What color interiors were offered with GG's? I had a chance to buy one a few yrs ago, but didn't care for the green interior. I saw a GG 930 at Ventura Autofest last year with a beige(ish) interior. Did they ever come with black interiors?

You can buy a car with low miles. I bought mine 6 years ago with 28K. Other than the alternator, which I just replaced, no issues whatsoever. It now has a whopping 40K on the clock. I drive it about once a week, though it has made a few long distance (7-8) hour runs and ran beautifully. No oil leaks either!

Yea I'm surprised by the endurance of these cars, my carrera did 2 1000 miles trips in less than 48 hours.

I love Rennlist, always something to get into, I have ULTRA low mile collector 911's and never have any issues with the cars, they are maintained every year, and driven monthly... I don't know why someone would say that a low mile car is a bad thing, as long as it has been properly maintained, and when it comes to price, through the book value out the window with low mile 87-89 911's, and they are climbing as we speak.

My granite green targa has a dark gray/greenish interior with white piping.

Jim:

Maybe you should contact Shaynes and see if he would sell one and you can paint in granite green?

I would expect any car to do this. How does this surprise you?

Yeah, my car has about 110,000 miles on it and I would not expect anything less from it. Just turn the key and go.

If a low miles car is a "garage queen" what do we call the owner? Certainly not a driver. Probably just an owner or perhaps a spectator. For many years I was just an owner keeping my cars nice for the next person but one day I opened my garage door and introduced my car to the outside world on a daily basis and now I really know this car. And I believe both she and I are better for it.

Here's mine with 170k on the clock. Grey/Green interior was rough. Before and after pics attached. Replaced seat bottom cover and bolster panel then redyed with Leatherique.

That is a great paint color. I have seen that color before, but I never knew the name of it. Very nice.

Wow mthomas44 you know there are only a handful of cars that are granite green ext with green interior? My car is a replica of yours but a cab and my fuchs are granite green too. My seats are in good shape but I changed my carpet from grey to black. It looks really sharp now.
