The Complete Boxster Color Gallery
 

There are lots of rare and interesting colors on the 986. Everything from the Pastel Yellow to GT Silver. It's rare to get a chance to see all the colors next to each other particularly the rare ones; so I have created this thread for members to post examples of each color to finally have them all in one place.

I will start with a Porsche favorite. (I prefer silver with red interior, but love my yellow.)

Speed Yellow:

Gloss Black (code L741)

Can 987s participate? If so...

Orange (the mktg dept went all out on naming that one)

It happened by accident, but I like how the driveway follows the curvature of Punkin. Not my house or lake, btw.

I don't want to be the one to move off topic, but I love the signal colors, Signal Green, Signal Orange and Signal Yellow. I wonder how they would look on a Boxster.

I wonder how SHE would look on my Boxster...?

I dunno... I'm getting old. I'd probably get after her for sitting on the fender and for smoking a cigarette next to the car and stinking it up...



BTW Jake - good thread - I like trying to get all the colors under one post. :cheers:

There are so many colors and I love them all, but it's really uncommon to see them all in one spot. I'll pass a lapis boxster on the road or an arena red one and my eyes just gravitate, there is so much variety in the cars.

As for Emma, I have a feeling she would look quite well with a boxster, no smoking near the car though....

Speaking of which BIGJake is off to college soon with the boxster....

What year 911?

I'm taking 69!!! 912 though. Ok mind out of the gutter. Although Timco what were you looking at to miss that 912 on the engine cover. I think that's a 67 912, Really getting some interest now in sales. Horrible cars as far as corrosion protection though, look at that tailpipe already rusted.

Was there 2 models that year or was it not called a 911 by then?

The 911 had a flat 6. The 912 had a flat 4 cylinder out of the VW bus.

Arena Red with a hardtop.

antny and I were about to buy it as a partnership-project and pick it up. The seller suddenly changed his story and said he decided to return it to the auction lot for a refund :(

1997 base model 986. 203k DD recently converted from arctic silver to Viper Green(225). The only thing anyone said about it so far was, "that is not a period correct color for a Boxster".http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...976c7484fa.jpg

I've seen you on woodruff road.

I was puzzled by the color for sure but it looks pretty good, particularly in the wet, (it was that day.)

Yeah I saw your post and thought, I've seen a vibrant green 986 and I didn't think it was factory then checked your bio and saw you were from S.C. I'd say it looks pretty good!

Thanks! You are very kind. This color is Porsche factory issue from the 1972-73 911. I saw it first on the 2015 Boxster at Porsche Exclusive. I have actually find a few other 986 models that are now this color too.

So where you going to college, Jake? The state only, if you don't feel comfortable telling us the school.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

You might not know yet, I'm still trying to figure that one out.

Clemson, double major in marketing and management. Considering economics.

I hope to get my MBA not long after, however depending on how i feel after my undergrad I may go into law school as marketing works as a pre req.

I still technically have a year left in high school but I've only got 2 classes, this leaves me with a lot of time to get college basics done at a local tech college.

I will be going in to Clemson 2016 fall with 30 credit hours under my belt.

I hope to do corporate marketing some day, brand strategy and such, however, I am keeping my mind open.

30 on act with a 35 on science.
And 1260 on my sat first attempt.
4.7 gpa. Fingers crossed, this should get me accepted quite fine.

Now that was funny... go go pcars!!!

whatever years, to your question, I also mean the 911 :D

Great thread BJake (silver & red interior at 100mph also here)

You sound just like a teacher!!! Who ever is teaching you all that material appears to be well qualified. Good attitude, luck mate

Arctic Silver / Metropol Blue

http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1436873609.jpg

That's an excellent plan, there are nice fluffy corporate jobs for those degrees. Skip the economics, there's no jobs there. A friend of mine has an MBA from Wharton and a doctorate in economics from Harvard and the only job she could find is a lecturer (not even a professor) at a fancy university. Which pays almost nothing. Pretty poor ROI, in my opinion.

As for marketing, here is some advice based on experience; don't believe everything the focus groups tell you, they lie.

If you haven't already taken AP statistics, I suggest you do. At the college level statistics is a monster, but the AP course is supposed to be well organized.

69 and earlier 912s had the 616 356 engine. The 1976 912 had the VW Type 4 from the VW 412/411, Porsche 914 and buses.

Thanks for the advice! I finished my first tech class last night and will be finishing my second later this week. So far I am preferring college classes to high school courses.

For anyone here with kids in the late middle and early highschool age, I can't suggest ap classes enough, they are far more preparatory then anything else I have taken.

What colors are we still missing? We have a fair amount here now but I think there are still a few missing?
