Early 911 Colors

[garth wagner]

Guys,
I am going through a repaint on my 67 911 and while I am getting deeper into this, I thought I would start a thread which would be useful for other members who may be going through the process of re-paint, or may in the future.
Since color brochures are hard to find or so old that the colors are dirty and faded and therefore not very accurate, I have been bouncing around the web (primarily on Google) searching sites for helpful info to determine the various early colors offered, and as importantly what they look like, since one rarely has a chance to see some of these colors, except at the rare Porsche meet, Ebay auctions, and chance occurrences on the highway.
The original color of my 67' is light ivory which is too bland for my taste buds. Therefore, I am looking at a repaint in a different color. I am usually a stickler for originality, but in this case, I am going to break with my instincts for re-sale value and go with a color I like instead, but preferably acolor hat is original for the year. According to the Peter Morgan book, there were nine standard colors and thirty special order colors for build years 1966/67 (Porsche also painted to sample. However, since these colors are undocumented, it is not possible to discuss these).
The stock colors were;
Slate Gray (6601)
Polo Red (6602)
Gulf Blue (6603)
Light Ivory (6604)
Bahama Yellow (6605)
Irish Green (6606)
Sand Beige (6607)
Aga Blue (6608)
Black (6609)
Attached is a color chart I found on the 912 registry site which shows the early 911 and 912 standard factory colors (912's offered the same colors).
