Default 996 Unique Colors
Hello: For my next 911, would like to get a 996 (c2,c4, or c4s (preferred)) in an off-the-run color. Specifically I like signal yellow (orange), turquoise blue, riviera blue or lime green... basically all the late 60s/early 70s colors. Does anyone own a 996 with these colors (pictures greatly appreciated)??

Or an idea on how to track one of these cars down when it comes time?

Thanks, Ross

Then, of course, there is the most unique and beautiful color combination: Orient Red and Grey. Not that I'm biased or anything.
