Now available is this 1995 Porsche 968 Cabriolet finished in Grand Prix White over a Marble Grey and black partial leather interior. Among the last of Porsche’s two-door transaxle sports cars, this 1995 example represents one of only 306 North American Cabriolets built for the 968’s final year of production. Throughout the total 968 production run, 6-speed manual cars outsold automatic cars roughly four to one, making this Tiptronic Cabriolet even rarer. Currently under the care of its third owner in Tennessee, this 968 is now being offered with just over 51k miles showing on the odometer.
This 968 comes finished in Grand Prix White with a black cabriolet soft top. The seller notes some rock chips on the front cowl and side mirrors as well as a small touch-up on the driver’s front fender. Additional images are provided in the photo gallery along with a clean CARFAX report. This 968 rides on factory 16” 5-spoke wheels which come dressed in a set of new Cooper tires which were reportedly installed within the last 50 miles.
Inside, this 968 features a Marble Grey and black partial leather interior with new door panels and new seats with black contrast piping. Factory features include power windows and door locks, a power-operated driver’s seat, and air conditioning. A small tear is noted on the rear deck and the seller reports all lights, gauges, and accessories to be functional apart from the thermometer and power cabriolet top mechanism.
This 968 is equipped with a naturally aspirated 3.0L inline 4-cylinder DOHC engine paired with a 4-speed Tiptronic automatic transaxle. When compared with the outgoing 944 S2 models, 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. Service information is available beginning from the seller’s purchase in 2018 including new tires, bearings, and routine fluid/filter changes.
This sale will include the original spare tire and a clean title. Nicely presented and with reasonably low mileage, this 968 is a great choice for any enthusiast in search of a vintage transaxle convertible.

Please note: I was the highest bidder $10600 … did not see it posted then I bidded $10800 still nothing. Could you please clarify!
The top is about 2500 to fix
Bid in the amount of $10,500
Bid in the amount of $9,850
@Bankrep40 I do not. I believe a motor. Heidi at Continental Imports of Gainesville should know but that is why I stop funneling money there. She wasn’t positive that would be the last item needed. They tried but lack of difinitive knowledge scared me away.
@phgollner2GMAIL.COM Do you know what part is needed to complete the job ?
@Bankrep40 The electric top is not working. It is partially fixed. Nobody in my area was able to complete the repairs needed. The frame was fixed, new cables installed and a regulator installed. There is still one item needed, but I decided to halt the money flow as I was sure it wouldn't return the investment and the top is so easy to open by hand. Never overheated with air blowing hard and cold in FLA heat.
Does the top function properly? Does the car overheat at all
@Nabsab1 For the most I wouldn't expect it to fully function. It has lit up with a temp on several occaisions, but it mostly remains dark. Because it has shown temp I never thought it might be a fuse.
Hello could you be more specific on the
thermometer?
@tompinky Hi Tom

Welcome everyone. I have owned this 968 Cabrio since 2018. The day I bought it I drove it from Chicago to Gainesville Florida with no issues. It has been running like this great ever since. I have owned five Porsches and this one is as fun as any of the others. I am afraid I wasn’t able to access any records since before I bought the car so if my answers are vague or unanswered that is why. I do welcome any comments, suggestions and of course offers. Thank you.
