Wow, What a head turner! The interior is as new, and I cant tell if I like the color or not, but even if I hate it, for some reason I cant stop looking at it.

wow, what a car, and color. I can't believe that is factory, it reminds me of the color a lot of the honduh boys use on thier "show" cars...

But it looks much better on a 930..

That might be the only slant nose I would be willing to own....

We have a guy from Sweden who had his 968 painted in the similar Volvo gold color. Although a repaint, the color really shows off the car. If you wait around long enough those 70's colors will come back to vogue.

I love the color, but not the slant nose.

Still...what a stunning car. I must admit that when viewing cars like these, I wonder if I'll ever buy a new Porsche again! Too many gorgeous low mileage classics out there...

I'm with Sean,

Love the color, but dislike the slant nose. It definitely brightens up the exterior in a way that red does not. I wonder how it would look on one of our cars?

For what he wants you can now get a 94 3.6 turbo which will blow the doors off the slope and handle much better. And it is 7 years newer! Also, the 87 still had the 4 speed box.
