Very nice. Now that it is 25 YO, I wonder what it would take to get it into the US?

I had started to look into it, but ultimately decided against it. Supposedly very straightforward as long as you're at or past 25 years.

Given the price they wanted (I did communicate with them), all the extra stuff to deal with, and the mileage, I went a slightly different route...!!!

And Jim, this is a very cool car but NOWHERE near as clean as your car. And your car is almost as interesting.

The mileage confused me for a few minutes. And I thought they said it had manual windows. That's a heckuva price premium for a lightweight variant. But then again the CS was rare and practically the only 968 that was reviewed well.

The 25-Year rule is a box to check on the EPA forms. Having recently imported a car, it took 2-3 days from port to clearing customs. Maybe less. It's easy.

I thought I saw this car for sale when it was first imported from Japan. If I remember correctly the price was in the mid $20k range then

Importing is a piece of cake but does require payment of a 2.5% tariff and an importer to bring it over for you. I do believe you can bring it across yourself and save on the importer fees but you can't avoid the 2.5% unless the car was originally in the US.
I talked to this guy about 6+ months ago about this car and the numbers we discussed were quite a bit less than the current ask (think low 60's). Appears to have been removed anyway.
