Cool Who wants a Barbie 968?

http://www.tradecarview.com/used_car...e/968/9677506/

Pink is hard to sell I think, last time I saw another one FOB just around 7K only. I don't mind DD a pinky but my wife for sure will kill me.

I do, I do!!!

Only 3 rubystone coupes in the US and 1 cab. I've been on the hunt for 1 of the coupes for a few years now but that itch has kinda been scratched now with the SY coupe.

Looks better with the 17" Cup1s.

My daughter says she'll take it, but the black interior would have to go.

Jeff,

Hey, you gotta do this - your 968 friends will provide moral (not financial) support - lol!

I will buy the one in the US if it comes up for sale at a good price. I have spoken the owner and we couldn't get together on the price. He thinks the color should command a BIG premium. I do like it but I don't think it should command a premium.

Mel, the japanese car has a tip, a bigger problem then the interior in my eyes.

I wish it was in the states. I'd buy it for my finacee. She loves pink of course and doesn't know how to drive a manual.

Does anyone else think the front bumper color doesn't match the rest of the front end? Looks like it's been resprayed...

That's the color of Porsche coolant. Humorously, BMW uses coolant with the same properties but is colored blue. The blue is easier to see in a coolant bottle that has any age to it.

Ooooh! I LOVE it!

If that car was in the US and not a tip, I'd be all over it.

My GF does NOT love it.

She says I can buy it, and she'll take my Amazon Green 6-speed.

"I don't want to drive a PINK automatic. No fun!"

I'm not sure if this is a good thing or bad. I know it means she wants to drive MY car more.

That's bad, right?

Aaron,

Good eye on the front bumper - I think you are right.

If you read the buyers' feedbacks left to that auto company, people are not happy with the 968 stocks.

I'd prefer the Cassis Red more (my fav Porsche color is Arena Red)!

I agree Michelle, so would I if it wasn't a tip (and LHD!).

As a Rubystone 964RS is highly admired over here in the UK, then a 968 in Rubystone would be just brilliant. Now where can I find that Rubystone Sport or CS?
