Hey! Nice Rack! "Celette"

Cooling shroud question
I'm on a learning curve and looking for some info. I have a 76 2.7S engine. It has a green shroud. I've seen black, red, green and resin shrouds. Is there a reason they are different colors? Can you identify engines by the color of the shroud? Just curious about the shroud colors. What's the story?

Porsche typically used different colors on different engine models. They could mean different things, depending on the era. Usually red was used for the top engine, green for the middle, etc. Your green shroud was also used on a 911E, when the 911S was the top model and used a red one.
Plain, unpainted shrouds were used on factory race cars. JR |

Thanks for the replies. Sounds like I have the correct shroud for the year and engine then.
