The old man picked this gem up off of eBay, which goes against everything we've ever lived by (i.e. buying a car you've never seen, driven, or had inspected). However, we've been hunting for a 968 with M030 for a very long time and could not pass on the opportunity! This car had every option we could have hoped for (i.e. M030, <acronym title='Limited Slip Differential'>LSD</acronym>, sport seats, cup wheels, etc, complete list of options below). The car went directly to the shop to get some much needed TLC (i.e. new belts, seals, bushings, etc) and I can't wait to get it back to give it a good detailing (I'll take more pictures once that is done). In the meantime, below are some pictures from the previous owner.

Nice looking 968!
Can someone explain the follwing Options:
498 - Rear Emblem Delete
900 - Tourist Delivery
09991 – Built under Exclusive Program
[/quote]
I was wondering the same thing on the rear emblem delete. However, I have seen pictures of a few 968's with crests on the rear of the car, could that be it?

Saw that car on ebay. If I hadn't picked up my M030 car two years ago, it probably would have been the one I would have purchased! You got a nice deal on it too. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.png" class="smilie" alt="" />

Current estimates to get everything back in shape, including variocam, waterpump, seals, belts, bushings, rear shocks, etc, is in the $5-6k range. In the end, we may end up spending $15k total, but will have an M030 that we can feel confident driving.
