Someone really, really, really liked Riviera blue (check out the interior pics).

I don't know about you guys, but that is just plain awesome. The fact that with enough money Porsche will do just about anything to personalize your car is very cool.

I think it is a steal at that price, didn't Buxton have that for sale at a lot more money months ago? $40K buy it now, low miles, one of a kind, I'd swap right now if I had the extra cash around.

Ghastly!!!

Man, in Washington DC that car would be laughed at. In LA or Miami, it might be worshipped!

UGGHHH!, could someone at least have put a Warning Disclaimer up before my having to view it. Papa Smurf??? Looks like a several Smurfs were skinned to upholster it. And why is the top not Riv Blue? Oh sorry, that would be TOO much. Wouldn't want to be gaudy, now would we?

I'm feeling ill.

Change the steering wheel to gray and the gauge faces to silver, and add some silver bezel rings and the interior will start looking a whole lot more normal.

See the interior of this car:

I agree that, right now, it has a 1980's "Miami Vice" kind of look to it.

Interesting concept, but I just can't look at it. $40k is a good price - but not worth the cost of replacing the entire interior!

I hope that was a chic's car.

I think that car was on display at Tweeks Funfest last month in Illinois (or one that looked nearly identical). How anyone could find that interior attractive is beyond me. To each their own, I guess.

$2,583 just for the color matched leather cabriolet cover... Obviously someone had money to burn.

While it may be collectible, I find it Gawdawful to look at.

I like the exterior color, but that interior is hideous!

This MUST be a joke, right?? Nobody does this to an innocent vehicle..... :-0

A nice BLACK Interior to replace all that rubbish would set you back 5000-8000?? Remove that from the potential price and I bet that's below the 40k. No bidders yet from what I can see :-)
