Porsche 968 Base Convertible 2-door on 2040-cars
Wickhaven, Pennsylvania, United States
Up for sale is my 1992 Porsche 968 convertible. I purchased this car 4 years ago in Florida. It had just less then 100,000 miles on it. All service records from 2003 are included. The engine was rebuilt at 95,000 miles. Included in the photos are a complete listing of the work done to the car after 2003 ,both before and after I bought it . The list is too long to talk about ,so please review the spreadsheet before you call with any questions. The car is essentially restored. The car runs beautifully and all of the operating systems work. The top is setup in manual mode. When I bought the car the right side convertible main bow was broken. I replaced it, retimed the motors and used it with the electric top lift for 2 years until last year one of the drive cables snapped. I have the replacement cable but because the top transmission units tend to generate a lot a friction, the cable will eventually break again. These transmissions (there are 2, L and R) can be rebuilt but manual operation is a breeze so I am leaving the car that way. The trip odometer reset does not work. The paintwork is very nice with only 3 chips/dents which are all shown in the photos. I think it was repainted before i bought it. The 4 way power leather seats both driver and passenger are working and the driver side has a manually inflatable lumbar support. The rear deck is removable and the 2 rear seats with seatbelts are usable. ( My 2 grandsons are the only passengers). AC and heating system, ABS, cruise control, CD radio with ipod input are all working. Many spares, relays, extra mats and custom car cover are all included. A new inflator for the space saver tire is included and the spacesaver is in great condition. The 18 inch tires with new aftermarket wheels have only 9,000 miles on them. The car has been garaged when not driven, but it is not a show queen. I drive it every week. I have the original manuals and tool kit with 2 sets of keys.

Porsche tells 2014 911 GT3 owners to park their cars pending inspection
Thu, 20 Feb 2014Porsche may have have a serious problem on its hands. After a rumored five 2014 911 GT3 coupes caught fire in recent weeks, Porsche launched an investigation and stopped delivering its road-ready racecar until it could diagnose the problem. Now, it has issued a press release asking all 2014 911 GT3 owners to immediately stop driving their cars until they can be inspected. Porsche is offering to pick up the cars from owners' homes and take them to the nearest dealer.
Porsche confirms that the at least two 911 GT3 coupes them have caught fire in Europe, and it has elected to inspect all 785 2014 GT3s worldwide. However, it claims no drivers have been injured in the fires. Unfortunately, Porsche says, "Internal studies to determine the cause of the engine damage have not been completed yet," so owners might have a bit of a wait before they are able to drive Porsche's ultimate 911 again. Scroll down to read the entire press release.
Porsche creates 'symphony' with seven generations of 911
Wed, 02 Oct 2013At Porsche, things are getting a bit wild on the 50th anniversary year of the 911. To celebrate it (again) in yet another inventive way, the automaker has called on the musical talents of seven generations of the rear-engine sports car (please suspend your disbelief, at least for the length of the video, and assume that generation two started in 1974) to perform a song that has eight notes. We're wondering which 911 is pulling double duty...
But before the Porsches are lined up for the short recital, the drivers let loose and drift them inside a hangar. Watch the video below, and tell us in comments which was more impressive: the song or the drifting.
Race Recap: 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans defines 'endurance'
Mon, 16 Jun 2014Commenting on the rush of events that rocked beginning and end of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Paul Truswell of Radio Le Mans said "the race is about the ability to endure, not just the ability of drivers to do what they do for a long time." The entire race machine, all the way down to the pit boards and radios, has to survive the stress and abuse of the entire day. This was the race to prove those words.
There were two Toyotas, two Porsches and three Audis, five of the seven led the race at some point, six of the seven ran in the top three. Toyota will be hugely disappointed that it didn't win when its car and drivers were so, so strong, but they gave Audi the kind of scare we haven't seen since the best of Peugeot's days, and Toyota did a better job of it even in the loss. Porsche blew away everyone's expectations, falling 3.5 hours short of a fairy tale ending that would have made Disney cry.
But Le Mans doesn't really do fairy tales. Well, not that fairy tale. Audi's Twitter handle during the event was #welcomechallenges. As usual, Le Mans answered for the entire field.
