Feeler on my 1992 968 (Coupe, Red/Tan & amazing)
My Ferrari F355 is currently on Bring A Trailer and I may throw the 968 out there but before I do I wanted to at least toss it on the forum and see what happens. I'll post more and will probably put it on the classifieds later but thought I would start with this.
The car is fresh off a complete professional detail with a light (single stage) paint correction. I cannot believe the way the single stage paint shines...it's amazing. In the last 100 miles I have taken care of every possible maintenance item I could think of including belt, water pump, new shocks and struts, fluids, brake pads, brake rotors, and stainless brake lines. I don't have the benefit of a lot of the car's history so I figured I would address things that would even be remotely questionable. The car runs like a top, shifts flawlessly, and needs nothing. It's the nicest 968 I have ever seen, period. This was the very first 968 Coupe in North America and was "optioned" as a Porsche Show/exhibition vehicle.
I will carefully evaluate any realistic offer on the car but my gut tells me it will pull $30k on BAT so that's where I will start.
North American 968 Register production profile – Coupe NS820067
Factory options with option codes:
o LC Partial leather in Cashmere
o 220 Limited Slip Differential
o 383/387 Driver and Passenger Sport seats (1 of 154 coupes)
o 403 17” Cup1 wheels
o 490/494 Hi-Fi sound with 10 speakers and amps
o 691 AM/FM single in-dash CD-player (CD-2)
o 740 Show/Exhibition car preparation (1 of 10 coupes)
Per Jeff:
The car is the seventh coupe produced for the North American market. It has a build date of September of 1991 and has the early vehicle features such as the recessed hood badge and the larger, edged rear 968 emblem. Also, it has option code 740 indicating it did show and exhibition duty for PCNA. Even though this car is #7 it was the first NA 968 that actually made it to North America! #1- #6 were retained and never made it.

Don’t have the original Cup 1’s. Wish I did. I found a set with a fresh repaint for $3k and thought about grabbing them but I’ll keep it as is and let the next guy do that if he/she wishes.
She has 73,xxx miles.
The wheels on there now are very clean German made 18” Veloce 3.6’s. They really do look awesome.

Jeff will chime in at some point, but from what I remember all of the metallic paints have been two-stage base/clear, and at some point during 968 production the non-metallics went from being single-stage to base/clear.
