    How'd you find it?

    Don:

    Although I am curious as to what you paid also, it's fair that you keep that confidential.

    But I am curious as to how you found it. I would love to come upon one of these babies. I think that the story is just as much fun as looking at the car pix, which are just great!!! Glad to see another Viper Green join the land of the living, even though it is a coupe!!

    Love to hear the details.

    Somtimes the stories are not so impressive. I actually found the car on a non Porsche website. I called the gentleman and bought the car. Sorry no mysterious stories about the mythical S that was rumored to be in a barn somewhere. I like those stories too.My 68 Rally on the other hand took two years to get.....

    Best,

    Congrats on that beautiful find...and for me a trip along the 7 emotional stages of hearing about it;
    1. Shock
    2. Jealousy
    3. Awe
    4. Desperation
    5. Lust
    6. jealousy
    7. Happiness that it's in good hands

    "it must be Conda green and not viper green?"

    Does the Kardex actually list Viper Green? I thought Viper wasn't created until after 1969.

    Well Martin you could be right about it not being VG. After a little digging Conda, Viper/ Kelly were not availible in 69. Signal green code217 was. So I guess that is what it is.I do not have the car in my possesion yet let alone the kard to confirm anything. Viper is actually the RS color. Emerald/Kelly Green was for the rest of the 911s. Same code as Viper though. I learned about greens today!!

    Best,

    Don
