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.

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.

I hope it does better than 30k.

Looks great! You should post pictures of the interior and mileage.

Sweet and significant machine Brian. What wheels are on it now? And do you have the original Cup1s?

Wow, gorgeous car.

Quick question on the single stage paint: do all 968's have single stage or are some base coat/clear coat?

I'm pretty certain the blues were cleared except maybe maritime. Most likely any metallic color was cleared.

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.

You should list it on PCA Mart. They would really appreciate the significance there.

Beautiful car, you should list it on BAT imo if you don't get bites here.
