The wheels have to go, but something about the blue color on this 930 is cool.

Papa Smurf would be smiling ear to ear on boost behind the wheel of that smurf machine. Do you think he was going for powder or gulf blue?

Yeah.. doesn't quite look Mexico Blue..

Not to sure about that being the original color as that engine compartment is very dark. I don't like the interior all..except for the carbon.

just my 02 cents...

BEAUTIFUL! Interior is not really my cup of tea. And just not sure about the "original condition" description in the ad. I wonder if the seller means that the color is "original", as in: he had the creative sense to be "original" in his color choice for a re-spray???

I just have a hard time believing thats an original color when the mirrors have been swapped, the steering wheel swapped, the rims swapped, the intercooler swapped, it has rocker panels, whos knows about the originality of that interior, and the fact that it doesnt have the third brakelight pod, has reflectors on the rear bumper rubber, and side marker lights tells me it probably lived life somewhere outside the states.

Its an interesting car and Im glad someone is driving something other than red, black, or white, but it raises some questions. A COA might help, but if you read my saga on getting one of those, you have a better chance of getting killed by a divebombing buzzard.

With the dash, kneepads, steering column and center console all matching the seats makes me believe it could be a special wishes car. That would be a lot of work to dye all of those.

If it's an original color it's gotta be either Mexico blue or Riviera Blue. I think painting the fan, intercooler as well as having the interior to match the paint is a bit too much. Not for everybody that's for sure

Did he have just can of paint? And it was blue?

I might could live with the exterior, but not the interior.
