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.

2015 Porsche Boxster GTS [w/video]

Thu, 22 May 2014

You know the sound: the startling pop-brraaap-pop-pop shotgun fire of unspent flammables coursing through exhaust pipes that usually signals a raw, naughty powerplant beneath the hood.
But when you're nestled in the Porsche Boxster GTS' snug seats, it's not a crackling small block V8 or a high-strung Italian flat crank making the devilish racket, but rather the new king of the Boxster/Cayman lineup, a 3.4-liter flat-six that produces 330 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque.
Within the emotional vacuum of a spec sheet, the Boxster GTS' pumped-up grunt seems pretty mild, with a gain of only 15 hp and 7 lb-ft, respectively. But the reworked acoustical experience goes a long way towards suggesting the GTS has a trace of racing blood in its veins, and might even be missing its catalytic converters. In addition to the sonorous, centrally positioned tailpipes, the cabin also fills with lovely mechanical strains thanks to the "Sound Symposer" acoustical amplifier that's trickled down into the Boxster/Cayman lineup from the 911 for the first time. Boxster S, we hardly knew ya.

Porsche revisits its remarkable SC East African Safari rally car

Wed, 09 Jul 2014

Porsche and motorsports just seem to go hand-in-hand. The brand has defined itself by its ability to compete on the track with the concept that racing bred better road cars. While we are used to seeing 911s speeding along circuits around the world, the rear-engine icon's success in rallying is somewhat less well known. The Porsche Museum aims to fix that by highlighting a 911 SC that competed in the 1978 East African Safari Rally.
The 911 rally car definitely projects a '70s vibe. You wouldn't see too many racecars with a pink brush bar sliding through the stages these days, but it looks amazing. Its bank of spotlights and two, giant, hood-mounted horns definitely give away the car's purpose. Best of all, that fantastic Martini livery defines the looks of Porsche racers from this era.
The 911 SC performed well in the East African Safari Rally, but some suspension damage meant that this particular one never raced again. It's been a part of the Porsche Museum ever since. Scroll down to learn a little more about one part of the brand's off-road legacy.

Overnight action from the 24 Hours of Le Mans

Sun, 23 Jun 2013

We won't go into a recap here, but there are still leading positions being fought for in all classes - it's so close that leads are changing when a car goes into the pits. We'll let the recap wait until the end of the race, so for now enjoy some shots from last night's action at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
