Post Porsche color called Casa?? red. something like that.

Pics I have are hard to see. Owner (broken english) says the color is....Sounds something like "casa" and the word "red" is clear. I would like to know what the proper name of the color is and I would love to see a pic of a porsche that color.
Oh! by the way he states it is an original Porsche color. 1987 911

Here are the reds in '87

Color ................................. Color Code

Guards Red ........................... LM3A/L027/80K
Crimson Red .......................... LY3E
Maraschino Red Metallic Clearcoat .. LY3V
Carmine Red ........................... L80F

I'd say the closest sounding to Casa is Crimson. But check the color code.

My colors/trim brochure from 1987 only lists Guards Red, Carmine Red and Cassis Red Metallic. Not sure about the Crimson and Maraschino.

My '87 coupe is of the Cassis Red Metallic variety...


An interesting color that can change slightly depending upon the light...



and here's one more of a cab at Hershey that is posted over on the Pelican board...
