Over a year ago, I looked at an Amazon Green / Tan 94 3.6. I really wanted the car to be nice, but it was a dog. I really liked the color combination.

Amazon changes color depending on light and can change from almost black to blue to green. Here are some pictures of my cars to give you a better idea. It is a very hard color to describe and the pictures don't do it justice.

Thanks for the feedback. I was told:

The car was previously listed a few months ago on ebay. It sold to a local buyer who used the vehicle as a daily driver. After a few months or a 1000 miles of use, the new owner decided it was too fast for everyday use. At some point, the dealership purchased the vehicle back from the individual.

cobalt I can see what you mean regarding the amazon green and indeed from your photos it is clear there is a colour change effect and a green hue, I just wasn't getting any hint of that from the pictures seen on ebay. It looked far more like Iris blue, which I didn't think the 965 was done in.

Anthony, that amazon green is a lovely blue colour

And I love those black centred cup wheels: maybe that's the solution I need to stop me spending more money on speedlines for my car!

I’m in Houston and my ex mechanic now works for Robert. I would be happy to go look or call my friend. In fact a coworker was interested the other day and I asked if he would take a look for me. He said he would put her up on the lift, I will check back with him if there is interest.

I put an offer on it about 6 months ago. When I got the PO, the Vin's didn't match. I called and Robert told me he aleady sold it for $53k and thought I wanted a similar amazon a year older. Nada. I think that deal fell thru but he did flip it soon thereafter. I would question the history on this one because this is the second time he bought it back. It's a great looking car less the muscle tail pipes. You really need to do your homework when you deal with Victory.
