000 and @ptsrs invite you to join us for a cup of coffee at Rare Shades on Thursday, 8/23 at the Canepa Motorsport Museum—a beautiful, hour-ish drive north from Monterey Car Week on one of its quieter days.
General admission is open to all, with free parking available on a first-come, first-served basis. If you wish to display your Porsche in the dedicated parking area for PTS and unusual factory color cars, please register at 000magazine.com/rare-shades (registration includes some cool 000 swag).
I wonder how many White/ Black/ Guards Red cars will apply?
Serious question, what counts as an "unusual" color?
Good question, and we'll find out as we sort through registration. The idea is unusual colors. Virtually anything PTS is obvious, but we didn't want to limit it to that—or "PTS models." We want to see Ocean Jade Metallic, Royal Purple, Acid Blue, Summer Yellow, Meerblau, and the list goes on and on. And any model, 1949-2018, is fair game. Long run, we have some ideas for "normal" colors (white, black, red, silver, gray, etc.) that might plug into this event, but the first one is a toe in and limited to Rubystone and Mint, Malaga and Ultraviolet.

Yes, please come join us! And yes, there are discussions about doing a Rare Shades on the East Coast—we'll see how that comes together...

I agree it can sometimes get tricky.... what was a standard or factory option on a past 911 can easily be a more desirable PTS nowadays (e.g. the 993 C2 in speed yellow vs. a now-PTS speed yellow for a newer model, etc. etc...)

Maybe a Rare Shades in Will's hometown is in order.
Great idea that only our friends at 000 Magazine can pull off. Can't wait to see the pictures.
Ha. Thanks, Seth! So when are we doing a GT event West?

Indeed. Will has been a dream to work with, and is a very cool guy.
As for future Rare Shades, we'd love to do one back east and possibly overseas. But we'll see how this first one goes, and are okay with starting small.
damn if I still had the Mexico Blue car I would be there... but I'll be in Germany driving the new Voodoo Blue car at the Ring!!!

Just a friendly reminder that registration for next week's event closes this Thursday. We've currently got more than 40 Porsches registered in "Rare Shades" (PTS and unusual colors), and everyone else is of course invited to bring any and all Porsches for free, with parking up to 150~ cars on a first come, first serve basis.
