RS820317

Looks like a red coupe with cashmere interior, two options: LC partial leather and that all important 220 Limited slip differential.

This is a late "true" 94 so it has the 993 style comfort seats and lack of engine bay trim.

It was on eBay last month. Black, cashmere interior, 4 options:
LC Partial leather
139 heated drivers seat
418 body side molding
437 8way full power driver's seat

If you see it could you grab the production date on the driver's door jam VIN sticker for me? Either 6/92 or 7/92. Thx

Thank you. Would you mind describing what LC Partial leather actually includes? Does this mean seat faces are real leather and not pleather or does it include door panels or just what?

Thanks John

not a Turbo S for sure. This is a "regular" 968 coupe. Matter a fact, only one option, PJ partial leather in marble grey/black.7th to the last 1994. February 1994 build date.

Interior was pristine black with sport seats. Wish I took some screen captures of the engine, it was cosmetically correct and looked perfect.

We all know Pete. He runs RS Barn in PA. He is a long time 968er and he actually did own one of the super rare Turbo S 968s many years ago. Not sure the story behind this car but it looks nice.
FYI, you can identify a real 968 Turbo S by its unique VIN series. It has a "9" in it. So for a 1993 you would fine PS8900##, and for 1994 you would find RS8900##. I believe they only made 14 of them.

The Turbo S only had the NACA ducts - no intercooler hood duct. Only the Turbo RS had both hood features.

I know Pete very well, I sent the pictures and add to him just before I posted here. The guy in NY has pulled down the add. My Friend Emanuel knows the owner of this white car. A ton and I mean a ton of money was spent on this car with all original Parts but it is Not original as it was listed on Hemmings. Still a great car and I would buy it for the right price. Too bad it went to a dealer.

There are MANY special and extremely hard to find parts that go into a 968 Turbo S. Do you know what was used to build this one?
