Default Daphnie Green 930

I have always loved early 930 turbos in Green. Here are a few photos that I found of a euro 930 in Daphne Green.

Was that the color that daphnie was right before she hurled?

I like it. Is that a recent pic?

Its a picture I had on my computer from a car that was for sale in Switzerland awhile ago. It said Daphne Green with is the same code as Apple Green.

Of all the Greens I like Lime Green the best

Not my normal choice of colors, but so unique that I find it attractive. Puke-green, what a cool color!

Reminds me of a convertible Chevy Impala from the early 70's that I once had the opportunity to ride in whilst under the influence of the evil weed (college days, that stuff was ok back then). Going to a kegger and hit a deer. Bumped her off - she got up and ran away - and all we could say was "cool, man!" Just like this 930 color, it's "cool, man" (proper english today would substitute 'dude' for 'man').

That's an awesome color! Daphne green (Apple Green) was a standard color available for the ROW '78 911 SC and Turbo.

Exactly. Its so bad that it actually turns into being cool...

One of many colors I'd never own yet am glad exist. Living in Europe in the 70's I enjoyed the many wild 911 colors, which unfortunately are quite rare here in California 'cept for the GT3 & "R" groups.

I like the more citrus greens though: Lime, Apple, Fern, as well as the Viper and Emerald greens. I was very influenced as a kid by a '76 Lime Green 930 that was parked at Holberts Porsche Audi.

i saw this one in person too. perfect for a certain buyer, for example a clown in full outfit to get out of, who needs to move quickly between birthday parties, and only needs a small bag of balloons as props cause no trunk will fit. OK so a very specific buyer.
Wrap it in red 3M vinyl, to preserve (wink wink) color for the next buyer and he would have three offers in a week.

I love any Porsche in the jelly bean colors or old 70s hues like this. Im big on owning cars with different colors that arent the same ol same ol.

I say this as both my p-cars are guards red. Didnt plan it that way. Just happened. Sometimes you gotta buy the nicest one you find and give a little. Arrggh.
