Looks like a 3.2 Carrera. I don't know if it's a 915 or G50. Here are the possibilities according to the 911 Red Book. For the early models (84-86), possible exterior colors are slate blue metallic (661), quartz grey (662), meteor metallic (961) (which is a grey). For the later models (87-89), lagoon green metallic (35Y) (probably not), diamond blue metallic (697), granite green metallic (699) (probably not), slate grey metallic (22D), linen grey metallic (55), stone grey metallic (693).

All show burgundy for an interior color option.

I thought that at first too. But in the sun Diamond Blue puts off a pink/purple shade, so I don't think it is that.

looks like granite green to me - it photo's like that. It might be diamond blue - it has that smoky grey sort of color.

Is that the one on ebay claiming 'special order color'? If so, seller also says its a G50... in a 1985. Hmm. Regardless, color to me looks exactly like my recently-sold Targa, Meteor Gray metallic. (see Avatar)

On my window sticker, it didn't specify 'special order' though a couple inquiries were convinced it was. I think it was like a $360 option.

I was just noticing - since I "learned" the G50 cars have a MUCH BIGGER rear torsion tube access cover and are easy to spor from 100 feet away.... with those turbo stickers on the rear fenders I am guessing you have to remover those to access the torsion covers...never thought of it before but that is a consumable then and would have to be replaced (or left off on NB cars IMO)

The red button is a late-80's early-90's vintage LED from a Clifford Alarm.
I can't believe they would drill the steel dash panel to install a friggin' alarm.

When I was doing car audio/alarms in high school/college, we would flush-mount the led in a plastic panel that was easily replaced (and cheep to replace).

I couldn't believe that either, why would your drill a hole in the steel dash! Come on people! I see something like that and I wonder what else has been done to that car.

I checked miine and there IS an exsisting hole, its just covered by the dash cover...(push around, there are sever holes and squares under the cover)

so still ...if its an alarm that was pretty dumb - NO2 button would be smarter

Meteor Metallic (Gray) over Burgundy.

That's a 915 transmission ('86 or before). Large dash vents mean it's an '85 or '86.

So there you go.

The fader on the stereo gives it away, too. The know between the emergency flasher button and rear defrost.
