I found all kinds of 928s for sale in NC.... even a dark Marine Blue GTS & a black one too.... but no Cobalt blues ones... We're all holdin our breath.......

There was a 93 model that went through Barrett-Jackson in AZ a few years ago. The car was advertised in NC and had NC plates on it at the auction. It was this car:cobalt 93 GTS

That damn car right there^^^^has always been my ABSOLUTE favorite 928 ever imported into the U.S.! I'd have bought it the three or four years ago when it sold on Ebay, for waaaaaay to cheap I might ad (something like 28K, I think?), but was already tied down with 2 other 928's, or I would have at least owned it for sometime anyway!

Can't stop drolling. If I would have seen this one for sale I would have been all over it myself. Although I am having no issues with the Amazon green, Cobalt is still my #1 favorite.

Pretty sure its the same car. Doubt there are two '93 Cobalt blue 5 spd GTSs out there in the states right?

Cobalt blue is my favorite exterior color, and classic gray has always been my favorite interior color, triple that with the must have 5 speed, and voila, you have the car listed above.

I love the exterior and 5 speed. I would like the gray better with a black dash or just black interior. I have seen cobalt with gray interiors on other cars and I would never trade my black interior for the gray interior on my turbo. I have added blue seat belts and the full Exclusive carbon fiber dash and the car never fails to draw tons of attention and compliments. Cobalt stands out better with a darker interior. There are only 2 94 turbos in cobalt the other has gray interior. I am assuming there aren't any other US cobalt GTS's but we may never know. For some reason Cobalt was not a big seller back in the 90's yet in the UK and other parts of the world it was quite popular.

This is the same car that sold on BJ. I found these same pictures a week or so after the auction and I was so pissed when I learned I missed out on this car.

+1 You & me both. Not sure what color I'd chose but I think a dark or light Brown interior would look much better. Still I once owned a vehicle with a red interior - so I guess I could get used to any color if the price was right.

Edit: Or maybe a two tone dark over light brown.

Actually, the flash makes this cobalt blue interior look a lot brighter than it is. Cobalt blue interiors are not as sublte as the earlier dark blue ones, but they are not in any way "loud", either.

The trouble with these colors is that if they are a mix of leather and vinyl, the two materials age differently, and you get differences in color. (the leather usually fading in color intensity). You see this most on burgundy interiors, but the cobalt blue is also a candidate.

The attached was also taken with a flash, which brings out the nuances of color between different pieces. This is a minimally optioned European GTS with 15k miles on it. Since the picture was taken it was probably driven another 3k or so... Will see it again in a month...

Todd didnt post a price but on Mobile.de its listeed for 18,000 Euro, Which is about $23,500. Now imprting it is going to take 6 months and $10-15K additional, but for the right car it could be worth it. I would hold out for a 5 speed lower mile example personally. There is a nice amazon green GTS there as well

I wonder how many 928 Cobalt Blue there is on this side of the ocean. This is what my Cobalt Blue interior looks like. Sorry but I don't have good pics of the exterior.

I must say that after seeing the other pictures of the cobalt blue interiors posted by Nicole and Bertrand I find it much more appealing.

Cobalt blue with a black interior? Well, unfortunately it's not a 5 speed, but I should have included the other pics of that cobalt blue w/rear flares and yes, a black interior above. Here are all the pics, including that black leather interior:
