Could have at least put it on his refrigerator…until old 1963 came along and dashed his hopes and dreams!

I asked my sales associate today what ship I'm on and was told I'm still at the port. Doesn't make sence as my car has been at port while your ship as departed. I'm even more confused now. Maybe system didn't update today and I'm on the ship that's just departed. Trying to be optimistic as I'm applying for .99% financing with a 30 day lock and I need to lock in by 5/31/15, so it's going to be close. My credit union is offering .99% until 5/31 so that gives me until end of June to close the loan . Keeping my fingers crossed I arrive at dealer by 6/26/15. Hoping the internal system updates my vehicle is at sea now. Anybody want to weigh in on the following fact pattern. Thanks my bothers.

Today sales associate said I'm at the port at of 5/20/15 and told me today I'm still at the port 3 days later. I'm surprised my GT3 was not loaded on to the ship that left today as mine in a Davisville port entry like others in this thread. I guess I'll be sitting at the port until next ship or PAG hasn't updated the system and I'm on the ship. Just dunno.

Here is a shot of the Beverly Hills 'Signal Green' gt3 sent to me by someone who actually saw it at the showroom before it was delivered to a client (whom he actually met there at the dealership too!). Standard specs like the vast majority of the other 'Signal Green' gt3s (a few dealers were able to add PCCB before status locked frozen...that was the case of Stevinson and McKenna, if I recall correctly).

This is what he wrote to me:

"Eduardo, saw the signal green one at Porsche Beverly Hills today and it looks spectacular! The pictures do not truly reflect the color properly."



Still don't understand why they (P of Beverly Hills) started the eBay listing cited in a recent post above? Anyone?

*********

And here is the one at McKenna. Sent to me by the same individual. Yes, yellow PCCBs on that one!



So both of these PTS gt3s have arrived at their dealerships in Southern California!

**********

The 'Signal Green' gt3 awarded to P of San Diego is still at the factory waiting for its owner to pick it up first week of June for a European Delivery experience.

*********

The 'Signal Green' gt3 that P of Rancho Mirage (IndiGo Group) was able to get allocated arrived at the port of San Diego on May 16th and will be delivered to its owner, Rennlister MsMatt, next week!

*******

The first 'Signal Green' gt3 delivery was on April 27th at Momentum in Houston:



******

My 'Signal Green' arrived at the dealership in Ohio on May 4th and arrives in the West Coast via InterCity on Monday morning:



*******
The 'Signal Green' at P of Bellevue in Washington arrived a week or so ago...and was reported here too:



********

Has anyone in Colorado seen the Stevinson 'Signal Green'? It should have been delivered by now!

Has anyone seen a 'Signal Green' gt3 delivered to a famous Porsche sales & restoration shop in North Carolina...or Washington State? This was supposed to have been air freighted over from Stuttgart!

Any other 'Signal Green' gt3s we are missing?

Saludos,
Eduardo

Eduardo,

You needed better pics of the McKenna car and since I have to spend the long weekend waiting for mine I went down to check it out in person. This color doesn't disappoint!

Indeed we did! Thanks for those you posted, Msmatt!

And looking forward to seeing photos of your car as soon as is delivered to you shortly!

Rennlister Signes send me a message that said: "Saw the Signal Green GT3 at Stevinson today, looks incredible! Great color for the GT3. Makes me wish I could get PTS for my GT3 order. Also confirmed that it does indeed have PCCBs." He'll either post photos or send them to me so that I can post them. Thank you Cecil!

So we are making good progress identifying almost* all 'Signal Green' gt3s that have arrived with photographs at delivery!

Saludos,
Eduardo

*Need Mr. NC Restoration Shop guy to post about his car!
