Default On The Hunt for this color

Starting to look for an Ipanema Blue 997. I'm not sure this is the right place but I'll also post in the classifieds. Saw this one in Monterey. I like the color.

If you know of any...secasensei@gmail.com

Thank You

I would assume there are only a handful in existence, probably tough to find one for sale, but good luck!

If after a lengthy search you fail to find this color, it might be worth considering a wrap that might imitate the color.

I see the HI car semi-daily. Lic plate is SNO DOG and its driven by an older gentleman. If you subscribe to this thread, and it ever comes up for sale locally, Ill post it here. He had a white 997.1 previously, so he does have a history of trading in.

I thought a subscription would automatic since I created the thread but I just officially subscribed. Thanks IslandS52. Without breaking any cell phone laws, snap a pic if you get the chance.

Isn't this a PTS color?

I do like it ... But I'm more partial to Mexico Blue.

Look at the price on that '12 cab! Some 35%+ premium over market for that model/build. Wonder what the wrap costs....

It's PTS now but was a factory color for 2011/2012 997.2 cars.

I like all of those shades of blue. From Maritime to Voodoo. I'm hoping the Ipanema might be more accessible.

Yeah, I think he is gonna be admiring the 'vert in his garage for a long time if he stays at that number. Looks Great, though.
