The pic is of Greg Schickel's 93GTS and appears to be lifted from DR's website:

With the exception of the wheels and a couple of small things it looks a lot like my 87.

Somebody call them and ask what the car REALLY looks like. It would help that you are interested and want to see the car, but don't want waste anyone's time, if it isn't EXACTLY as pictured.

Absolutely Greg's GTS, I have the original pics of that series he took on his property in KY.

Here are some more of the same series taken in Greg's back yard, those who have been there will recognize his back
"porsch". Also his barn is partially seen in next to last photo.

Pics were taken in 2005. His Kinesis wheels shown in the pics were the first set of my custom spec'd Kinesis wheels for the GTS, of which I sold to a few others as mentioned.

That is THE BEST rear wheels treatment on a 928 EVER! I said that back in '04 when I saw it at OCIC and still stand by that today! Just BEAUTIFUL! I prefer a plain 5 spoke center (because I am lazy and 5 spokes are easier to clean! LOL!) but these wheels are GORGEOUS!

I sent an email to the seller telling them that is NOT the car they are selling and they should put the PROPER picture up of THEIR CAR and I also flagged it as miscategorized on CL!

Just talked to someone at the dealership, they pulled up the CL ad and admitted it was not the car they had on the lot. He said he had no idea how that pic got loaded, but said the car is sold and the ad should be automatically removed tonight.
