Default Heads-up on what appears to be a sweet low mileage '94 GTS 5 spd for sale

Anyone seen this yet:

Ran across this by accident.

Under the artificial lighting, I can't tell if it's Iris Blue or Midnight Blue. Either way, it looks very nice.

Standard disclaimer: I have no interest or affiliation.

Very Nice!

That's what I thought.

Nothin like dreaming!

The add says "1 of 20 in this color." Therefore it isn't Iris unless the ad is wrong or ChuckZ's registry is way, way off.

The pictures are weird. The background has been photochopped out?

No price listed. 6k miles. They're going to be asking first-born prices me thinks.

Pictures look good though. Engine bay in nice shape. Etc.

Yes, I checked the registry, too. Dealer is probably unaware of the exact numbers.

Four Midnight Blue 5spds, 3 Iris Blue 5spds. At least two of the Iris Blues are accounted for here on Rennlist (RKD in OKC and worf928), and the mileage on the other doesn't match up with this one.

That's why I think it might be Midnight Blue, quite possibly this one: http://www.928registry.org/1994-928GTS-0119.htm (disregard the stock photo, and you have to look at the main 1994 model listing page to see this particular serial number is a Midnight Blue 5 spd)

I'd be happy to go run numbers if anyone's serious. The owner of that dealer is a regular at Cars & Coffee and is always there in something interesting. The GTS is probably the cheapest thing in his showroom.

Thanks Ryan.

$60K? I'd guess at least that much if they know what they have. Would like to call and ask, but you know what they say, "If you have to ask how much.."

The (Royal, Collective, Rennlist) We, also know the whereabouts of the Iris Blue Auto.

There is one Iris Blue 5-speed that is, according to ChuckZ, a salvage title. I'm going to bet that it isn't RDK's.

EDIT: OP mis-attributed quote.

Correct, it's not RKD's.

This car is midnight blue metallic over classic gray, an exact match to the 95 GTS (# 0074) I used to own. It is car # 0119 and I'm pretty sure the asking price is considerably more than $60k.

Thats a great find, it would be nice to know what maint. was done.
The only things I see are the hot post covers a bit off and the intake looks a bit low (sagging MMs) ., and a hole on the right intake tube.. It would be interesting to see the condition of the rear wheel well liners, my guess they are in great shape
Otherwise if you could find the cash you got a great car and I love the colors
