Default What are the 968 rare colors?

I have black...that's not terribly rare. There have to be some custom order cars out there with special paint. Know of any?

I would have to say the mint green one that was for sale a few months ago is pretty rare. Also speed yellow. I hope the owners don't mind me posting pics.

Raj, I knew you had the yellow car. I hated to see that you sold it. Do you know the current owner? That was by far one of the best 968's I have seen, absolutey beautiful!

Yes, LeonardZ has it now. He also frequents here. He has taken it to the next level. The car looks better than ever. Also the fact that it went to someone like Leonard makes it easier to digest selling it.
I dearly miss it and my daughter still thinks I painted it Riviera blue and wants us to paint it back to yellow. I will have to eventaully buy a SY Porsche at some point, maybe her 1st car .
Regards.

Jeff Coe's cab listing has it broken down by color, but just like the coupe registry list it is only open to people who have registered or cars that have had information collected from want ads, etc. Raj's cab is the only Riviera Blue known to us in the US, there are at least 5 speed yellow cabs around, wimbledon green is pretty rare, the various pink/magenta models are about once in a while, and I'm sure there are other 'paint to sample' cars running around.

I forgot about this 968 cab that was at Eurofest here in South Carolina this past fall. I am not sure of the name, but it was almost a rust color.

Coral red, we had that at Hersey a couple of years ago. Good catch.

My Horizon Blue cab is fairly rare, I have been told there were only 34 or 35 made in that color. I have only seen one other example in person (Larry's, from Alabama). I'd kill to find a Horizon Blue coupe.

Credit to Rana Ward (Bruce's lovely wife) for the first photo and Dave Williams for the second one, it was at PCA-Palooza in Eureka Springs last Nov.

When I was in high school I worked at a Porsche shop that sold cars, and they had a horizon blue 968 just like the one posted by sh944, same interior also.

There's a green one in the autotrader right now. Looks decent... but don't know if it's signal green or not. Looks more like some kind of forest green.
