The stripe looks more red than orange in the photos

Well, those blue license plates look black in the photos.

Rev Institute one is awesome. Race history and unrestored. Though any would be nice!

I don’t think it’s #11. It never had stripe, front horn grill, engine grill or gold detail on engine lid. Original owner of 11 kept it till 72 like Hugh said. Here are contemporary pic of 11 when Manix owned it I believe. G

Mannix car is 100% 11899011.

considering the weight of the paint. (because someone mentioned the black interior of the "R".)(and how much would paint really weigh?)
i had a 911. that I stripped the paint off with a chisel. remarkably, that method, this time, just seemed to work really fast. the paint was unusually horrible, so I had to do it.
it just came off in very large flakes..I had most of the car done in a few hours....but over a couple weeks got more of the paint off. I swept up the pieces and put them in a box so I could weigh them.
it was mostly just the exterior paint in the box.
in the end, the paint was 8 pounds.

# 13 could be a good candidate.
It seems that it was white originally and delivered in the USA, for Michael Green.
@gva-sfo Which one do you think this was?

[HughH]

@gva-sfo. I would be interested in your view on that as well. Samuel My records show that #13 was originally grey for Green and he had to wait extra time for it to be painted but was changed to white after that by another owner.

Kardex says 13 came from factory in white, I think it was painted after delivery. All were white except 15, gold, 20 blue, and prototypes in red and yellow.

Seems to me that only R11, R19, and R20 were running around SoCal back in the day. R11 was never modified with horn grills and engine grill. R20 was owned by Bert Olander at that time and retained its original Reventlow blue.

R13 was delivered to the East Coast presumably to Peter Goodwin and it sayed back East with Michael Green into the 1970s.

My cards are on R19.

They look black to me, too. Only problem is that blue plates start with the numbers first and then the letters. Black plates start with the letters first then the numbers.
Probably a very early attempt to fake black plates by painting blue plates black if, in fact, they are black. Who in their right mind would do that?
