1994 Porsche 968 Cabriolet Polar Silver, Medium Gray Leather Interior, Black Convertible Top, 40,500 miles, see Options Sticker Photo - Absolutely no work required on this car This car is in immaculate condition (as evidenced by the photos) and is near concours condition (if not already). I have owned it for the past 15 years (I’m the second owner) and have put less than 6,000 miles on it. It has been garaged and stored in winters and has not even been driven in the rain since I bought it. No one has driven it but me as I had planned on keeping it forever but as most Porsche owners experience, space has run out as I have 3 Porsches now. This was my first 968 after owning four 944s (which were my daily drivers). I’ve been a PCA member for over 25 years and truly appreciate these cars. This one is an outstanding color combination and has been meticulously maintained. It is completely original except for: · B&B Cat Back Exhaust – Stainless Steel – cost over $1600.00 · Gemballa 3 Piece Wheels with Yokohama Performance Tires with less than 3000 miles (see photos) – cost over $6000.00 · Professionally installed sound system (ABT Electronics) – Kenwood Head unit, Xtant Amplifier, MB Quart 2-Way, 4 Piece speakers with crossovers, low pass filters, high-end wires – cost over $4000.00 I still have the original Cup Wheels with Yokohama tires, original head unit and the original cat back exhaust and muffler all in great shape. Mechanicals: · Complete tuning with all new fluids: engine, transmission, antifreeze, etc. less than 2000 miles ago · Distributor cap, wires and thermostat have less than 5000 miles · New timing chain (preventative due to age) at 38,000 miles · Brakes have less than 7000 miles on them and bearings were repacked at the same time · Only Mobil 1 synthetic oil utilized since my acquisition · Engine and mechanicals (other than exhaust) are 100% original. There have been no breakdowns or repairs made to this engine or drive train other than preventative. The car runs phenomenal, it sounds amazing with the B&B, the transmission is outstanding and overall this car is an 11 out of 10. Exterior: The entire vehicle is original with no body work, no paint, no fading and there are no dings anywhere. There are 2 small stone chips on the hood that can easily be repaired. The wheels flawless as they are brand new and tires still have the nubs as they have less than 3000 miles on them. The black convertible top is still like new with no fading, no tears and no leaks. Like most all cabs, the back vinyl window, while not faded, has surface scratches that can be buffed out. The electric convertible top mechanism works perfect. Interior: The medium grey leather sport seat interior is outstanding with no scuffs, tears, abrasions and limited to no creases. The dashboard is perfect with no cracks. I had custom seat covers made for the car (see photos) which have been on the car at all times to protect the leather seats. The covers are a waterproof wetsuit material and will come with the car. All of the lights, gauges and electronics are in perfect working order. As noted above, I had a professionally installed, high-end sound system put into the car (which I will sorely miss). See photos. Other: Please
email me with any questions. As a long time PCA member and
long time EBay member with 100% rating, I value honesty and integrity. The car is
listed elsewhere across the US
and so I reserve the right to terminate the auction at any time. Test drives only for serious bidders.
Although it goes without saying, so there's no confusion, this vehicle
is being sold "as-is". Verbal agreements
on price / purchase must be followed up via payment on a priority basis or
other buyers may take precedence. I have many additional photos if desired. The vehicle is located in a northwest suburb of Chicago 10 minutes from O'Hare airport. I will provide transportation to/from O'Hare for visits but the buyer will need to arrange for pickup/shipping of the vehicle at his/her own expense. A $500 deposit via PayPal is due within 48 hours of the end of the auction with no exceptions and I will reject the winning bid if that deposit is not made on time. Balance of purchase price is due with seven (7) days of the end of the auction. Thank you very much for looking!!!
On Oct-16-13 at 12:01:13 PDT, seller added the following information: I'm so confident that this vehicle is better than its description that if for any reason the winning bidder is not completely satisfied with this vehicle upon inspection, I will promptly refund his/her deposit without question. |

Porsche working on turbo V12 for Putin limo project?
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Porsche is best known for building very well-regarded sports cars and better-selling utility vehicles. Come to the company with a big enough bag of cash, though, and the Porsche Engineering division can create just about anything. The group's past projects include working with Harley-Davidson, Mercedes-Benz and corporate cousin Audi, but if rumors prove true, then its latest partner might be the last one you'd expect.
Russian website Wroom reports that Porsche Engineering is building the engine for the Project Cortege government limousine project for Russian president Vladimir Putin. The mill is supposedly a turbocharged V12 displacing between 6.0- and 6.6-liters and making around 800 horsepower. When complete, it will reportedly be built by ZMZ with Russian-sourced parts.
The limo is expected to debut in 2017, according to Wroom, but it's just the beginning of Putin's grandiose plans, which also goes by the name of the Motorcade Project. The same platform is also meant to underpin several vehicles for use by the government, including an SUV, a small bus and a sedan. All of them would reportedly have a longitudinally mounted engine and all-wheel drive.
Porsche announces plan to replace 911 GT3 engines
Wed, 19 Mar 2014About a month back, we reported that Porsche was suspending delivery of its 911 GT3 due to reported incidents of the engine bursting into flames. A few days later, Porsche told owners of the new track-ready models not to drive their cars and had their local dealers pick up the cars in question. Just a couple of days ago, we reported that Porsche was working on a fix, and now we have the official details.
Following an internal investigation prompted by two such incidents, Porsche has confirmed that is has identified the problem as resulting "from a loosened screw joint on the connecting rod." The loose connecting rod, Porsche found, damaged the crankcase, which in turn resulted in oil leaking and then - in at least two cases - igniting.
Our source is unaware of Porsche being contacted by GT3 owners concerned about the impact of a replacement engine on their car's collectibility or resale value.
Porsche patent sketches show removable headrest wind deflector
Mon, 21 Oct 2013While driving around in a convertible might seem glamorous, ask anyone with long hair and they'll likely tell you how it really is: the wind buffets, your hair goes everywhere and it's anything but glamorous. That's why you see so many convertibles driving with their tops up, their windows up or wind deflectors in place. But Porsche is apparently preparing to kick it up to the next level.
These patent drawings have leaked out, demonstrating what appears to be some new kind of wind-deflecting device being developed by Porsche. The mechanism is apparently fitted to the headrest itself and designed to keep the wind buffeting specifically around the head down to a minimum while allowing the car's occupants to enjoy the top-down driving experience.
No word on when it might hit the market, but we won't be surprised to see this kind of device appear on a future version of the Boxster or 911 Cabriolet. But nowhere else: despite the apparent leak, the patent drawings suggest that Porsche will be keeping this technology proprietary. Whether sister brands like Volkswagen, Bentley or Lamborghini will get their hands on it remains to be seen.
