At least one panel has been repainted on it, otherwise it looks to be in great shape.

I give up, which one and how can you tell? (Are you auditioning for Nicole's position of 'Official Rennlist Eagle Eye'?)

Found it - look at the vin plate in the last pic - you'll see the overspray.

I agree and I am not a red fan at all. If it were just missing the rub strips it would be perfect.

I hope I didn't mess it up for you. I just figured I would pass it along someone needs to ****** this beauty up. Best Luck

Hope all is well!

Leslie and Kevin were sounding like they might be up for a GTG/Fun drive sometime soon, I'll let you know if we put something together.
Too bad I didn't see this April 1st. Everything is fine considering. Working too hard for too little lately but I am still in business for the time being. Will see what tomorrow brings.

Let me know. I am always up for a drive if I have the date free. Although the 928 is going up on blocks in the next week or 2. I have the Zone 1 concours event in May if i don't start soon I will have no chance at a trophy.

So what is the maximum air speed velocity of an unladen Amazon Green 928?

Chuck,
The "wood" on this RUF car appears only to be the T shifter. There is no shifter surround/ash tray door wood, nor half inserts on the doors.

Since one of the wood shifters was OE my GTS, (it's been replaced, and is now in storage), it appears to me that the shape and appearance of this one is not quite right. It looks more like the aftermarket plastic ones that are fake wood to me.

Could be wrong, of course, as I've been many times before, and will be again.

More wood is good (take that like you will....)! Black mats would also be better than the light ones. The shifter looks stock to me.

Here is my old 95 GTS that had a boat load of wood and the shifter looks like the one in this 94?

Chuck,
When you look at the picture on the web site, taken from the rear/passenger side, the dimensions and finish just don't look quite right to my eye. As I said, I could be wrong, because the pleated accordian piece in tan is probably leather, which would be correct. Just surprising that's the ONLY piece of wood - and it cost ~$550 as an option.

I like the wood in these cars. I have been looking for a nice wood 5 speed shifter know that matches the fat leather one fore quite some time but have never been able to find one.

I also agree Gary the interior on your car is in my book.

This is a really nice looking GTS and I have to agree that the wood does look good with this color combo.

The passenger door color is slightly darker than the rest of the car which makes me think partial respray but its hard to say without seeing it in person.
