Holy smokes a 968 CS in the USA! No price listed.. I'll be curious what she sells for. I sent an email asking for the price, I will let ya know. EDIT-"Hi Dan, we are going to price the CS right around the 90k mark. Let me know if you have any other questions"
Here’s another Grand Prix white coupe.on BaT.https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...coupe-6/Higher miles but seems fairly well cared for.I’ve seen it a couple times on either Craigslist or somewhere on AutoTempest in the last year or so for over $20K.
How easy would it to convert to manual transaxle, if you already had a trans laying around?
This one is in the PCA classifieds in Georgia asking $37,900

This car is registered to attend the Werks Reunion at Amelia Island on March 3, 2023. Anyone interested is more than welcome to give this car a very detailed look. More pics will be added to Instagram @1994_Porsche_968 in the coming days. I took some undercarriage pics while it was being service last week as well and will post those. Original steering wheel and clock is included as well.
This very car was featured on a YouTube Rennthusiast video. You can search that. That video was done prior to my ownership of car but it peeked my interest in the 968 and when I began my search for one it just happened to be listed. I have multiple classic Porsches and have my eye on a couple of other cars so wouldnt mind moving a car or two out. Very hesitant to sell because you just never see these cars out. That is the very reason I chose this car to take to The Werks Reunion....just never see them. If you are serious about purchasing a 968 and have questions....feel free to email me. I will answer as my schedule allows. I rated car as a #3 but it really falls more in line with a #2.
If you are into production details this car is pretty neat. It is one of 3 North American coupes with option XG8 which was painted rear spoiler. It was the precursor to the regular production option 595 painted rear spoiler. For XG8 cars they had to be pulled from the production line to have the rear spoiler painted. Note from the window sticker they charged $208 for this option. When they made it a regular production option the cost was increased to $213. There were only 3 NA 968 coupes produced with the exclusive painted rear spoiler option before February of 1992. It became a regular production option in March of 1992 which 412 968s received. My yellow coupe has option 595. The Matador does not have it.

That's pretty neat info! How rare was the LSD option in NA?

Just completed this task....IMHO dropping the rear suspension is the hardest part - not so much dropping but getting it back in place. The rest is time based and not hard at all particularly if you have the manual parts to swap out.

I totally forgot about pedals. I was looking at it from a turbo build standpoint. Have transaxle, torque tube, shift rod and shifter.........then it hit me.

OZ968....just out of curiosity did you use the same engine harness on your 6 speed conversion. I note the tip engine harness has a different part number but after removing a few of them can not say why this is as they appear the same to me. Not sure where and how the tip brain ties into the cerebral cortex but on the surface it does not seem to be at the engine harness. Can you verify what difference in the engine harness you experienced if any.
There are a few more parts needed on this swap that dont seem obvious like the pedals, clutch slave/master and hard/soft lines, speedo cluster, trans mount, reverse light wiring, bell housing, all clutch components, extension shaft, torque tube, including rare flywheel (or change to S2 system with balancer), the rear 2 muffler system has a different part number as well and suppose it has slightly different bend that the naked eye cant pickup??
So what did you guys think of this Japanese Import 968? Went for $26.5K. I think it is a sharp looking car, would get a lot of attention at an event me thinks.
