Production Data
Color to Sample 968s
Of the 4,242 NA 968s built between 1992 and 1995, 18 were painted under the Color-to-Sample program. 16 metallic (paint code 99). 2 solid (paint code 98). All ordered by buyers willing to pay $2,500 extra and wait the extra weeks.
- 10 coupes + 8 cabriolets — the entire NA C2S production run
- 7 of 18 located — and all 7 are painted in colors used by Porsche in earlier years
- $2,500 in 1994 — the same program today costs $5,000+
How to Identify a C2S
Look at the silver paint-code sticker next to the fuse box
The exterior color of a C2S 968 isn’t on any sales literature — to read it, check the small silver paint-code sticker next to the fuse box. The actual paint code and color name (in German) is printed there.
If you spot a NA C2S 968 we don’t have, please contact the registry so we can remove a “?” from the list below.
Customer: “I’ve decided — I want a new 968 cabriolet, and I know just the color.”
Salesman: “Great, we’ll get that ordered. What color?”
Customer: “My wife has a friend at work with a 911 and she just loves the color. Amazon Green!”
Salesman: “Hmm — small problem. That was offered last year, but it’s not on this year’s list. Sorry.”
Customer: “What?! I promised my wife. There must be something.”
Salesman: “Well — Porsche does offer a program. It’s called Color to Sample. For $2,500 I can order your 968 in Amazon Green. What do you say?”
Customer: “Let’s do it!”
Of the 7 NA C2S 968s located so far, all 7 are painted in colors Porsche used in earlier model years — meaning the scenario above probably played out a lot.
