Granite Green
I have an '87 Targa I would like to take back to stock. Originally Granite Green...anyone have a picture of this color on a car?

It all depends on the light.

Granite Green
It's clearly green in direct light - but looks grey in indirect light, or at night.

As Russ, and trader have stated, it really depends on the light. I personally love the color and as far as I know Russ has the closest Granite Green Car to me (you never see them, which is nice). Does anyone know how many were made?
Russ, your car always looks great in the pictures and the polished fuchs look nice with the color. Mine are still black since the Porsche budget had to be cut back for a few years until I finish degree #2. JS, post some pictures if/when you paint it.

I have dozens of pictures in all kinds of light, plus ones with and without the duck, and ones with stock fuchs and those polished petal fuchs, if you're looking for ideas on a granite targa and how it will look with different cosmetics. I also have pics next to my old forest green/gray 930 for contrast to that color.

Granite Green
Here's an 1988 factory wide body in granite green.
We brought the car with us from Europe where you see this colour from time to time. We have never seen it in North America. We have noticed that it does not photograph well. It looks much cooler in real life.

If you want I could check with the guy I sold my Targa in that color to and see if he might sell it.
