Default Riviera Blue 1 of 1 coupe...

Look what is on Autotrader and the seller is correct, this is the only North American coupe in S8 Riviera blue (they produced 5 cabs). However, it is a tiptronic.

Pretty cool car. I noticed it on there a few days ago. Hard to believe only one Riviera blue coupe was ever sold in North America. If only I had room in the garage for a daily driver, I'd have a rare set of twins.

Wow, that's a sweet car, but I'm not into the blue on the interior....or the tip.

Dino,
Maritime Blue:
Only 1 cab
I'm up to 8 coupes but I'm not done yet so we may see another or two.

hmmm...another car to add to my list of possible's for my next 968....Maritime Blue Cab. Would it be too much to ask for you to list all the martime blue cars (MY & option codes)?

To save Jeff some time here is a listed he posted for me on another thread

1) 6 spd, cobalt blue cloth full porsche script interior, hi-fi sound w/Amp, 2nd coupe produced for NA market.
2) Tiptronic, black cloth partial porsche script interior, hi-fi sound w/Amp and CD, headlight washers, 14th coupe produced for NA market
3) 6 spd, light gray/classic gray partial leather interior, no other options
4) 6 spd, light gray/classic gray cloth partial porsche script interior, hi-fi sound w/Amp and CD changer, full power driver's seat, painted crest center caps and rear emblem delete, (My car)
5) 6 spd, cashmere/black partial leather interior, hi-fi sound w/Amp and CD, headlight washers, full power driver's seat, and painted crest center caps

I will do that once I'm done (like i did with the speed yellow cars)

Since I know the one cab:

92 Maritime blue with V4 cobalt top and BP light gray/cobalt interior with partial cloth "porsche" script seats, well optioned with headlight washers, sport seats, 17" wheels, and factory CD with hi-fi sound and amps. Sound too good to be true? Well, it is. The car is a tiptronic!!! BTW, it was listed on Autotrader in Feb of 2005 with 136K miles on it, in New York! I haven't seen it since.

Tempting, very tempting....
I would switch it to 6 speed though. Darn, how many 968's can a person own!

If that martime Cab shows up again, i may just pick it up. I don't care for the mileage. Its being driven. some TLC & a 6-Speed/LSD swap would make it one awesome cab. The colors and options sound really really nice......sans the tiptronic.

This one was for sale a while back but can't remember witch year it is, as you will notice I think the guy install doors side mouldings (I never seen moulding on any 968 ????) & euro white side marker but it is a US coupe & the color is oe.

Daayyymmn!

Yet one more Porsche I NEED to buy. Then I'd have a matching set.

So, they're asking $18k for this baby. What do you guys think it should sell for?

Ernie, the side molding were an option. The side lamp wasn't a US piece.
