That color would de-value the car for me! I had seen pictures of that color before and it is the only CGT that I don't think looks gorgeous.

I am sure there is a buyer for this car, someone who loves the color and is probably willing to pay more. If they can afford to wait a long time for the right buyer they might get 400K.

Guys, it is indeed Gulf Blue, a milky blue as seen on the infamous Gulf/Wyer 917s and available on the early 911s...

I think the saleability of the color is questionable, definately going to have to wait for the right buyer. I agree with the rest, it does not suit the "style" of the Carrera GT.

Not my taste (especially with ascot interior!), but it would look better imho with some tint and perhaps flat black wheels, although I'd leave that up to the purchaser.

A premium? Prolly not, however, there's an audience for every color.

Not for me. It might look better in my garage though.

I love Gulf Blue, and Ascot interior. But maybe not together?

That looks more like a baby powder blue, than Gulf??

Luis,

This car is in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
I met him in Liepzig and took the pictures when it was delivered to Maplewood Imports (St. Paul, MN). It came on the same transporter that
had just dropped off Mike Valentine's custom Yellow CGT.
The owner never drives it and has lots of cars.

No matter what the color is, if somebody wanted an almost brand new CGT, which are almost extinct now, that's a great one to buy.

It's rare to find one with that low miles now for sale...I'd buy it and paint it black.

It always surprises me when someone thinks a "historical" paint-to-sample car is worth more. Historical cars themselves are, but not their colors. There's a reason black, silver and gray are popular since they appeal to most buyers. As you get into more polarizing colors like blue, red and white, the market begins to narrow. Some of these other colors owners have their cars painetd hopefully was for their personal satisfaction and not to enhance the value b/c it hardly ever does. My personal guess is unless someone falls in love it's at least a 20K deficit right now.
