I have a 1965 MY 911 specially ordered from the factory in a 1966 colour Aga Blue 6608.
Just wondered, are there any others out there?

Not another 1965 MY car to my knowledge. It is rather unusual for a car to be painted with the next model year color. I would love to learn a lot more about this one. I'll PM.
Dave my 65 912 (350286) also had a 6607 paint codeQuote:

Thanks Felix. Do you happen to have photos of the paint badge, the dash and a COA or Kardex? I have a healthy scepticism of the data on that website. I prefer to have documentation to support the data in cases where there may be some question of validity. Certainly, the many changes from 65MY to 66MY makes it difficult to ascertain the correct model year.
here we go... it`s a 27000km carQuote:

To my understanding, there are no color codes that start with prefix 65. Early 65 cars used 356 colors with prefix 64 for standard colors. The first color chart showing 66 prefix was printed in May of 65. I have a COA for a 65 911 built 5-25-65 with color code 6602, Polo Red, so they were starting to use 66 colors on true 65 cars as early of May 65. This explains the Sand Beige/6607 on the very early 912 of Felix; 912s began production in the "spring of 1965." Why did they start using 66 colors so early in 65? Only someone involved in the factory at that time can answer these types of questions -- time is running out to find such persons!
looks like you are right here..not a single 65xx paint tag on the 912VIN data baseQuote:

Sorry about the name! At least your dad didn't call you Sue! (old Johnny Cash song).
I took a closer look at my COA for the Polo Red/6602 911 and although COA clearly states production date of 05/25/1965, the 302122 chassis number lines up with an August 65 build date as an early 66 model. I know they built these cars out of sequence, but most likely this is another example of inaccurate COA. In any case, the 66 color chart was printed in May of 65 and the factory could have offered these colors early.

Anyone with another '65 MY (ie pre factory summer shutdown) in Aga Blue?
just had a look at the copy of the german fahrzeugbrief(title) of 350286... it says date of first registration 9th of july 1965
350285 had a date of June 24, and the Aga blue car has a similar date. So 350286 would likely also. That fits nicely with registration July 9. Thanks for all the info on 350286 Franz. We should look at getting the Kardex for it. Thanks Tim for providing me with the info on the Aga Blue car. Great documentation. Perhaps with the early introduction of the printed color chart for 1966 there was some demand for the new colors 6607 & 6608.
maybe the old "Cristopherus" should be looked up again, to find anything written about "preorder possibility" or availabilities of color codes.
The factory seemed to have it announced like in the 901/911 early color discussion

Somewhere I read that 300037, a Ruf car, was also Aga blue. However I do not know if that was it's original color.
Ruf's 300037 is Bali blau (6412).
The only MY65 911 I have seen in Aga blue is 3014xx which has been delivered by AMAG in Schinznach-Bad.
Is it yours?

Yep, that's the one. Heavily modified for the 'turbo look', in an age when everyone wanted the racing look and early cars weren't worth a plugged nickel.
Your car has great potential.
Now it is in good hands.
