Hey everyone, new member Brett here.
I am not new to Porsche's but am new to 968's. I currently have a 914 that I doubt I'll ever sell, and have had 911's and 944's in the past.
I love the 993/944 styling blend of the 968 and the engineering seems to be poised to stand the test of time. Got to love a 4 cylinder that is pushing 250hp!
Unfortunately, I am being very picky on which car I want and it turns out I'm looking fo a needle in a haystack. I am looking for a 6-speed coupe, with either slate gray or colbalt blue exterior, and gray/black/combo interior. I have talked with Jeff from the 968 registry and he tells me there were very few of those made so I could be looking for a while, which is fine. I don't mind waiting for the right car and paying accordingly for it. I will continue to do my research as I wait and read up as much as I can.
If anyone has a lead on the car I'm looking for, I would be very appreciative!

Welcome Brett,
I'm afraid if you were able to purchase this exact car you would need to climb over a hill of dead competitors. That combination is in very high demand. You might find that lowering your requirements, even just a bit, that there are many great 968s out there.
Best of Luck,
Jay

Thanks Jay and yes, I know I'm trying to find one of the most desired 968's built but being this would be a fun weekend car, I don't mind waiting. I'm sure one day it will show up <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/3gears.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
