I am the original owner of a '94 968 Coupe Guards Red. so I have owned it for about 24 years now. Just can't part with it, even if it's for a 911 as these 968's are so unique, and there are tons of 911's out there. Yes I know, needs a bit more power, but can't beat the looks.
Yes, I have gone through the pinion bearing transmission work but other than that, it has been quite reliable with the expected clutch replacements, brake jobs, clutch cylinder replacements , etc.. all the regular work one would need to do as age and mileage accumulates. It's my daily driver and has 117,000 miles and very clean. I don't think I will be replacing it anytime soon either.
