Welcome to the 968 Register website. My name is Jeff Coe and I’m the
current advocate having taken the over the position in July of 2008
from Don Hassenbein. I have been a PCA member since December of 1993
and a long time 968 enthusiast. My 968 fanaticism dates back to my
early visits to the dealer as a 944 turbo owner and drooling over
the new 968. I wanted one badly but there was no way I could make it
work with a new family and a mortgage. Luckily, the used 968s
depreciated quickly and in December of 1996 I took ownership of an
Amazon Green 968 cabriolet. I had a fantastic ownership experience
with the car, attending many events and enjoying it, and I thought I
would own the car forever. That was until September of 2007 when I
had the opportunity to purchase one of the most unusual 968s in the
US. The car was a former PCNA promo car (the 9th one built for the
US market), loaded with options, and purported to be the only NA 968
cab painted in the very unusual mint green paint color. I jumped on
it and my old 968 now resides in New Jersey. If you see my new car
you won’t forget it. J
Enough about me, let’s talk about the register. If you are a PCA
member and a 968 owner then you’ll certainly want to become a member
of the register. As our cars get older there will be a greater need
for community on all fronts. We'll all need help with keeping our
cars going, locating parts, modifications, finding out about events,
and most of all, learning about our cars. The more successful we are
at this the more enjoyable our owner experience will be and our cars
will actually retain more value. That’s where the register comes in.
The PCA 968 register is a resource for 968 owners to find
information about their cars and the only place to find the "PCA
connection". This connection provides access to PCA resources and
PCNA corporate for when we need them. You’ll find camaraderie with
the register. We have a long history of 968 events including the
annual celebrations. These events are hosted by members with PCA
assistance and provide a great opportunity to meet other 968ers and
see their great cars. We also provide you with the register website
which offers a wealth of information surround our cars and our
group. If you are into statistics, I’m the 968 register historian
and I have been collecting data on the 968s for years. You can find
much of this information on the website. PCNA doesn’t tell us too
much about our cars any longer so a centralized group like the
register that collects this type of information is the next best
thing.
Your 968 register team is made up of myself, Jeff Coe, as advocate,
Jim “Anchorman” Groelinger as co-advocate, and Ron Salvador as our
web master. Jim owns a 95 cabriolet in black and Ron has a rare
black metallic coupe.
If you have any suggestions or comments on the register or any 968
questions please let me know. You can look for email based
newsletters from the Register in the future and be sure to visit the
website for exciting new additions in the future. The register
belongs to all of us so we want to work to make it a resource that
provides you with plenty of value. Get out there and enjoy your 968!
