That website is supposed to be pors9 dot com but for some reason rennlist blocks the link. Then click on vehicle search and you’ll be able to find that.

 

Yes, he sure used it when negotiating the price! Lol, just kidding. It was definitely low, like 16 or something. So that’s why I needed to jump on it.

And in terms of being lucky...I did still have to pay for it lol.

 

thank you! I’ll try to look it up. Weird that RL blocks the link.

 

Yup, that’s about what I figured. I was really looking for blue, and then a distant second was red. It seems every car for sale is black or white. It was a bit sooner than I expected to be pulling the trigger, but I had to take your advice and pull the trigger quickly when the right car became available. Thanks again to all who contributed, especially Bxstr

 

Here are the 997.2 production numbers by color. This is for North America, not just USA.



EDITED to correct missing Meteor Grey stats.

 

Thank you. Do you have the numbers for the 997.1?

 

Here you go. Total production for North America by color. (997.1 GT3).

 

do these numbers represent RSs? curious about .1 GT3 RS

 

That was just GT3. Does not include RS production. RS 997.1 below:

 

My OCD is bugging out. Is Carrera spelled wrong?!?

 

Nope. The color is Carrara. The 911 model is Carrera.

 

ah thanks! Only Porsche would make it one letter off.

 

Everyone knows that Aqua Blue is the bestest color!

 

I've been following your thread since you 1st posted, but for some reason had no idea your 1st choice was Aqua. Well done. MY FAVORITE too!!

We have sister cars (non-RS). so does @Saru385 ... we might have to start our own Aqua Blue Thread!! (The RS crew will dominate of course - + Bill & I have a great repour given our love for the 964 Turbo's too)

so Congrats!! ... I saw the car on Doug's gtvault IG too (back on Oct 22nd), and knew there were several RLers who were in the hunt (& even several RLers who have reached out to me in the past year & did indeed find theirs too)

To further add to the rarity points on our Aqua .2's:

- 491 total sold in US in 2010 (plus 51 in Canada) for a total of 542 in North America - (2011 saw another 166 sold in US, plus 7 more in Canada)
- 2010 saw a total of 11 painted in Aqua Blue, plus 4 more in 2011, for the total of 15 in NA (according to PORS9 database)

So yea, for the non-RS .2 GT3, the Aqua comes up for sale infrequently. In comparison, I think there were something like 57 .2 RS Aqua's sold in the US.

Mine has a yellow highlight theme to its spec sheet (PCCB's, yellow stitching & belts), has the seat backs painted Aqua to match, as well as a few other dash & door bits in Aqua (& there were only 5 of the 15, that came with PCCB's too).

But all of that pales in comparison to the enjoyment of driving these beasts. SOoooo much fun. Should be YEARS of great satisfaction.

Also, Kudos to having all your "buying finances" & ducks in a row, allowing you to pull the trigger quickly. I had to do the same thing. 36 hrs from initial posting & it was in my garage (+ bought it 12 hrs away from my home too, so that 36 hrs included 24 hrs of round trip hauling in my trailer!!)

sounds like a great spec.
