Purple 968 bites the dust
I thought Jeff would kick out of this.
I posted a few pics of my car on a local car message forum and got an interesting reply from a member in the dismantling business. He picked up this car a few years ago and slowly parted it out. It what seems to be a very rare Canadian-spec purple 968 fitted with sport seats.

It was a pretty awesome car, only 72,000 kms 1 owner doctor car with sport seats. It was a early 1992 so it had some very cool options, very loaded car. I bought it when i was like 20 years old and it was a damaged project car, i was in over my head and ended up parting it out.
I still have a few pieces like a full set of mint floor mats, rear bumper with tails, the transmission and a few other things. These things are worth a fortune in parts, so i did pretty good parting it out.

Thanks Mark for making me cry, again!!!
Yes, I knew that car and remember it. I have a couple of photos.
It is 1 of 3 North American coupes produced in G4 Rubystone red (a pink), a very rare color. I remember when it was wrecked (968.net days) and i remember seeing the parts make their way to eBay so I knew it was no more.
It is NS820522 so it is actually a later 1992 (April 1992 build). It did have some good options. It was an original canadian package car so it had heated seats and headlight washers. They were also sport seats (as you can see). The car was a tiptronic and was also an option code 900 car, tourist delivery, so someone picked it up at the factory and drove it around.
A true 1 of 1.

19 NA 968 coupes had option code 900 euro delivery. I'm not sure about the cabs. I have to relook at my data.

A thought that has crossed the minds, the tub is straight, replaced the damaged susp parts & tranny (broken bell housing) the door, believe it or not opens & closes fine, so just need to find the 1/4.
Gincharl, here is B&B#2 with the BBS Sport Classics that you are thinking about, this is an 18" set, and my 924S with a set.
