I like it - looks like it has some metallic in it. I generally like to see browns with some red in them (burgundy) or goldish metallic tones... |

Here's my 77s Targa in the Chocolate Brown. The PO had it repainted and I think it is slightly "creamier" in color than the factory color.
 I bought it in my early 20's and wasn't thrilled about the color, but it had all the updates done on a $8000 rebuild, it was a Targa and of course a 911! Older people really like the color and now that I'm becoming older(41) it has grown on me.   I really like the Cork interior though. Rutager |

Thats a deal. I knew you would see this at some point. How about some soap and water on the bugs plastered on your front bumper  Theres some pretty funny stuff and a couple nice cars if you search for paint code 451 also. There is one from a few years back that looked like yours.

The other nice thing about a brown Porsche, is the cops are always looking for the red ones, and we just go unnoticed!

I'm sure some of you have seen this before, but I still thought I'd share.
I took this:  and turned it into this:  My car is a paint to sample car, but it's in an identical shade to "Bitter Chocolate" from the '75/'76 color palate.  jay 08 987 90 964 84 911 |
