The 968 was a Sports car sold by Porsche AG from 1992 to 1995, it took over the entry-level position in Porsche`s lineup from the 944, with which it shared about 20% of its parts. Ultimately, the 968 became the final model in an evolving line started almost 20 years earlier with the introduction of the 924.



If I remember right this one showed approx 60k miles on the clock. This would be an exterior only detail.



Here are a few before pics that the client took:

Thanks Pat! Hope to find all is well with you.

Thanks Wade! You can really burnish the paint with SIP/green CCS if you take your time. An IPA wipedown revealed slight holograms.
