Now available is this 1994 Porsche 968 Cabriolet finished in Polar Silver Metallic over Cashmere Beige. According to the 968 Registry, this 1994 Cabriolet is one of only three North American examples to have been finished in this particular color combination. It had spent most of its life in Arizona where it was purchased by the seller’s father in 2004, before being acquired by the seller in 2016 and subsequently relocated to North Carolina where it remains today. Well-presented and described to be in mostly original condition, this 968 is now being offered with approximately 61k miles showing on the odometer accompanied by original books, tools, and a stamped dealer maintenance book.
The Polar Silver Metallic finish is preserved by clear protection film applied over the hood and behind the wheel wells. Some minor cosmetic imperfections are depicted in the photo gallery and the cabriolet top is said to have been thoroughly cleaned and overhauled earlier in 2021. From the factory, this 968 came equipped with a black cabriolet top and 16” 5-spoke alloy wheels with optional colored Porsche center crests. These wheels are currently dressed in an older set of Kumho Ecsta tires.
The Cashmere Beige partial leather interior is factory equipped with a power-operated driver’s seat, cruise control, and the HiFi Sound System. The driver’s seat insert is said to have been previously replaced and some fading is noted on the rear seat carpeting. An aftermarket Alpine Bluetooth radio has been installed and all other gauges and accessories are said to be working properly aside from the analog clock.
This 968 is equipped with its factory 3.0 L inline 4-cylinder DOHC engine paired with a 4-speed Tiptronic S automatic transaxle. When compared with the outgoing 944 S2 model, the 968’s powertrain featured newly-optimized induction and exhaust systems, updated engine management electronics, and the “VarioCam” variable valve timing system which was a first for road-going Porsche models. This 968 is accompanied by service records dating back to 1994 as well as the original dealer maintenance book which shows routine service stamps up until 2006 at 52,375 miles. The timing belt is said to have been replaced at approximately 56k miles within the last 8 years, and the Tiptronic damper was also reportedly replaced in 2019.
This sale will include the original owner’s manuals, toolkit, spare tire, dealer maintenance book, service records, and a clean title. With its well-documented history and clean overall appearance, this 968 makes an excellent choice for any aspiring transaxle Porsche owner.

@Davidpoer That’s your choice. I’m on vacation and didn’t think I would need to bring records with me since the car has been up for plenty of time and I didn’t get any requests for specific details on bills. My mistake as a first time seller.
uh hu. If I was selling my car with a couple of hours to go, I would have my records with me. I went so far as to look up your city. Not that far. Too many red flags for me. Thank you, I'm out.
@Davidpoer I do have all the records including the one for the timing service but don’t have them with me and I’m on the road today.

Timing belt, water pump, and 4 new tires would require about $2,000. I want to factor that in my bid. Thank you again.
I saw the mention ( within the last 9 years ). I was hoping there was a receipt with the date on it, since you have records back to 1994.
@Davidpoer As stated in the description the timing belt service was done about 5,000 ago and within the last 8 years.
Hello, are there records of the timing belt, water pump replacement in the last 2 to 3 years? Is the 968 similar to 944 in it's need to have the above timing belt and water pump replacement on a regular schedule? Thank you
I assumed the jump in the bidding was from someone who had a price set in their mind and wasn't going to get involved in bidding if the price went above that. It wasn't anyone I knew had any sort of communication with. The price stayed at the $15k bid until I notified PCAR about it since I wasn't sure how they handled situations where bidders back out.
@robmsales PCARMARKET has withdrawn the bid mainly to accommodate the Seller. Please be advised that all bids are final and in the future only place a bid if you are 100% sure you can complete the transaction.
Please update the bidding as you all sell know the 15k bidder seems to be out. I’m addition a 5k increase on the last previous bid seems a little unethical and fishy
What is PCAR going to do with this situation?
Hi PcarMarket
I have to withdraw my bid on this 968 due to medical conduction we just learned about
I am will to make the PCarMarket payment if the bid is the highest
I hope you can work something out, but I can't buy the car at this time
Thanks for your help and time

This car has been in my family since 2004 so I know the history well. I also have the records back to 1994 from the original owner so feel free to ask any questions.
