Thanks for the kind words
Thank you to everyone for your positive feedback. I searched long and hard for this one. I bought this car from Tim Holt at Holt Motorsports, the car was never listed for sale and was in his personal collection. Tim bought a fully prepped track car from me (for those of you that don't know Tim is quite a skilled racer even doing a couple Rolex 24's). Anyway, after several months and promise that he get right of first refusal if I ever sell he agreed to sell me the car. I have known Tim for years and I have bought some cars from Tim as well as sold him a few. You can see pictures of the stock car on holtmotorsports.com
She sits under a cover in a climate controlled garage. I do love driving her to cars and coffees and other local shows. I am the second registered owner and she just turned 18k last month.
DALLWA.....The most common question is "did you have that custom painted?"
My new quest......black/black, midnight blue, or an interesting color unmolested 1994 3.6 Turbo....had one once, sold it to a good friend and one of his friends smacked it up. Ugh

Very nice! It is weird that 64-73 911's in North America with sunroofs command a HUGE premium in price .. sometimes doubling the base value of the car if it's an 'S' .. and sunroof delete is on the top of many serious drivers lists for the later models and just as rare.
So, that makes 3 Riv Blue coupes that I know about here in the U.S. on RL. Where's the other 14 North American imported RB coupes then ..? Come out, come out wherever you are ... heh ...

Gorgeous. And even better given the story. I love it when these cars trade hands across enthusiast friends and Porsche purists. 18k miles. Geez, you are lucky to have that car in your possession. I sometimes toy with the idea of an RS kit on my TB, and your pics help show me what that could look like with Speedlines, etc (at least in the front). Thanks!

Thanks again for the comments.
Magdaddy the hardbacks are not painted they are that metallic charcoal which looks good with the grey leather.
Speaking of leather, funny considering some of the comments....I like grey leather and black and red and blue. I think the grey compliments this particular color.
