Was going to say the same.
Both are very rare though.

Wish it was a little closer than 900 miles from me me - I'd be interested in having a good look at it, possibly with a view to buying.

Can't say the colour is to my taste, but it likely has the 4.7L 300hp engine, plus a manual gearbox. Would be a good candidate for megasquirt and a better exhaust with X-pipe - no worries about ruining its originality.

I feel like I grew up as an '80's kid and I LOVED Miami Vice...NEVER missed and episode and today have the whole series on DVD! LOVED the cars AND the guns! Have a lot of each of them now in fact.

I even like the look and feel of the '80's...better than the GRUNGE that followed for sure, and then "heroin chique" (or however you spell that second word)...

Now, the wheels...GAG ME! The color...NOT SO MUCH...not even back in the '80's...the kit... hmmmm... Take of the idiotic hood buldge and that top of the hatch spoiler and the "S" spoiler and leave the rest and I AM IN! I love that wide body Koenig kit! Prefer it in a cabrio though! Where is MC Hammer's car?! I NEED IT!

I saw that car and thought, "The 80's"...I'm a Miami Vice fan too. That show was so right for its time...a close cousin to Scarface...another favorite but I digress.

I appreciate the vintage of the vehicle but, ignoring the colour, its style is stuck in the 80's. IMHO an example of taking a concept too far. One thing is for sure...it's unique!

I remember seeing that car up close about 10 or so years ago over here in west Aus the koenig body styling looks great IMHO but the colour is $h1T , would look sweet in a dark blue or black

EDIT: it was for sale through a dealer for between $30k - $40k from memory

LeMans 5-speed is probably the redneck way of referring to the Getrag / dogleg 5-speed manual transmission.

Am I the only one that was able to get beyond the horror of the color to notice it is a RHD car???

Yep. Note this:
Q. Howdy, just for your information, I get the funny feeling that if this car came from WA a couple of years ago that I saw it for sale over there and it was supposed to have been owned by Rose Hancock. Can't be too many pink 928's floating around with the body kit you'd think! Good Luck with the sale Cheers Mark
A: hi mark,yes thats the car,thanks paul

I remember a pink Koenig with Spider Man airbrushed on the hood...

Someone bought it and painted it black, and it looked MUCH better!
