Up for bid is a 1994 Porsche 968 coupe. The car has 151,490 miles, but the engine only has about 130,000. The engine
is out of a 1994 968 Cabriolet. The engine was replaced because someone installed the flex dampener incorrectly and it
pushed forward on the crankshaft and wore the crankshaft thrust bearing.
The hatch was just rebuilt using professional Sika System components. We removed the hatch glass from the frame, and
completely removed all the old glue and primer. The new primer was airbrushed on, and the hatch glass reglued into the
frame. It looks amazing, and should not separate like the stock primer. The Sika System uses an activator which allows
the primer to bond into the glass, not just stick to the surface. The hatch is car color, which was an option, not the
normal Rally (satin) black. A new left side spoiler trim piece was installed when we restored the hatch.
The car runs and drives great. Everything works perfectly except for the cruise control, which is typical for the 944
and 968 models. If you engage the cruise control, the car wants to go 70MPH, and won't reset to a different speed. The
A/C is R134A and blows ice cold. The car has a factory alarm which works perfectly. The hatch and hood shocks all work
great.
The car has an Autothority performance chip installed, and believe me, you can feel the difference from the stock
chip.
I have installed loads of new components on this car in the 6 years that I have owned it. Here's a rundown of what I
can remember off the top of my head. Porsche factory motor mounts, Koni Sport adjustable shocks, left side hatch
spoiler, rear taillight assembly, one of the foglights, rain gutter trim, drivers door handle, door handle gaskets on
both sides, ground effect trim on both sides, hatch seal, inner sunroof seal, antenna mast, washer filler seal, outer
window scrapers, headlight pods, voltmeter/oil pressure gauge, all four dash trim pieces, rear bumper pads, cassette
tray hinge, all horn switch components, radiator, various cooling hoses, and metal glove box sliders to replace the
crappy factory plastic units. I added the front and rear engine bay covers which they didn't install on all the 94
cars.
The car has leather seats, leather steering wheel, leather emergency brake handle, leather shift knob, and a leather
cassette tray lid.The driver's seat is power adjustable. The interior is in great shape for a 94. There was a small
split in the driver's side seat bolster, but I stitched it up to prevent it from splitting any more. The carpet is in
great shape, and has always been covered with factory floormats (I took them out for the pictures). The rear cargo
cover is perfect with no rips or tears. The dash has the typical cracking from the sun.
The paint on this car is not perfect. It has been my daily driver 50% of the time for the last 6 years (I drive my 968
cabriolet in the summer). There are rock chips, a scrape in the front bumper cover, there are a few small dings in the
fenders, and the paint has been buffed through the top layer in a few small spots. With a coat of paint and a little
interior work, this car would be perfect. I want to give an accurate representation of the car. I don't want the buyer
to be disappointed. If you have any questions, please ask me before you place a bid. The tires are old and worn, and
should be replaced. The timing and balance shaft belts have about 20K on them.
This car is a lot of fun to drive. It handles amazingly, and will not disappoint you in any hard cornering situation.
The tiptronic transmission is great in rush hour, and when you kick it down to second on the freeway, it really gets
up and jumps. When you switch it over to manual shift mode, it is extremely responsive. I went from driving my 5 speed
944 to this car, and I did not miss wearing out my left leg running that clutch all the time.

Watch Porsche's 918 Spyder break a sweat while hot weather testing
Wed, 19 Jun 2013With five months left until the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder enters production, Porsche engineers are still putting the hybrid sports coupe through a battery of last-minute tests. To give us new reasons to ogle over the car - as if we needed any more - Porsche has released a short video showing the 918 Spyder undergoing shakedown tests in the hot Nevada desert. And you can't drive through Nevada without visiting Vegas, too, right?
Although there's really nothing new to see in this video, it's still fun to watch as Porsche approaches one million test miles logged on this exciting new high-performance model. One interesting part (at around the 0:37 mark) shows the car taking off under electric power and then transitioning to engine power, which results in a mix of whirs and growls as the 918 Spyder switches from a 127-horsepower electric vehicle to an 887-hp hybrid supercar. Scroll down to watch - and hear - Porsche's latest creation in motion.
Porsche 911 GT3 RS facing delay over GT3 fire problems?
Mon, 24 Mar 2014Porsche has never been afraid to introduce variants of its cars. However, its even higher spec, next-generation 911 GT3 RS may be delayed from its planned launch this summer while the engines in the standard GT3s (pictured above) are replaced.
A delay isn't certain, but executives want to make sure the high-strung mill is no longer a problem before they press forward with another model using it. Germany's Auto Motor und Sport asked Porsche CEO Matthias Müller about pushing back the launch, and he responded that it was too early to say. The company's current focus is making sure the engines get fixed and working on internal measures to prevent this kind of flaw in the future.
When fires claimed two 911 GT3s in Europe, Porsche initially stopped the model's sales and asked owners to stop driving them. It finally diagnosed the blazes as being caused by a loose screw on a connecting rod, which then resulted in crankcase damage and an oil leak. The company is replacing the engines on all 785 affected cars. A source told Autoblog that under 200 customers were actually affected, and the other cars were either at port or dealer lots. Hopefully, the recall doesn't postpone the road-going GT3 RS too far because we want to see what Porsche has up its sleeve.
Porsche 356 Outlaw is the other Continental
Wed, 25 Jun 2014In Porsche parlance, 'outlaw' basically means 'hot rod,' and that definition can vary from person to person. For Jack Griffin and his 1955 Porsche 356 Continental, it means taking a great car to start with and reworking it to become a classic coupe that fits its driver perfectly. The latest video from Petrolicious highlights Griffin's 356 and all of the personalization he has in the beautiful ride.
Griffin acquired this 356 in 1994, but it came in rough shape. That made it the perfect canvas to transform the coupe into the Porsche of his dreams. On the outside, only things like the hood-mounted fuel filler, louvered decklid and Fuchs wheels give it away as something special, but underneath, it is modernized to be a faster, more robust car. Griffin considers it "a piece of art on wheels."
Hearing the Continental name associated with Griffin's Porsche might be throwing you, since it's normally more associated with Lincoln, but Griffin tells the whole story of what makes it so special on his '55 in the video. Scroll down to get an automotive history lesson and check out this fantastic 356 hot rod.
