Default Interested in a 968 coupe

I've started to develop an itch for a 968. I curently own an '84 928S and a '79 911SC. Thinking of selling the 911 to free up funds.

I've poked around a bit and found a few other websites that cater to 968 owners. Should I spend time on those sites or do you guys consider the forum here on Rennlist the one to use? With regard to classifieds, I haven't found much here, or on Ebay or Autotempest. Is there anywhere else I should be looking?

Thanks
Hugo

Hugo,

Check the PCA mart. You'll pay a premium but the car will be a better one, owned by a Porsche owner. IMHO, this is the best site on the net for 968 owners. We have 968ers here that have been owners since the nineties.

As the PCA 968 register advocate, I'm often contact with 968s looking to be sold (or people looking to buy). Send me an email at jeffery.coe@snet.net and I'll put you in my looking file. Let me know your requirements.

Jeff

Hugo, there a few local folks (NJ/Tristate) that own and know 968's well. Let us know how we can help.

Count me among those still looking for a 968.
There seem to be very few for sale out in the Northwest.
Midwest and east seems to be where they congregate.....

Thanks Jeff, I'm still in the info gathering stage, but will definitely keep this in mind.

The closest I've physically been to a 968 is a 944 :-) It would be great if I could meet with a current owner who's willing to shoot the breeze and let me take a closer look at one. December is tough schedule-wise, but maybe we could arrange a meetup in early 2015.

Hugo,

Likewise. I'm in NJ and very active in PCA (Northern New Jersey Region). Earlier this year, I spent 4 months looking for a nice 968. Jeff was very helpful, as you saw above.

Contact me when you have time: be glad to show you my 968 and share my "shopping" experience

Thanks guys!

Bill, I'm a "not very active" member of PCA-NNJR. I attend monthly meetings a few times a year. The last event I attended was the concours workshop at Paul Miller in October.

The zone 1 concours will be in Northern NJ next May. I'm planning on setting up a 968 get together (assuming owners join us). Be sure to stop by.

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.
