What year is the car? If it is a 69-71 and not metallic, it looks like my 69T that was Ossi Blue. Hard to tell from the angle of the picture. Attached is a picture 30+ years old. My 69 T in Ossi Blue.

Looks like your car is being cleaned for a Concour!

They don't look like the same color to me.

The blue colors are definitely not the same after looking at them more carefully. My wife says I'm color blind...and maybe I am. The picture of my blue 911 was sent to me by edge01. I can't remember when it was taken. Possibly in mid to late 1970's. I was preparing for a concours at the War Bonnet tech Session at that time. Edgy01 was going through old pictures and found them and sent them to me. Thanks Dan.

The blues do look different. A cell phone pic, with 1/2 the car shrouded in shade doesn't make it easy.

looks like a pre-72 at a glance. Round mirror?

Yes, seems like a pre '72 to me.

This web site may help you id the color: http://www.elferhelfer.com/farben.htm

I suspect the car is a 70-71 based on the chrome horn grills and door handles.

Looks like a match.
