[YTNUKLR]

Not the rarest but Oak Green has always been one of my favs.

L33P - Iris Blue Poly (metallic) - only offered in '85 and '86.

Haven't seen another in person.

BTW, pictures are from P.O.

This is, in fact, the first time I've posted pics of the whole car!

WOW!! Fantastic Chris.

I think light blue metallic is a pretty rare color. I've only seen 2 others with the same color as mine. If I had to guess on the most common color it would have to be guards red.

L35Y -- Lagoon Green (Lagunengruen) Metallic, which I believe was available only in '87 and '88. I have never seen another one in person, but from this board I know that there are a couple around other parts of the country in the same color.

I think Continental Orange is pretty rare. I've had my car for going on 14 years and have never seen another one in person. I know of at least 2 other pelicans with Continental Orange cars and know of 2 others outside of Pelican, but that's it.

Orange cars ROCK!

How about a paint to sample blue that changes color in different lighting?

I thought the color was the same and just a name change.

Yes, presumably. Sorry for being such a nerd.

I have never seen one. Have a pic?

I do have a pic of my Lagoon Green Targa! It actually looks blue to me, but in different light it changes to various greenish-tints of blue.

My former 1959 356A coupe, the factory actually called it "orange".

John,

Your "Lagoon Green Targa" looks damn close to Hellblau Metallic.
Light blue metallic code 30T.

Hey Type911,

From these photos, it sure does look close! When I first checked the paint code on mine, I thought it may have been resprayed bluer; but in seeing photos of the Lagoon Greens that Massa, Swbsam, and Bearded Viking have, they look the same. Additionally, looking under carpet and such, it's the original color.

But there's something so much cooler about the name Hellblau than Lagunengruen!

P.S. are those 9s on the rear? they look great! I'm running 7s/8s, but someday I'll get a pair of 9s.

[Type911]

Hi John,

Yes 9's in the rear, 7's up front.

We once had a Targa painted Seamist Green. Don't know the color code but I have never seen another car painted that color.

[austin552]

Those 9's really fill the space and look great! Great shots of the car in different climates also.

what about Tobacco Brown? I'm not sure if that is the official factory color name, but thats what excelence magazine called it, and is the color of my 79 930. Haven't been able to find another one like it in my area yet.

[austin552]

Yes that is a 1979 factory color. It is a M.B. color also. Got a pic?
