Default The Ultimate 964 Exterior Color, Leather, Upholstery and Carpet Guide- Check this out

I attended the LA Lit meet this weekend as I do every year, usually I find some fun items, but I found something I was REALLY excited about and figured my pals on Rennlist would go nuts over it as well....

It's a MY1991 Porsche travel case packed with actual samples of every exterior color, leather, upholstery and carpet. These are ACTUAL pieces of paint, carpet, leather, etc! The case had never been used and all the rare an unusual colors and fabrics are there! I hope you all enjoy!

Too funny! Sadly I think some people shopping for 964's think the factory is still open. Usually their post is something like this:

WTB 1992-1994 C2 Manual Coupe Only
Will only consider cars with 100% original paint, full documentation and NO White, Red, Black or Silver. Preference for Maritime Blue, Rubystone and Mint Green.

Usually they also say something funny like, I am a SERIOUS buyer and have been looking for 2 years but shockingly haven't been able to find a car... They also want to pay 2012 pricing!

Attention 964 Buyers... The 964 factory officially closed in 1994....

Really cool. I've never seen many of those interior trims - but I'd love to!

I would imagine PTS colors won’t be on there. I don’t see Stone Grey on there either, I know it was only painted for years 89/90 so perhaps this sample book is for the later years? Could be that I missed it too

Paint to Sample wouldn’t be included, but you somewhere in my stash I have the similar sample book for 1974 that does have emerald green metallic in it.

Amazing color!
