My old man is looking for a particular color....

It's from the early to mid 70's, and it was brown. The only thing he can remember is that it was really rich in color. Post any pics of brown cars, and then maybe I can finally find the car wants to buy and get him in the club

A short session with the search button should net you a
hundred pics of brown 911's. Hope you get him hooked!

I believe Sepia was the Porsche color for the darker brown.

If you are traveling at the speed of light & turn on your headlights, does anything happen?

I think this is the color you're looking for.

check this link for 911/912 paint colors from 65 to 69, then 76 (all the 912 years) but I think you'll find what you want as well as the paint mix code.

Here's a thread started a couple weeks ago about brown 911s. Have your dad take a look at these cars and see if one is painted the brown he remembers.

post a pic of your light or dark brown 911

Your dad's in good Company; Dr. Ferry Porsche loved brown ones too and that's why there are so many brown tones in the P-pallette.
