Sorry if repost, it's old but shows many cool details on one of the first cars.

Wonderful selection and explanation of choices. The L28 does look promising in that it has some substance to it.

That site is a fantastic reference!

happy you enjoy the topic.

I contacted a couple reputable dealers and looked at listings online for the GT. I was trying to get an 06 if possible and heritage if luck would have it, but white was my second more 'realistic' choice. I found the car quite quickly as there is reasonable inventory around.

In for this one...looking forward to the Singer build. Congratulations on your decision, and certainly on the recent Ford GT acquisition too.

Was at Lime Rock historic festival today and saw a number of very nice 911 from various eras due to the 50th anniversary.

A couple choice ones that were inspirational are below. In particular the blue/yellow was very attractive.

Blue yellow does look nice, somehow brightens it up.
I wonder what the L28 dark grey or tobacco with a bright white/yellow/other? would look like.

I like where you are going....
This is going to get hard ;-)

Hello super quant I am in CT as well and look forward to seeing this singer once delivered to you. I have followed this company for over a year now and the product interests me greatly. Where in CT are you located?

I like the green one in the first pic. Any idea of the name of the paint color?

Birch green?
That's what I was thinking - great color. Would want to look at all possible colors in person before deciding on the paint color for the Singer build!

Hi Superquant! Congrats on your Singer. Mine is #12 and slated for completion by 1/1/14. I really wrestled with the color decision. Take your time. I think the flat 356 and early 911 colors look great. But what I like best is when Rob "reimagines" those colors with a little more pop. Without giving away which color I chose, these were my favorites along the way
