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.
