Default M030 968 for sale

No affiliation with the seller. Being 1 of 99 with 030, and even fewer with 220, I imagine people will be interested in this one:

There is no VIN posted, so the jury is still out. The brake rotor shown in the pic is not an 030 rotor. Could be an 030 car with a generic replacement rotor, but we'll know for sure when the VIN is revealed

+1, that caliper also looks like the standard one in the wheel picture as well.

Good eyes guys. Get that VIN and we'll know for sure. I just need the last 3 digits. there were 10 red M030s in 1993. Could this be one of them? 142 Red 93 coupes that didn't have M030.

I had that same impression but the pic is so dark that it was a difficult call for me to make. Does appear to have adjustments on the front shocks but that pic is also poor to the point that it's a hard call to make

Comon Jeff. How many Red M030 with 220 and black sport seats?? You have the data to sort this further. Then perhaps you could post the vin, hehe.

Agreed, after reading the ad it appears the wheels might be 8.5 all around so I'm not sure if its is a front or rear wheel now.

Okay okay, you put up the challenge...

Of the 10 1993 Red M030s:
2 had cashmere interior
1 had classic grey interior

That leaves 7 with black interior.
1 of those had sport seats only
3 of those had 220 LSD only
1 had neither

Leaving.... 2!

Red M030s with black interior, sport seats, and LSD.

But wait!!! The seller mentions the "door ding" strips were removed. Sounds like the option code 418 body colored side moldings... Back to the database, of the 2 only 1 had the 418 side moldings. So, I know the VIN. Will it match up??? I'll give you a hint... PS8205??

We'll see.....

All 968 calipers mount toward the rear of the vehicle, so the upward appearing position of the caliper indicates passenger side front wheel

Jeff is doing 968 "CSI"
