1994 Porsche 968 coupe I bought from original owner who bought it at a dealership in mobile Alabama on 6/30/93 and
has been in Mississippi since day one.
Grand Prix white with cashmere interior
All original has Porsche radio and cd changer that work great . Has complete Porsche tool kit, red spare, and air
pump. 2 sets of keys, manuals .
Cold AC
Runs great , smooth, shifts well, stops great
New tires, Less than 50 miles of a set of Michelin pilot sport as/3 s
Just changed oil with Valvoline VR1 20w50, and a maule air filter and oil filter. And used lubro moly jectron in
the tank.
Like I previously stated I bought this car from the original owner , he had just periodically driven over the
years. I drove it back to my home about 50 miles away and it ran flawlessly. Upon getting it home I changed the
oil, filters and put a new set of michelins pilot sports on it ( the old tires were date coded 2004 and looked
brand new even had the nipples intact)and had it detailed out. The reason I'm selling is a S65 AMG is now available
that I've been trying to get my hands on, and need garage space. If the 968 doesn't sell no big deal I'll keep and
let the value continue to climb. I've taking a lot of pics and pics of the very few issues with the car, I m not
going to hide anything. I'll list a few things the car either needs or what I would do if I keep it.
Future needs:
Sunroof goes up with the switch but when you re attach you have to manually tighten it back down. I looked it up
and it's a common problem and I think the tensioners need adjusting.
The timing belt ( have paperwork) was done 5/7/07 at the dealer at 45k miles, An fit has been driven very little
since that time.
The cup rims do have curb rash , I would get a wheel refinisher to repaint and smooth out the rim lip.
The driver seat minus the bolster is in good shape , does have a hint of patina. Still looks and sits well just
maybe something to consider having the bolster area repaired.
The last issue is the odometer quit ( speedometer works fine) on me, I've read this is a common problem with these
plastic gears loosing teeth and I've looked them up and they are about $25 bucks and a few hours worth of work.
The PO had the clutch replaced, battery , brake master. Cylinder and booster all done in 2013 from an independent
mechanic in the area he moved to, just wanted to note.
Also I'd like to add that I think I have the car priced well in order take care of theses issues.
The car cranks, runs, shifts extremely well and the body is straight with no big dents or scratches. Still presents
very well! Also just want to note that I've owned 911's, 928 GT, 912 and this is by far the best handling and most
fun Porsche I've driven/owned!

Porsche's baby Panamera delayed until 2019 or later

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

If you're enticed by the idea of a Porsche sedan but find the Panamera to be too big, your hopes may have been raised by the development of the so-called Pajun. But don't get those hopes up too much, because the latest word coming in from the Old World has it that the Panamera Junior has been delayed.
The Pajun was (and theoretically still is, despite tardiness) a project to apply to the Panamera the same winning formula that Porsche used to transmute the Cayenne into the smaller Macan. Its size would be closer to the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes E-Class than the larger Panamera, and employ an array of six-cylinder engines.
The smaller five-door was set to be the cornerstone of Porsche Product Strategy 2018, a plan that included several new models to be launched within the next four years. However, reports now indicate that the Volkswagen Group is counting on Porsche to help bolster its profits and is not keen on investing in new products at this time, pushing the Pajun and other projects back until 2019 at the earliest. Although much of the strategy remains undisclosed, it is believed to include (or have included) a sub-Boxster sports car and a supercar to slot in between the 911 and the 918 Spyder. There was also talk of a shooting brake version of the Panamera based on the Sport Turismo concept pictured above. What will become of those projects, however, remains to be seen.

Porsche planning more plug-ins

Mon, Jan 5 2015

Which automaker offers the most plug-in models in the industry? The answer may surprise you, because it's not Toyota, it's not Renault or Nissan or any other automaker that might spring to mind. The answer is Porsche, which already offers the Cayenne and Panamera in plug-in hybrid spec in addition to the 918 Spyder. And it could offer more in the near future. Speaking with Automotive News, Porsche's global sales and marketing chief Bernhard Maier spoke of the importance of plug-in range-extended models to the company's future plans. The 55-year-old executive, who endeavors to make his 56-mile round-trip daily commute from home to the company's headquarters in Stuttgart entirely emissions free, indicated that his company only plans to offer more plug-in models. Previous reports indicated that E-Hybrid powertrain in the Cayenne and Panamera wouldn't fit in the Macan, and that no such plans were in store for the Boxster, Cayman or 911. But when asked what Porsche had in store for the future, Maier replied: "We have a lot of ideas, but we have not approved them for production yet. The 918 Spyder shows that Porsche has the capability to produce very convincing hybrid sports cars." While clearly guarded, Maier's answer points to a future of more plug-in hybrid models from the storied German marque. All that remains to be seen is whether that will come in the form of a Boxster, Cayman, Macan or another new model altogether, like the rumored mini-Panamera dubbed Pajun or a mid-engined V8 supercar.

A 1985 Ford Escort for $915,000? If it was owned by Princess Diana

Sun, Sep 3 2023

What makes a used car worth more than the car itself? If it was owned by John Lennon. Or Muhammad Ali. Michael Schumacher, perhaps, or Stirling Moss. This year’s edition from the Hagerty organization of its “Power List” makes for amusing reading even if youÂ’re not on it. But you can make believe that you are. Essentially, the list, which was launched only last year, tracks the impact of celebrity ownership of a vehicle on its value, as measured by its worth at auction. Nearly 400 sales of celebrity cars and bikes have been analyzed from around the world by Hagerty using market data and “expert” analytics. Hagerty is aware, certainly, that famous folks — from royalty, sports, movies and music — grab gobs of attention from ordinary people. ThatÂ’s why the 2023 Power List comprises these categories: Art Cars, Racing Drivers, Movies and TV, Musicians, Royalty, Screen Stars, Sporting Icons. But you don't have to be a rock star or a F1 pilot to get listed: Princess Diana, besides an Escort Turbo RS that she owned between 1985 and 1988, numbered a convertible 1994 Audi 80 Cabriolet and a Jaguar XJS Cabriolet among her rides. HereÂ’s a look at some of the more notable entries: Racing driver category: In pole position was an unlikely titleholder, a 1976 Ford Bronco. This was the car bought new by legendary Canadian Formula 1 driver Gilles Villeneuve and untouched since his death; it sold at the Aguttes auction in Paris last December for $148,000, a huge 210% increase over the $47,800 that Hagerty would value a regular example in the same condition. Just a note: The list doesnÂ’t include race cars, only vehicles kept privately by the drivers. Musicians: A 1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow had been Freddie MercuryÂ’s personal chauffeur-driven transport from 1979 until his death in 1991. Without celebrity ownership, Hagerty would value the Silver Shadow at a lowly $9,500, a car that would take a lot of time, effort and money to restore properly. But add in MercuryÂ’s aura and bids ended at $362,500. “ItÂ’s no surprise that MercuryÂ’s car dominated our Musicians list on the 2023 Hagerty Power List,” the company said. Movies and TV: For those readers now emerging from hibernation since 1968, the news is that the historic Highland Green Mustang from “Bullitt” remains at the top of the Power List for the second year running.
