Will cost an arm and a leg (maybe 2.. Porsche style), but what a looker.

Love the Jewish Racing Gold color.
Wow. That could easily be interpreted as a strongly offensive comment. Did you mean something else or were you just trying to be funny?

It's actually a fairly prevalent - if somewhat dubious - and long-standing term in car circles. As to whether this is exactly JRG is debatable in itself.
Thanks for the clarification. Not a comment I've ever heard in Porsche fan circles in California but a good reminder this a global forum. Still find it offensive personally but there are lots of slang terms that have dubious origins that society has forgotten. Meanings change over time and are different in different countries.
It's the reason I asked instead of attacking the commentator.

The JRG term is not meant to be offensive. It's just that this particular color was very popular with the Jewish community in the 1960's-1990's. In those days, you often saw Volvo's, Mercedes, BMW, Jaguars in this color or something similar such as Champagne, glossy brown, or metallic brown.

building his car, which would result in the Porsche 356.
