That's an interesting combo but it works. Has anyone talked to the owner to see what the maintenance history is, how many owners it's had, accident history, etc?

So was there a company called Catalina putting the rear seats in the Cabs? I noticed the new ad mentions that.

Of 47 slate gray cabriolets only 2 had the magenta top and interior. They were both fairly early 92s (#23 and #137) so that is a rare cab. and should have the recessed hood badge and edged rear emblems.

I'm wondering if "catalina" refers to a style as in "2+2" seating. Does anyone remember a 300Z, RX-7 or other similar car having "2+2" seating...was that ever called Catalina style?? I, like John, came up empty when trying to find any info.
I believe there are a couple threads here about putting seats in the cabs and vice-versa...taking seats out and putting in storage boxes, so I think it would be just a matter of buying some seats and belts from a cab and dropping them in your car. Just a guess...I like my storage cubbies!

A couple of additional details about the rear seats.
All canadian North american 968 cabs had the rear seats as did the euro spec cars. US 944 cabs had them as well. If you can find one in a junk yard you could find the rear seat.
I've done the rear seat conversion twice. fairly simple. There are two outside bolts to remove and a small bracket to the rear with a small nut. Remove all and the cubbie unit comes right out. There are nice carpets found under the carpet which are fine for seating areas. To convert your rear area you will need a set of lap belts from a 944. Don't forget the bolts, you'll need those. The exterior belt uses the same floor nuts that held the bolt for the cubbie unit. For the inboard belts you'll have to use a nail to find the nut behind the carpet and poke a hole through it. Then install the inboard belts. Finally, you'll have to deal with that rear bracket by either basing it down or cutting it out. Then glue a small piece of carpet from the back of the cubbie unit to cover the area where the bracket was. then you are ready to go. The carpets work just fine. You don't have to add the seats.
Also, keep in mind, it is only a lap belt for your rear passengers but it is just as safe as giving them a ride in the back of a US 944 cab.
And, I have heard that the 94.5-95 cabs do not have the inboard belt mounting nut as part of the floor so you would have to add something.
Here are mine from my last cab:

<{POST_SNAPBACK}><!--quotec-->So I wonder if this car can still legally use the carpool-lane with only two people (for those of you outside NorCal, carpool here requires 3+ person unless you're in a two-person car). I thought the in order for your car to be considered a 'two-person car', it had to come that from the factory.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I looked at bringing a canadian 4 seat 968 cab into the US. Here in CT all they cared about was VIN verification. No speedo change needed either. So, if i was visiting CA I could have driven legally in that carpool lane for sure.
