Our Take:
- The 1994 Porsche 968 Cabriolet sits at an interesting point in Porsche’s history. It was among the last of the front-engine Porsches before the marque shifted its focus back to rear-engine models. Its rarity – being one of just 59 produced in the striking black/light gray/classic gray combo – makes it a real gem for collectors. It’s a bit of automotive history that you can drive around with the top down!
- While the listing mentions an automatic, there’s a contradiction here as it notes a six-speed manual – which was indeed an option for the 968. The manual transmission adds to the driving fun and engagement, especially important for those who consider themselves purists. This car's manual option stands as a testament to its era, providing a direct connection with the road that’s becoming rarer in modern cars.
- With its 17-inch Cup Two wheels and upgraded brakes and suspension (cross-drilled vented brakes, Koni struts, and shocks), this 968’s been given attention in all the right areas. These upgrades not only enhance performance but also appeal to enthusiasts who appreciate cars that handle as well as they look. The 968 was renowned for its balanced handling, and these tweaks only reinforce that reputation.
- The recent service history, including timing belt and water pump replacements, shows that this Porsche has been well cared for. It's like buying a piece of history that’s been thoughtfully maintained. Pro tip: Offering the original radio alongside a modern stereo is a lovely touch – it keeps the nostalgia alive while catering to today’s tech needs. Plus, the presence of the original tool kit and manuals adds to its authenticity and completeness as a collector’s item.
