Even though it’s not as fast as the 911, the Porsche 968 has great handling and is a lot of fun to drive. This type was first sold in Japan and had a lot of cool technologies built into it. Also, it’s as highly colored as they come in a beautiful Rubystone Red. Since 911 costs are going through the roof (Ruf?), Porsche fans have been looking for deals with the Stuttgart logo for a long time. This means that the “Poor Man’s Porsche” is no longer being made, though there may still be a broken-down Boxster around somewhere. In support of your non-911 Porsche purchase, why not buy something that shows off your choice all over the world in bright technicolor? Like this bright pink Porsche 968 that is being auctioned off on Bring A Trailer, which is part of Hearst Autos like Invoice Pricing. It takes skill to drive this front-engine, rear-transaxle Porsche, but the feeling is amazing if you can do it. There were only a few of these 968 models made, and they were only offered for one year. G4/L82N is the Porsche color code for this vehicle. Back when cars came in technicolor, the color was first seen on the 964 series 911s. Remember those times? When this car was first sent out, it went to Japan, which likes pink cars. In fact, Toyota used to charge more for a pink Toyota Crown Athlete, which is like the Lexus GS. Even Subaru’s STI performance section has a pink color scheme. If you want to be more specific, the 968 is an improvement on the 944. It had a huge 3.0-liter four-cylinder engine that made 236 horsepower at 6200 rpm, weighed less than 3100 pounds, and had almost equal weight distribution in the front and back thanks to a rear transaxle. Porsche finally made a Club Sport version of the 968. Walter Rorhl, a famous rally racer, said it was the best-handling Porsche ever. The odometer on this car shows that it has only 55K miles on it, and it has recently had repairs to the engine, clutch, and transmission. This car is left-hand drive and has some oddities, like a missing windshield and a hood badge that is set back, which is typical of a Japanese-spec car. The shop from Massachusetts selling the car has another 968 in that color, as seen in the pictures. There’s not a good chance you’d find another one if you took this car to one of the big Porsche meets during Monterey Car Week. If you won the auction for this brightly colored car, it would stand out among the silver and Guards Red Porsches. On December 26, the sale ends.
