Burgundy would be my favorite.

Nothing makes a statement like a sublte Viper Green or Chartreuse!

Burgundy, but I'm biased.

If I ever got an early 911, it would have to be one of the vintage '70s groovy colors: Viper green, orange, the "safety" or "signal" colors, etc.

I love those colors on the early cars.

For real early 911 (66-67) it's gotta be "Bahama Yellow". That was the color of the first one I ever rode in (1967, Landstuhl, Germany). It only took me 30+ years to get one of my own ;)

It's called Aubergine, not eggplant, but I agree. It rocks. I officially voted for Tangerine though, since that's Scruffy's original color. :)

I vote for Bahama Yellow - period correct, reminiscient of a VW Bus color, and seems to glow like a sunset in the right light conditions.

Cheers!

Aubergine rules!

I was trying to find that green sporto targa pic from the early s registry site.

Slow 911, olive is way cool too. If that is your car...you are a lucky man.

jmohn, my first porsche was a 66 bahama yellow 912...1983 fresh outta high school. I loved that car.

Jim, me likes the wet look.
