Just thought I'd share the following info for those that are looking:

Flachbau for sale

Turbo S Project Car for sale

... no affiliation, blah, blah blah, however I've been bitten by the bug for a nice blue '94 Turbo or Turbo S with 30 - 40k miles. The blue one that Richard Sloan is advertising would be great, however I'm not looking for a museum piece but a car I can drive.

Do a search on Sloan here and on Pelican

Flachbau

The flatnose has been sold to a collector in St. Louis.

The non-flatnose doesn't seem to really exist as Parcars keeps advertising it but can never come up with the car (I know for a fact that a bona fide buyer asked Parcars for photos and other details on the car and they could not produce them).

Thanks! I am fully aware of some of the stories. Key is to go into these deals with your eyes open, do a PPI and some research.

It's good to flush some of these "potential" for sale cars out on boards like this one.

Yea thats all I am saying. You can always buy a car from a jerk just cover all your bases.

Mark,

When I was out at Par a few years back looking at a '94, I started to lift the cover on a black turbo S with full bug eyes. I was immediately reprimanded and was told to leave it alone. I did see the insignia turbo S on the rear deck and did see the polished speedlines but that was as far as I got. Never liked dealing with them, always cranky. Unfortunately I could not tell 100% if it was a project car although they said it was.

That flatnose is a very nice example! Damm expensive to start with and still damm expensive now! I think I like the look of the flatnose.... better aerodynamics... hmm

Flachbau

Yes, Paul at parcars is a PITA. They claimed that they have had two Package cars (as you described) for sale for sometime now. But it's not possible to tell what their status is because they aren't telling and don't seem to come up with any details on any package cars that they claim are for sale through them. It remains a mystery.

Flachbau

And, with admitted bias, I think they will continue to get more expensive and eventually far exceed their original MSRP. This because more and more collectors are realizing their value and buying them up (there are only 39 in the US and at least one of those was totalled and several have been shipped out of the US). Once they are 20+ years old (classic) and only trading amongst collectors the price will become very firm and these will be $200k+ cars.

It's still a shame that people don't do what they should with these cars - drive them!

WOW! That color White is incredible! Absolutely beautiful!!
Is this the "Pearlessence" white as featured in Adler's book Porsche 911 Road Cars, Pg. 64?
Described as "a silver-white metallic that turned heads a half-mile away."

Anyone got any good Sloan stories...i always enjoy those!

I don't remember seeing that color in the book. But I have the Excellence magazine issue which feature a '94 Turbo 3.6 S with this color. The article says that if there is an accident or scratch on the paint, the entire car has to be repainted because it would be impossible to do a color match. Very pretty color in person.

Regars,

Sonny

Very tough to match but it can be done. You would want to bring this car to someone like John Paterek PCA paint expert to reapir this color. It wouldn't be cheap that is for sure.

Here is an interesting link to a few cars owned by someone in the same color.
