Overview

This 1992 Porsche 968 Coupe is a rare manual transaxle example of an unsung sports car, well cared for and maintained over the course of its ownership in Florida, Colorado, and California. As one of just 713 North American-market examples produced for model year 1992, it presents a rare front-engine, rear drive platform for the manufacturer, boasting near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution. The Midnight Blue Metallic exterior shows remarkable preservation from every angle and benefits from five-year Ceramic Pro coating. Inside, Cashmere Beige appointments lend a lavish spec with bucket seats, a leather-covered four-spoke steering wheel and shift lever, and an electric tilt removable sunroof. Additional modifications have kept this model current, including Bilstein adjustable struts, Weltmeister sway bars, Porsche Maxlite 17” Cup 1 Wheels, and a Porsche Classic radio. The air conditioning has also been converted to R134a refrigerant with a recent system service ensuring full functionality.
.
When new, the 968 was a glimpse of what Zuffenhausen’s engineers could produce within the constraints of a conventional drivetrain layout alongside Porsches established rear and mid-engine hallmarks. A final evolution of its 924 and 944 predecessors, the 968 featured a 3.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine producing 236 horsepower. Available six-speed manual shifting, fully independent suspension, 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS, and unmistakable forward opening pop-up halogen headlights cemented the car’s novel styling and enthusiast packaging.
.
The 911 gets the headlines, but this 1992 Porsche 968 remains a true driver’s car. With 90s flair and proven Porsche credentials, it’s a surefire staple for the discerning collector. Clean Carfax history and comprehensive service records (totaling $28k since 2023 alone) pair with period literature, factory accessories, and more to define enthusiast appeal through and through.
