    1969 Dark Metallic Green #6852

    Does anyone have a picture of this color?

    Thank you

    Hi,

    We painted this car in Met Green (8383) which is the paint code for Met Green 1970-72. For the 69 model the code is as you said 6852 and I believe is darker. I also have a 72 coupe being painted now in 8383 and will post pics once painted if that helps.

    For now here is the 69 Targa






    and when compared to ossi blue and Bahama yellow



    Hope that helps

    Alan -- that first photo of the gentleman and his son in the green targa is priceless. Sitting here at work (very dull today) I could not help but get a big grin seeing the smile on that fellow -- and it was clear in an instant: he has taken his son out for a cruise in a stunning classic Porsche and the weather is nice enough to take the top off! Life is good! You think that kid is going to want to own a Porsche one day?
    Regards,
    SCOTT

    I'll post better shots with proper lighting when I have a chance.
    the car is on its second respray of the original color.
    this color code is not graced with a photo of an example on the German site:

    http://www.elferhelfer.com/farben.htm

    it is not common...I wont say rare as this is over used/mis-used word

    and before you guys pick at this car, alot of this were being redone..WRONG this photo is before I saved it from future wrong doing...
    it has NEW regular trim however its all wrong for an S...
    I will correct the PO's mistakes and finish up this beauty

    that green 221 is actually 8383 also I just sold one
    recently and is not the same as 6852 and 62109 which is darker

    8383 is really a wonderful color up close and with daylight differences
    quite nice

    my 6852 is very different and much darker
    as soon as I can I will post good shots

    Hi,

    burgundyrot (burgundy) is not 221, must be a mistake
    Here is a pic from my 70-71 colour chart.

    Burgundy Targa 2410 & Coupe 2424




    Thanks

    Max,

    Here are a couple of Metallic green pics I have collected a while ago.
    I won't get into this unseemly squabble over the years or the correct numbers - just enjoy the pics !

    Cheers,
    Dennis.

    1971 2.2 911 S - now back in the UK - sob!
    1975 Carrera Targa (ROW) - missed.
    One of us is fast becoming a valuable antique.
