As if it wasn’t enough that this car has super low mileage (18K), a 6 speed, and offered at a fair price it is also one unique 968. It is loaded with options and good ones, dual full power seats, dual heated seats, headlight washers, limited slip, body side molding, factory CD with hi-fi sound, and 17” wheels. It is colored in the popular polar silver and topped with a dark blue cab top. But what really sets this 968 apart is the interior. It has the extremely rare special order Provence blue/midnight blue full leather interior as well as the supple leather option. It is the ONLY North American 968 cab produced with this interior (there was also 1 coupe). It is very cool. The car had a sticker of over $63K when new thanks to all those options and this $5000 interior. Someone grab it. I would if I had the room.

"damn, that's a nice cab. What is the supple leather option?
Phil"
It is softer leather and has the wrinkles in it. You can see them on the photo, just in the inserts. Cost $400 more.

That's a real beauty. I would be surprised if it doesn't bring $25-$30k...best example I've seen in a long time..and it's in the fastest color as well [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif[/img]

Actually there has been a shift in the force in the past month, black cars are now the fastest 968's out there.

Do you guys like the interior? It is interesting how they made it. All the "soft"/covered parts like the leather and carpet are the special provence blue color but the hard parts are existing colored parts like the dash, which is midnight blue, the door panel tops, which are midnight blue, and note the seat hinge covers in black. This same provence blue special leather was also available combined with black instead of midnight blue but no one in the North American 968s ordered it.

That's was probably the closest blue color you get for the steering wheel and dash. They probably were not doing custom colors on those parts.

Believe it or not, they already had three other blues used for hard parts (dash tops, steering wheels). They had cobalt blue, marine blue, and midnight blue, so rather then make the hard parts in a matching provence blue they paired it with what they already had, black, and in the case of a complementing blue, midnight blue.

one owner and original condition. I hope it finds a good home.
Not a fan of the intr.
[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] Jeff- you should get %15 of the sale as your post is more interesting then his.
I love my 968 for what it is & don't hate it for what it isn't!

Thanks but I just want to see you guys shopping be able to pick up the more interesting 968s rather then them vanish.

I'm interested in the car but would need to sell the blue coupe to get into it right now. Can't have the Boss, a coupe and a cab with only a two-car garage. The interior IMO is awesome.
