it shows code 220, which is a torque bias differential. not truly a limited slip, which is a clutch type differential, but it is what was offered as limited slip in the later years of the 968

 

Here's mine as she sits. I'm doing a few things like new seats and the front splitter soon, so I'll update once she's all cleaned up.

Great looking car Vendetta How many miles?

 

Thanks! She's somewhere between 95 and 100K. I'll do a proper intro thread eventually, but I bought it late last year from a pair of grandparents who used it as their golf community cruiser in Hilton Head. They owned it since new, kept it garaged and immaculately maintained - with all records.

I flew down with a buddy of mine, and we drove it all the way back to Long Island, with a little 500+ mile detour to hit the Tail of the Dragon about a dozen times. Car held up like a champ!

Sounds like you got a gem. That drive had to been a blast. A proper road trip when you first get a car is a must in my opinion. Now you'll have to update your signature

 

Thanks, I think I did! And yeah, the Tail was AMAZING! I'll get around the sig soon enough. Lots happening at once with both the 996TC and the 968.

Here is mine

 

What color is that? Looks too mustard-y to be speed yellow, unless the light or the camera is playing huge tricks.

It's Speed Yellow and while the camera might have slightly altered the color it isn't far off. Could be that Speed Yellow back in the early 90's was different than the Speed Yellow of later years?

 

I don't think Porsche changes the named colors like that, but I could be wrong. Google "bahama yellow Porsche" and it looks almost identical to yours. Which would be pretty sick actually, rare color for sure. Whatever it is (I'm sure it's SY like you say but still, my lying eyes...), it looks good!

Another couple of pics

 

Recently acquired SY Cab, #3 of 10.

The car is #3 of the ten SY Cabs. Mods include:

• RS Barn Stage 1 Performance Chip
• Air box mod - complete with finishing trim in the holes, super well done
• K&N air filter
• Polished exhaust tip - not sure of the make/model, but the car sounds "true"
• ROW front directional markers, no bumperettes
• Design 1 Racing strut tower brace
• Design 1 Racing chassis brace
• Design 1 Racing exhaust heat shield
• Design 1 Racing short shift kit
• Factory sport seats

The recent "barn find" SY Coupe #5, which sold for north of $30K on eBay, found its way from New Jersey to Import Auto Haus here on Long Island, NY - a true Mecca for classic Pcar service and restoration. Owned and operated by Peter Potzinger, a true Porsche fanatic, this is the only place I'd trust with my 968's, and any air-cooled Porsches - if I had them. (Some day...)

My quasi-restoration of the GR 968 Cab was completed yesterday, so I figured I'd swap in the SY Cab #3 to let the good doctor prep it for long term storage. While I'm there, he tells me SY Coupe #5 is on the way. There was NO WAY I was going to let this opportunity slip by. I stuck around until the flatbed arrived and we staged a few shots with all three cars.

I can not believe the condition of SY Coupe #5. Aside from the usual suspects like the door handle and body moulding gaskets, and a few curiosities like a paint defect near an ill-fitting fuel door, the car is in impeccable visual condition. All body paint metered to spec, too. The interior looks barely used. If it checks out mechanically - and there's no reason to suspect otherwise - then the owner landed a real gem. I did not meet the owner, yet... but based on the car ending up at Peter's shop, I suspect whoever it is know what he's got and wants to bring it those last few millimeters to factory condition.

I'll be seeing this car again later in the week and will get more shots of just the SY's together.

Enjoy!
