New to me 94 Polar Silver M030 Car
Finalized the deal today on a 94 M030 car two hours south of my home. To think I nearly dismissed this car a month or so ago on a real generic cars for sale website as the pictures were terrible and they photographed it with the rear spoiler off (appears that it was being re-painted)
Drove her home this evening, rode stiff, and tight. Belts were done 12,000 miles ago but it was 6 years ago. That has me a little worried.
A local P car enthusiast site mentioned seeing the car and mentioned the M030 and sport seats (none of which could you see or tell in the add)
Anyway Jeff gave me this info on the vin
1 of 114 A8 Polar silver coupes
1 of 13 when you add the Midnight blue interior
1 of 99 M030 968 coupes
1 of 8 M030 Polar silver coupes
Lots of options:
A8 metallic paint
FJ partial leather in midnight blue
XD4 painted crest center caps
030 sport chassis package
220 Limited slip diff
383/387 sport seats
398 17" Cup2 wheels (part of 030)
490 hi-fi sound with 10 speakers and amps
595 body-colored painted rear spoiler
Car has 110,000 miles. Has been maintained nicely over the years, was a driver and not a garage queen. Paint is a little thin in places. Needs some love here and there.
Let the sorting begin.

Great find!! I'm working to accurately clone the M030 option on my Polar Silver and it is an expensive project...awesome that you found an original M030 Polar Silver....

Added a couple of pics, have had no time with work, kids, and everything to even start cleaning her up a bit. Uncovered today and let run for a few minutes so I snapped a couple photos.

Been there, done that; it's certainly not the most fun thing to do to a 968...
