Default Autotrader... Side moulding delete, nice color S4(amazon green?)

No affiliation, but this car looks interesting, No side mouldings and great color combo. Fair price.

Are Cayenne wheels ok for 928's? I bought one for a spare and it is horribly unbalanced towards the outside. The wheel will not stand up on its own because all the weight is on the outside of the wheel.

Very nice color! Too bad the interior color isn't all Linen - I would have bought it just to look at it!!

The wheels could be easily changed though S4 in that color are rarely seen. The moulding delete is a huge bonus. I'm trying to figure out the color. It looks like Amazon Green but that color was not available in 1987. What would this color be?

It looks too light to be "Marine Blue Metallic" or "Dark Blue".

Maybe it's Venetian Blue, but it too looks a little light for that color. Those are the only blue colors listed in the color chip chart for 1987.

Of course, the color chart is by no means their complete 1987 color offerings.

I DID notice it had the RARE color matched steering wheel rim option!!

Maybe it's not the original color. A repaint might explain the side molding delete also. Not necessarily a bad thing if it's done right.

This was what I thought, Looking at this photo under the "928" on the door sill the color doesn't look blue underneath, but the stickers are in place in the door jamb.

Could just be very dusty/dirty under there.

Center console appears to be in the initial stages of warping/peeling and I will be very interested to see underneath that steering wheel cover. We shall see...

"07-05-2009"???? Been there a while, I'd say!
