It is a factory color. My Buddy in NC has one the same color with original paint. He will check the paint code for me.

Very cool color...is your buddies' for sale? Looks like he may have extras... ; )

TOMDEG

Unfortunately no. He's very proud of that car (it was partially on the cover of Panorama recently, that's a poster of it behind the car) and it has been local to him since new. What you can't see are the gold Fuchs that really look unique

He's trying to get one of each year 930. .

Tom,

Did Cam give you the paint code yet ?

TOMDEG

Not sure who Cam is, but my buddy checked the codes. On the COA it's listed as EMERALD GREEN/Y9

Door jamb lists 264-9-3

The Baron

Door jam code of 264 is correct but I wonder why they have a
"Y9" on the COA after the color.

Y9 is the option code. The badge in the door jamb shows paint code, paint factory/location, paint manufacturer.

There is a thread on pelican that talks about this somewhere. Here: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsc...ode-plate.html

Emerald green/Diamond green are relatively common 930 colors. On page 1 of this thread there is a photo of a lime green car next to a speedway green one.

Pretty sure viper green wasnt an option after 73. The starkey book probably has this list in it.

when I was growing up, a Dr in GA had an ice green 79 930 - i loved that color - personal plate was IX XXX

also saw an oak green 930 that was being serviced in KC with the plaid interior - incredible color combo.

I'd like to have a 79 with the M42 martini stripe option

The Baron

Thanks Bert !

This "Broker" (ie: scumbag used car dealer that knows nothing) describes this car as "concours" and "unmodified" which it is not.

With only a brief glance, I notice 10 things wrong with this car;

1. headllight squirts are from '79 later not correct for '77
2. Headlights are incorrect for '77
3. passenger mirror is incorrect on '77
4. Carpet should be green NOT black (as stated in ad)
5. Ad states that cars has perfect OE 15" fuchs yet photos clearly show 16" Continental tires .... well, which is it?
6. Decklid-Turbo tail are from '78 later not correct for '77 (as stated in ad)
7. Turbo script is incorrect for '77, should read Turbo Carrera for ALL '76 &'77
8. Tail lights are incorrect euro examples
9. Rear bumper is incorrect (as stated in ad)
10. Factory emissions hoses and valves are missing.

It seems to be a pretty car but I never trust a guy that states that the car is "concours" and "unmodified" and his own photos prove he's either uneducated or a liar ......... neither of which is acceptable since his website states that they are "German & Exotic Auto Remarketing Specialists"

It will take +/- $10k to make this car truly "concours" !

Pretty color though !

JimGinKC

do like that color. if the seats were original, wouldn't the door panels also be plaid?

budge96

hey Chuck, as I assumed with a quick glance, wheels,tail,seats and lights might be a deal breaker
even if it does have one helluva' repaint.
Well their certainly only original once..Bert

The Baron

Good point! Every car (and photo) I 've seen has both front and rear seats and doors in plaid.

BUT ....... after ordering several GT3RS in the past four years, I have learned that every single item is an option with leather, deviated stitching or carbon options. You'd think that you'd get the whole deal when you order leather, carbon or stitching but not the case. More $ for PCNA and the dealers when it is ala carte'.

Seats seem to be original but as Jim pointed out, what about the doors and rear seats ?

blacklotus99

You would probably find this interior is correct. There were a lot of C3s, SCs etc with the fabric seat inserts (plaid, tweed etc) and black elsewhere. Interiors on early turbo cars were all no cost options as leather was standard, you could have pretty much any combo you liked.
