Default Maritime Blue

The interior is black.
Wish I had some sort of understanding on managing these attachments but it is a bit like my driving-confused.

Since I got mine (a whole 10 days ago) I've been looking on this forum for others in baltic blue - none to be found.

Now after this thread, there are 3 of us who replied alone, we'll soon be as common as guards red!

Does anyone know if there is a signal yellow 964 in existance? Factory or a respray is ok. I LOVE that color. If so a photo would be great.
Thanks

Metallic Oak Green is now one of my favorite colors. Awesome. If you decide to sell your car please PM me immediately. I'm serious.

I do not know what you mean with "signal yellow" but my car is Ferrari Yellow and I have seen some in Speed Yellow and Light Yellow.

I believe "Signal Yellow" is a Ford colour. Ferrari Yellow and Fly Yellow are both colours used by Porsche at the factory as well as the more common Speed Yellow. My own car (see page 3 of this thread) has been repainted Trophy Yellow which is an MG colour and very similar to Ferrari Yellow. I believe Signal Yellow is a more vibrant, even fluorescent, yellow.

Regards

Dave

Turn Signal yellow is the color that Porsche used in the early seventies on 911s, RS and RSRs. Its a factory color, option list. My dad had a 912 that color and my VW Carrera RS is turn siganl yellow. Same paint ideas as signal orange, viper green, signal green. Signal yellow is kinda like a street sign color. Goto www.paradisemotorsportsaz.com/projects/bug.aspx to see the color on my bug. Its my website. I thought it might be a good color to do a 964/911 RSR look. There are toooooo many colors that look great with the 964s it is hard for me to decide. Maybe I need to do one in every color.

That car was sold! To me! If I decide to sell it I will let you know. The car looks so much better in person. Its lightning in a bottle.

Yes, there is at least one. A certain Ohio individual has special ordered several Porsches in that color, and had an early ('89 or '90) 964 C4 in that color. When he was moving up to a TT many years ago, I considered buying the C4, but after a quick test drive I decided it was too loud (visually) for me.

Signal yellow makes speed yellow look almost subdued and pale in comparison.

Thanks for the Signal yellow photos. It is amazing what that color does to other yellows. Yes it is very loud visually.
