CARFAX report If you're a Porsche fan who wants something different
from the many 911 variants, 944s and 928s, MotoeXotica Classic Cars
is pleased to present this Porsche 968 Cabriolet. It's a one-owner
car that spent almost 22 years in Texas, with the orginal owner
from Frisco, Texas! The�Porsche 968�was made from 1992 to 1995. It
was the final evolution of a line of�water-cooled, front engine,
rear wheel drive�models, taking over the entry-level position in
the company lineup. The 968 was Porsche's last new front-engine
vehicle until the introduction of the�Cayenne�SUV in 2003.
Porsche's 944 model debuted for the 1982 model year, updated as
"944S" in 1987 and as "944S2" in 1989. Shortly after the start of
production of the S2 variant, Porsche engineers began working on
another set of significant upgrades for the model, as executives
planned a final "S3" variant of the 944. During the development
phase, 80 percent of the 944's mechanical components were either
significantly modified or completely replaced by the engineers,
leaving so little of the outgoing S2 behind that Porsche management
chose to introduce the variant as a new model, calling it the 968.
In addition to the numerous mechanical upgrades, the new model also
received significantly evolved styling, inside and out, with a more
modern, streamlined look and more standard luxury than on the 944.
Production was moved from the�Audi�plant in�Neckarsulm�(where the
924 and 944 had been manufactured under contract to Porsche), to
Porsche's own factory in�Zuffenhausen. The car's Guards Red paint
is in excellent shape, as is the accompanying trim. The paint
sports only minor imperfections visible upon close inspection,
especially on the right rear fender. The car's glass is crack-free
and clear, belying its age. The vehicle's lights are in great form
as well. All body panels make the car appear showroom new. The
engine bay is very tidy and the battery appears to be new. Car
rolls on Nitto Motivo tires, size 245/40ZR17 all around and
surrounding five-spoke wheels. Driver assist features include power
steering, power brakes with anti-lock and air-conditioning. The 968
was powered by an updated version of the
944's�straight-four�engine, now displacing 3.0L with a 104�mm bore
and an 88�mm stroke. Changes to the 968's�powertrain�also included
the addition of Porsche's then-new�VarioCam�variable valve
timing�system, newly optimized induction and�exhaust systems, a
dual-mass flywheel and updated engine management electronics among
other more minor revisions. The 968's engine was the second-largest
four-cylinder�ever offered in a�production car�up to that time. A
new six-speed�manual transmission�replaced the 944's old five-speed
and Porsche's dual-mode Tiptronic automatic�became an available
option. Both the VarioCam timing system and Tiptronic transmission
were very recent developments for Porsche. The Tiptronic
transmission debuted only three years prior to the debut of the
968. The VarioCam timing system was first introduced on the 968 and
would later become a feature of the Type 993 air-cooled
six-cylinder engine. Inside, the black leather/leatherette interior
glistens and calls to you. The bucket seats, matching carpet,
matching instrument panel with passenger airbag is in one piece,
four-spoke steering wheel with airbag, door panels, mirrors, center
console and shift lever are all in excellent condition. Rounding
out the interior is a Kenwood AM/FM stereo with CD player. Borrowed
944 S2 components include the�Brembo-sourced four-piston�brake
calipers�on all four wheels,�aluminum�semi-trailing arms and
aluminum front A-arms, used in a�Macpherson strut�arrangement. The
steel unibody structure was also very similar to that of the
previous models. Porsche maintained that 80 percent of the car was
new. The 968 also featured numerous small equipment and detail
upgrades from the 944, including a Fuba roof-mounted antenna,
updated single lens tail lamps, "Cup" style 16" alloy wheels, a
wider selection of interior and exterior colors and a slightly
updated "B" pillar and rear quarter window to accommodate adhesive
installation to replace the older rubber gasket installation.
According to the CARFAX report, which is included, this car has no
reported accidents or damages, no recalls, no indication of
odometer rollback, no airbag deployments and no structural damage.
Car was first titled on December 15, 1994 in Frisco, Texas. It was
driven an estimated 3,098 miles per year. The 968 carved out its
own niche in the hearts of enthusiasts. This is likely due to the
968's unique combination of speed and practicality, and low
production numbers.�Clean, low mileage examples have become
extremely scarce and expensive by 2013. Competition to this 968 in
1994 included Chevrolet's Camaro IROC-Z Convertible, BMW's M3
Cabriolet, Ford's Mustang 5.0 GT Convertible and Mercury Capri's RS
Convertible. This car is currently located at our facility in St.
Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the odometer shows 67,526
miles. It is sold as is, where is, on a clean and clear, actual
mileage Texas title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!! VIN:�WP0CA2965RS840726
