Mr 914: the pic you posted is a car named Kermit, which is what I meant by 'Kermit colored'. Search for it here, and you will find exhaustive pictures. One of the most beloved early cars and part of what triggered the movement to appreciate the early cars. I hope this car is that color underneath. I looks like it may be a slightly darker metallic green, but very hard to tell from the photos. In any case the seats were all tan or cork at some point, unlike kermit which has pasha inserts, I think. If it is light metallic green underneath, I think it makes it more interesting. I mean, that red paint is so toast that it has to come off anyhow, so why not bring it back in the original color it it is different that the red was not sprayed in the engine compartment.

unfortunately the person helping the owner sell thinks that green color on the doors is patina , and says the original color is red... I really dislike red cars, but I am considering buying it..

Red cars do not patina to green, ask for a pic of engine bay, under hood, and floor of rear hatch. This car was likely green at birth...or get the VIN, call the Porsche COA people - let them know you are buying a car but really need to know the color before purchase. If you are nice they sometimes will do it for you as a courtesy...

yeah,mi would have to agree with you.. The person helping the car is a lady with not a lot of knowledge about the car,,says she is selling for her uncle. Trying to fee up sometime and just take the drive with my tow truck driver friend..

Can she get you the VIN? I think perhaps we can tell from that.

I just got my 3rd one, it's still in the truck. I'm building a Geodesic Dome 24' foot garage. No laughing please.... http://www.desertdomes.com/tips.html using this calculator http://www.ziptiedomes.com/geodesic-...calculator.htm

This sad '79 in Seattle makes the one in Santa Barbara look like a steal:

Not sure I agree. The Seattle car is running. It is clearly a project, but a running car is always ahead of a non-runner in my view. The ask is optimistic though.
