Help with leather color code

maxhofer · 03-12-2009, 07:44 AM

My car is a 1985 Turbo-look Carrera 3.2

The color codes on the white sticker are L999 PT

I believe the exterior code L999 is supposed to be "Match to sample".

I wanto to restore the leather seats but I dont know which is the correct leather color for my car.
Does anyone know what interior color the "PT" code stands for?

Thanks in advance,

Max H.

There were only 5 or 6 interior colors offered. If you post a pic, we can tell you easily which one.

Max, I found the PT code in my handy-dandy authenticity book.

PT is the interior code for "special leather with leatherette belt line". I'm not sure what "belt line" means, but the code specifies the interior as:

Champagne leather seats, bolsters and trim
Brown dashboard, sills, and rear shelf
Black headliner
Brown carpet

Thanks Dave!!!!

I had searched the online sources but wasn't able to find the PT code.

I'll be ordering Champagne color die for my restoration.

Best Regards,

Max.
