That 911 appears to be Aubergine or perhaps Lilac, I'd need to know the paint code. These colors were current in the period 1970 to 1974 and perhaps later.

When the IROC series first began they used Porsche 911's which were painted very bright colors. I can't remember, but I bet there were some pink, fuschia, or rasberry colors used. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

The car was repaint Aubergine, I belive it originally was Lilac as can be seen in the truck pic and center tunnel. I'll try to get the code for you. |

I nominate this thead for Classic status! All the years I've owned 914's I never knew such outragous colors were available. I think the discussion is casting light a whole new direction for research. Coming from a body shop background and painting thousands of cars the same blues, burgandys and vanilla ho hum, I'm really enjoying this exchange.
I had a nice chat with Davep on the phone last light. Dave is a very interesting guy. BTW; it sounds like someone he knows may have done a 928 conversion in a 914. I told him it's another Alien sighting until we have pictures. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/assimilate.gif) |

Thanks Rick, it was a real pleasure talking to you. The period colors were rather funky, and many I like better than the current lot.

well, than you're going to enjoy this bit of information i got from a former employee at the factory in weissach ... turns out, ferry porsche had a thing for those bright, psychedelic colors. my source tells me that during the prototype phase, he often ordered the cars to be painted in "outragous" colors and color combinations. that's how #4 got it's lilac interior/trunk color ...

I thought that it was Ferdinand Piech that liked the starnge colors. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

It took me forever to do the research, but I have come to the following conclusion. These cars were painted for a pair of Gastroenterologists. That had a partnership and did some medicine development on the side. It seems that the Dr. Pepto and Dr. Bismol purchased these cars as gift to one another.
So Rick you must have Pepto and Jason must have Bismol. Congratulations, the mystery is solved. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |

That 911 is probably Lilac. It certainly ain't Aubergine.

I sent DuPont an email last week. I got a call from a paint tech today. He didn't have a clue about the Raspberry color. Once I gave him the link Davep listed to paintscratch.com he was able to find a code that he thinks will match.
The code is 33768 only available in Centari or their Nason acrylic enamel paint systems. I'm going to the local Dupont supplier to have a pint mixed. I want to spray out some test panels. |

Rick if you can send me a small sample of a painted panel, I can verify it is my color too. THX |

Here's a picture of the IROC cars including the Strawberry Pink car that was driven by David Pearson and Al Unser. This car later won the 1980 SCCA Trans AM Championship.

Will do. It won't be for month or so. I'm working late everyday for the next several weeks. I have no time and no life. |
