Vehicle Detail
This auction is for a 1994 Porsche 968 Convertible. It has a 6 speed manual transmission. I will describe the condition in depth as it will be a good project for someone.The following items have been repaired or replaced....-new fuel pump, in tank strainer, fuel level sending unit, fuel filter and tank to pump line.-removed and had cylinder head completely reworked and reinstalled with new Victor gasket set and seals, as well as a valve job.-replaced timing belts and idlers-replaced water pump with a new one, rotor and distributor cap, spark plugs replaced-had injectors cleaned and tested by Marren Injector service.-replaced all coolant hoses and drive belts.-brakes had been reworked but rotors were turned slightly to remove rust. Pads are 90%-replaced parking brake pads and springs. The engine was inspected closely when torn down and cylinder walls showed very little wear concurrent with the low mileage. The Variocam pads showed almost no wear at all. The car starts and runs very nicely. It is very snappy with power as it should be. There is a slight whining noise coming from the front of the engine and I am guessing that it is the alternator from setting or the new timing belts. I have put a couple hundred miles on it and the whining noise has diminished quite a bit. Like I said the car starts perfect, idles perfect and runs great. Temp gauge stays within the correct area. The oil pressure gauge works somewhat intermittantly but when it is working the engine holds great oil pressure. The brakes work well. The steering is tight and the car goes down the road straight and is amazingly quiet and solid for a 20 year old convertible. You definitely get the feeling you are in a well built car. The clutch feels good and the transmission shifts great. The body on the car is very solid and I have seen no rust anywhere. The paint is in pretty bad shape with some panels shining and some, like the hood with no shine at all. There are numerous small "dents and dings" as would be expected from a car of this age. Nothing major but they do show up with the black paint. The interior is pretty rough. Drivers seat bolster is ripped and the leather in both seats is pretty stiff. The dash is badly cracked and pulled in places. The instrument cluster seems to all work and all gauges work however as stated before the oil pressure gauge is somewhat intermitant. The headlights come up as they should and all exterior lighting works. The power windows work. The top mechanism has been disconnected so that the top can be put up and down manually. The trim around the top in the front has been removed and the headliner, which is in good shape has been left loose on the side were it covers the drive mechanism. The top itself is in good condition as well as the back window. The door panels are good as well as the glass in the doors. The windshield is great.The carpet looks pretty good and the car comes with a new set of floormats and several interior pieces. I have a used Porsche radio that is I believe the original equipment for the 968. I have a new shifter and boot for it, new sill plates and a replacement console cover. Wheels are Porsche turbo twist and very nice, tires will need replaced. As I said in the beginning, this will be a good project car for someone. The mileage is good and the body very solid. The drivetrain is solid. I am selling it to the high bidder at the end of this NO RESERVE auction. If you have any questions please email me. I try to describe stuff in my auctions well but I am sure I have left something out. Thanks for looking!
