Special Order/Possibly PTS (depending on your data source) Iris Blue, which was a 993 color. Purchased locally by a friend of the former owner of Princeton Porsche. I am the 2nd owner, and have owned it for about 2.5 years. Three great summers in this thing. \n\nCompletely turn-key. Needs a new driver. 100% factory stock. Well, 99.99%-- I did send the radio out for new buttons and to add a Bluetooth chip at Becker Autosound, which is the authority in Becker radio restorations in the US. They add the chip to the \"Aux\" mode. This mod is fully internal to the radio.\n\nCar had a new clutch, Rear Main Seal, and IMS Bearing retrofit ~3k miles ago. Fresh brake fluid, fresh coolant, fresh oil and filter change, freshly inspected trans and diff fluid (clean). 2500 miles on the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tires (tread depth measurements are in the photo gallery). All factory paint on all metallic body panels. Even has a 1.5 year old high cranking amp AGM battery that has been properly maintained.\n\nI would get in this car today, without even checking the tire pressures (did that last weekend), and drive circles around the country til the next oil service is due. \n\nIf you would like to see the car, I would be happy to arrange a viewing. If you need help shipping the car anywhere around the globe, I can help arrange it, or you can use BaT shipping.\n\nWith any questions, hit Contact Seller, or comment below.\n\nIn recapping...

I suggest you visit drycenation.com to find a local vendor in CA with the proper equipment. Generally you're looking at a $250-350/hr rate for labor and materials.
