Or maybe it was a special order for the love of his life, and then she dumped him for a dude in a Caddy with gold plated everything??

I dunno. Some guy has bid north of 90k on E Bay for a C2S because it is rare pastel blue.
There are lots of women with lots of money and this just might appeal to them.

And I qoute (from the ad): "With a Staggering $138,000 window sticker this Porsche has it all including a factory $5,000 Paint option." Travesty.

Uh, right. Perhaps we should suggest the seller approach the makers of Pepto-Bismal, to buy it and sponser it as a corporate race car.

Or was he moving gold into Europe unoticed ?

I was thinking that at the asking price, a person who is handy with a paint gun could do pretty well picking this car up.

Then you posted the link to the interior. Ugh.

Interesting to see it in Rogers, AR.

I think the car is cool looking, particularly if you have a hot blonde wife or girlfriend.

Was about to make an offer but then I found out it was used at the Porsche Sport Diving School so that put the the kibosh on it.
