    Hi Haul

    That is the information provided by the Australian Porsche importer regarding an Australian Delivered 912 I asked for information on. We might have to get a copy of the Kardex to be 100% sure.

    Thanks, Cam

    Euroclassics has been known to order all sorts of off the wall colors. They have a Brewster Green Boxster GTS which is very pretty. Nice to see something other than silver or white.

    Flow (Charlottesville) had an Arrow Blue GT3 Touring. A real jaw dropper.

    Vipergruen Diamant

    Some additional info for this thread... relative to IB cars. I didn't see a later paint sticker in this thread, so included it here.

    I just purchased this '86 Carrera, which is paint to sample, and still have to do more research as I am told (by CoA) it is Viper Green Diamond. I know how the CoAs can be incorrect, so will do best to confirm this.

    Either way, I thought it was a pretty cool find, and have yet to see anything close to this, other than Griot's which appears to be Apple Green.

    Is there a paint badge and/or a paint code sticker to be found?

    Dave - not that I can find, but where might one exist? I haven't looked everywhere, but just saw a faded sticker in the passenger door jamb - maybe some sort of barcode.

    Scott, yours looks very similar to my '78 SC's color (#38 in this thread--on cover of an old Griot's Garage catalog). Mine has a paint tag "208" on the door. I've never been able to find out the actual name of the color. Viper green metallic is my closest guess, but I'm always open to more information. Bill
