1992 black Porsche 968 12 hours exterior only

[gmblack3]

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

Great job on a wonderful 968! I sometimes wonder what would have happened if Porsche hadn't stopped production of these series of vehicles? would have been cool to see how it would have evolved.
