Default Some pics of my new Speed Yellow 968 Cab

Picked it up about a week and a half ago-business has been good lately so I haven't had a whole lot of time to really get into the polishing yet, but I spent about 2 hours on it yesterday. I swapped all the goodies from my red 968 coupe last weekend. It's got 26k miles on it, and for right now it's got M030 struts with hyperco coilovers, koni sports in the rear, M030 swaybars, 944 racing short shift kit, 18" Lightweights, Euro lenses, Big Reds/rotors/bias valve, stainless steel lines and the airbox mod. I did all the maintenance on it when I transfered everything from the coupe, and it's been nice enjoying the fall weather with the top down!

Wow - looks great! Any idea of how many 968 cabs were painted that color?

Gorgeous car! That's like 2200 miles/year. Was it a collector? Must've been near concours condition.

The PO just didn't drive it a lot. Not concourse, but I'm working to clean it like crazy, polish it and keep it as nice as possible. I'm going to drive it, so I'm not looking at preserving everything for concourse prep.

NICE! I love those wheels! I'm not familiar with porsche convertables, how do the tops hold up? I've been looking for an S2 or 968 cabrio, but haven't found one in the right condition/price range yet. Your car looks stunning tho!

The tops hold up well, the plastic rear windows are a different story. They tend to haze/split over time...I think rock went through a carwash and blew his up...this is the 3rd 968 cab I've owned, and they are a lot of fun! Very different from the coupe, but a lot of fun with the top down!
