About two months ago, I was chatting with a friend who works in the same industry as myself at a regional trade show. His house was under contract for sale and in addition to moving the contents of the house, he only had two weeks to get rid of his Porsche 968 before the closing […]
At the moment, early 944’s are probably the biggest bargain of the Porsche brand. You have a sweet looking car with a only a 143 hp 2.5 4 cylinder engine to haul around about 2600 lbs and are stuck with the less attractive pre-85.5 dash layout. It is fairly common to find Chevy LS swapped […]
The Porsche 968 was the ultimate version of Porsche’s infatuation with watercooled transaxle equipped front-engine cars starting with the 924 and 928 back in the 1970s. Values are on the uptick as the market for sub $20k Porsches has been entirely vacated by the aircooled 911 which values each headlight at around $20k, so buy […]
Porsche’s largely forgotten final iteration of the Volkswagen-derived 924/944 platform, the 968, has caught our attention here on DT about 10 times so far. Why? Because it was the final version of an undervalued bloodline, the most refined iteration of a long lasting model, and the last front-engined Porsche before the Cayenne started dominstrating all […]
By Glenn — Okay…I am just going to come out and say it…water cooled transaxle Porsches are the next big thing. Long considered the black sheep of the family, recent market activity tells me these oft overlooked water pumpers are about to come into their own. Limited edition specimens like the RS & Club Sport […]

The Porsche 968 was the final chapter of the long line of front engine Porsche sports car that started in 1976 with the 924. The 968 didn’t have a grunty V8 like the 928 or boosted potential like the 944 Turbo, but it has one of the better shapes from the front-engine Porsche era and […]
The Porsche 968 was the swan song for Porsche’s attempt at replacing the 911 with a font engined 2+2, and arguably the best looking of the 924/944/928/968 group. The elegant design is attributed to Dutch born Harm Lagaay who also designed the BMW Z1, Ford Scorpion/Sierra, Porsche 924, Boxster, Cayenne, 996, & Carrera GT (but […]
