RARE Colored 1993 Porsche 968 Cabriolet WP0CA2964PS840178 This is a rare Porsche 968. I want to pass my Porsche 968 along with my passion onto the next enthusiast. These cars are meant to be driven and for others to enjoy! It’s fast and fun! I’ve been slowly and steadily restoring it. Read on and see what has been done to this 20 plus year old car. It not perfect yet, but it’s a great start. The car is being sold as is. 81,000 miles…metallic green color with a black interior. 3.0L VarioCam engine with a 4-speed Tiptronic transmission. The 968's engine was the second-largest 4-cylinder ever offered in a production car up to that time. Previously owned by a family in Ft. Lauderdale, this Porsche 968 was part of the settlement. It had been in storage for a couple years when I purchased it. I had it professionally detailed. This is currently my daily driver. It not perfect yet, but it’s a great start. It’s being sold at a very reasonable price. If I had it painted it would be up there with the other Porsche convertibles in price. ENGINE AND DRIVE LINE… The car has had major engine service preformed including the timing belt, water pump, and front engine oil seals along with new belt rollers, ($1500.00). Transmission service including the flex plate was performed (auto damper $ 1800.00). AC conversion to new style 134 blows nice and cold. Heater works, as it should as well. This car runs and drives great as a Porsche should…smooth, fast and nimble. The oil and other fluids have recently been changed. I removed the old tires off the front and change them with new 17 inch Kumho ECSTA tires. An aftermarket convertible top was installed in addition to doing some work with the frame. The top opens and closed manually. I recently purchase the locking handles, which are included with the car, INTERIOR… The interior is in pretty good shape, however with most cars more than 20 years old the seats will need to be recovered due to regular wear and tear. The original radio was replaced with an upgraded Alpine unit
with blue tooth. The car has beautiful black rugs and perfect door panels. The rear seats with storage options were added. BODY… The over all body is in excellent shape and pretty much ready for paint. There is a small dent on the lower left side right behind the left side door. The hood has a small dent on the upper left hand corner. A little bit of bodywork will remedy that. And the hood and trunk are showing clear coat peeling. I was planning to repaint the entire car. All lights are fully functional and working. Fun facts… This car is very rare. For those of you not familiar with the Porsche 968 it was an automobile sold by Porsche AG of Germany from 1991 to 1995, and marketed as the replacement for the Porsche 944. When production ceased in the 1995 model year, it represented the end of the line started almost 20 years earlier with the introduction of the Porsche 924. There were only a limited amount of Porsche 968's built and shipped to the states. Approximately 2000 coupes and 2000 cabriolets were imported to the United States between 1991 and 995.This color combination is very rare. Combined with the Tiptronic transmission...maybe 10 in total were manufactured. If you have any questions or want to see the car I can be reached at 561 414- 8477. Only serious buyers please! |

Porsche 911 GT2 caught testing, is super bad
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Look what spy photographers have spotted sprinting around the Nürburgring. Our shooters nabbed a few photos of the all-new Porsche 911 GT2 in its native habitat without any of the bulky camouflage or cladding we're used to seeing. The result is our first truly clear view at the upcoming successor to the GT2 throne. From the looks of it, the new model will boast wider fender arches front and rear, and hefty air intakes set into the machine's hips should help feed a beastly 3.8-liter flat six-cylinder engine. Early guesses put the engine output somewhere around 560 horsepower.
Mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, the engine should propel this rear-engined heathen to 62 miles per hour in under three seconds. Top speed? Try somewhere around 200 mph. If that's true, the next-generation 911 GT2 will be the fastest 911 in Porsche history.
Porsche responds to PETA after tiger cub displays at Macan dealership events
Tue, 13 May 2014Porsche 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.
There's a Porsche Cayman under here somewhere
Wed, 15 Jan 2014What we have here is the work of Dubai tuner Royal Customs that is controversial even beyond its styling. The Middle East aftermarket house says it spent fourteen months developing a bodykit for the Porsche Cayman, and the results seem to be aimed at those who wish their coupe were a 918 Spyder - the nose, strake-filled and widened rear fender, carbon fiber wing and massive diffuser all cribbing some from Stuttgart's new hybrid supercar.
Even without a buyer, the Alpha One Concept is already controversial. When WorldCarFans posted on the Royal Customs car recently, German tuner Alpha-N Performance wrote in alleging that the Dubai package copies their design from two years ago, which was also called the Alpha One, a design with which it's clear the Dubai Alpha One shares numerous cues. We asked Royal Customs about its relationship to the Alpha One car, we were told, "Yes, there is a lot we can say about the remarkable similarities all of which will be explained by our press release by Mr. Emil from Autogespot. Please wait for the official release and you will have the full exciting story. It's an 'actual success story' and not a 'replication' story."
The response is referring to an "extensive report" on the car coming out of Autogespot. Royal Customs doesn't have the Alpha One Concept on its site yet, so we're still missing quite a few details on it, such as whether the Porsche engine has been given a similarly 918-ish workover. We do know that the company says each car takes 30 days to build and it will only build three of them, which is a number that should satisfy any haters and, even more so, its buyers. You can decide which side of the fence you're on by having a close look at it in the gallery above.
