1993 Porsche 968 Cabriolet

1993 Porsche 968 Cabriolet

Published January 7, 2016 by Paul

As much as I’ve always loved the Porsche 968 Cabriolet, it’s a bit of an odd duck in the annals of Porsche history. However, I’m not the only one who is attracted to this car. In addition to the folks over at flüssig magazine who preach the gospel of the transaxle Porsche, former GCFSB writer Aaron had a few things to say about his desire to own a 968 Cabriolet in a conversation I was having with him yesterday evening. “Any Porsche made after ’98 is crap, ’80s 944s, 928s and 924s are all a bit dated. The 968 represents a ’90s era Porsche that the every man can afford.” Some may not necessarily agree with his sentiment, but having owned a 2000 Boxster, it must have had some affect on Aaron’s view of modern Porsches. If you share our love of 968s, check out this 968 Cabriolet for sale in Florida is one of two 6-speed examples painted in Amethyst Metallic.

1993 Porsche Carrera RS

1993 Porsche Carrera RS

Published December 26, 2015 by Paul

The beginning of a new year is a great thing for car enthusiasts, as it means another year of tasty vehicles we can get our hands on that were never imported to the United States because of the No Fun Club (aka the Department of Transportation and the Environmental Protection Agency). It will be another two years before this 1993 Porsche Carrera RS will be eligible for important to the US under the 25 year rule, but that date will be here before we know it. In the meantime, I’ll keep ogling at the Mint Green paintwork, my favorite of all 964 hues. The Carrera RS was a European market only 964, a lightweight special deemed a bit too hard edged for the US market. Nevertheless, 45 examples of a model similar to the Carrera RS were imported by Porsche for use in a proposed Porsche Carrera Cup series that never happened due to lack of sponsorship.

These 45 cars were sold without any advertisement, as Porsche was readying another lightweight model for the US market, the 911 RS America. Weighing in at just under 3,000 pounds, these 964s had a bit of weight saving features with just enough niceties included to appeal to the American motorist. However, for those who want the purest of 964 experiences, only a Carrera RS like this one for sale in France will do.

1993 Volvo 240 Wagon

1993 Volvo 240 Wagon

Published December 24, 2015 by Paul

It’s been a little while since we’ve featured a Swede here on GCFSB, so I thought we’d take a look at this Volvo 240 Wagon today. Unlike the Porsche Cayenne GTS we just took a look at this morning, this is not a vehicle that has an identity crisis. These Volvos wagons were built as no-nonsense haulers that could withstand everything a brutal Swedish winter could inflict. This 1993 example represents the final year for the 240, a car that can trace its roots back to 1974 and even a little bit before, considering it was closely related to its predecessors the 140 and 164.

1993 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Coupe

1993 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Coupe

This is not a 911 RS America. I make that clear only because when I first came upon this car I originally mistook it for a RS America and wanted to have a closer look. I was confused by the color, which is not one of the standard colors of the RS America. In fact, this color itself is fairly rare among 964s in general. The specific color isn’t stated, though it is said to be the car’s original color, and I would hazard a guess that it’s Oak Green Metallic. The lack of hi-res pictures don’t help in this regard. So why does it look like a RS America? Because it’s had a couple modifications – the suspension has been lowered and it’s sporting the whale tail of the RS America. When the seller says the car looks like a RS America, I agree. At least with regard to the exterior. Since I’ve always liked the basic look of the RS America and I also enjoy these darker shades of metallic green this 964 really drew me in and overall the condition looks quite good. The 964 itself continues to grow on me and I think right now their values sit in a pretty nice spot for those who desire an air-cooled 911 that possesses a mix of the modern and the classic.

1993 Mercedes-Benz 500E

The Mercedes-Benz 500E needs no introduction here at GCFSB. But consider this was a luxury sedan that was edging 330 horsepower in an era when many mid-sized sedans could barely muster 150 horsepower. Rather impressive for a four-door in its day, then. This Porsche-built four-door express is getting its fair shake in the market after years of sitting in relative obscurity. Currently, excellent examples can edge $40,000 or more. This 1993 500E for sale in Northern Virginia has just passed the 50,000 mark and has little to fault with it. Will this pull the big money? Let’s take a look…
