Help

Good Morning, I am trying to find the number of 1974 Porsche Carrera's painted in "Orange" that were produced for the US market. Any information would be appreciated.

It might be 'signal orange'.

Search color codes for the pcars. There used to be several great websites.
A paint site like PPG/etc might even have the specific levels of mixes.

Won't tell the production number. Paul is right, factory. Porsche North America might know but that entity has changed some over the years from what I know. So some records might be archived or non existant.

I would inquire with them to see. I've read that they've become somewhat stuffy for COA's. Just heard (probably here), don't know for a fact.

Funny. An Orange Carrera is on the top of my list of “ones that got away.” $7500 I think was asking.
