Hey, I just have a few different questions that I thought someone would be able to answer on here easily. I have a 1971 911E. My questions are:

-I think my car is painted blut orange. How do I kno this is the color for sure? Does anyone still make this color paint that you can buy for like touch up work?

-Does anyone know what size the fuel tanks for these cars are?

-And can anyone explain to me how the radio in the car works(factory)? Like what fuse is it connected to and in which fuse box.....when I turn the radio on I hear some static and the speaker comes on...the atenna does not go up though.

Thanks...any help is appericated!

The paint code is on the driver side on a tag by the top door hinge.

Fuel= 16.3 gallons or 62 liters.

Are you sure you have an electric antenna, most don't.

Hey, Nice model and one of my favorite years! What side is your antenna on? Manual is on the left and I believe if you have the electric it should be on the right fender.

It has a wire going to the iginition and to the antenna from the ignition switch. Would that help at all?

Thanks for the other info as well!

Thanks for the link! I looked at the tag and it read 2323-G...and I matched it up with the paint code on that site...and it is blut orange. Does anyone know if you can still buy this paint for touch up or something close to it?

Thanks!
