My 94 / 968 has made the trip hope at last Picked it up from Lugna Beach Calif. 2 owner car. 1 adult orignal long term owner and a teen for the last 1 1/2 yrs. The adult took damm good care of it, kept records of everything pertaining to the car and its upkeep, stayed on top of ALL maint and repairs and the teen, well he did what teens tend to do!!! The good thing is that He didnt own it long enough or drive it enough miles to matter.Made the drive up from LA with no problems and am now cleaniing it up. changing all fluids and looking very close at all of the past history for cam, cam chain, pads inspection and change outs along with all front seals and belts. Very happy with it sofar. My choice for oil is the Mobil 1 Twin V 20/50 / 3 qts for its ZDDP levels & 4 qts of Mobil 1 15/50.
The guys on this forum are the best. Always willing to help.
I may, not 100% sure yet, be tossing the idea around about letting go of my '95 968 cab. PM if interested, but like I said, just tossing the idea around.

Hi Carm, I too am looking for a nice cab. I have a 928, and wish to add a nice cab to my stable. Please send info if you decide to sell.
Thanks! Don
When looking at 968's, should I run away if I see a dash crack and missing section of lower front valance, and rubber welting falling out from a body/bumper seam?

I saw one like that in Connecticut. I'd do a careful ppi and see if there are any other major problems.
I would look very carefully at the dash. Unless the crack is very small, I would walk away (replacing the dash is a big job with big $) and, at least for me, it would irritate me every time I got in the car since the dash is so visible.
The other issues with the car you describe make me think the car wasn't cared for very well and/or sat outside a lot. So unless there are other reasons to like it (low mileage, unique options, etc) I would move on.
Nice and welcome!!! Looks like a clean late 94 or 95. The carrera 3s look great on the car. post the last 3 digits of the VIN and I'll post your production profile.

• Comments: Your 968 is a true 1994 model year car built in July of 1993 (could you check and let me know? Look on the Driver’s door jam VIN sticker). It has the mid-year model changes which include the 993-style seats and the lack of engine bay trim. Frank owned this car.
