I'm in a holding pattern for a few weeks recovering from the shoulder replacement. She was just detailed and covered securely in the garage. Anyone local is welcome to come see it, but my typing is limited.
Don't flame me for this, as this stuff is very subjective, but here is my two cents for why this car is not moving (and why it may be tough on resale). That color is very very cool, very pretty, and insane rare (1 of 1 perhaps?). But, my personal opinion is that the color does not fit the character of the car or the type of person that would be interested in a 996 gt3 (for over 90k). It is too "old man," too "luxury," too, dare I say, "90's Camry"? Its almost too nice, too luxurious, and too inconsistent with what a 996 gt3 is supposed to be (bare bones, raw, mechanical, in your face, no creature comforts, track weapon).

Totally agree. The appeal I think is to the buyer who collects GT cars of rare and PTS colors. Not my cup of tea though.
How are you Chet? I don't know if you remember me. I bought a bunch of stuff from you for my 964 RS build I did many moons ago. I see you moved into the 996 GT3 as well. That car of yours looks great. Those wheels are the bomb on the 6-3. Saweet!!!

Sorry been a long time, but glad I could help. :-)
I have had my 6GT3 since new so it’s coming up on its 15th anniversary in a few months. Yeah love the E88’s. Actually ordered silver wheels and never opened the boxes for 6 months and when I finally did they were Gold. Was convinced by my son to keep and actually extremely happy with how they look.

I actually like that color -- but not the price :-)
I'm tired of the silver's and black is so hard to upkeep... I can't tell you how many silver Porsches I've owned -- I'm not a loud in your face guy (so no Yellow, Orange, Bright Red) -- this would work for me...
