Got it. Thank you. If it had LWB's I'd be much more excited to pursue it!

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!

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).

I snapped some iPhone pictures of it but the color came out all wrong. Hopefully some of the dslr photos will show up.

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!!

Default On Walters and 'Gulf Orange'...

Very nice. I like how they do 'snow' in Southern California. Everybody there is in the 'Dreamworks' business!

This dealer is at the advanced level as far as 'PTS' knowledge goes. They were one of only two dealers that specced a PTS Boxster Spyder in 2011 for stock inventory (a third was ordered by a real customer) when PAG/PCNA unexpectedly opened the 'window' for it for just 2 weeks in March - without notice or approved colors 'cheat sheets' (like we have now*). My assumption is that this 'Gulf Orange' gt3 started as a customer cancellation of a late MY2014 (C category) gt3 which was re-scheduled by PAG/PCNA for the fall of 2014 as an early MY2015. Walter kept the allocation, changed it to PTS 'Gulf Orange'... are finally bringing it now to market as part of their unsold gt3 inventory. I wish more dealers had the 'cojones' & financial pockets to quickly adapt to changing circumstances like Walters and go for the difficult (it's an expensive MSRP anyway you look at it!) long pass down the field! A PTS '15 gt3 like this one - especially considering now what happened to PTS in MY2015 - was a worthy 'play' for this dealership's management team. And it should pay them benefits - not the least for talent & guts for ordering unusual specced cars like this PTS and many others! Bravo Walters!

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!

Saludos,
Eduardo
Carmel

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.

*See attached for latest 'approved' PTS list!
