Default Another show car like Jeff's? Amaranth Violet?

I have not seen this color, does not mean I know anything










1994 Porsche 968 designed, documented and built as EXHIBIT SHOW CAR with it's last display being at NYC AUTO SHOW.
Rare factory original; Porsche purist car; no modifications. TIPtronic (dual-shifter transmission) = 2 modes: both clutchless shift AND automatic modes).
This one is ONE-OF-A-KIND because of both the rare color (Amaranth Violet) and rare options including ROOTWOOD dash trim (1 of only 2 968s made with this trim), painted crests on all 4 wheels;
Last of the HAND-BUILT Porsches in Stuttgart, Germany.
Fastest 4-cyl. production engine from 1990's; 240 hp.
Great solid driver although I use it more as a show car (many trophies and awards); Car photographed and used for cover of 9 MAGAZINE.
85,000 original miles with required 90K service completed. NO accidents, Meticulously maintained by Porsche mechanics. Garaged; paint / mechanicals are great.
Fully Loaded
ABS, Alloy wheels, Air, Alarm, All Power, am/fm/CD, Auto, Cruise, Leather Int, PB, PDL, PS, PW, Air Bags, Original Boot Cover.
You won't find another one like it.
Asking $21,000 or make a reasonable offer. SERIOUS INQUIRIES Only.

Thank you

They produced 3 coupes and 5 cabs in T3 Amaranth Violet. It is a great color. I almost purchased a 6 speed cab in that color years ago. It was ordered from the factory by Publisher David E Davis of Automobile magazine. Great color.
