Porsche 968 Club Sport for sale
3 cars in stock right now, inspected in the European country where they are located, priced landed at a US port with the import paperwork done.
Porsche sold the standard 968 in the United States from 1992 to 1995. It did not sell the Club Sport. The CS uses the same 3.0-litre 240 hp four, then removes the rear seats, the electric windows, the airbags, the sound deadening and most of the trim, drops the ride height by 20 mm, and fits Recaro buckets and 17-inch Cup wheels. The result is roughly 100 kg lighter and, to most people who have driven both, the better car.
Why Americans want it
It is the lightest, sharpest front-engined Porsche of its generation, about 1,900 were built, and American buyers have only ever been able to get the heavier version. The engine and most mechanical parts are shared with the US 968, which makes it an unusually easy import to own.
What the US never got
- 968 Club Sport (1993–1995), the stripped, lowered version.
- 968 Sport (UK, 1994–1995), the CS chassis with the equipment put back in.
- 968 Turbo S and Turbo RS, built in single figures.
Eligible years (25-year rule)
Every 968 Club Sport is eligible now. Production ended in 1995.
What to look for
- Is it a real CS? Check the VIN and the Porsche certificate of authenticity. Stripped standard 968s are sold as Club Sports regularly, and the difference is large.
- Timing and balance-shaft belts: the 3.0 four needs them on schedule. Documented service or walk away.
- Dual-mass flywheel and clutch: a known cost on these cars.
- Rust: galvanised body, so mostly sound, but check the sunroof area where fitted, the sills and the battery tray.
- Originality: many CS cars had the deleted equipment refitted, which adds weight and subtracts value. Original Cup wheels and Recaros matter.
Typical landed price
Europe: roughly €50,000–€65,000 for a documented car. Landed at Newark or Baltimore with duty at the rate in effect on entry: roughly $80,000–$102,500.
Registration notes
- California: built after 1967, gasoline; CARB lab certification applies, not guaranteed.
- Fuel: gasoline.
- Title: 17-character VIN, decodes as a Porsche 968. Registration depends on the state where you register the car: California requires CARB laboratory certification for gasoline cars built after 1967 and cannot register diesels, and the CBP package establishes the car as an import.
Our take
Of all the cars on this site, the 968 CS is the easiest to live with in America: the parts are the US 968’s parts, the dealer network knows the car, and only the trim is unfamiliar. Buy the certificate as much as the car.
