Nice car with low miles. I was looking at red 968's and came across this one for half the price with almost the same features.

I don't know about the appreciating part...strongly doubt that. But it looks like a nice car....red Porsches are the best.

WOW!!!
Now that is an incredible 968. I think the interior is chesnut brown which is very rare paired with red but take a closer look, it has the full leather interior!!! That is a rare car!!! But what is the deal with the gauge cluster? Someone should grab that car.

I didn't notice it before, but it looks like it says "Speedster" on the speedometer under MPH. My guess is that they are aftermarket dials, but I never knew anything like this was available.

Ok, I am seriously intrigued now...someone should mail him and ask him about those gauges.

I sent him an email. It looks like he is a 968 register member based on the stickers on the car but who knows, maybe they were there when he bought the car. Still, that is one special car. I would rather have it then the M030 which started this thread.

i started a new thread for this car and all the posts have been moved here

Definitely a chestnut brown interior. I should buy it just to get the interior parts for spares.

Maybe it was replaced at some point with a 964 gauge?

lol - do it - most of the stuff will change over - the a pillars and rear sections won't, but i think everything else will

[Mark]

I'd seriously consider it but a large chunk of my spare cash is about to be tied up in some real estate speculation and of course I just added the Audi so an additional garage has to come before any other cars. Of course I could buy that one and sell my cab, paint the new one white and it would be my favorite stock color combo.

So I got an answer from the seller with regards to his gauges:

"Gauges are one off from SpeedHut. Gauges + installation cost $1,000.00."

Cool cars,

The first one is Midnight Blue with a magenta interior and a matching magenta top. That is wild.

The second car is Amethyst with a magenta/light grey interior. There were actually 3 just like it sold in the states.

Looks like a Porsche crest in the front air intake.
I think the gauges look nice but cant see paying a grand for them.

That 2nd car, Amethyst/ magenta on linen interior, is Gorgeous. Shouldnt that wind deflector travel all the way across. Looks out of place just covering the center of the 2 seats.

[jeff968]

Anyone ever heard of "Speedhut" gauges?

More information:

The Porsche 968 was sold from 1992 to 1995, and marketed as the replacement for the Porsche 944. When production ceased in 1995, it represented the end of a line started almost 20 years earlier with the introduction of the Porsche 924. Over the 4 years of production, only a little over 12,000 cars were sold worldwide, with less than 5,000 shipped to the North American continent. There were approximately 2000 cabriolets and 2000 coupes imported to the United States between 1992 and 1995. Less than 800 coupes where shipped to the United States for 1994. The 968's engine was the second-largest 4-cylinder ever offered in a production car, and the most powerful naturally-aspirated 4-cylinder engine ever sold in a production automobile up to that time.

The speedhut dials are backlit and do not use bulbs thus they look like a modern car at night when lit up. I looked at doing this for my car since the dash lights are hard to see at night. This is a nice mod for the 968 but speedhut no longer makes these for the 968. I have been looking for along time to find a solution for the dash lights. I replaced mine with the "White Flamingeye LED Dial Illumination Kit" which is no longer being made either. Oh well, the search continues.

Interesting. Would you buy one of these Speedhut kits if you could find one?

I wouldn't pay $1,000.00 but I also really like the gauges.
