Damian,

The Speed Yellow Door Cards and Shift Knob/Boot came on the car as "special wishes" options.

How these items read on the Window Sticker:

LTHR DOOR PANELS MATCHING INT $267.00
SHIFT LVR KNOB/BOOT IN LEATHER $227.00

The "button/top" of the shift knob is also in Speed Yellow Leather with the shift pattern. It's kewl how Porsche could expertly cover anything in leather!

The shift boot discolored a bit with age. I removed it intending to treat the leather with Speed Yellow leather polish, but have never gotten to it :nono:

Beautiful, and original. Thanks for sharing Rader.

Funny, those options were under $500 then but make the car priceless now(besides mileage, ect.).

Very nice, I have never heard of the "special wishes" program. Is SW listed on the window sticker? Where did you hear it?

Thanks
Jeff

That was the name used before they changed it to the exclusiv program.

Here's a pic of my Speed Yellow C2S next to my ex "Himberot" Red 968.

Speed Yellow is a bit "tamer" than Ferrari "Fly Yellow." That said, I like both :burnout:

I am not a fan of yellow cars at all, but it just looks awesome on 968's. Nice cars guys!

Very nice, that would be A7 Raspberry here in North America, 6 cabs produced in that color (including the movie car), I don't have the coupe production totals, yet....

Just searched and came up with this.
How rare is the summer yellow 968? Are you saying that only 1 car was made with this color?
Do we have any pictures of summer yellow 968's? It seems to rarer than signal green?

Summer yellow was not actually a standard factory offering on the 968. That said, we know that NA 968 SS820318 is indeed painted in summer yellow. The reason is because it is a code 98 car, color to sample solid. It was the only North Amercian color to sample solid 968 coupe produced (they made 9 code 99 color to sample metallic 968 coupes). So it is rare but it is still not as rare as a signal green car because Porsche did not even sell one signal green 968, coupe or cab, in North America. There are a few 1 of 1 coupes as far as exterior color goes.
