It's too bad not everyone takes good care of their stuff like this person.

Magenta cloth Porsche script seats, I've seen a slate grey car with the same interior, it looks much better in person than you'd think. In this market it's a tall price for a funky-to-most color combination and 16" Cup 1 wheels.

No way, that's NOT magenta. My dad had a black 964 with magenta interior and it was SEXY. This interior is... well sexy in the wrong whey.

That car is one of two in that combo, both slate gray with magenta top and magenta partial Porsche cloth interior. Both are early cars, one is #23 and the other #137 (of 2,008). Both are base cars, one has a full power drivers seat. Pretty cool and rare.

So both of those have recessed badge hoods and all the early goodies? Nice.

I do like the color, especially the top color against the gray - I'm a big fan of Slate Gray Metallic. The top color could almost be described as "Cabernet" color so it fits in with it's wine country roots.

The price is not too bad considering the only other local 968 for sale the owner wants $40K, . . . that's four "ooohh" thousand.

So what kind of 968 lists for $40K in 2009? One of the 10 original factory Turbo S coupes?

Jeff, are you quite sure the interior color is named magenta? That doesn't even look like my magenta crayon. Our 964 looked completely different.................

Arash,
I'm sure. It is called magenta. BTW, I heard from the seller and that is the earlier of the two cars, #23 in the production line. Could be produced the same day as mine??? (#9). I'll post a photo of another mageneta.

It's all in the photo. Here's a link to a photo of a very rare multi-color fabric interior in magenta.
