Back up for sale is this gorgeous Horizon Blue 6-Speed. Great color combo. Hopefully Nicole doesnt see this, otherwise i'm in trouble.

I think it is 1 of 1 in that color combo iirc. Jeff can confirm. That is Nicoles Dream 968. Horizon Blue 6-Speed Cab W/Tan interior.

That is right Dino, the only Horizon blue cab made with the Black/cashmere interior. Kinda looks nice I think. For options it has the paint, partial leather, painted crest center caps, body side molding, full power (8 way) driver's seat, and hi-fi speakers. 1 of 34 Horizon blue cabs.

If it is a clean car and the mechanicals check out, someone should grab it. Seems like a reasonable price for the mileage and perceived condition.

The only thing I think I see is the driver's seat looks shot. Could be the crappy picture though...

I'd rather see Horizon with a black interior however!

If you follow the link in the add, you get to see bigger pictures. The seat doesnt look too bad besides a slightly worn drivers side bolster. The pictures in the ad of this car a few months back showed more detailed interior photos, looked good then.

Sorry Jim, they didn't make a single Horizon blue with black interior. 22 with marine blue (dark blue), 5 with light gray/classic gray, 4 with light gray/cobalt, 1 classic gray, 1 full cobalt (wild!, w matching cobalt top), and 1 black/cashmere.

Jim,
I don't know. Kim has the cobalt interior in his cobalt cab. Just imagine it in a Horzion blue cab, with a cobalt top. It would be wild that is for sure.

As for Greens, Porsche offered green in full leather only, paired with black trim (dash and door tops). for 92-94.5 we had sherwood green and for 94.5-95 we had Cedar green. Unfortunately, not a single 968 cab or coupe (of the coupes i have registered) were outfitted with it. I have seen a 928 GTS with the Cedar green interior. Wild.

ROFLMAO, The darker green interior works better then the light green in the 996. But i'm not too crazy about either....maybe if i owned a 356....

Somewhere I have pictures of a Blood red (orange) 996 with a green interior with various orange pieces in the interior (console, seatbelts a/c vents). Crazy.

Hmmm - cedar green/black deviating interior with black exterior - that's alright in my book!! Even better would be a cedar green plaid cloth interior with sport seats w/ deviating black trim bits (wheel, bezels & whatnot) and a black exterior! cool.gif

I believe the 996 in Dino's post is Nephrite green. The 993 is probably cedar. But I could be wrong.

I've seen the pics of the orange 996 with green/orange interior. While I wouldn't be embarrased to own it, I wouldn't pay money to acquire it....!

Looked all over but couldn't find pix of a 93 M030 car that I almost bought. It was in Chino Hills and it was amazon green with a magenta interior complete with sport seats. The combo was very wild and I know Flash would have spit up his coffee and his donuts if he had seen it!

I wonder what people are thinking when they order some of these color combos. Amazon Green is a decent color, and magenta interior looks great imho....combined....well...spit up coffeee material.

an amazaon/magenta M030 with sport seats is a unique car...as it is likely a 1 of 1 in the world. If it were concours Condition and i was looking for a concours show car...its something i would consider, other wise i would never purchase such a car.
