Default Are There Any Blue Manual 997s Out There?

Yeah I have this blue thing going on.

My then new 2016 loaded up 981S was lost to flooding here during Harvey. So I started casting about for a 911 ( 997 or a 991 or an S ) with a manual transmission and a sport chrono. As of yet none have shown up. Im starting to wonder if its just me? I really got my hands full down here and don't want to drop 130 on a new T. Eeeek.

I have seen a few in other colors and but nothing matched up. There is at least one in blue here but no sport chrono. For me it probably isn't that big of deal but I might let Daughter One learn a bit about driving them too - so the rev match would be desirable.

If y'all see one of these unicorns please give the TR here a Texas Yell Out. Im going to put this over on the 991 side too.

there isn't much. I have perhaps seen 2 in the past year that were worth pursuing, and I would prefer aqua blue or a PTS blue over any other color. Sapphire seems to be a lot more common on current cars, but on the 997 gen, Aqua just doesn't come up often.

Well it probably will not be in the $ range you are seeking but I am close to posting my NA 2016 PTS Ice Blue 991.1 GTS, manual, no sunroof, 4000 miles, for sale.It is something of a stealth GTS in that I don't like the center locks and black trim so looks like an elegant S.

Both of those sound fantastic guys. At another time, when I wasn't having to spend so much on redoing our home, I'd sure be wanting to see both of those. But for now Im trying to keep it down some. Plus I still have to get my Porsche decorated and done side of the garage back open and operational. But thanks again guys.

Why do you need Sport Chrono on a non-PDK, non-Turbo car?

I just bought mine here in the Houston area and took possession on 2/12 - grabbed it pretty quickly off of autotrader. It's a 2007 997.1 base model in Cobalt Blue with 65k miles on it. I'm in love! My 1st Porsche.

Beauty and a rare bird. Tons of 911's in southwest Florida but I don't recall ever seeing one in that color.

Porsche didn't have much in blues for awhile so I had to make my own. PTS.
