You might try contacting Griot's Garage. The car could be part of Richard Griot's collection.

See if he, or someone there, would provide the color info. Or history of the car.

Just a thought.

paint it regular orange, well a real Porsche color and NOT metallic.

that paint looks like some 5-'s hot rod.

Looks a little like Nordic Gold. Here's a 997.2 Targa in that color.

That color is fantastic. If I had to paint my car right now, I'd be asking for the code, too.

I agree - contact Griot's Garage and ask them for the code.

You could get Orange Pearl Metallic as a special order color on the 930 - think it was early 80's.

There was also a salmon metallic - but it looked a little more pinkish

The other car looks like Ice Green Metallic Y8Y8

That one in Griot's was a "paint to sample". See Handbook #310 (About Our Cover Cars - Having Fun - Griot's Garage)

However, as kcheves said, it also looks very close to a more modern color #LM2Z Nordic Gold Metallic.
