I found this pic a while back and fell in love with the car. As I dream and plan about the car I'm having PMB do when its my turn in line, I think about what a flared 914 would look like in this color. Does anyone know what the color code is? What its name is? TIA, -sean |

My guess is
Porsche 911 (930) Turbo 3.3 Oak Green Metallic Waiting for your PMB car is well as a song goes " It's been a long time been a long time, Been a long, lonely, lonely lonely lonely lonely, time Yes it has" but one of the very best shops doing 914s. Bob B (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) |

I would email Singer. Include a pic of the car. I bet they get back to you.

Thanks guys!
Oak Green was my best guess so far, as well. I just sent Singer an email and link to the photo. Hopefully they'll chime in. =) |

I am a bit disappointed they would not share the color with you. Seems a bit petty.

They don’t want copycats or at least they aren’t going to hand over the recipe for the secret sauce. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) I know of one that went for $800,000. It started out around $625,000 2 years ago but the owner made change orders. Still don't get these cars at all and I suppose I never will. Alois Ruf makes a car that will run circles around it. The rear tire/wheel combination reminds me of a 2WD "pulling truck". Not at all attractive. The look is unbalanced. |

But no, even after you *looked* it all over closely, you still can't know what color it is, it "exclusive" and "secret". I paid for that, you know? That really makes sense to you?

I once sent Wayne Carini an email about a paint color he used on a 356, I thought it would look good on my '50 GMC...he wouldn't share either. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)
Looks like GM Fairway green Fairway green is a little more saturated than the 911, and I think there's a tiny goldish hue under the green that the GM color doesn't show. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I'm sure they get asked about the engine, bodywork, leather interior, ect. It may not make sense to us but it's there business and it makes sense to them. When I worked at salliemae, we couldn't disclose how the loans were considered. All we could say was it is a proprietary formula. It pissed people off but it was the company's secret sauce. It didn't have to make sense, it just was. |

In fact, they *want* it to be visible. The damn thing is fricking puke green. so next time it's out in the open, someone please take a better picture and have your local paint shop match it to sample.
