1992 968 Non M030 coupe - originally built for PCA/944 Cup SP-3: (NOTE - NOT 100% ready to drive on track SP3 ready). Please see my updated post below posted on 3 May 2018 for those items still needed. GT5 class would be more appropriate with Balance Shaft Delete...but can be taken back to SP3 if you choose to redo them.
Additional (not included in 20k): I do have a spare engine minus clutch housing REGARDLESS: this is an EXCELLENT DE car at "minimum".... check out my photo album here on Rennlist as well for more pix.
Serious Inquiries: Email me or IM me for a Google Duo Video call if you want to see/walk around the car....hear the engine, start up....anything you need to help make your decision.
Odometer stopped working in 2014 with 155,000 miles. Drove it on track only since 2012. Complete rebuild (see below) and car currently has 3 hours of track time (approx 230 miles). Clear/Clean Title in hand; no salvage or rebuild. It is a regular title.
Car originated in Charleston SC, moved to California, then to Maine. I purchased from the 3rd owner in Apr 2012; built into a DE/Track car from July-Oct 2012. I do have maintenance records and pictures from early 90’s. It was wrecked back in the 90's and I have pictures and records of it. THIS IS A TRACK CAR...a VERY nice one at that, BUT if you are looking for a PERFECT 968 for the street, let's save each other some time. Here is what I’ve done to the car upon purchase in Apr 2012:

Ran a Test N Tune session at Carolina Motorsports Park on 20 April 2018; the car ran absolutely PERFECT. Video/Pix posted at the link below. I wanted to ensure that it is 100% operational prior to someone else being able to enjoy it. Video is RAW and UNEDITED so that there was complete transparency and you could see that I'm not using smoke and mirrors.
A little about me: I did 21 years on Active Duty, Marine Corps; retired in 2007; now in the Corporate World. WE (The car and me 😊 are well known throughout the Carolina’s Region and Peachstate Regions DE programs. 21 year PCA member (97-current). I am a Nationally Certified PCA Driving Instructor and have enjoyed my 968 at Virginia International Raceway, Carolina Motorsports Park, Road Atlanta and Mid-Ohio Raceway. Handles and BRAKES EXCELLENT….and with the new power plant additions I've already bested my "normal lap times" at CMP by 15 seconds. Ran 1:53 best. REALLY TURNS HEADS….I am constantly receiving positive comments on the car, both on performance and looks. SOUNDS AMAZING! Listen for yourself.
The exterior is in great shape/condition for a 26 year old "classic". Interior still has some of the “fuzzies” from carpet installation and has NOT been completely repainted like a professional factory race car. Something that the next owner can certainly do….if desired.
I wouldn't recommend to anyone the thought of taking her back to "street"; you would have to get ALL interior pieces (minus dash) for that...and you just can't find them anywhere; plus complete emergency/parking brake system. I do not have them as when I built the car in 2012, I sold and/or scrapped all of it.
I have NEVER been caught performing maintenance trackside; NEVER....always 100% dependable. I have factory manuals and build by the "book". That is the way I build...strong preference to take care of all maintenance issues in the garage; go to the track and enjoy my time!
Hate to see my Red Monster go….but it is time for me to move on after 6 years of TRACK time; I have “a few too many” toys…and I’m changing directions. Staying in the Porsche world...just moving mid engined.
Let me know your thoughts….
Car is located in the Charlotte NC area. Email: jajhb5@yahoo.com
Bump...somebody out there has to be looking for a 968 track machine....somebody....somewhere....make me an offer. No trades, however. TRACK season is upon us; get this and enjoy the spring, summer, fall (and winter in the southeast) on the track! You will not be disappointed.
UPDATE:
For transparency and as an update I wanted to ensure I included that this car is NOT turn key 100% ready to roll on track in SP3. I was building this for SP3 starting back in 2012. Here is the link to the 2018 rules: http://turbo.pcaclubracing.org/wp-co...cing-Rules.pdf
It is a mine field of "rules/regulations". When I built the car back in 2012 I was headed SP3 direction. Here is what I see is needed to FURTHER complete the car for 2018 rules and SP3: Seat Back Brace (Brey Krause makes one easy to install)
Fire Extinguisher
Electrical Cutoff Switch
Metal Cover installed over fuel sender (interior)
Transponder
Window Net
PCA Club Racing Stickers
Paragraph SPEC CLASSES, 1. Engine, (M) indicates Flywheels are free as long as OEM diameter (and it is).
ADDITIONAL ITEMS of interest for this specific car are: This seat is over 5 years of age; so YES, according to 2018 rules a Seat Back Brace is needed...(Brey Krause has one; not difficult to install)
I do NOT know about the Lyndsey Racing Balance Shaft delete kit that is used in this engine. THIS NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED (Bumpsthe car to GT5)
IF one is to RACE this car in SP3 they would definitely WANT to install LSD (It isn't a requirement, but would be a nice to have). I just haven't gotten to that part yet, but was certainly next on my list. I WAS going to race this car in SP3, but honestly just don't have the TIME (and most likely the talent) to do so, so I just stuck to doing DE's and Instructing. Just call me "Captain Slow"....shucks, that one is already taken!
So no smoke and mirrors trying to be used, I will correct my original post as well. No malice intended. Thanks USCarrera for clarification on PCA Club Racing rules for 2018.
Thanks ktr6 - YES, absolutely lots of fun. VERY strong running car, handles amazingly well....and a 26 year old "classic" now. Somebody is going to benefit from TONS of work....
"Paragraph SPEC CLASSES, 1. Engine, (M) indicates Flywheels are free as long as OEM diameter (and it is).
ADDITIONAL ITEMS of interest for this specific car are:
I do NOT know from reading the 2018 rules if a Seat Back Brace is needed...THIS NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED (it isn't that difficult if it is)
I do NOT know about the Lyndsey Racing Balance Shaft delete kit that is used in this engine. THIS NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED
IF one is to RACE this car in SP3 they would definitely need to install LSD. I just haven't gotten to that part yet, but was certainly next on my list. I WAS going to race this car in SP3"
Jerry a little help on rules for SP3 as with all PCA rule book questions:
"If rules don't say it can be done it can't be done, think that would apply to the removal of balance shaft
Back brace needed for any seat exciting 5 years old from date of manufacture stamped on seat Brey Krause sells one that is an easy install
LSD is definitely a race upgrade needed but not necessary to get started so start without it when ready add it.
Car can also run in PCA GT5 class which would allow balance shaft removal
Hope this helps you and any potential buyer
Good Luck, very nice car
