    A SWB this time around

    I've got two LWB cars, but this time I thought a SWB might be fun. It's a January build 1968 911L. Two owners and stored since the 80's. Maybe some new fuel, a quart of oil and a quick wash ? �� I'll be needing some help from all you 68 experts.

    Thanks Scott. I’m still thinking about where. I’m in the Boca area in FL, so I’d need to find a good paint shop and possible engine work. I have places CT I use for my cars up north.

    Had to look up the word Catacolor as it didn’t translate from German. Of course, the answer came from Ed Mayo! (rundumverglasung = all-round glazing)

    I am in newberry florida, I paint cars, especially solid paint, I have restored and painted 14 cars. I actually have a sample of golden green. I can match colors perfectly.
    I gave you sample of gemini blue several years ago.
    I would love to clean up your car....tho I think the paint should be evaluated.
    but it is easy to see it was repainted...at least in the rear...as the hinges would be black...and your photos show overspray.
    is the car elephant hide inside?

    Great color indeed and is that kind of airco in the engine bay left side? Catacolor is tinted glass.

    Cool project.
