Hey Jeff, hi gang...

Well I'm back in the fold, having picked up my '94 968 cab back in September. Needs a little cosmetic TLC, but mechanically she's in amazing condition.

Some details:
One-owner car - elderly couple, Hilton Head SC retirement community cruiser
Garage kept
Every record, service receipt, book, pamphlet, etc.
90K miles with all services completed, and then some
No mods to radio, body, nothing.
All original body and paint
Original top in mint condition - can't understand how, honestly
Seats need the obligatory reupholstering
And... it has the 220 LSD

Jeff, I'd appreciate anything else you can tell me about WP0CA2967RS840369 - thanks!

I was wondering what happened to you. Sounds like a really nice example, look forward to your intro thread!

The seats are original and trashed. The front carpet has been replaced and is black. I'm trying to decide what to do with the color interior rehab. The door panel carpet and front kick panels were dyed black and were looking terrible with grey patches. I just got finished recoloring them black. The seats are next.....

1 of 442 G1 Guards Red cabs (most common color on cab)

This cab is a true 94 (non 718) and has all the later model year changes like the 993 style seats and the lack of engine compartment trim.

So, I bought Chris's (sydneyman) '92 968. It was delivered last night and had a sticky lifter. I have since "unstickied" it using the mario and luigi technique. In the event that I was unable to get this head sorted, I bought an 88 951 for a motor swap. It's been a long time goal to have a turbo S replica. Chris's car was a good candidate as it is a black car with the beige two tone interior, nice suspension and he has added lightness. I also didn't want to molest a 1 of 1.

Still, I'd like to know what the database says about this car. Jeff, would you please?

I'd be happy to help but you are missing a digit. It should be NS820###?

Jeff

I'm going to go ahead and blame a wireless keyboard for that...

Did a bunch of wrenching on it tonight, sorted a ton of stuff. Then I embarked on the best drive I've had in ages. A bit under two years to be exact since my last p-car. The last 968 was in 2006, and a 951 since then. This car, properly set up, is such a blast.

Many thanks, Jeff!!!

Many thanks, Jeff...

Seats are replaced with 964 sport seats. Hubcaps are painted over on Cup 1 rims, hifi front speakers has been replaced with lightweight door cards with pulls which impacts the cashmere interior... making it a one of one.

...was trying to avoid that

Hi Marc,
Sorry for the delay getting back to you. I've been on vacation in sunny Florida but now I'm back to snowy Connecticut.

That is a very cool car with lots of great options. I have not seen or heard of it before.

It is black metallic, 1 of 31, but it has many great and rare options:
It has full leather seats in cashmere (a $2,500 option and rare)
dual heated seats
17" cup2 wheels
full power driver's seat
hi-fi sound
cd changer

and it has two rare exclusive options:
XC9 - dark rootwood shift ****
X32 - dark rootwood e-brake handle (1 of only 3 of the 4,242 NA 968s to get this option.

If you bring a camera cane you get me a photo of that e-brake handle. Thanks

Good luck
Jeff

If you could let me know the production date for the car that would be great. You can find it on the driver's door jam VIN sticker. It should read 8/92?
