That was a beautiful color, Bob Ingram has a 993ts and a matching 918, one of the best colors I've ever seen in person. It's rare your going to have to know a guy who has one and wait for him to sell it. Maybe a broker could find it with a enough time, but I don't imagine that is available soon but maybe the pandemic says otherwise. I hope I'm wrong and you get it done quick but that is a real rare color. And please post pictures if you get it. I don't know if it was a .1 color or a .2 color or if it was pts. I'm assuming you would have better luck finding it in a 997.1. I'm sure someone here will chime in who knows a lot more than me lol.

Are you sure that a 997 in Viola Metallic actually exists?

Check Rennbow - For 911s, it was available only from 1999-2001 and 2018 and was rated 4 out of 5 paint cans for rarity.

only if it were a PTS or repaint car..

I thought IT was available for all years As pts, I really love the color. I’m sure it’s going to be a long wait in order to see a 911 in viola metallic for sale.

I have seen a few pictures of 911 in this color it’s amazing, almost makes me want to order/pts a new 911 might be my only option
here’s a cool website that can help people find a cool color for Porsche pts

buy a white one, apply viola metallic paint, and viola! You have one

Vinyl wrap.

I doubt you'll find a 997 unless it was PTS.

This would be a true unicorn.

I am guessing the premium on finding a PTS car would be similar to having a good shop repaint a car? 8-12k range?

It did look best on the jubi edition 964, as I was thinking it wasn't even a 997 color according to some veteran members. I'm sure some collector guy with a jubi had a pts one made, but they never sell anything like that because they don't have to. If anyone had one made I imagine it was to special to them to ever let go of it.

It seems to be more common on 996 or even 991 cars than it is on 997 cars. It's a gorgeous color.

It was the standard color for the millennium edition 996. There are 2000 of them out there so they aren't hard to find.

He's looking for a 997 though
