A buddy and I are heading south this weekend to attend a few days of the Mecum auction in Kissimmee Florida. Over 3000 sports, muscle, and classic cars are registered, 1 big car show.

I was just planning on "just looking" but then this showed up on the list!!!

Looks nice, but i don't have any more room for 968s at my house!

It looks nice and clean. But why would Mecum have an auction in Florida during Scottsdale week? I guess 3,000 cars is nothing to sneeze at though.

Love the note:

- Sold new for over $55,000 in 1992

That is good. Mine stickered at over $60K and as they state, that was 1992 dollars!!!

Damian,
Scottsdale caters to a different crowd. Their auction is this week.

Yup, as I said. But the auctions continue through Saturday. Barrett Jackson has middle range cars, although Mecum drops below that level mostly from what I saw in the catalog.

That's Ken Lingenfelter's 968. It has a little over 60k on it if I remember right. It is in very good shape, but as you can imagine, it doesn't see much road time in the rotation of his other cars.

The Corvette guy??

XR4Tim

Well, yes he does have a large collection of Corvettes, but he also has about 8 Porsches, several F-cars, a Veyron, lots of muscle cars, and some other odd stuff.
Those pictures in the listing were taken in his garage. You can see the Cayman S on the left, the CGT on the right, and the 959 just beyond the CGT in the first pic.

He also owns that company.

Jeff, since you don't have room just pick it up and store it here as long as you'd like.

I bought the car - it is very nice - onl;y issue is the radio did not work. Had 50k service done (water pump etc) and new tires from two years ago. It is a CA car complete with all records from day one. I have a 993 and have owned 996 turbo, a 87 turbo, a 89 carrera and a 356 S90 over the years. I used to go to BJ but Mecum is much better - really for car guys while BJ is more about "lifestyle". Price was $22k - high but I like cars with complete history and I have not owned a 968 before I this seemed like the time to do it.
