Has this already been posted? They boast of "heavily optioned" or whatever but was expecting PCCB. The red calipers are kind of in no man's land with this color scheme.

I wonder if the original owner just had ton of money and thought this was funny? i couldn't even dream up something like this!

Yea, that one is going to take a very special buyer. Maybe the original owner was a Packers fan? Who knows...

I think you may be right!

I personally love how ridiculous the yellow/Nephrite green interior combo is. I'd have to get the brake calipers redone if it were my car though.

Also that dealership has a lot of very nice, hilariously overpriced cars.

Seems as if this Green Bay car pops up for sale every 6 months for the past 2 years.

It's been for sale for a loooong time. I think the color combo has less to do with it than the fact they're trying to get almost $100k for it.

Irony: Ideal car for someone who is colorblind.

A significant portion of the male population is colorblind.

A colorblind person would be unlikely to pay premium for odd colors.



years ago, I bought a Speed Yellow Turbo with beige interior at a huge discount because of the awful color combo. Swapped in a black leather interior at a net cost of around $1.8K, after selling off the old interior. Think out of the box!

I kind of like how the stitching is yellow. It would be interesting to see what it looks like with just switching the carpet from green to black. At that price we may never know though.......

I'm a bit colorblind and don't think I'd be digging the Yellow / Green combo. Even with a house that looks like this. I've since moved across the Bay and have a gray house to match the cars...

I'm not going to say it was common but there are definitely multiple Yellow on Green Porsches running about from that era. It's not a turbo but I saw this pop up a while back and it continues to be one of my favorite Porsche colors. I wonder how a C4S with front drive delete and possibly a limited slip would drive. I also wonder what they're actually asking for it.

It's not 65k worth of sharp though. Oof.
