36k-Mile 1993 Porsche 968 Cabriolet 6-Speed

This 1993 Porsche 968 is one of approximately 354 cabriolets produced for the North American market for the model year, and it was previously sold on BaT in September 2017. Service since 2020 has involved changing the fluids, installing an RS Barn stage 1 performance DME chip, servicing the black convertible soft top, and replacing the timing belt, water pump, thermostat, battery, brake fluid lines, steering rack, tires, and more as outlined below. Finished in Amazon Green Metallic over Classic Gray partial leather, the car is powered by a 3.0-liter inline-four linked to a six-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential. It rolls on 17″ Cup alloy wheels and also has Koni shocks, automatic climate control, cruise control, a CD changer, and a cassette stereo. Now showing 36k miles, this 968 was recently acquired by the selling dealer—a BaT Local Partner—and is now offered with an owner’s manual, period literature, various accessories, a tool roll, a Carfax report, and a clean California title.

The car is finished in Amazon Green Metallic (L39A), and the doors and rear bumper cover were repainted under previous ownership. The black convertible soft top received a replacement left top lock in March 2022 and top cables in March 2023, at which time the headlights and third brake light bulbs were also changed. Further details include pop-up headlights, fog lights, body-color mirror caps, and headlight washers. A damage entry is listed on the Carfax report in September 2015, indicating “damage to front.”

The 17″ Cup alloy wheels were wrapped in 225/45 front and 255/40 rear Continental ExtremeContact DWS tires in April 2020. The car rides on Koni shocks, and anti-lock braking is provided by four-piston calipers over vented discs at each corner. The power steering pump supply line and brake fluid hoses were replaced in 2024, and the steering rack and power steering fluid cooler were changed in 2025.

The cabin features bucket seats upholstered in Classic Gray leather along with color-coordinating door panels and carpeting. Amenities include automatic climate control, cruise control, and a Porsche CR-1 cassette stereo linked to a trunk-mounted CD changer. Kicker speakers have been fitted in the rear panel, and the left tweeter was replaced in March 2023.

The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 180-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,600-rpm redline alongside gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level. The instrument cluster bulbs were replaced in April 2021. The six-digit odometer shows 36k miles.

The 3.0-liter inline-four features VarioCam variable valve timing and was fitted with an RS Barn stage 1 performance DME chip in April 2021. Additional work since that time involved changing the fluids and replacing the following components:

Timing belt, roller, & tensioner
Balance shaft belt, roller, & tensioner
Water pump
Thermostat
Spark plugs
Battery
Alternator & voltage regulator
Starter
Distributor cap & rotor
Engine oil cooler
Heater hose

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle that received a fluid flush in April 2021. A limited-slip differential was optioned from the factory.
