This '89 Speester belonged to our Friend Sam. We really wanted this car, but sam said he would NEVER sell it since it was the only Mexico Blue Speedster produced at the factory. He did end up selling it for lots of $$$$. There was someone who just HAD to have it and could afford it....... He said he regrets selling it.

Los Olivos Central California Stopped for a potty break That is Sam looking at our '74. We had a TON of fun with that car.

Thanks for the pics and info JoAnne, that's sure a pretty Speedster. Looks to be a Euro-spec car too.

I saw a 96 or 97 TT that was Champaign (a light tan color) that was for sale in Scottsdale, AZ a few years ago that toped my list for a 993 color, even though Im a fan of black.

My favorite! (Only stuck with it because my friend needed $10K to save his house last year...........) Also, note what I didn't crop out in the background. And finally, would you believe a friend of mine had a '73 RS that was an original Sepia Brown car? It was white by the time he got it, though.

12/4/09 (non)STATISTICAL NOTES:



--> SILVER is a CLEAR (Individual Category) WINNER with 20.8% !

--> DARK BLUES + BLACK yields 27.5 % which is impressive (I realize it is not fair to "add" 2 or more colors together b/c some people voted for more than one color...so that may result in counting a vote twice..but shut up... it is "non-Statistical" for a reason !)

--> ADDING ALL THE BLUES - still yields the MOST POPULAR by FAR (38.7%)

--> WHITE (special mention) made a BIG recent COMEBACK ! at 15% (about time!)



---> STAY (porsche) TUNED FOR MORE USELESS / B.S. StaTiSTics TO FOLLOW !!!! <---

Come on! Only Arena Red (with Cashmere interior) will do on a 993. Now, where is that pic of my 1996?

Default Yellow 993 paint colors

There was also a 'pastel yellow' paint color for 993s.

Another vote for pastel yellow. It compliments the lines of the car beautifully. It's completely unlike speed and the "brighter" yellows.
