Data from info Rixter gave me at SITM.

I am currently working on the early 1993 928 GTSs and will post results when finished in a couple days.

No Iris Blue GTS'es in '93?

Not in the "late" models. I know there is (was) one in the "early" run of cars. Also, I do not know what color the metallic paint to sample is above either.

Chuck - great work. Are you going to do the '94's and '95's as well?

Gary Knox

PS: I have to get you some pictures and writeup on my '94 soon!!

Great I have been patiently waiting for this info.

Edit: Looks like there is one other with Cashmere interior after all but in auto. Ironically it appears it lives not to far from me. Small world . I am surprised i have not seen it, musn't be a PCA member otherwise I would know about it.

Here's the info on the early GTSs:

Just saw the For Sale ad on that Wimbleton Green GTS, they want $79,900.00 for it. Damn pretty car though.

Amazing to look at this and see just how rare some of the GTS colors are ... outside of the top three only a handful really of each color ever came to US (and some of those may not be around any longer)

Interesting the split in AT vs 5sp. Those 5spds weren't as rare as previously thought..nearly 50% of them...

cobalt

Not quite in all I count 239 autos and 167 5 speeds more like 60/40 but still more than originally believed.

I have one of 5 '93 Guards Red 5-spds? I always thought there would be more.

Seeing the numbers broke down like this makes you realize just how few of these cars there are.

Tom. M

I was thinking strictly 93...but yes..fewer 94 and 95 5spds..

No matter how you look at it any GTS is one of the rarer Porsche's produced for the US market for the history of the company. If you start breaking down the subtle differences like 5 speed and auto or color combos it becomes even more rare. my turbo is about the same with 411 total stock 94's imported and a good number of those were sold for racing. The difference is they were all 5 speeds so the count is not split the way it is for the GTS.

When you think of how many 73 RS's were made and imported and they go for 1/4 mil easily today, it would be nice to think the GTS will at least break its MSRP one day although I wish it would happen I highly doubt any car of this vintage will ever reach the stratosphere pricing we have seen with some of these older cars.


Sorry Tom in that case you are right. Although many separate the years I will always look at the model as being the same car no matter what year. To me it is the model and what it does that makes it unique not the year.

..... I know of at least one that already did

When one contemplates where the value of a GTS might be in 20 year's, one must also realize that there will be no gas avaiable to run it, and no road to run it on.

Of course the option might be available to convert it to a then modern power plant and install technology necessary to interact with the computers controlling the driver unattended hyway navigation system. But of what value would it be then?

Perhaps there will be "Nostalga Parks" developed with gas available at $30 per gallon and a "road course" that we can travel so that people who bought a muscle car at Barrett-Jackson back in '08 for a million bucks can take it for a little 15 minute spin.

Ahhh progress, how effin depressing.
