I'm not sure why anyone would color change a 911 tobacco brown, period 70s color or not, I can't do brown. The teal seems to work on the car though.
Good luck with the project!

The tobacco brown is a bit odd but was interesting for me. It is a 1972 Mercedes color and the color of the first Mercedes my father bought new in 72. Still remember that car to this day. Dad tells the story of going to see my stepmothers parents for the first time. Her mother asked what color it was and my father proudly pronounced it tobacco brown to which my grandmother snorted up a big ol' lugie and spit on the trunk and then aske "That kind of tobacco?????"
Oh, the memories we have!!!
