Yep. It's a weird car, being a PTS 991.2 Carrera 7MT w/PCCB. Would be curious to know, but I know of only one other Oak Green 991 in North America delivered before this car, a 991.1 Turbo S with polished wheels, window trim, and a tan interior. There have been a number of 991.2s in Oak now, from Röhrl's 911R (which must have been ordered just before my car) to the GT3 Touring in Europe, to a couple (?) of GT3 Tourings and GT3s here, a Targa (not sure if NA or RoW), and at least one more Carrera coupe, a C4S 7MT in SoCal in matching Oak/Espresso to my car—both ordered out of Carlsen Porsche. I'm guessing 7-10 more cars, and there are always more than we hear about.

Great pics! Really wish I had the time/$ to attend...
Listed in our docs as a 1973 911S in Viper, which fits with what I remember the owner saying. Very cool guy.

Come to the next one—doesn't get cheaper during Car Week, given that it was free to attend and $30 to show a car—and there will be a next one!

Had a beer in the owner's garage one night last year while stopping by to look at a 914 bumper. Very cool guy, and I remember him talking about the fact the car was Midnight Blue Metallic.

yea, was a nice color. took a few pics of that one. thought it was Dark Blue Metallic when I first saw it.
this color may actually be nicer than DBM. too bad there wasn't a DBM car there for a side by side comparison.

of course, the best blue car there was this one.

Folks, I own the Midnight Blue Metallic GT3. Doug at Switchcars mentioned a few years ago, " Yours is the ONLY Midnight Blue Metallic PTS 997.2 produced for North America. There are 4 Dark Blue Metallic cars, which was a standard color." I guess a rare shade indeed.
