1994 Porsche 968

1994 PORSCHE 968* Project Car VIN: WP0CA2960RS840097 88,400 MILES Heres a unique opportunity to experience one of the most balanced sports cars Porsche ever built this 1994 Porsche 968 Cabriolet combines classic 90s styling with precision German engineering. Featuring a responsive 3.0L inline-4 engine, near-perfect weight distribution, and timeless open-top driving, the 968 Cabriolet delivers a pure analog sports car experience that has become increasingly rare today. That near-perfect front-rear weight distributionthanks to its rear transaxle and up-front four-cylinder enginegive the 968 its well-balanced road manners. Its 3.0-liter engine is smooth, flexible and becomes sprightly above 4500 rpm. With 236 horsepower and a curb weight of 3100 pounds, the 968 feels light and nimble in curves and switchbacks, with just a hint of lift-throttle oversteer. This example was acquired by the current owner, a longtime PCA member, in 2005 and driven approximately 65,000 of the 88,400 actual miles presently on the odometer. It has been garaged regularly and stored during the Michigan winters. Cosmetically, the car looks good. Its original black paint shines, and both the convertible top and windshield were replaced approximately 3 years ago. Due to owner health issues, the vehicle has not been driven or maintained over the past 2+ years, and now needs some TLC to bring it back to drivable condition. A professional inspection was completed in December 2025, and a number of issues were noted. Disclosures: Minor stone chips and body dings commensurate with vehicle age and mileage. Passenger airbag has been deployed, not due a collision, but simply went off while the car was parked in the owners driveway, cause unknown. Dashboard airbag panel appears bent/distorted, and airbag subsequently removed. Additionally, cracks (sun and age damage) are noted in upper dashboard cover along base of windshield. Suggested solution encompassing both of these issues would be installation of an available aftermarket Upper Dashboard Cover (professional installation recommendation provided on request). Engine oil leak: visible seepage along bottom of engine; oil pan gasket deterioration appears to be cause of leakage (a known issue with Porsche 944 and 968 engines); oil pan gasket replacement suggested Transmission: second gear is nonfunctional; internal problem likely. A second (disassembled) 968 transmission will be included with sale Inner CV joint bolts require tightening (right side only) Brake pad warning light displayed; pads should be replaced Brake rotors show approximately 50% wear (currently rusty from extended storage) Mileage/age-based maintenance due: o Replace drive & timing belts o Change engine oil & filter o Brake fluid flush & replacement o Coolant flush & replacement o Engine air filter replacement Tires: fair condition, replacement recommended o Front, Michelin Pilot Exalto, date code 2017 o Rear, Michelin Defender, date code 2019 Original radio replaced with Alpine aftermarket unit, does not power up (fuse?)
