 sway bar, 18" Porsche Turbo Twist wheels with Michelin Pilot Super Sport 225/40/18s on the front and 255/35/18s on the rear. When I purchased the car it was triple black and I swapped out the front seats for the updated tan heated seats you see in the photos (I do not have the originals) which have some moderate wear. I also updated the wheels to the turbo twists from the 17" chrome that came on the car (I do not have these either). The cabrio top operates electronically and has an option to switch to manual if you prefer. The top is in decent shape, but the rear window is cracked (see photo). The paint is in great shape with a few rock chips, but minimal for a car with 120k miles. There is a small hot spot (where the clear coat has thinned) on the right front fender that can be seen if you look closely, but this is (in my opinion) a small infraction to the cars great paint overall. I have been a Porsche Club member for over 17 years and have cared for this car well. Inspections are welcome. Buyer is responsible for all shipping and delivery arrangements and costs.

Porsche releases new images of LMP1 racecar
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Porsche has released another batch of images of its LMP1 competitor preparing for its debut season in 2014. This isn't the first we've seen of the new car, as June saw four images of the new racer undergoing testing. Where those images looked merely like someone taking pics during the test, the 11 new images seen above have all the hallmarks of highly polished PR shots.
That aside, the camo-covered cars still provide another look at what the new LMP1 car will look like when it arrives next season. The taillights follow the example set by Audi, by vertically mounting ultra-thin LEDs on the tips of the rear wing, while the LED headlights sport the four-prong look that Porsche has been pushing of late. Besides those two items, its difficult to make out many details due to the amount of camo.
Porsche's LMP1 effort will be focused on the FIA World Endurance Championship, which will see the revered brand return to the top flights of the 24 Hours Of Le Mans with F1 ace Mark Webber behind the wheel. As we've mentioned before, the German brand has set up a dedicated microsite that will cover its newest racer's progress.
Porsche revisits the 911's dirty side with rally history film
Fri, 03 Jan 2014It might not be a coincidence that there are rumors of Porsche revealing a safari version of the 911 at April's Beijing Motor Show, just as the Dakar Rally is about to begin. Adding fuel to the dusty desert fire is a just-released official video of Jeff Zwart driving the Porsche 953 that Jacky Ickx drove to victory in the 1984 edition of the race.
In the video, the seven-time Pikes Peak International Hill Climb winner talks about how he grew up with the 911; it wasn't only the car he learned to drive in, it was his choice of racecar no matter whether the course was tarmac or the dirty stuff.
You can decide for yourself if these recent events are mere coincidence while you enjoy the 953's exhaust note in the video below. If you've got the time to see the 953 during its race-conquering drive and find out what the ersatz Paris-Dakar Rally used to be, we've also included a broadcast of that 1984 race below as well. Fast-forward to 19:44 to see the Porsches cross the open dessert and 29:09 to watch one of them tackle the dunes.
Preserving automotive history costs big bucks
Wed, 29 Jan 2014
$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.
