Murano Green is an interesting color. Looks more blue in bright sunlight, but more like aquamarine in shade. You can find it on the Web is you search for it. I think it was an option in 1989.

Here is a link to a better photo of this car. You can see the true color much better.

Keep in mind for 70k you can get into a 997.2 S

Mumbles, that is exactly the other reason why I have hesitated. I had a 2010 C4S, the one in my avatar, and certainly appreciate the differences between the two versions. However, my thinking about how I would use my 911 has changed a bit. Whereas before I was thinking daily driver and wanted all the refinements offered by the 997.2, now I am thinking about a weekender and something to keep for a long time.

Price seems a little high but then again highly optioned car with very low miles command a premium.

Only thing I will say is that if you intend to spend 70k I personally would over look the 997.1 ( whatever color ) and buy a 997.2. Or drop down to 40-50k and buy an older porsche and not fret about the cash.

You sold your 2010 for a reason, remember ?

Absolutely love the color, though seems quite a bit steep on the asking.

Looks much better to me in your photo. I think I could go for a color like that. Looks more green than blue.

Wow! This dealer is in the PTS business, and he must take them back in trade and low miles, and recover the PTS price with his used customers. Like them or not, I don't think I have ever seen so many distinctive colors in the same place..

That car/color is stunning! I can't comment on the price but I can't imagine you'd have a hard time selling that down the road. I would be incredibly surprised if that car had ever seen a track for anything more than a parade lap. Good luck!

One more additional comment................Now that I have one......I loooooove the non-metallic paint....just gorgeous! I probably would never go back to metallic and I'd never do anything but PTS!

It's funny out of all the colors on that second link you posted, your car(go ahead you know you want it) is the most stunning of the bunch. I agree with the rest on here, the car is beautiful, price is a tad high but they may be willing to work on it a bit. It's just awesome to see colors like that. It would be awesome to know that you pull into a PCar show and not one person will have a car like yours.
