Hmmmm.... Interesting. I'll have to check into this further.

First, it's a '69 model year. VIN #, engine, tranny all match, not to mention flared fenders, and other goodies. Maybe the '68 is actual year built

Second, it is currently grand prix white, quality respray, although not bare metal. Where you can see the old paint, it's ivory. Maybe it had a bare metal respray to ivory, eventually repainted to grand prix white? Since I've had the car 15 years, I wonder why it had so much painting in it's first 17 years of life?

Better get the Porsche birth certificate. If it was meant to be Irish Green, I might start saving for bare metal repaint back to original. I love Irish Green esses.

I always wondered about the original color and assumed it was ivory. Glad I asked....
