I think the new RS would look amazing in signal green or RS green too! Love your colour choice Z356

Where the IROC cars all non metallic?
Acid/Bahamas blue looks very nice but looks metallic?

Z356

Thanks 911rox. Nice to see you back posting on our forum!

Me too!

No, I believe all 15 IROC colors were 'solid' and 'non-metallic':

911.460.0016 IROC engine #684 0021, 'Light Yellow', color code 117
911.460.0025 IROC engine #684 0022, 'Grand Prix White', color code 908
911.460.0035 IROC engine #684 0024, 'Gulf Blue', color code 328
911.460.0037 IROC engine #684 0027, 'Yellow Green/Gelbgrün' (called 'Pistachio' by some at the time of the race), color code 137
911.460.0040 IROC engine #684 0023, 'Birch Green/Light Green', color code 253
911.460.0042 IROC engine #684 0025, 'Jade Green/Hellgrün', color code 227
911.460.0050 IROC engine #684 0028, 'Aubergine', color code 025
911.460.0059 IROC engine #684 0029, 'Acid Blue/Bahama Blue', color code 354
911.460.0075 IROC engine #684 0033, 'Mexico Blue', color code 336
911.460.0085 IROC engine #684 0035, 'India Red', color code 027
911.460.0090 IROC engine #684 0031, 'Orange', color code 156
911.460.0100 IROC engine #684 0024, 'Sahara Beige', color code 516
911.460.0111 IROC engine #684 0033, 'Strawberry/Fraise', color code 024
911.460.0116 IROC engine #684 0034, 'Magenta/Karminrot', color code 009
911.460.0124 IROC engine #684 0026, 'Black', color code 041 (or 700)

'Acid Blue/Bahama' is pretty close (a few shades away) to the current 'Club Blau' of the PCA 60th Anniversary Coupe:



It would not surprise me if 'Club Blau' becomes available via PTS on other Porsche models in the near future...but that is only speculation on my part.

Eduardo,

That is my belief, also. All solid, no metallic.

Remember, they had to fix them before the next race after any body damage and metallic paint would complicate the process.

Ed, after watching how quickly geyser grey from the 911_50 became available via PTS, how could it? Apparently, anniversary color sanctity is short-lived.

Finally some great news! My car is built and on its way to the port. This is one of the arena reds.

<3mph

Hooray!

0to60

My Arena red is still showing V260 status. My commission # is Axxx12
Is your commission # close to mine ?

Ma991

I don't think so. My commission number is A14807. Hope yours starts moving soon.

0to60

I'm only 5 behind your number. If they build them in the order of commission # then I might be at the port with you. As of today my dealer told me I'm still V260

Ma991

Sounds reasonable to me, I've got my fingers crossed for you.

I live in MA, I'm curious how many Arena Reds will end up on the east coast.

0to60

I don't think you will see any Arena Red GT3 in the wild.

Correctamundo. Very few 'Limited Edition' colors are truly 'sacred' at Porsche! The special 'Brewster Green' of the 2012 991 'Club Coupe' (60th Anniversary of the first Porsche Club in Germany) became PTS. The 'Geyser Grey' of the 50th 911th Anniversary was allowed to be done on a Rennlister's 991 C4S, although the color has not yet shown up as approved in PTS. And the 'Azurro California Blue' of the PCA 50th Anniversary Club Coupe in 2005 has been available via PTS for a number of years now. How long will it take for 'Club Blau', which is very close to the original vintage/historic 'Acid Blue/Bahama Blue' of 1974, to be available to anyone via PTS? My guess would be...by calendar year 2016!

Only 'Sport Classic Grey' and 'Pure Blue' of the .2 997 Speedster have not been YET duplicated by PAG...to my knowledge.

Good point, Mike. I am sorry you sold #040. That would have been the color to keep among the IROC RSRs!







Did you buy it directly from Stoddard at $21,000?



Please tell us the full story on the beautiful 'Birch Green' IROC (chassis #40) & where it ended up! If you have photos of when you owned it, we would love to see them!

what about Graphite Grey the other 50th anniversary color?
