Default Rare Color?

Back in 2004 the local dealer had a great looking GT3 on the showroom floor that a friend of mine had ordered. My friend test drove the car once it came in, but thought it was a tad too hard core for him, then bought a 996TT from their dealer stock instead. Anyhow, the GT3 was sold off to an out of State buyer. This had to be a rare color (Polar? Dealer called it Lunar Silver)? I dont recall seeing another. I figured someone here would want the photo.

Looks like Polar Silver. If it's the same car it was, and may be still, for sale in Virginia. + - 20k on it. Has been on e-bay as well.

Nice color.

Never heard if lunar and it's for sure not polar. Polar has a light blue hue to it. My dad's 993 below is polar. This GT3 looks more GT.

Ciao,

I found the window sticker photo from when it was sitting at the dealership. It looks to be Polar.
