Acid Green 2018 Porsche 911 GT3

Acid Green 2018 Porsche 911 GT3

Published July 15, 2018 by Rob

I’m just sort of posting this one for fun. I’ve featured a couple of 2018 GT3s and this one is pretty similar. Low miles, manual transmission, decently high markup. I think you get the picture. I wanted to post this one mainly to go with the Chartreuse and Birch Green 911s I’ve posted recently so I can complete the neon green 911 color wheel. But, of course, also to bring it to the attention of anyone who might have their eye out for one of these very brightly colored, nearly new, GT3s.

This is an Acid Green 2018 Porsche 911 GT3, located in Chicago, with 1,191 miles on it. I could be wrong, but I believe Acid Green had its debut on the 918 Spyder’s brake calipers. Here we see it on the whole car, though the seller has chosen to photograph it in such a way as to minimize the brightness as much as possible. Here it looks subdued. Acid Green is not subdued.

Oak Green Metallic 1997 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet

I don’t come across a lot of what I would consider reasonably priced 993s. As the last of the air-cooled 911s the 993 always has been pretty highly prized and it seems like prices never really dipped into the reasonable territory of most of its predecessors or its successor. Well, especially its successor. This one, however, doesn’t seem priced too badly. With an asking price of $48K it’s not inexpensive by any means, but relative to a lot of other air-cooled options these days that’s not too bad.

Here we have a paint-to-sample Oak Green Metallic 1997 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet, located in Boise, with a Classic Grey leather interior and 93,310 miles on it. To make it just that little bit more special it is also equipped with a set of the very desirable hard-back sport seats.

Rare color or undesirable color? It is a question that presents itself pretty much any time I come across a Porsche in one of the many less common colors Porsche has produced. Of course, in some cases a color may be undesirable during its period of production and then become more desirable years later as preferences shift. Yellows and greens kind of come in and out of favor in this way, likewise the many variants of brown from the late-70s and early-80s suffer under a reversal in popularity.

In the case of the car here, an Ipanema Blue Metallic 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS, located in Washington, we may have one of those situations. Available in the final years of 997 production, we see very few 911s painted in this color. Anecdotally it isn’t difficult to find stories of buyers getting nice discounts to take them off of a dealer’s hands after sitting on the lot for too long. Though a standard color offering its rarity does seem related to its desirability, or lack thereof. We haven’t moved far from its original production date so I’m not sure enough time will have passed for preferences to have changed. However, Ipanema Blue isn’t too far removed from a variety of lighter blues Porsche produced in the ’80s and those cars don’t seem to elicit much derision. So is it a color that might become more desirable or one that, like quite a few colors over the years, will fade away to be forgotten?

1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe

1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe

Published July 5, 2018 by Rob

Back to basics for me here. This isn’t a special model, nor is it a special color or equipped with unique options. It’s not even terribly modern. In that regard it’s a relatively basic ’80s 911, but that does not mean it isn’t an exceptional example of what it is. This is a Guards Red 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe, located in Pennsylvania, with what I believe is a Linen leather interior. The condition looks excellent, the mileage, which comes in at just 45,085, is quite low and it appears to be almost entirely original. The only obvious non-original equipment is the aftermarket radio, but the original unit is said to come with the car. We aren’t shown the option sticker nor the CoA so we can’t say for certain that the equipment we see is its original specification, but it is purported to be and we can hope that a little more thorough perusal will lead us to one of those items. Overall, this appears to be a very nice example of one of my favorite air-cooled 911s.

1967 Porsche 911 Coupe

1967 Porsche 911 Coupe

Published July 3, 2018 by Rob

While not necessarily surprising given their age the early short-wheelbase 911s really do not come around that often, even relative to the later long-hood models. This one I think looks particularly good. This is a Polo Red 1967 Porsche 911 Coupe with a set of lovely black, white, and red houndstooth seat inserts in the interior that looks fantastic as a contrast to the Polo Red exterior.

1967 brought with it a couple changes to the 911 lineup. Of perhaps greatest importance is it marked the debut of the 911 Targa, which at this early stage was in the quirky soft-window form. The Targa would be a mainstay of the 911 lineup for nearly 30 years before going on a brief hiatus after a redesign for the 993. This also was the first year for the top-of-the-line 911S. Of course, neither of those things applies to this 911, which is a base model Coupe, but we might as well account for the available options. Another change, which this time does apply to this 911, was the replacement of the wood dash with an aluminum dash. For me that’s a little bit to the ’67 911’s detriment as those wood dashes were so good looking, but the aluminum look perhaps provides a little more of a sporting feel.
