If you have a 75 Targa the correct code for Guards red is : 027 via the porsche red book, that code is used all the way to the 90s per what the book says. 1990 it changes to 80K , in 93 went to G1. Dont see a listing for the code you provided.

The colour code corresponds with India Red in some of the later years on that website so something doesn't seem to be right.
I saw a number of cars with g-red and tan interiors when I was shopping...They look very good together IMO.

My original paint 1987 Carrera is code 80K- Indischrot (indian in english). When I went to the PPG paint store to get a pint of touch up paint all they had listed was G-1. I bought it and it matches perfectly. Guards Red, India Red, Indian Red- all the same.
