Thanks, just sold a Patek I bought at the same time as the car. Thought I wasn't attached to the watch, but it hurt seeing it on another wrist. The car will never have the same fate.

At some point several years later it was advertised for sale by Ray Joseph in TX. At what point did you own it?
In '99 I eventually pulled the trigger on a one owner Polar Silver/Black that I still have. But, if that Signal Green ever surfaces again....hmmmmm damn!
I think I bought it around Feburary 2007 and had it for about a year and a half. I was a sweet car, the pics don't do it justice. Selling it was one of the biggest mistakes of my life, I will always regret that one, money makes you do some stupid things sometimes. The pic in this thread that I originally commented on, I took. Sold it to someone in Norway, so its there right now. The person that bought it from me is a real enthusiest(sp) so Im glad at least it went to a good home. He put it in a councours event and it won first place overall out of 150+ porsches from that area. Here are some of the pics from that event.

Maybe we should post a poll. It would be easier to see just who has what. Mines polar silver/classic gray.
I've only seen 2 other 3.6s in person, they were at Porsche Parades. One was red/black, the other was dark gray, but not slate gray. I dont know the name of the color. It was non metallic, like a dark battle ship gray with black interior.

I never liked maritime blue on any other porsche, but i think it was made for the 3.6 turbo and its fantastic.

Default how about speed yellow?

just bought this beauty!

I was the original owner in 1993 when I picked this beauty up in Stuttgart. Speed yellow, sunroof delete, sport seats. Drove it for 5000 miles before I sold her. She only had 2 owners before I got her back. Was browsing Craigslist a couple weeks ago and as soon as I saw the sunroof delete I knew it was my old car!

very well taken care of, only 30k miles and all services done according to the book.

Back in 94 I added RSR short shift and Euro springs. Great feeling to be back in a turbo

Wow, what a beauty will you leave it untouched? Do you have any idea of where to find a RSR short shift?

I will keep it in it's original shape, too rare to play with it. I will redo the Speedlines, brake calipers and that's it.

RSR shifter came from one of my '93 964 RSR's we raced in IMSA back then

I think this is the only 3.6T Us spec that I have seen with a sunroof delete, speed yellow is not to common either. Enjoy it again

+1 Just right as is... market value curious, would you be willing to say how much it was to buy it back?

Well here is my speed yellow 93 964 3.6T hiding out in Coin, in the south of Spain. It's the only 3.6T I've seen out here although there are a couple of 3.3T's to be seen.

I love the colour but know it it not for all tastes. Mind you, 3.6T's are so difficult to get hold of that one doesn't often have much choice of colour! My previous was a 3.3T that was midnight blue and I always thought that colour looked very good.

The cars in this thread are so stunning that colour to me is just the icing on the cake. I can't imagine too many people who love sports cars are going to say - "love it, pity about the colour". More likely it will be "Me want" irrespective of the colour.
