I'm looking at buying a 968 for a ITR race car project. The needs to have a rear hatch installed - it's shattered.



I was told by the seller that a 944 hatch fits - can anybody confirm this?



The bigger question - how much can I expect to pay for a new hatch? Either a 944 or a 968 parts.



Thanks folks

New hatch if you can find one from a dealer (most likely have to be shipped from gremany) approx. $5800

A good used one from a wrecking yard $900 to $1300.



Yea you can use a 944 hatch with no problems.

You should be able to find a 944 hatch for $50

If its a race car wouldn't you want to replace hatch glass with lexan?

Yeah, the lexan option seems the better option.

Not looking to spend more than a couple hundred, dont really need a whole hatch. PM me your asking price. I could come and pick it up.

Are you just looking for the glass?

Thanks for the good info on hatches.



Per the competition rules in ITR you cannot use Lexan - a good thing because that would add to the cost of racing dramatically.



If I buy this beater - I'll be sure to follow up on the hatch offers.

I would be curious as to your asking price for the hatch also. I bought my car in pristine condition except for one main flaw. Someone tried to close the hatch or the like on a large object and it put a 4" * 2" scratch right in the middle of the glass. Of course 3 of the defrost heater wires are gone with that. Price of a new glass is out of the question, I mean I could get coil-overs and a RDB exhaust system for the same price!
