Thanks Chuck!

In true Porsche fashion they have done an Exclusive Targa for Italy in Gemini Metallic that I came across when deciding on color.

Also one of our Rennlisters KAW has posted his 991 Gemini Targa with a picture of his Gemini 1973 Targa which looked so cool.

wow, so many of these builds are gorgeous but I must say that this is a particularly beautiful and classic looking car. great job with the build.

must be satisfying to know you truly have a 1 of 1. cant imagine theres another copy out there.

I think the only overkill is the 911 on the seat headrests...seems a bit out of place. unless this is a hint to some classic elements from 911s in the past like the houndstooth?

Very nice build. The houndstooth seats are a nice touch as well and give it a vintage look. Well done!

Jumping Gemini! Very nicely done.
The visual balance of those color choices is perfect!
And you'll find it has gobs of power to boot

Thanks so much.
Not sure if there is any significance to the 911 inscription on the headrest. Seemed kind of retro idea though when presented to me by Porsche Exclusive & provided examples; originally was going to go with Porsche crest embossed (which BTW would have also been included in the price of the 8+K seat LOL). I'm hoping it gives the seat a little more pop especially with the light color stitching to match. Actually now that I'm recalling and just referenced one of their examples had BOTH embossed crest and the 911 inscription which I though may be to much.

I like the 911 - but I agree both is too much. Wish the 911 script was available as an option without paying $8k+.

Cheers, -Peter

Going today to the dealer to see the car for the first time. Very excited.
Here are some additional (non-professional) photos that had been initially sent to me showing the color in more brighter lighting situation.
Also included are seat backs in leather with deviated stitching and painted air slats.
