This is a pic of my 85 3.2 in Marble Grey. Offered in 85' for 6 months i believe and never again. Looks milky grey in shadows and white in sun or partial sun. At the 2010 Parade in St. Charles I saw it in a wide body. Chuck

That was the other color i thought it might be. Although it is so hard to tell. My car will look just like the one in the picture under fluorescent lighting. Violet blue is usually much lighter but in the same family as cobalt. That was why i was wondering if you had a color code.

There is a beautiful 928 with burgundy interior in this color. It always looks white to me but I get corrected. Unique color.

Mine is midnight blue with dark blue interior. But I know of at least two black Turbos with white interior. Both have been up for sale recently. Here are a picture of each car.

Signal Green is my favorite color on a 3.6 I seem to remember there being only two Signal Green delivered in the USA. I know one was ordered from Champion Motors Pompano Beach by a former owner of the IMSA GT Series and was driven pretty regularly in Ft Lauderdale area. Certainy the color is rare. Black, Red, White most common. I have also seen a number of Midnight Blue and Oak Green.

Mine came from Champion, I heard it was the owners car, then went to a dealer in Conneticut, then Brad Whitford of Aerosmith. Mine had roughly 18k when I bought it. The only other one that I know of is a ROW car and has blue(!) interior.

OK then, it is the same car... originally sold by Champion to Charlie Slater, resold a few years later by Champion to guitarist for Aerosmith, maybe through a CT dealer/broker? (damn I really wanted that car!)
At some point several years later it was advertised for sale by Ray Joseph in TX. At what point did you own it?
In '99 I eventually pulled the trigger on a one owner Polar Silver/Black that I still have. But, if that Signal Green ever surfaces again....hmmmmm damn!
