1993 Porsche 968 Cab For Sale With Interesting Color Scheme
July 18, 2010 by AaronHow can you tell if someone is car guy/gal? If you can have entire conversation about cars the the subject of color does not come up. How often have you heard this:
Me: Hey I got a new car, it is part spaceship and runs on the hopes and dreams of children.
Non car guy/gal: Really! What color is it?
What does it matter? As long as it is not some putrid shade of meh with blah interior it should be just fine. Well, unless…
From the seller -
“This 1993 Porsche 968 Cabriolet is finished in the rare Raspberry Metallic exterior paint scheme with linen colored leather interior. It is from sunny Naples, Florida where it lived a pampered life of luxury. It is equipped with the 17″ color keyed Porsche Cup alloy wheels and has the hard to find tiptronic automatic transmission, Porsche AM/FM in-dash cd player, full power driver’s seat with partial power passenger’s seat. The timing belt service was just completed at 41,000 miles. This is a beautiful color combination and a great driving Porsche convertible.”
I remember the 90′s with a great deal of fondness, I can even see how this color would have worked back in the day. To me, it looks less like Raspberry and more like lipstick that was so popular at the time. You know, the kind that could double as a road flare. Color is a highly subjective thing and it may look better in person. The only other Porsche I have seen in this hue was a 911 RS America, it did not work in that case either.
All that being said, the 968 is a wonderful car. This one looks to have lived a pampered life with regular maintenance. I am going to go out on a short limb and say this has probably been driven by the fairer gender so it should be ready to go for the new owner. A buy-it-now of $16.9k seems a little high but one could expect that from a dealer. I am sure they have plenty of wiggle room as this color combo is not for the faint of heart.
