Coinceidence?
A fella in my Marina has a pony tail like me, a daughter named samantha like me and a 1977 ice green 911s targa
also like me.
I would love a plum shade if it looked right. I know it's not factory but it would be unique.

I DONT REALLY HAVE THE CODE BECAUSE MY CAR IS IN THE BONDED TO DECLARE CUSTOMS.
ANYBODY HAS ANY IDEA ABOUT THE COLOR?
I AM ABOUT TO RE-REPAINT IS AS SOON AS IT COMES OUT AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE ONE WITH THE ORIGINAL PAINT.

Jim, is that your car? That is one of, if not THE, prettiest 911's I have ever seen. Really, I mean that. Awesome. It is almost a simple beauty, just the right amount of everything and an awesome color to set it off just right!

Nod to you!

How many Ruby Red's out there? Can someone tell me how many were produced in that color? How many in 1983 (mine is an 83 cab with grey-beige interior)? When did Ruby Red become an offical Porsche color?

Thanks

I agree with Chris that Iris Blue is pretty rare. I've only seen one other Iris Blue 911 in person, and it was a targa recently for sale at Ancira near Boerne.

No, but I'd love to own one just like that. Mine is a bit more subtle and it's purple...

Where is the paint code located? I have a guards red targa that I believe is the original color, but would like to know for sure.

in the nose, on your left hand (passenger) side about at hood level

WEll as far as rare colors go,, I think my Nougat Brown is on top the list. I think it was only a special order color in 87-88. there is one in FL (another Pelicanite) and I saw a cab for sale a few years back!!!!

I have seen a picture of a Lilac colored 1973 RS. I have been told that the car lives in Seattle somewhere. That is a rare color.

Randy Jones
1971 911 "Iris" (1995 Iris Blue Metalic on a long hood car is rare too)

[islandflyer]

sorry forgot the pic!!

[austin552]

I have heard that the 911 was available in 914 colors as well. Is this true???

[Les Paul]

kilodawg said kikn red was rare. Mine is a 76 turbo and they made them in 86 too. so add that to the 83 and 84 model years. A guy that used to post here Leland Pate had a mid to late 911 in that color too.
