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:

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.

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....

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?
