A factory-mislabeled 928? I think I have one.

Have a look at the door jamb pics in the 1st post in the thread, it's a late year-production 1980, it still has a 10-digit VIN- 92A0811642. It was the 8th to last 1980 US production car.

A few pix of my schwarzmetallic 82 928 in 1986 - 87.

My son Bob with his prom date Ginny




First PCA show. It won first place.

These pics were scanned.
Sometimes it looked dark grey, sometimes black. I don't recall ever seeing any brown in it.

I no longer put any faith into what Porsche claims with regard to what MYs they offered particular colors. This doesn't even include those dreaded "L999" cars that simply have a standard body color offered from an earlier or later model year.

That said, this does look like L708 to me.
I would prefer it to be, but that's just me. Maybe it's just the camera.

Edit: L451 (Mocha Brown) is a non-metallic color.

My 81 is Mocha Brown (sticker and my eyes say so) and the car in question looks nothing like it.

This isn't a rare color, find another one and park next to it.

Whatever people want to believe is fine with me.
Pretty sure that the car in the first post is the super rare Mocha Brown with metal flake added...and the different "more black than brown" tint added to the paint.
...Very, very close to Swarzmetallic
