Up for sale is my B&B Exhaust.

I bought my 1995 968 with the B&B exhaust already installed. However, I also got the original exhaust with the car. I have since removed the B&B and re-installed the original exhaust.

So here's the good part, my 1995 968 only has 2,735 miles on it. I talked with the owner and he stated that the B&B exhaust has less than 300 miles on it. Also, the car has never been driven in the rain or through a puddle. As such, the exhaust is very clean.

Here are some pictures while it was still on the car:

The price is $750 + box/shipping/insurance.

You can reach me from 9:00 - 8:00 PST at 858/775-3932

While not in need of a B&B

only 2735 miles is amazing.

Thank you gents for the kind words.

As advised here on the forums, I changed all the belts and did the 30,000 mile "major" service (due to age, rather than miles). The only item of note, was a little moisture in the "original" brake fluid. All the other fluids were "clear," but flushed and refilled anyway (as was the "contaminated" brake fluid).

Love the car, although I still pine for a cabriolet "sibling" to keep the coupe company. I still think that the 968 is the best car Porsche has built to date, short of the Carrera GT (the only reason I contemplate playing "lotto").

As many have written here, the 968 is an incredible value and sports car on it's own merit, at any price. Being able to own such a capable car for a a reletively low "achievable" price, I'm surprised that more enthusiasts haven't caught on to our little secret!

Anyway, I've decided to return the car to "stock," which is my only reason for selling the light weight, terrific sounding, better breathing B&B exhaust.

I'll leave it here for the time being. If no one is interested, I'll eventually eBay it away.

Thanks guys (and hopefully girls!),
Rader

Fantastic find. I'm be interested in learning more about how you found this car and what options are on it. Looks like an M030 car from the rear shocks visible in one of your pictures.

Sweet!

Does that mean you'll also part with that Turbo S Spoiler too? I'd be interested in that. :)

Thanks again for the kind words.

Yes, it's a M030 optioned car. The car also has:

Sunroof "Delete"
LSD
Sport Seats
Factory Speed Yellow Leather on the doors and shift boot

and about four other options that I can't remember.

I'm going to keep the rear factory spoiler. However, I will be parting with the front TechArt spoiler. It's a very nice piece, made from a very hard, durable and lightweight material. As you know, it could be painted any color to match your 968.

I've always been a manic M030 968er; and I heard rumors of a 95 Speed Yellow with only 2,500 miles. So I diligently "tracked" the car down over a 27 month period till I finally found the rightful owner. By then the car had 2,738 miles on the odometer.

The car has spent it's life as a "show car" at PCA and other car events. The owner raced 944s and his other two 968s. "My" car was purchased to be a "survivor," thus the low miles.

Great car. I only put 300-600 miles annually on my sports cars. So it's a good "fit" for my needs.

Back in 1984, I quickly fell in love with the 944 and still admire the car. Like the 944, I feel that the 968 is a gorgeous/stunning car and is a "perfect" evolution of the 944 (and a true Porsche).

Absolutely love the car.

Pazzer,

Thanks for your interest. If you want the B&B exhaust, I'll box it up and send it UPS International. As far as freight cost, I would just send it "freight collect." As such, what ever the freight cost, is what you'd pay (not a penny more).

I'll take care of the box and packing material. Don't worry, I'll double box it with plenty of bubble wrap to ensure absolutely no chance of shipping damage.

It is a fantastic sounding exhaust and really lets the car "breathe."

Thanks,
Rader

Amazing - "...300-600 miles annually..." I do that on my 968 every week. If you love the car, how do you resist driving it? :lol:

Pazzer,

I PM'd you with the info to obtain a shipping rate.

Anchorman,

My daily driver is a Toyota Tundra Limited. It's a wonderful truck. However, it also drives like a truck. Which leaves me savoring every moment in the 968.

I only take Sundays off from work and I'm usually to beat from installs during the week for evening drives. As such, I am the proverbial "Sunday driver" you see puttering about at week's end.

Flash,

What is a "winchester mystery porsche?"

sorry - maybe that's just a bay area reference

do a google on "winchester mystery house" - you'll get a feel for the story, and then it'll make sense - it's how i feel all too frequently about these project cars

I purchased my wind screen from Rader... great cars and a nice guy. I paid list for the screen and saved the tax and shipping by picking it up at his home. Hey Rader, I found the Sunset receipt in the box listing a $100 coupon was used...mmmm. Anyway, it was a good deal for me.

Thanks for the update.

Looks like a price adjustment is in order as my B&B exhaust is "used" (however, ever so slightly).

As such, I will sell my B&B exhaust, boxed, shipped and insured to the buyers door anywhere in the lower 48 States via UPS for $625.

Any takers?

Just found that price after I figured I missed Your B&B. I was impressed to find it so cheap, and thought someone else who also wanted one might be interested.

BTW, Beautiful Car, espicially the color! <_<
