Not me selling it, and if I had it wouldn't be selling it:

Hate when they don't post a price. That would be a good reason I would not even entertain it.

For those without facebook, a few photos.

I read somewhere else, they are asking $450k, don't know if it is true though.

Car like that needs to be driven to purpose, but who takes that risk with a 1-of-4, half-million dollar specimen? Alternatives include leaving it in the garage, and selling it - neither of which would be an easy choice. I feel just terrible for the owner.

Anyone know what that instrument next to the temperature indicator on the dash might be?

Just an air vent for the driver.

If I had to guess, the red pull **** connects back to the battery cut off switch via a bowden cable of some sort. The red square is a button that has accidental press protection around it and is most likely tied to the fire suppression system.

The driver seems to have the same controls. Outside I assume is for first responders in the event the driver is incappacitated, inside is so he can do it him or her self.

Some CS cars had lap timers where the temp display was, perhaps the temp display is still there (or a clock), and this is a lap timer. it is a 4 digit RED segmented LED display.

Small things I notice, the door cards are both from 968s with the upper speaker in them(would have thought 944 cards). I never knew that the 968 had a panel with no front speaker cut out.
  • The arm rest is bi-sected to allow the rollcage to fit in!
  • It has the CS rear hatch release system - I assume latches are there for safety.
  • The guage cluster apears to be 944 turbo
  • You can see the KLR and DME mounted in the passenger foot well
  • Glove box has a mounting block for I assume the fire supression and other extra electronics.
  • Roll cage goes under dash.
  • The Upper Boltster rear seat latch points for the frankenstein bolts are still there.
  • Battery in the rear.
  • Extra ducts below fog lights
  • Has the carbon fiber strut brace
  • No A/C manual heat air controls
  • Not just covers, headlights completly removed.
  • Not clear to me how the extra fuel tank works.

Incredible machine. It has many similarities to my "1 of 10" speed yellow coupe

Note the black B-pillar, correct for a 93.

Note the Pirelli PZero Rosso tires. OE on that car.
