Post some pics! I waited and waited and watched and watched for this green/savannah combo - I think it's the most beautiful there is (maybe that Iris color is close!). But the truth is this thing might as well be one of my kids - I lack any objectivity. I remember reading somewhere that the Porsche family has always had a green 911 specially set aside for them with each new model iteration. I get it.

And the MY99 has a remarkably better interior - a full step above where they went afterwards. My previous 2000 C4 felt like the interior of an old Ford Focus

Some of these early 99's in Unicorn colors are simply astonishing in amber lenses

Shame Porsche so quickly changed out to clear

Any way to confirm if the last 4 are lower than 37xx that it's an amber car?

I've located a car that is in the 3600's but it doesn't have ambers.

Can I assume the headlights / tailights were swapped?

My 09/98 is 3749 and has front/rear ambers. Yes, they are original.

I wish the build sheet specified which headlights came with the car. Since yours are original one would think the car 100 before yours would be an amber car also. On the cusp for sure

Default Early high mileage car available for sell

Early car, look at car fax, car was registered April 98, so it is a February or March car. It does not has the ambers anymore. Anyway I saw this car in Person body looks god, high mileage, also seller has done some sneaky things lately. Clutch and IMS were recently done, I’ll said a bargain at $15-17k, i
just don’t like the interior color.


Just made some homemade chicken noodle soup. Simmering to get some more flavor.


Now time for DonQ, Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 best light rum, it’s aged 6 months longer than Bacardi, if you like rum and Coke with lime “Cuba libre give it a try if you can find it”. I’m licking my wounds from the stock market decline, I’m buying instead of selling, it’s 5 o clock ⏰ somewhere in the world right now. Drink 🍹 up.
