That car has been the subject of several threads both here and elsewhere. It's been for sale for a long time. A couple of things bother me. No underhood sticker and euro lights on front fender.

Yes, it has been listed off and on. Wasn't the owner a friend of someone on this board?

Is this a ROW 993 imported to the US? E.g VIN: "WP0ZZZ..."??

EdiT: Nevermind, just saw it wasn't. Sweet car regardless..

Yup, car is pictured on the Road & Track cover with a eurospec front bumper. Now it seems to have acquired an NA front bumper with bumperettes. Add that to the absence of an options sticker under the hood and I would be worried about unreported front end accident damage. Hmm. It would be useful if the seller/broker would clarify those issues.

I believe the R&T cover was just for reference as that car had a blue interior and was a VERY early build or even pilot 993. I do wonder if the car for sale was the car that was featured in mid 94 (May? June?) Car & Driver road test. That car was equipped very much like the listed car. Maybe early accident damage and the only available parts were euro?

Hmm, interesting. Just strange to see a car with side marker lights and an NA front bumper.
