Market Find: Pastel Yellow on Green 1998 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S
Green on yellow was a thing for a hot minute amongst some cars in the 1970s. Outside of that moment in history, it is a unique and acquired taste sort of decision. No doubt polarizing, we have equally no doubt that such a combination on a rare and low mileage 993-generation Porsche 911 Carrera 4S would be treasured by the right buyer.
Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Alex Grey 911 GT3
Will·
Initially created as a Paint to Sample Plus color in 2017 and added to the standard Paint to Sample palate in 2023, Alex Grey has quite the story behind it. Tracing it's roots back to 1962 when Dutch Police needed a faster horse to ensure safety on roads that at the time were without speed limits, the Rijkspolitie turned it's attention to Porsche and their 356.
Market Find: PTS Polar Silver on Green Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS Returns
If you’re seeking a Sonderwunsch special that makes simple paint to sample builds look passé, the 911 Targa 4 GTS you see her definitely qualifies. On the outside, it’s a subtle play dipping into Paint to Sample services for a decidedly hard-to-spot derivative of silver.
Market Find: Paint to Sample Irish Green Porsche 911 GT3 Touring
The iconic Porsche color of Irish Green looks the business on a 60s/70s F-body 911, and really everything else in between. Such is the reason that Irish Green is a regular hit on the Paint to Sample color palette for an in-the-know buyer looking to spec their car in Porsche heritage.
Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Fish Silvergrey Metallic 911 Carrera 4 GTS
Will·
Not exactly one that rolls off the tongue, but as Juliet once told Romeo- what's in a name? In this case, measuring a generous 24 characters spread over 7 syllables, quite a lot actually. Fish Silvergrey Metallic was added to Porsche's Paint to Sample program in 2023, and meshes the aforementioned silvergrey with a tasteful hint of green.
Market Find: Paint to Sample Albert Blue Porsche 911 GT3 RS in San Luis Obispo
Paint to Sample Albert Blue is an interesting color choice for a 911 GT3 RS - a color from Porsche's rich heritage that's somewhat subdued for such an in-your-face car as a GT3 RS. Pair it with red graphics though (not to mention carbon fiber laden Weissach Package) and the overall look becomes decidedly more bold.
Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Gold Bronze Metallic 718 Spyder
Will·
It's sadly not as often as we'd hope that something comes across our desk from seemingly out of far left field and leaves us speechless, but that's exactly where we find ourselves this morning. Paint to Sample Gold Bronze Metallic is nowhere on our radar, and after seeing it here- we'd say that's a miss.
Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Turquoise 911 3.2 Cabriolet
Will·
"Probably the only one" says the description of this Tailored Driver, and if that is indeed the case, shame on the well-to-do of the late 80's. Porsche's Paint to Sample Turquoise is seldom seen, another shame which we can only chalk up to a lack of awareness.
Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Auratium Green 718 Spyder RS
Will·
This Tailored Driver marks the second instance of Auratium Green to grace our pages, and frankly that's a shame. This pale pastel green has all the makings of a future classic, yet it's still as relevant on this 718 Spyder RS as it was on the 356 where it debuted.
EU Market Find: Rare Green-on-Green 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Targa
While the Porsche 911 964 generation was definitely sold in the United States, the last of the primarily hand built and upright headlight air-cooled 911s has become a rare and valuable commodity thanks to the likes of Singer and RWB conversions. Given that, seeking out cars in Europe can not only net more selection, it can also pay a bonus with rare specifications most American buyers weren't likely to order. We think this green-on-green 1991 911 Carrera 2 Targa qualifies.
