Unfortunately this 998 LS has been completely parted out, with only the shell left in a fairly average state. That's not to say it wouldnt be worth restoring however. This turned up on Ebay in 2013, and fortunately had the chassis number available so we could add it to our register. However, we were not able to trak the fate of the car. If anyone has any information on it, including its history or where it ended up, that would be appreciated.

The blue 998 LS was the most common colour produced for the 998 series. There are still a few blue cars out there, occasionally comin up, and seen as wuite desirable, given that they were the highest spec model prior to teh 1275 LS. These cars originally had a vinyl roof (although I'm not sure if that was just an option), mag wheels, and a bunch of other standard fearutes, as noted in the factory optinos section above.
