I have two good sized cans of R12 if anyone is interested..
If I had to choose between a 968 and a 993 I would go for the 993 simply because it was the last of the air-cooled 911's and that engine is durable and fantastic. However, the 968 comes into its own with its handling characteristics. Not to mention that 3.0 engine isn't exactly lacking either.. Good luck with the search! Post some pics when you find one!

Gonna buy one of them when I have enough money for the car + one year maintenance in advance.
Though, one thing scared me off, was browsing these forums, and found that the OEM front glass panel of the 993 cost can go up to 10k$.

Well, there's nothing wrong with aftermarket glass... I got an aftermarket windshield in my '84 944, and it's fantastic.
My dad had a 964 targa. It's a matter of taste, so if you like it, go for it. Just be careful with those early 964s, they have no headgaskets and they LOVE to leak oil. The only way to stop it is to take out the engine and fix it.
