Hello everyone

i hope everyone is doing well

i wanted to ask your opinions on the attached car color exterior and interior
its a PTS but i couldnt figure out what color name or code

any help?

Quadcammer

no clue, but it sure isn't a good combo.

Interior sure looks like Nephrite Green. Not sure about the exterior from those photos. Honestly, it could be Polar Silver, which would be a PTS for 1997.

I do not think that is Polar Silver - its a very light blue. Farisad, can you get to the car? The paint code is in the trunk, left hand side.

i'm planning when i get to see the car in the next one and half months

Looks like Ice Green to me (I think thats the name of the color). Rudy has a Carrera S in that color. I think his name is OPO on here. If you do a search you will definitely find him. He also posts a lot in the regular 993 forum.

I would steer clear of that interior color personally for future value. It's really an odd color.

farisad

thanks for the reply but dont you think its odd and that makes it special ?

Odd is good sometimes. Rudy who I had mentioned has this exterior color with Linen white seats, and darker green carpet and dashboard.

A white car with red interior... odd but really nice.

Riviera blue... odd but the most valuable color that exists for porsche.


Green on green.... hey if the car appeals to you go for it. Its just absolutely impossible to resell. There are some color combos Porsche should put a stop to that people order... this was one of them.

Nothing personal, but I think you can find another rare paint to sample car that will be more appealing to you and to a buyer down the road.

I wouldn't touch that car personally (I have bought and sold more then 20 turbos in my lifetime and I work in the car industry) if you really love the car and will hold onto it and pass it along to your kids and their kids go for it. If you are buying it because it's rare and you think that it will be worth more then another standard color, don't do it. It WILL NOT BE WORTH MORE. You won't be able to resell it.

Farisad,

My mistake, the color is called krystal green. It is a color from the 1970s turbos.

Here is rudy's car....

hello buddy

thanks for sharing your time and comments
i do agree few odd color combos are just amazing, i personally liked this and my intention was to buy something out of same models we see always
any odd ones you got on your side? or seen for sale recently?

Opo

Thats it ! But according to Porsche , my Krystal Green c4s is supposed to be 1 of 1 in the world , but I don't know if they meant 1 of 1 c4s ..
heres sone other pictures in different lighting .

This was my first Krystal Green 1986 cabriolet 💚

farisad

such a beatiful C4s amazing!
how can i verify if its the car is the only one in the world or etc

You know, with an appropriate discount, I would buy this car because I like unusual color combos.....look at my Diablo for instance.

Now while I have the car, I would be on the lookout for black interior pieces to widen my options when I sell.

AC/911's

BIG discount.....

You will find most of the out of ordinary colours and combinations from Japan.

Isn't there a paint code in the trunk? I'm assuming option code is not on the hood too?
