Looks a little more darker/olive than Viper to me. I have a 997 RS in Green... not the same.

pretty sure it's Vipergrun/Viper Green/Emerald green
That car is an all-original and Emerald green was the only green anywhere close to that one.

Speedway looks closest, but Porsche may have used some other shade for the wheels and trim on the RS in '73.
