Those not fans of claws on one-of-a-kind cars may cringe!
(Maybe now we know why it had to go the Porsche Museum's renovation shop

)

Recent cross-post from Alf/ AlpinaDVL's "NEW PROJECT : ) 993 Winter Car ! (aka a REALLY slippery (icy) slope!)" thread...

hidfusion - Sorry for the delayed reply. We don't have any Cobalt Speedsters in the Registry, but I do know of one purchased by Barry Bonds and sent to Strosek for update with an aftermarket bodykit. That car has sold a few times within the past few years. PM me. I'd really like to get you in the Registry!

Curve Lover- sent you a PM. I still owe you those pictures from Stuttgart! Glad to see this thread is still alive.

Blake-- Welcome back. Thanks for the PM, I'll get back to you. Thread wouldn't have been possible without your recent photos from Germany.

Check out hidFusion's 964 forum thread, "Maybe a RARE 964 Porsche Speedster??" No photos of his Cobalt Speedster by page 2, but otherwise incredibly juicy.

^^^^^Except for what looks to be a nav. screen (does it really matter where you're going in a 911?) that is f%$^'n HOT!

Edit: Tip not to my taste either but oh well. How about a 9M motor and G50/32?

FYI, IIRC from the 911 & Porsche World article Bond's car was Maritime Blue

Spot on - thanks for the correction! I did a Google search and learned that Barry's Speedster was originally a WHITE 964 Speedster. I now know of ZERO Cobalt speedsters... I know I have seen one somewhere in print - thought it was that Strosek...

That Google search also yielded that Seinfeld owned a 964 Speedster in MARITIME BLUE. It sold this past January at a Barrett-Jackson auction. I have posted a pic below. I posted more pics on the 964 board thread started by hidfusion... Also of note - Porsche installed an RS ENGINE for Jerry...

Thanks,
-B

Hi,

the dark one in Germany near Munich went yesterday back from the garage to the owner. And the price is now no more 75tEUR, no more 65tEUR without hardtop, no, the price is now (i hope you are sitting) 42tEUR!!!!!! He lowered nearly 45%! Seems he needs money, quick.

Btw: is anybody informed, how much was Jerry Seinfelds 964 Speedster at the end of the auction?

Best wishes from Germany
Frank

Frank, thanks for posting the link to the green speedster ...

Any idea of the history of this car? Looks very similar to Butzi's ???

I enjoyed reading the free translation from German to English ... 3.8L RS engine ! ...

Here the advertising slogan "joy in the going" makes actually first correctly sense...
