I love Craigslist and Autotrader.

that same car in Australia would go for around the 30grand mark and our dollar isnt that bad compared with yours at the moment...go figure

You should check this one out:

It is the 7th coupe built for the US market. Looks like it has sport seats and it's in Ohio!!

That car looks good, but I'm going to be picky about the color combo. I want another black on black car with a lsd.

PorscheDude1

Black on Black is the best IMHO. All business!

kasturbo

I agree. I've got a deposit on that car. I'm in the process of booking a flight, but would feel better if I could find someone local to look at it first. The seller has been very helpful so far. Car sounds pretty solid and a good canidate for my project.

If you can post on 968forums.com there are a few members that are in the NC area, that would probably lend a hand.

kasturbo

I still can't post over there. Kind of sucks.

Kevin- I am not exactly next door but I am 127 miles away. If your guy could meet me in Danville VA- it right at the border of NC I'll make every effort to inspect the car for you. I am a long time 951/968/911 etc owner. I've done clutches, trans, engine removal etc in my 20yr plus playing with these cars. I'd be happy to help if the logistics was right. Have you asked for a leakdown or compression check results? Might be hard for me on the side of th eroad or a parking lot...LOL. My zip is 24551. My leg would be about 75 miles. so his would be shorter. Here is from Chapel Hill to Forest.- were it hits 29 we could arrange to meet somewhere.- Mike

Mike, thank you very much for the offer, but I won't put you out like that. Flights down there for me are only $125. You would have that in gas. I'll fly down and check it out. The owner has been very good to deal with so unless something is major, I don't see this being an issue.

notthd

No problem- Not putting me out, just trying to help a fellow lister. I thought it would be a great reason to ditch work for a few hours and road trip my 930. I just install a zork style IMSA exhaust and it rocks. Figured I'd wear it out for a while and drag a friend along. Let me know if you change your mind. - Mike

What are your plans for the car?

kasturbo

Colin, not sure yet. For right now I'll be throwing my suspension and wheels on the car.

potent951turbo

I always thought a stock to simply modded 968 was a beautiful thing.

I also would offer to check the car out for you but I doubt I am any closer then Mike is.
