I have never seen the color. You got yourself a unique car for used economy car money.

That's what I think too, I know I'm way ahead, but I've always wondered how far!

My guess is that it was resprayed. You can take the Vin and call any Porsche Dealer and they would be able to tell you the original color.

You can also just look at the paint code in the frunk.

J3 Ocean Jade metallic was available in 1998.

Yeah it's the original color, I've ran the VIN on it. I found one other thread about it, and a a guy was asking the same thing. His was a clothtop, and said he had "heard" there's only 47 of them in the US. Just trying to get some input from others, I've got no clue
