    I would like to see the rear seat bottoms. I suspect, from the evidence of the door sill/rocker area, that there potentially are some rust issues with the parcel shelf and the rear seats. It is a very appealing car though, Aubergene is cool when done right. I would love to have it in my shop over the winter... but not for $30K+.

    he actually says it's Royal Purple (i presume he got the code slightly wrong, 431 vs 341) which is absolutely stunning !!

    That's not factory a/c. Also, those are 69-71 sports seats. What early 911 fanatic wouldn't want to restore this car, assuming that time and money are available for it?

    Whoever buys it - let me know if you want to swap those seats for a complete set of factory 73 sport seats.

    Reference:

    VIN 9113300522

    A standout color!

    The rust beneath the rear window is severe on the driver side and somewhat less on the passenger side.
