I don't see any lumbar support in that driver-side pic. Caveat emptor.

Wasn't a similar car advertised on ebay recently? One of one that he owns, but that's about it.

How anyone can claim that there car is one of one is odd. Surprised it was not owned by the Warlock.

OK...so which is it? The "VERY RARE AUTOMATIC" or the "Factory Option: Manual Transmission?"
Also, no mention of model year, fwiw.

Doesn't say what year it is or give a VIN. Pretty car, but the usual caution should prevail.

The "options list" is all standard features, except for the sunroof delete. How many GTS came with sunroof delete? Errka? Bueller? There are no visible lumbar controls, and no visible crest on the head restraints. The 'very rare' automatic trans is a relative description; makes the 'ultra-rare' manual trans even more desirable.

OTOH, if it's a '95 and all the maintenance is up-to-date (included in that $9k PPI and "service update"?) then it's a good price for the car. It's also my favorite color combination.

Maybe Greg or Wally or one of the other Atlanta-area folks knows the car?

Thats what makes it so rare! they sure didn't make many of those automanual transmissions.

I rather though it was leaning towards saying that the sunroof delete was what made it rare - which is true - but it never quite got there...

"Like Going to Your Porsche Dealer & Finding a "New" 928 GTS They Forgot They Had!!!" -

YES! - apart from the 82K miles of test drives...

Protective Side Moldings
I don't see the rub strips. That's a deal killer.

What a tool ...

"THIS IS THE RAREST 928 GTS IN THE COUNTRY OUT OF 466 CARS IMPORTED!!!" 406 GTS VINs for North America (that includes Canada, actually not part of "the country")

"ONE OF ONLY 44 OF THE VERY RARE AUTOMATIC AS WELL!!!" Way more automatics that 5-speeds ...

"Lumbar Support Left & Right" Yeah, with the invisible switch option ... lol

"Classic Gray Rim Caps with Porsche Crests" Now that is interesting, a rim cap in an interior upholstery color, don't see that very often. Especially with chrome wheels

I have a one of one color. Does that count?
