$25k for an incredibly rare color combo and just 20,000km on the clock? That's a surprisingly good deal. Wouldn't want to try to import it though.

It pains me to see wheel weight adhesive on the outside of those 17" Cup 1's.

If it was a coupe then I'd be having very bad thoughts right about now...

There are a couple interesting things I noticed about the last picture.

First, does anyone know what the little piece below the rear speaker grill is?

It looks like the car does not have the parcel shelf/cubbies in the back, the panels that separate the trunk from the cab are folded down, and is that a rear seatbelt hanging down?

As I mentioned in the original post, those are rear seats in back there. Non US cabs (including canada) had rear seats. I would imagine that piece has something to do with the rear seat.

You wouldn't be able to sneak up on anyone with that color! Love the interior too.

The checkered / plaid seats are the same as the ones in a 1988 944 Celebration, which came in several color combinations.

Cheers,

Default Signal Green

I had a 1994 964 Speedster in Signal Green!

The PO installed matching Signal Green lowering springs.

Gave "Kermit" the right stance; and enjoyed the extra green peeking out the wheel wells.

Sold it to a German collector.

Thus, now it's sadly gone "forever!!!"
