Interesting car... The laundry list for a resto would add up pretty quick but it would make a great DD !!

I cannot tell much by the pic because it is so small but color does look nice-

I contacted the seller for more pics, and he told me he just put in on ebay. Judging by the pics it looks nice, needs work!, and I do think it is Iris Blue. Cool! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1994-...QQcmdZViewItem

LMAO! Yeah me crasy, I just get excited when I see a sub-8k 968, especially when it's a special color. It is a pile, huh. My blue car was much like this one when I got it and now it's not half bad, soon it will be better. It's great for someone who wants to cheaply get into 968s and start off with something rarer than red, particularly for the project-oriented.

No worries. I got it all together! Soon it will be on the road again. Next weekend sounds good, and I hope you feel better.

Did you see the salvage title part? That itself would make me walk away. Looks like Cobalt blue from the pictures.

Arash, I agree with G96. Does not look too good. I bet there is a ton of stuff that is not disclosed / or yet to be uncovered (not sure if the pun is intended or not.....).

Raj, I checked the cab database
It is indeed Iris Blue and pretty well loaded. painted centers, 17" wheels, side moldings, 8 way driver's seat, hi-fi sound, and a CD changer. Only 21 Iris blue cabs made and only 9 in the combo of Iris/Dark Blue top/Marble grey midnight blue interior.

Cool! See, it may not be as sorted and pristine as some of the rides you guys have but it's rare and wants to be saved!

But man I have so many projects right now, one of my projects is to make a list of projects. Iris blue is one of my favorite colors, I like it more than even Horizon blue, but I'll have to pass. Hopefully I'll find one later than isn't so beat up.

There is no such thing as a cheap 944/968 cab, trust me!

I'm sure you're right, those tops must be hard to source parts for for anything short of a life savings.

Really I would prefer a coupe but a cab might be fun for a while.
