HI,
Does anybody know what colors the 1973 RS came in? Also, where can I find info on the colors of the 1966 911's and 912's? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!!!

Try the Porsche 911 red book, it has a lot of info and it is available everywhere.

Thanks for all your help, just picked up the 911 red book...is there any way to find out what the original color of my car is, maybe by the VIN...?

There should be a small plate on the driver's side pillar, if you still have it, that should give you the color code, if it has been removed, you may have to take the car apart to try to find the original color.

Try and take a peek under the dash, speaker shelf, or under the speaker shelf in the engine bay.
