911R PTS
#316
Interesting, as there are two Sport Classic 911Rs on Instagram (another poster was kind enough to link to Cornucopia of 911Rs). Yours appeared to have a deeper orange so felt it was Gulf. S-R, thanks for chiming in the Signal Orange correction!

Not every R was ordered by a VIP owner.
Don't know of anymore unaccounted for but it is possible.

This is so tough for me spec ing my allocation. I am doing a touring manual car. On the one hand I want a bright color like gulf orange or viper but want it to fit the car and feels like those colors work better on winged cars. On the other hand I don’t want a subdued touring car. Tough to figure out how to make it handsome with a lot of spirit too! Lots of terrific ideas here. One thing I’m sold on is the houndstooth interior. I suppose I’ll go to Atlanta and getter done.

I have a stupid question, those with Rs and factory stripes how are you doing PPF or are you not?
It seems most doing it aftermarket are doing the clear bra first then applying the stripes but are the factory stripes thin enough to wrap over?

I'm not so sure classic colors like Viper Green and Gulf Orange are not suitable for Touring. Both of these colors were available 1973 colors. You cannot go wrong with either.
It comes down to whether you want the car to stand out more or less. I'm going through a similar thought process for my October production. Pick your preferred theme and go for it.
The PTS decision making process is, nevertheless, brutal. Much easier to just go black or silver or white and save the coin. I'm down to like six colors (from a 18 favorites) but can't nail it down just yet. Good luck!
