1975 Color codes

[930cabman]

Google has tried to help finding the color 936 - 9 - 3 for my near original 1975 911S, but have found nothing but blanks.

It appears to be a light Ivory, but not a Grand Prix white

I do not have the COA

thanks

Curious as to your source, I have tried to blend in GP White, very different

936 is Silver Metallic.
908 Is GP white.

Was the car resprayed with a ivory white color at some point?

It sure shows no signs of a respray and is definitely not a silver, but does have the "madras" seats and door panels. Does not have the dash plaque.

Now I am curious

936 is always silver metallic!
need at least the VIN to learn more. There was some shenanigans with 936 in 1975 with the Silver anniversary editions. They had a peculiar paint & interior combo but the actual badge code and the sales code did not match. Dash plaque was supplied loose and often not installed, not to mention that they were not matched to any car, but supplied in bulk to the distributors, then on to the dealers and finally to the buyers kind of willy-nilly.

Photos of the kunstharzlack and vin plate jambs would help.

The silver anniversary used a different interior exclusive to that car which was not Madras. It's a crazy tweed looking interior.

Silver metallic was available as a special order color in Model Year 75. What Madras? Blue or red? I'm guessing black/blue right? is your vin 911520XXXX?

Places to check for the silver paint, take a door panel off. or look under the carpets.

Yes, tweed, Not madras I recall seeing this fabric being available several years ago from a party in Germany

Appears to be original white, no sign of silver anywhere

Thanks all

Have you looked in the smugglers box?

no conclusive sign of either white or silver. some whitish overspray from the underside.

How much is a COA these days or PPS

[75 911s]

It's wildly expensive. Last I heard you have to take your car to a classics dealer and pay around 1k for verification. We have a classic's dealer here in Las Vegas.

Pull one door panel. Painters rarely get the inner door sprayed. If it's white, you have a true mystery. Does the paint badge look tampered with?

Remove a door striker. If it wasn’t super nicely prepped it will be original under there.

appears to be original, untouched

For a modest cost I can prepare a Report similar to the old CoA but with more data most of the time.
For a lower cost I can do something similar, but without engine & trans serial #'s, key codes.
I cannot guarantee complete data because the sources I use often have some data missing. This is true of the old CoA and PPS as well; the factory was not diligent in recording data on the Kardex cards nor in their computer records at least into the 17 digit VIN era. Even then some of the data is not correct. Any car with group options is a pain because the factory has no comprehensive list of the individual M options contained in the GO's. Similarly with custom paint & interiors, the recorded data only provides 99 codes and thus is no help in determining the original paint and interior choices. If the car has a paint badge or decal with a code, then that is helpful but does not guarantee a name for the paint color. I have researched paint codes and option codes for 40 years, and still get stumped often.

What color are the dots in the vin tag? This isn't about the condition of the artifacts themselves, but their environment. Since we cannot see the conditions, there's no way to help figure your paint's originality. I suspect you don't really want to know. But everywhere else 936 is Porsche silver.

Best of luck
