Cool Holy Grail for Sale

Afterall the recent discussion regarding the 968CS that was recently for sale on BAT, this shows up.

Only 14 Total Factory original production units known to exist (and at least 1 tribute/clone).

Sweet Lord! Time to start looking under the couch cushions for spare change.

BTW - I don't think the front chin spoiler is the OEM one...

Very nice, I wonder why he won't publish the VIN?

Dunno - I'm sure he would provide the VIN if asked.

Does anyone know the colors of all the 968TS cars? I know there is a black one, and I thought I remembered one in blood orange too.

Ha - ok - are you sitting down? 950K €



I would have been somewhere around $250-300K-ish. Hope he gets his price...

I saw this car for sale at the Techno Classica exhibition in Essen Germany last year, it was in good company with some other high end classic Porsche cars, and I asked the sales rep what price range they expected for the Turbo S, and the reply was a nice round figure.. € 1 million.. But even if I had the funds the car presents a big dilemma.. Its a dream car for sure and must be amazing to drive and push hard in the twisties, but at that price it won't get driven but just sit in a show room somewhere..

Wow, and the Turbo RS (1 of 4) went for $346k a number of years ago. I guess they are appreciating well.
The sad part is many of us had a chance to buy one of these a few years back for a great price. It needed a lot of work but it was the real deal with all the paperwork. Woulda Shoulda
