Paint code 463 on a 930

[drola]

I picked up a 1980 930 with paint code 463 casablanca beige metallic.
Looks to me like a rare color.
Is there a way to find out how many other 930’s came in this color in 1980?
I have a feeling this is a rare bird

Redbook says 463 was a standard color in 79 but not 80.

this website says it is: Porsche Color Codes - 463 model/year code 463 Cross-Reference

Yep. You are correct. I read the 1980 production start date on the next page and it refers to 1981 MY not 1980 MY. Just got my wires crossed.

Says 840 930's produced (assuming I have the right year). There can't be many of them in the 930 variant.

I don't recall ever seeing a breakout of counts by color.

Anyone know?

I don't know the count, but I've only seen two #'s463 in person over the last 32 years of ownership - mine, and one other. I did see one in the lot of the Porsche dealership in the movie "Scarface".

Have a gander at this site if you are curious/are so inclined:
