^^^ #OhYea ,... love that color. I've loved it ever since I first saw the Arena Red Metallic on the 993 Turbo's.

Cool pic behind the fence (& between the 2 trees) too. You have an artistic eye.

i bought the car about 2 months ago. The dealer told me it was ruby red metallic, I guess I don’t know if it’s been repainted or not.

Love it almost as much as our ABM. Cool pic behind the fence (& between the 2 trees) too. You have an artistic eye.

Thank you, some subjects are easier to photograph than others

There was a Guards Red 997.2 car that was repainted Ruby early in its life. It was for sale for a while; last I saw, I think it was in MI. If you're curious if the car I'm thinking of is the same one, I recommend PMing Doug (username = switchcars). He'll be able to tell you. Enjoy it in good health!

lol, sorry I was going to have a bit of fun with you... this car was originally guards red. It’s exactly what I was looking for, as I enjoy driving, and I don’t like devaluing museum pieces. The work was fantastic, everything was disassembled and there are no tape lines ANYWHERE on the car. Maybe 10 defects, but I’m really really picky. I have had it on the lift and have yet to find evidence of crash damage. I think the story of a paint color change on a whim was possibly true.

lol I was going to feel so bad if I had to be the one to break the news to you... Happy to hear she's exactly as you wanted and the respray was of the highest quality. What do you mean by defects? Like rock chips or during the respray? Only asking as someone who has considered doing a high quality respray with no prior history. Feel free to PM if you like

The other GT3RS picture thread seems to get a lot of great pic posts. Since this one gets a little neglected, thought I would hit it up...
.. (my wife & I are fans of the non-RS GT3's,... in all aspects. We are street tour drivers, prefer a painted wing without the non erector-set uprights, comfy sofa's, luxurious leather, NAV, deviated stitching, etc). So this pic thread is where we should live

Lately (last couple years), I've really been into blue's. Wanted to come back to James post # 885 & his Cobalt Blue Metallic on a .2. Was that a PTS back in 2010-11? or maybe a leftover "allowable" color choice from the .1's?
There are also only a couple Cobalt Blue 964 Turbo's in 1994, and I loved the color from back then too.

James, you still watching this thread? ... Do you know how your .2 came to be CBM?
