Default A rare one on ebay...

Sure, it is a tip and has 150K miles but what a color!!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsc...fCarsQ5fTrucks

I'm not done with the coupe registry yet but we are looking to have only 5-6 968 coupes in this rare Violet Blue metallic color.

It seems like the owner is a 968 guy, talking about tensioner pads and metal HCV's. Do we know him?

I'll take a pass on the Barney car. There's a good reason they only made a few.

Give me a heads up when your Mint Green car gets listed on ebay. That's the one that gets my blood pumping!

I love the interior color. Not so much the purple.

Not very many 968 coupes for sale anywhere period? Anyone notice that? I have seen 8 or 9 wrecked 968 coupes for sale in the last few months on various sites, another dozen or so being parted at wrecking yards and peoples garages. Then about a dozen or so on Autotrader but clean ones are becoming scarce!

I know of a nice 95 M030 that just went up for sale. It was the second to the last M030 made for north America, Polar silver with midnight blue full cloth sport seats. Incredible car, 73K miles, $20K

Yup, I've noticed this trend lately too. I think the nicest coupe I've seen recently on the market is on the east coast, 40k miles, black coupe with tan interior and LSD, asking $17,500. It's popped up on ebay a few times recently but hasn't sold. Also on autotrader.

Pete has an aventurine green M030 which he is selling but he used to own this car as well. It has been in the hands of the current owner for a couple of years so if there were any issues I'm thinking they would have showed up by now. In any event, from a production perspective, it is a pretty cool car. The seats alone are amazing.

That adventurine green is my old M030. I owned that car for a yr and then sold it when I purchased the turbo.
