Default FS by Original owner - 1994 928 GTS - Amazon Green/Grey - AT - 29.5k miles

Here is the ad that is posted on various selling sites:

1994 928 GTS - #0062

Asking: $46,500 obo

This 928 GTS is the second 1994 built; a ONE OWNER GTS with just 29,513 original miles! Super rare Amazon Green Metallic with Classic Grey interior. Options include; sunroof, automatic transmission, supple leather, CD changer, heated left/right seats.

The only Amazon Green Metallic GTS built in 1994 and the final Amazon Green GTS of 13 built for North America. Extremely well maintained by its one and only owner including recent fluid changes, timing belt and water pump. Addtionally, the hood/hatch struts, battery and intake tubes have all been replaced this past week. The wheels are being refinished and the rear wheel well liners are going to be replaced prior to sale as well. Complete service records, books, tools and window sticker.

Never any damage history; in the interest of full disclosure, paint meter readings indicate paint thickness which is thicker than what is considered normal on the front fenders, hood, doors and rear quarter panels. Overall, the paint is in really nice condition. There is however some etching of the paint presumably from acid rain or perhaps a lawn sprinkler on the top of the left front fender and on the roof (less so than on the fender) that is noticeable under florescent lighting. I tried to capture in photos but couldn't; it doesn't show up enough to get a photo.

This GTS has NOT EVER had any paint work done by its owner which points to the additional paint being added at the Porsche factory or at PDI upon the cars arrival to the US. This is plausible b/c all the stickers in the door jams are applied upon delivery at PDI and there are no tape lines, overspray or any other indication typically associated with a car that's been painted. Upon reflection after we put a paint meter on the car, the owner mentioned that the car was delayed at port prior to being delivered to Hendrick Porsche in Charlotte. The owner is willing to sign an affidavit stating the car has never had any paint or body work while it was in his possession. The interior is in outstanding condition.

I own/manage www.928registry.org and have owned several 928s including 3 GTSs (still own a 1995 GTS) over the course of the last 20 years and can say bar none, this is one of the finest driving GTSs I've ever driven. It's tight, no rattles or squeeks, tracks arrow straight, the engine is powerful/responsive and it shifts crisp and smooth. Outside of the Porsche Tech that has taken care of this GTS since new, I am the only other person that has ever driven this GTS besides its owner!

I am selling this car for the owner and will facilitate all aspects of the transaction. Inspections are encouraged and welcomed.

Is there something up with the chin spoiler? It looks sagged or disconnected in the middle. Great looking paint though!

"The only Amazon Green Metallic GTS built and the final Amazon Green GTS of 13 built ...."

I wonder what that means.

I also wonder what he has covering the air intake duct tubes. They look good but not factory.

It's a way of making a rare car sound even rarer. The real question is, is this really that significant? Maybe, maybe not.

Considering miles and condition price seems really cheap. Owner must want quick sale.

Looks like the front edge is sticking out. I'll take a look at that and fix it.

These are brand new intake tubes from Porsche. No covering and/or dressing.

I love it! But if it were mine, I would drive it. That would be a bit of a shame.
