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!!!

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.

Meet the main man behind the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

We have yet to catch our breath from our first drive of the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3, but if you're still not sold on the fact that this track-ready 911 is only offered with a PDK transmission, then you should take it up with Andreas Preuninger. Preuninger is the guy who led the team responsible for the latest GT3. Porsche has released a video giving a little backstory of what went into the development of the car, which had as its goal the creation of a pure, rewarding 911 driving experience.
The video captures the sights and sounds of the GT3 perfectly. Perhaps the best part is listening to Preuninger describe one of the defining moments that resulted in replacing the GT3's manual gearbox with the PDK. We don't want to ruin the video for you, so scroll down to check it out for yourself.

Porsche becomes first company to rent out Vatican's Sistine Chapel

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

We wouldn't go so far as to say God is a Porsche fan, but those in charge of one of the holiest Christian spots on our little blue marble are welcoming the German automaker into one of the religion's most revered and beautiful settings - the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. In so doing, Porsche will reportedly become the first company to rent out the holy hall for a corporate function.
Now, it's not like Pope Francis has signed off on Porsche doing do donuts in a 911 underneath Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam. Instead, the Vatican has rented out the home of the Papal Conclave to the Porsche Travel Club, which will host a classical music concert. The Travel Club organizes events and tours across Europe for Porsche enthusiasts, with the Vatican concert just one part of a tour of Rome.
According to Automotive News Europe, Porsche will sell 40 tickets - at 5,000 euros each ($6,379) - to the event, while the Vatican has confirmed that the Pope will not be in attendance.

Porsche gives GT3 owners extra year of warranty, new engines in production April 22

Sat, 12 Apr 2014

While the auto industry reels from massive recall after massive recall, Porsche has quietly been working on a fix for an issue that's forced owners of the new 911 GT3 to park their track-ready rockets for fear of an engine fire. Thanks to a leaked letter from Porsche to a GT3 owner (which has been certified as real), we now have an idea of just where the German brand is at with the fix.
On April 22, Porsche will begin production of a new batch of GT3 engines for the 785 affected models across the globe. As you'll recall, the original issue rested with a screw joint that could loosen the connecting rod. The new engines have an "optimized piston rod screw connection," that should keep the connecting rod in place. Once technical validations are completed, production will kick off and new powerplants will be shipped around the globe for owners of the troubled cars.
Porsche will hand out a certificate to owners of affected cars once repairs have been completed, as a means of documenting the work. To make up for the trouble, Porsche will be giving owners an extra year on their new-vehicle warranty, while the 911 GT3 concierge will be reaching out to compensate them for having to park their car for so long.
