A good friend of mine owns a sun yellow 914 and its definitely a different color. Per the excellence magazine article, the girl that special ordered the sun yellow 968 ordered it to match her 1987 911. Unless her 911 was a color to sample it doesn't make any sense and probably never will. it's definitely not a standard 911 color.

We had coupe PS820250 - Venetian Blue. It was once across the highway from my house. I've driven the car. Sold and shipped somewhere north of here - NJ, IIRC
We have coupe RS820692 - Amethyst Metallic. We call it Barney. I originally found the car on Kiawah Island and it was recently traded at a friend's dealership and resold before I got the word that it was available. It is in the hands of an enthusiast. I've talked to the original owner
We have cab RS840370 - color unknown to Jeff but it's "purple". Vanity license plate says DINO. I talked to the owner one day (window to window) while sitting in traffic but he has never taken me up on the invitation to stop by and chat 968s. I doubt he's an enthusiast, but I do need to get a pic of the color code plate for Jeff

Look what I found today.
So I'm traveling for the holidays and stop off to visit Ota at a shop in Little Rock.
Low and behold I pull into the drive and spy not one, but two 968s. One a coupe, the other a cab. The coupe is a color I've not seen before.
According to Sir Jeff it's a very rare code 55 1992 special Paint zermatt silver metallic. 1 of 2! Oh, and it's a 6 speed.
Merry Christmas !

Drifting
I test drove the Venetian blue over black coupe when it was for sale here in MA about 5 years ago. It was in need of a lot of cosmetics as panels were misaligned and the colors didn't match. I recall some rust as well. It drove well, but it didn't get the OCD treatment from previous owners.

I chased down a new sighting yesterday - a black cab. It was the second time I had seen the car and turns out the owner is very nice and purchased the car from the son of a well known media mogul.
It's amazing how many 968s are located in the Charleston SC area.
