Nice condition. No price? Looks like it's being sold at a dealer or on consignment?

$36,900 at his friend's (car dealer) lot.. Eric is um, let's say "meticulous".. and has written few articles in Excellence about his other cars.. so this one is typical Eric....

Nice. It does look exceptionally well looked after. What's the story with the houndstooth door panels?
Are they factory? Strangely, I don't dislike them - they fit the mood of the mexico blue exterior.

I've always loved that car! I remember pictures of it showcasing the door panels a couple of years ago. This is another time I wish I was still looking!

Is it Mexico or Riviera? Other than the side repeaters, houndstooth, and shift ****, it looks very similar to the car that Car and Driver road tested in the spring of 94. As a "former PCNA exec's car" could it be the same one?

Mexico Blue looks real close to Riviera Blue.

I already have the Rivi Blue cab. I haven't even started on it yet. Having a motivational issue. Once I get started it should come together faster. Are you going to post anymore pics of your car. That is one big project you have there.

FWIW, the CarFax results show seven owners and it failed, then passed emissions in 10/07. Then sold to its current owner in 11/07, from what I can tell.

Price seems high, but maybe the alleged history helps with the value.

Beautiful car. My favorite color. I like the houndstooth. If I could afford a second 993, this would be the one.

Well, if I'd waited nearly three years, I could've had the best 993 color available (since Signal Green was not a standard color).

Swap out the interior for all black interior RS carpet and door panels (or at least swap to black armrests and pockets), black GT3 seats w/ hounds tooth inlay, and all the RS suspension bits, and this would be the U.S. legal 993 at the top of my short list. So nice.....
