Looks like CPR finally finished the Gemini Blue S

I know a bit about the '72E. The tach in the photo was probably installed when in about 2006 the original tach failed and a temporary one was put in, though it was supposed to be replaced with the repaired original. The photo on the CPR website was taken when the car was newly taken in by the company (as the website implies) and prior to "sympathetic restoration" work now ongoing. They ordered a correct tach early on in the process.

These were the photos offered to me by a prospective buyer. I think an Asterisk or notation should have been available if they were changing it out. Hard to "un-ring" a bell.

Nice in staying politically correct...

6603 is GULF Blue in English, if you translate Gulf in regards to geography from English to German it would be GOLF. I have factory advertizing brochures that back these descriptions up. Another way to look at that is what the golf world is universally blue?

I think the early GULF blue color#6603 was in regards to the Gulf of Mexico or something as such, just like ADRIATIC Blue was in reference to another body of water.

By the early 70s the GULF Blue that most people recognize was Gulf Oil Co color as they sponsored Porsche racing by that point.

Mixing paint is a major PITA these days!
