Vehicle Description
This Concourse quality time capsule 1995 Porsche 968 Cabriolet
shows just over 24k miles and is one of 306 Cabriolets produced for
the North American market in the final production year. The car is
finished in Guards Red over a full black leather interior, and
power is provided by a 3.0L inline-four paired with a 6-speed
manual transaxle. Equipment includes a power fabric top, 17? Cup 2
wheels, eight-way power seats, automatic speed control, an Alpine
head unit, and more. Delivered new at Porsche of Willoughby, Ohio,
the car was acquired three years ago by the previous seller, who
added approximately 350 miles. A timing belt service was completed
1k miles ago in 2015, and recent work included an oil change, fuel
level sending unit, four new tires, and pre-purchase inspection and
A/C service. This 968 Cabriolet is now offered with factory books
and manuals, accessories, service records from 1998 to present, a
clean Carfax report, and a clean Georgia title in the seller's
name. The car is finished in Guards Red (L80K) accented with a
black power-operated soft top, for which the seller has provided a
demonstration video that can be seen below. Paint meter readings
show between 1 and 5 mils, and the Carfax is perfect and does not
indicate any prior accidents or other damage. The 17 " Porsche Cup
2 wheels wear BFGoodrich g-Force Sport COMP-2 tires that show 2015
date codes. Brembo brakes with four-piston calipers were standard
equipment on the 968 in 1995. The black full leather interior
features eight-way power seats, windows, and locks as well as an
airbag steering wheel, air conditioning, and cruise control. An
Alpine CD head unit has replaced the factory Becker CD-1, and
968-branded black floor mats have been added. Factory
instrumentation includes a 180-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a
6,500-rpm redline, and gauges for coolant temperature, fuel level,
oil pressure, and voltage. Just over 24k miles are shown on the
6-digit odometer. The naturally-aspirated 3.0L M44/43 inline-four
developed 236 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is
sent rearward through a 6-speed manual transaxle. The seller
reports the timing belt service was last completed in November 2015
at 23k miles. The oil and filter were changed in July 2019, and a
pre-purchase inspection carried out by Champion Porsche in Pompano
Beach, Florida can be seen in the gallery below. An aftermarket
catalytic converter is fitted along with a modified exhaust hanger,
and additional photos of the underbody and suspension are viewable
below. The option code sticker decodes as follows: L80K - Guards
