Looks like the code is 415.   http://www.356-911.com/modelinfo/911colours/911colours.htm

And it also looks like 62 ragtop was faster than me   :D
Now for the big question, what is mr Lid painting Sepia Brown?

Not my 67, not for now anyway. But i can try it on my 03 first, then if i like maybe in the future

Dam nice car that one ....Are you the lucky owner?

BeetleBug

Yes, its mine...  :D

Thanks for the nice pictures Dirk. Your car has been my favorite looker for years now

Personaly, I love this color, but I bought a 67 a month ago ... I have Gasburners, and I don't want to do same sedan than Xavier D.A.S.'s one.  ::)
So I try to find an other color but without succes ! :'(
If anybody have another "paintbox link" !  :P

thank's  :-*

Hi Max,

owning a 67 is a good reason to paint it sepia brown! Why? Because Xaviers beetle is actually a very late modell, just converted – very professionell by my old buddy Michael Hess – into a 67 lookalike and Dirks beetle is a 67, but a 68 modell year. So it used to have the square bumbers and all these things but is also very correct converted into a "real" 67.

So yours would be the only true sepia brown 67!  ;D

But, to get more serious: Check the Porsche colors from the 70s, there are more very nice beige and brown shades!
Cheers,

Georg

BTW, what's your real name? Maxime?

 ;D
That's Maximilien !!  :o
My 67 is a Standard from 1967 Juin 26th !!  8)

I saw all the Porsche Colors from a 70's ... I search more ! ( but now like some Brown or Green like Dave Rhoad )

That's dose it mine : "BTW" ?

Hi Maximilien,

"BTW" is short for "by the way"!

And regarding the colors: have you checked the VW colors? There are a lot of nice shades and many of them are not that common!
Cheers,

Georg

just looking in all magazine i've ,to know the reference of the color of dave rhoad's car ,but nothing they said : only the green paint of the car....  :-[ sorry maxxx

Dave told me the Paint was Jave Green,i spoke with him Avon Park 96.

Magne – to be honest – that is never ever java green on Daves car. I saw the car six years ago at the Classic and the color is comletely different from Andis car – and that is definitely java green!

I just talked to Steve Beecher and he told me that his original paint '64 is dove grey, but there is no color as dove grey in the VW color charts. It must be fontana grey, that was available on beetles in '64. So never trust the (american) owner! Just kidding!  ;)

Stop the violence dudes  ;D

I find my futur color !! ;) Enough, after 2 months search ( when I know I buy my 67 standard )...

Thank's guys for your help ... :-*

For Dave Rhoad's color, sorry but it's soo rare than only Dave rhoad can use it !  :P
 ;D ;D ;D
