Judging by the fender gap, I'd stay away because it looks like it's been off-roading
Just kidding, that's a pretty sick color. I've never seen it on a 911 before

It's a good looking car and rare color, okay I pay $100k for it happily. Nice find, it sold to you?

Not yet. Thinking about it. I thought about putting liveries on it. Now, if I put one on it, might as well put one on my GT3.

That would be a picture perfect collection.

Gulf blue is part of Porsches racing heritage. Most of the PTS are not part of that heritage. They are nice looking, but for example, Mexico and riviera blue, I don't think they are painted in porsche race cars.

The color is actually a restricted PTS. You will be lucky to have it approved now.

Something unique and have history would be nice.

I love the Gulf livery, but it's just getting too overused in my opinion. Was at a Cars & Caffe this past weekend and a GT3 RS shows up in the color, then another car shows up in the same livery colors!

But at the end of the day, it's your choice.

The liveries are out. The car as I found out is a Meissen blue, not gulf blue. I like it even better. Not for everybody though.
