Default Look at the 993 Turbo I saw at TruSpeed

I went by TruSpeed in Costa Mesa to check out a 993 Cab for a Rennlist brother and found this beauty. It is a 1997 993 Turbo in color to sample tangerine orange with black interior and every option that could be had. It also has 9200 miles on it. The salesman says it is not for sale.... but for the right price the owner could be convinced!

I remember another Turbo someone posted from there that was not for sale. Any more interior shots?

WOW! 9200 miles and that colour =

I remember a post that one of the owners of Truespeed had an orange (not sure what orange) 993C4S. Sure seems to be some pretty rare/speial cars in that area of the world.

I love that color but what I don't get are these cars that people don't ever drive! What's the point? If speculating/holding on to the car as an (possibly) appreciating investment why not have it off the street and stored properly? Weird.

That's awesome! I love the color orange. I have always wondered if they did an Orange 993 Turbo. Now I know. Thanks for posting, Chuck!

Love that color!

Best 911 color ever. Would look better on a plane NB with basic black interior (IMO).

Too much for the pallete on an optioned out 993TT.

Wouldn't kick it out of my garage though

I like the odd colors more and more. Why bother trying to blend in when a 993 never will?

So could we call this Arrest Me Orange?

I like the odd colors more and more...
I was at the car show today, spotted a metallic fuschia Ford Fiesta, and was asking myself: "Why do I like this colour?".

I saw this car when I was down there last weekend for the all Porsche swap meet. The paint is unbelievably beautiful, almost translucent. I've thought of it every day since. The friend I was with called me yesterday and said he'd been thinking about that car all day .....
