Phil, ya noticed the time didn't ya? 
My mind swirls so much that sometimes I just can't sleep. My good camera was stolen recently so I was surfin the net for a good deal on the new Canon 20D and still wasn't sleepy yet so... did some Rennlistin before tying the snoozin thing again.

Now here is something cool that I took in Italy. The guy told me he had it painted in a Porsche color. It does look like something I have seen but he couldn't come up with a name.
Any guess as to what it might be?

Jerry's 901 is probably not the first 901 - it is one of the pre-production 901's built in 64' but the records get murky from there. The color is in question as well. the 993 is the last NA model - not 100% sure about any turbo's that were after it. check the DOT/EPA exeptions list for a differing view on the car (it was one of the exemptions listed)
-jerry feel free to set the record straight -
Mexico Blue - was also called Panamerican Blue (at least in 1969) - and is a little lighter than Rivera Blue -
Both awsome colors.....I would love to have one, it would be one of my first picks actually
my 1 rupee (in india right now)

Hey Rob,
How are ya?
Thanks for the definitive answer. I appears this question has finally been put to rest. Good work.
Cya,
Alan
AZ: You know I am not sure if this was a RUF car. It was a 996 RGTRS. I am pretty familiar with Mexico blue and it is not that. Mexico blue has much more grey in it. It is a more "dusty" blue.
My body shop guy has a 71 911s that he restored and painted Mexico Blue, very nice but a very distinct difference between the two.

i wouldn't say put to rest actually - that would depend on the documentation on the car. Personally, i hope it is the first - it is always great to see a car land in such good hands.
Great bookends either way....
Doing pretty good actually - just looking for a gig that doesn't make me travel so much (east coast preferable) - shameless plug
