I have a red and would sure like to own a Silver Rose. Had a great opportunity to buy a local one 2 years ago a didn't, still regret my decision. The ocean blue one was on Autotrader 2 or 3 weeks ago in Florida for $23.000. It had 155K on the odometer. It is no longer on Trader. I wouldn't mind owning the rarest of the rare.

good to know, thanks.

If I do buy it, and restore it, it will not be a fully SR interior. The bolsters would prob be in matching leather, and only the inside sections willhave the fabric. Cutting down the "noise" visually

Love the exterior colour though, very classy.

If it was a Turbo S and not an SR, it'll probably become whilte.

But in a sea of non-SR 944s, it is pretty rare, especially more so now that many have fallen by the wayside.

If the car is an 88 Turbo S then I would think it is a rare car. Personally there is no way I would change the color of such a car. To each his own.
