Default Anyone know who owns former Otis Chandler 993 Turbo S?

My friend owned this car for a brief time and asked me to help him find out who the current owner is to see if he/she might have interest in selling it back to him. Has anyone seen this car recently or possibly know who the current owner is?

I won't go as far as saying it's ricey, but I prefer the livery of Seinfeld's Riv Blue stocker.

I will... that just looks horrid. I can't believe someone did that to a Turbo S

In no way does the defiling of this car with that paint job "pay homage" to the 917/30.

But, hey just my 2c..., "opinions are like @ssholes....everyone gets one!"

With that silly ride height and even sillier color combo you could do the Paris to Dakar.......

More money than brains/taste/style.

Funny thing is that my client is Sunoco. I'll have to print these out.

I'd rather see a Martini version. That being said, I don't love this thing, but I don't hate it as much as everyone else. Could definitely lose the hood stripes.

Lower it and get rid of the stripes and that would be awesome. Kind of like telling someone that if they changed their hair, lost 100lbs, got a nose job, and grew six inches they'd look great!

That car was in the background of a "Chasing Classic Cars" episode on Discovery. The episode was "Herb's Ferrari" I believe. It may have been while they were attending the auction in the listing above.

I don't mind the looks so much since it does have some meaning.
