Default Perlglanz Green GTS in NJ - (New Photos)

I ran into the yellow-green GTS and managed to snap some photos. Regardless of whether it is the last 928 (I don't believe so), it looks like a really nice car.

S4 or GT with GTS bumper cover, GTS mirrors, and painted rear wing. Nice!

But certainly this is not the "last" 928 (which isn't the last anyway)

I don't think so. Definitely not a standard color for the years the S4 and GT models were made.

But remember, you could send them your wife's lipstick, and they'd match it. As long as you pay something like $10k and sign a disclaimer that it will be hard to fix any paint issues later.

It looks like it has the oval stock exhaust of the 87-89 S4 models.

No roof antenna indicates it's an 87-88 model.

If it has 3-point belts in the rear, it would be an 88; if lap belts only, it would be an 87. The grainy picture shows no indication of 3-point belts in the rear, even though it might just be invisible due to the lighting and angle of the picture.

At this point my guess is that it's based on an 87 S4.

You can thank the surgeon who saved me from going blind about 2 years ago...

My left eye has a new lens and is sharp but my right eye just muddies the water so to speak - need it fixing as well. I am glad you have sharp eyes.

Hope you can get it fixed. Not being able to see clearly can be anything from annoying and distracting to outright dangerous.

In the 70s a man sent a tuft of his dog's fir to be matched for his custom painted Porsche.
