Photo challenge - 1977 mint metallic green

I've heard this color was bigger in europe, Mint metallic green was apparently a stock Porsche color for 1977. Would anyone have a picture of such a car?

I've seen that color a couple times. It was on mid year Euro cars. Hope someone has some pics cause it's a gorgeous color.

nope was referring to a 77s that the owner described as being painted a factory Porsche color rare in north America. Apparently quite striking. Umm keep the photos coming the pea green is ummm well I've managed to eliminate from my color choices so thanks.

You sure about the name? I have nothing that lists that color for that year, or any year close. Lot's of greens, just not one with that name.

A '77 Targa on Fleabay now that is listed as that color. I've seen a few - a nice color on a 911!

Nope, not sure at all! But it does look "minty fresh" if only in color and not condition...

I always wondered why Porsche didn't come out with the wood grain look....Now I know.

It was a funny a** movie. And wasn't that the one where Christy was whoring around, before Peter did it in real life.

ok I found it searching googe.de ... mother of all green Porsche sites as well.. suffice it to say it's not the color for me but a minty cool color anyway... here it is as close as I can figure..Mint Green Metallic (may be Silver Green Metallic, Code 250/266) Looks like the steal of a deal on e-bay is the same.



and the link to a good list of green machines

This looks Radium Green looks awsome on a 356
