Yes, it's there alright! (see attached).
Aussie: What was the occasion of this gathering of gt3's and at whose home was it held? That 'snow' looks very un-Riverside...and un-Palm Springs too! But the lush vegetation around it tells us otherwise!

That is too painful to look at since that was the PTS color I had before my PTS order was cancelled. Walters must have had the order in before the Stop Order. DAMN! Looks nice, I'm crying inside though...

Great car - awesome color but misses the mark for me. Most of the options I would not want 342, 581, 630, 643, 666, 686, P07, P13, XXB, XYB, ZAB - and a bunch not there I would desire... BUT the color is great!!

On Walters and 'Gulf Orange'...
Eduardo, this was at Tom Ridings and Lisa Taylor's (@FlyingLRacing) Porsche Christmas party on Saturday in Orange County. I believe Walter's Porsche was a title sponsor and decided to bring out their GO GT3 - it's absolutely spectacular in person (Graham, if you're reading this, BUY IT - lol)...Jorge
By the way, 'Gulf Orange' was first seen in MY1972/MY1973 in the 911 as color code '019'. It has been approved by PAG for PTS several time periods since then, including when this late .1 997 coupe was custom ordered on speculation by an also gutsy dealership in Texas. This photo was taken in 2008 or so (first attached photo). Notice how different the color is from the orange on 'Limited Edition' MY2008 Boxster (that color was 'RS Orange', exactly like the .1 997 gt3 RS) (second photo)! 'Gulf' is a very deep & elegant rendition of 'orange'.
To their credit, PAG's color code for 'Gulf Orange' is still '019', which tell us that they think it's pretty damn close to the original 'Gulf Orange' (then a special color) back in the early 1970's! It's indeed an excellent color with a vintage heritage that's a mile long and should be considered by many for their next special custom order...if/when PAG get's PTS back on track!

PS Another gutsy dealerships that often takes a chance on PTS include P of San Diego, who ordered on spec the 'Signal Green' .1 997 Carrera S coupe I used to own.
