Maverick Marktpreis: Porsche Rennbow

As we celebrate Women
Mavericks this month, I couldn’t
help but notice their pcars in the
featured articles. The ladies brought
some fancy, bright, and uniquely
colored Porsches. Most people
would agree, colors have an effect
on value. While some rare colors
may increase a Pcar’s perceived
desirability, it may also severely
reduce its marketable audience
size. So, is a Paint-to-Sample (PTS)
pcar more expensive than a black
or a silver one in the collector car
market? Perhaps. I, for one, sure
enjoy the uniqueness of them.
To learn more about Porsche
colors, I encourage you to visit
National PCA’s Rennbow site. The
site touted that “Rennbow is the
largest collection of Porsche images
on the web, organized by color.
You can see a giant color chart and
images of nearly every color ever
offered by Porsche.” Currently, they
have identified and categorized 504
colors! You can also submit images
of your pcars to be added to their
database. https://www.rennbow.org/
Recent auction results of rare,
colorful pcars are listed below for
your review. May you dream in
Rennbows!
