Curt, well all these details can get a little complicated: the color known as Viper green was actually called Emerald green in English for the '72 and '73 cars (Conda green in '71). The term comes from the German name "Vipergrun" used next to this color in the Factory Color Code and Material Sample Book for these years. The RS book by Gruber/Konradscheim uses Viper green to label this color for the RSs.
The late style 7x15 Fuchs pictured on this car became available in 1971 (or earlier) and were used on the front of some competition 911s in '72 (see historic Brumos 911 photos). Although they did not make an appearnce on commercially available 911s until the '73RS, there are late 7x15s with '71 stamper numbers on the back, so these could be considered "vintage" wheels.
