This morning at our monthly Porsche breakfast, someone asked me if I'd sold my Boxster (the silver one, not Punkin). I said no, I'd been offered land in KC for it and straight up for a 2013 Mustang but I hadn't taken either of those deals. I mentioned I hadn't been offered a motorcycle in trade yet (that changed this afternoon).

He asked if I would take his 968 cab in trade. I don't know if he was serious or not, so I didn't pursue it. Now I'm wondering if it would be a good car to trade for. I don't know a lot about the car other than I would rate it in fair cond. I think it's an early 968, so it looks like they only imported ~600 cabs in 92. Hmmmm....

It appears they had issues with the manual trans in early yrs, but that should have been repaired by now. Also looks like timing and drive belts are important to do too. Anything else I should know about or look for before I do any horse trading?

And more importantly, is there a market for a 968 cab?
