    Is Beige Grey A Rare Color?

    Looking at a 73 Coupe in original Beige Grey color. Anyone know if Beige Grey approximate percentage of Beige Grey 911's produced in 73?

    Thanks Paul,

    However that example was a one (or two) off of Beige Grey Metallic...

    73ess,

    I think the standard solid Beige Grey #622 is one of most hansom of the neutral understated early colors Porsche made available...

    Here's a couple of pics of my buddy Lars' beautiful '73 1/2 T ... This car is a show stopper everywhere it parks....

    Cheers and hope it's a right car,
    Chuck

    Did someone say "Mouse Grey?"

    When we were building my dad's car my dad looked at Lars' 73T one day at the shop and fell in love with the color. So he copied it.

    Thanks to Randy Wells for the two good photos...
