Default how rare is chiffon white?

Looking for a chiffon white sc for nostalgia sakes, because of my former chiffon white sc. How common is this color?

There's one on Craigslist la at the moment. Posting id 4815755091. I have no affiliation with the car by the way.

Rare, b/c I think it was only offered in 1981, 82 and 83. I like it.

It's somewhat unusual but not crazy rare. I would say it was a mid-pack popular choice in the years it was offered ~(81-84). I have one, beautiful color and it gets lots of compliments! Not for sale though...

Good luck in your search!

I had a 79 930 in chiffon white, at the time color did not do much for me but when I look at pics today I don't under why.

I looked at an 84 coupe in Chiffon. It wasn't for sale, I had inquired. In person the color looked great on a coupe, very clean and creamy, almost like vanilla ice cream. Any 911 in a color other than red or Grand Prix white is a treat to see... Well, maybe not any color.

I hear you, I sold my sc for 14,500. There is no way I can even buy a rough running one for that price anymore.
