"Butzi" green?
Anyone know the name of the hue that Butzi Porsche's 993 Speedster is finished in?
I'm guessing it's similar to the below Panamericana prototype, if anyone has the name for that hue. Let's just call it "Butzi Green," shall we?
Two posts with references here on RL--
"The metallic green car was Ferry's own RS"
& "356 in his custom color, which is sort of a green/blue metallic."
The Americana prototype done in a similar shade. There's enough press written on it that we can hopefully find the name.

That is gulf blue, which was available in the early '70s. Same color as the Gulf Wyer 917s that dominated at Le Mans.
The Ferry Porsche Speedster appears to be Aventurine, which isn't anything special. The Panamericana is much more green/turquoise than Aventurine, which is almost gray in low light.

This shacked up with Speedy...
IIRC: the only 993 WB factory-painted Gulf Blue.
Diggable, as delivered by Porsche: matching hard-back sports seats, parcel shelf/ rear seat delete, carbon fiber & aluminum, contrasting Guards Red seat belts, + more goodies.
GulfBlau code #3B4

Appreciate the info! I was told the above was the only WB 993 in Gulf Blue, in line with Nurburger's recent comment where he posted what appears to be the same C4S.
That's why I'm surprised this example may be the factory's only non-Turbo 993 in this shade, from what I'm told.
P.S. You have a PM.
