Been holding off posting until it’s in my garage but couldn’t resist adding to this thread:

1-owner (I’ll be #2) Forest green C2 Targa with special order black/silk grey full leather and LSD 😀. Couldn’t be more excited for this one. Picking her up on Friday and then the games begin!!

I’m not sure how accurate this link is as it doesn’t match up with the 1990 brochure which shows the colors available for all the Porsche models.

Another interesting observation I have made is that 928’s from the same era were ordered in a larger variety of colors, would be interesting to understand why that is.

He loved those colors like the very few rest of us. Very sad indeed.

Here’s Stone Grey, not all that common either from what I can tell.

You are correct about the statement above I put an eye on your chart on colors and years of the 964 and see Stone Grey Met was special order for just on year and world wide there were less than 2000 made total if I remember correct so there are only a few cars with this color to be had ... You have a great looking car

Here is a color I have never seen in a 964. Dunkleblau it comes across like dark blue ink. When I have it inside it looks more blue . It has a mahogany interior . 1990 C2

Default 1991 Horizon Blue


Has different hues on different light settings. So fortunate to have found her.

Default Silver Metallic


My wife says it looks like the three other GT Silver GT3’s I have owned but I guess it was a rare color in 1990.


But the interior is a little more interesting. Burgundy! Hiro

It was. Silver Metallic was a special order color back then. My Coupe is same color but velvet red interior, also to sample interior. What a beauty.

GT Silver is slightly darker.

Enjoy in good health and thanks for posting.
