I am thinking about purchasing a 1978 Porsche 911sc with ice mist metallic paint. I was wondering if anyone knew if this was a rare color and if it would affect the cars value? Also how much would a very hi mileage unit be worth if it needed some interior work, (front seats, maybe carpet) Car has factory Fuchs, runs good.

Not familiar with that color name and it doesn't show up in the Red Book. Do you have pictures or color code?

not on the glasurit web site either

personally I don't think paint colour will have any impact on resale of a 30 year old high milage car

Repaint or special request?

I was interrested in a 944 turbo that had a really nice light/mist green metallic. I think it had ice or glacier attached to the name it was 1986 thru 1988, cant remember the year. I have not seen a 911 in that color, but if it is a stunning as the 944 it would be killer.

This I believe is "Ice Blue."

There was an ice green metallic 1974-77. Paint codes 250 and 266 depending on the year.

Ice green metallic is what I think you're talking about. It was a great color but was not seen often in those days.

The paint code is 266-9-3 Ice Green[Ice Mist Green]. Special Order Color. Just found a link from Pelican parts. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?t=425449

Any idea on what the car would be worth with high mileage? ( regardless of paint color )

Too many variables...PPI, interior/exterior condition, rebuild, head studs, etc.
Not to mention economy right now. Could be anywhere from $6k to $20k.

Thanks guys, I think I will pass on this vehicle. It needs paint and some interior work. It did recently have compression numbers which came up good but we all know how quickly things start to add up....
