Seeking Rare Color 964 for trade....
 

I am looking to see if there are any c2/c4 coupe owners with the following colors?
· Speed Yellow
· Mint Green
· Signal Green
· Maritime Blue
· Riviera Blue
· Rubystone Red
I am very interested in adding one to my garage. I currently drive a 1991 C4 in Polar silver with rare Matador Red interior, and would be interested in a trade of some sort. I also have a 1988 BMW M5 and a 1991 E34 M5 that I would be willing to add into a trade for the right car. Just looking to discuss possibilities with any interested parties.
Thanks for your time, I look forward to speaking with you!

Gorgeous

Love the color combo.

Love your choice in cars! Good luck.

Mr. Wolfe

Thanks for the kind words guys!

I agree with you u7t2p7, it would be cheaper to wrap, but I can't imagine any of those colors with my interior, unless I want to have a superhero themed car!

Best luck finding one in the color you want. I have looked at countless 964's. In the past 15+ years I have seen one or two in each of those colors and some of them were either RS or ROW cup cars. Although the ROW market sees far more of these than in the US for some reason they weren't ordered often.

They weren't ordered here because the system is different here; dealers here order cars then sell them, no one wants to get stuck with an "oddball" color. So everything here is either black, red, white or silver.

Meanwhile ROW cars are ordered by the buyer then delivered, you get to choose from a wider array of colors and options. Frankly, if I had to have a silver car I would MUCH prefer one with a red interior than black or(GAG) camel or linen.

Depending on your state's smog laws, you can try importing from Japan. The EU cars are much rougher mostly, than what we are used to here but the selection is phenomenal, prices are too.

No matter what, to get a unique color you are going to pay a major premium. And your car is really nice. Speedlines AND Cup 1s?

Thanks for the input guys. I know I probably will have to sell everything and just wait for the right opportunity. I can't help but think that someone has one of these squirreled away that they don't drive because they look silly in it haha

Thanks, the car is currently on 18" Rufs and the Cups are ion the shelf!

I agree the dealers didn't want to get stuck with an oddball color although they were limited to the standard non metallic colors only and red black and white are always safe. I knew of a signal green that sat at the dealer forever because they weren't popular colors here at the time. Although the special order colors weren't common because either Porsche or PCNA required a contract and deposit from a customer and would build the car specifically for the customer. So that is why you see very few metallic colors in general. The other problem that the small square swatches on paper didn't give buyers a feel of the color so most people went with the colors that looked best on paper. Usually silver, midnight blue, amazon green were ordered as they stood out best in the brochure. Not having one on the floor to see in person hurt those colors. After the 964 they started charging for special order colors allowing the dealers to order them without a customer.

How appropriate, it was Rare Shades East this past weekend! #rareshades #000magazine

Good luck Chris. At least you get to drive a stunning 964 while you sort through your collection plan.
I would have bought your car in a heartbeat if it was on the market while I was looking. LOVE your interior! Grass is always greener...
Love seeing pics of your car, more with the Rufs please.

Great posts MrBH & Cobalt. I remember those small brochure color swatches!

BTW, a friend just sold a Japanese Maritime Blue C2, DARK blue interior (mint condition, top 1% car) for serious, serious money.
Funny thing was, it was parked right next to a polar silver 964 RS, I'd take the RS all day, knowing what's under the skin...

In a rs, suddenly, silver is the new mint green!

It was always crazy to me that colors such as Polar Silver were "special order" and the crazy colors are standard.

I purchased this car particularly for the color combo. I got impatient waiting for a bright color and decided to do a bright interior instead!

Just wanted to keep my eyes open! There has to be some floating around in the states!

I am going to Autoflex my car in the spring. Peelable paint so you can keep your original paint and change colors every few years if you get bored.

And here is the purple I think I am going to do:

Good luck with whatever you decide! I too have a silver 964 (WB).

Mr. Wolfe

That Autoflex looks interesting. I’m also debating a temporary color change on my Polar and that may be the way to go.
