Pristine 968 Porsche Coupe For Sale, Low Miles $16K
I'm getting closer to paying for the 928 S4 I just bought...and once I do that, I will be keeping my great shape 968 or raising the price significantly. If anyone is interested, you might want to catch me while I'm still "needy." H2
---------
I WAS asking $17,500 for this low miles, near pristine and absolutely excellent mechanical shape coupe. Additional more detailed fotos available on request. However, I've now identified a 928GT that I wish to buy and have lowered my asking price to $16,000. My enthusiasm to buy the 928 can be your entry into a great 968. It has 72,200 original miles.
There aren't many 6-speed 968 Coupes in better shape than this one (I'm an **** perfectionist owner) I have three sports cars and want to buy a 928GT...my wife says I have to sell something to make room. I'm not desparate to sell because I don't think I could ever replace this car for near this price. Great car but I have the hots for a GT V-8.
This car is great and I'd be confident to drive it anywhere. I drove in from Georgia to Idaho when I bought it and have refreshed many of the wear parts since then. No tears or unusual wear on the interior. Leather seats. CD player/radio is Porsche from Boxster (I have the original radio also but no code). Also has new B&B muffler cost $700 plus. And I have the original exhaust great shape exhaust, new fuel pump, new gas filter, tool kit (missing air pump), spare, no rust, doesn't leak, no cracks in glass, no cracks in dash, no wreck damage, new coil, plugs, sensor, tires, battery, racer X chip, intake box enhancement, powerful 3.0 liter motor, etc. etc. I'm **** about my cars. Also I should still have recent fotos showing perfect cams, cam chain, tensioner pads. Great leakdown numbers and compression, new TB, Water Pump, ALL new rollers, new tensioner, new fluids, etc. Does it have LSD? I don't know. It's not on the option list but it seems to perform like it might. I'm waiting for an icy day to try it out and see for sure.
The only reason I'm even considering selling is that I want a much newer 928 than what I have (and I want to keep my pristine older one too) and my wife says I gotta move something out before I move another car in. I'm about halfway to saving for a new 928 and when I get enough saved, I'll buy the GT and keep the 968 anyway, even if I have to move it out of the garage onto the street. Not selling it just slows down my program...but I really should keep the 968 since it's a reliable car and the 928s really don't have the same level of reliability. It's an engineering thing with the 928 (7 foot long Timing belt!). The 968 is much better engineered I think.
This car sold new in PA, was purchased by a woman, who kept it a long time, then traded in at a Bently Dealership, who didn't really want it, who traded it to a Porsche dealer, who put it on the auction block, and it went to Atlanta, GA. I bought it, flew back and drove it 3,000 miles to Idaho (long scenic route) and proceeded to make it near perfect replacing stuff that could go wrong on a long trip whether it needed it or not (peace of mind). I have three sports cars and drive this one about once a week. It's so nice I don't want to get door dings so I use my '02 Audi TT for my daily driver (it has plenty of dings!).
AC works, lights work, climate control works, etc. etc. rear window defogger doesn't work. Has new vinyl clear covers over front lights. I have a list of parts replaced new and receipts. I wanted it to be a car I could trust to drive anywhere, and I do. Let me know if you’re interested.

Hi everyone,
Harvey is selling his '94 968 Coupe.
I know Harvey from the 968 board and I know the pains he took to search for and locate a good example - and I know what he's put into the car after he bought it.
If you're seriously interested in a 968, (one of the rarest later production model Porsches, BTW), you really should consider Harvey's car. I don't think you will be disappointed - and the lowered asking price makes this car a true bargain IMHO.
Ciao!

so what are the differences between a 94 and a 95 coupe 968? I thought a 95 was the ultimate best for fixing all the little issues.. or is the 94 and 95 the same thing basicly?

Chris,
Maybe the seats. The '95 968 uses the same seat pattern as the 993. There was very little difference in the 968 from '92 through '95. Some have written that the potential ring/pinion problem experienced in some of the cars was allieviated after '94, but I believe that is inaccurate. I've owned 2 968's - a '93 and '95, (the '93 engine & drivetrain are now in my '92 racecar chassis), and experienced no problems with the drivetrains in either car.
Porsche used a different limited slip after '93 on cars with that option. One cosmetic feature was that on the US cars most, if not all, of the rear spoilers were painted to match the body color (instead of black). 17" wheels were an available option in '94 & '95 (not sure about '92 & '93).

Three Wheelin'
From what I understand all 95's are actually rebadged 94's. The 94's and 95's have the later style seats, but all the model years were available with 17" wheels, cup I's for 92/93, and cup II's for 94/95. My car is a 94 and does not have the painted spoiler, I think that was an option in all the years. Good luck!

Bump...the price will be going up on my 968 6-speed as soon as I get my (new to me) 928 S4 paid off. Or I'll be keeping the newer 968 and selling my '85S 928. I'm out of parking space.
