I went, I saw and I bought it.. I think I did well. It needs a lot of things.. interior pieces, 4 new tires, seals, fluids needs to be drained etc etc.. I didn't even get to test drive it, I was afraid the test drive would do harm on old fluids and stale gas.
I looked up the vin decoder, looks like from factory it has sports seats and I could not for the life of me find the paint code, looks like a special color code? Anyways, I've attached some pics...thabks again for the info.







. enjoy !

found it.. Beige Grey I believe, correct me if I'm wrong. 622-9- 2 is the paint number, is this a custom color?

Congratulations on the purchase! You're going to love it.

Porsche Club of America has a color website call Rennbow where you can look up the factory colors for each year and model, and also look up the colors themselves and find out when they were offered. According to that site, beige grey was offered on 911s from 1966-1973. So it most likely was a special order color for your car, but not custom (that would be Paint-to-Sample, PTS). They also claim it is a rarest of the rare colors: https://www.rennbow.org/porsche-colors/BeigeGrey

When you get yours cleaned up, you should upload a photo of it there. The only examples they have now are long-hoods.

no.. he priced it fair as it does need some cleaning up and 4 new tires, not to mention back fees from DMV.
