Description:

1992 Porsche 968 has undergone a full custom restoration, mechanically and cosmetically bringing it back to (and arguably beyond) its original glory. Every major system and component has been refreshed, replaced, or upgraded. Fresh paint, a fully restored interior with European leather and recently a Club Sport steering wheel (not in the pictures), cold A/C, and a strong-running engine with only 60k miles. This car is truly turn-key—rides smoothly over bumps, handles like a proper Porsche, and turns heads everywhere it goes. A full build list is included down below. Reasonable offers welcome.
