Default Arena red C4S on Ebay

Anybody know this car? It hasn't seen much use over the past seven years (about 8k miles)....

Don't know the car. I like the color combo - works well with the arena red.

The interior does not look factory. I do not remember seeing this combination as a factory option.

It is. Check out the close up photo of the CoA.

The sport seats may have been added later since they are not mentioned.

I'm still not convinced this is what the CoA is describing here. My '95 Coupe had Cashmere/black partial leather, but the black parts were the dash, door caps, rear side panel arches, rear shelf and headliner ... this looks like somebody bought black sport seats and decided to dye the door center panels and rear seats to match to try and bring it all together ....

I agree with JPP. That is not oem. Somebody changed the interior. My car has Cashmere and black and it looks nothing like that car.

According to the dealer, the previous owner added the blsack sport seats and changed the wheels. The original seats as well as the turbo twists will be included in the sale.

Did the OEM black/cashmere combo have cashmere seats and did it include the black panels in the door panels?

No. All seats, front and rear, and door panels should be all Cashmere with no black at all in my experience.

Any thoughts on a max bid for this car given the description, history and "frankenstein" interior?

Agreed, maybe less.. A new stock engine lid/ spoiler and recovering the seats and door panel inserts won't be cheap ...
