Jeff, as I type, Sally is overlooking the Barneget Bay down the Jersey Shore. Still can't tell if it's blue or green?

[quote name='earossi' post='53106' date='May 23 2008, 03:02 AM']I have a 93 cab, Amazon Green over grey interior with the 6 speed that I am getting ready to sell. The car is not concours cosmetically in that is has original paint and has been a regular driver, so there is the usual amount of chips to the nose of the car.



What is nice is the mechanical condition of the car. I have had it for three years and have pretty much sorted it out. She has total mileage of less than 85K miles. New brakes and tires. Fresh tuneup including wires, rotor and distributor cap. At 65K miles, she had a new clutch and flywheel installed. Also, fresh timing and balance shaft belts at the same time. Engine and transmission oils changed out this year.



When I was looking for the car, it took me several months to find the right car. I was looking for a southern car that had never seen snow or salt and a car with full documentation. I found her in North Carolina. Full documentation and had spent most of her life in New Orleans (pre-Katrina!). The car has absolutely zero rust and no accident history.



I would characterize the car as pretty much stock. I have fitted

the RS Barnes exhaust and have installed his Stage 1 computer chip which really makes it run better. The car is also equipped with factory 17" wheels, which is a little bit rare these days.



The top on the car is so-so. It's gray and the rear window is clear, but there is one very small cut, about 1/2" long. The operating mechanism works perfectly. When sorting the car out, I had replaced both top driver cables and transmissions (several years ago). The top is not the original top, but is not pristine. This has never been a concern for me since I keep the top down whenever driving the car!



I have the original top boot and the original tool kit and tire compressor.



She's up for sale since we don't have enough good weather here in Chicago for me to drive her regularly. I have put less than 6000 miles on the car since I've owned it. So, I am replacing her with 93 Guards Red 968 Coupe, which is more practical since I really want to drive these cars daily.



She is not a concurs car, but I've priced her accordingly at $13,500.



Let me know if I can provide additional info. This is the 7th Porsche I have owned in the last 30 years, and I can't imagine being without one![/quote]



green is a great color

[quote name='blue968' post='52786' date='May 18 2008, 08:47 PM']I have been looking for a low milage cobalt Blue 968 for about 3yrs and have had no luck. But i am still looking and being hopefull that it may just pop up someday. I bought a red cab just to hold me over till i do find 1 , this seems to keep me sane for the time being.



Good Luck[/quote]



Not sure of th color name....but look in Autotrader.com for Cars,Inc. He has a blue 50K cab 6 speed for sale.
