Color Code Decoder for 911SC

[lotuspete]

Is there somewhere on the web that lists all of the color codes and coresponding name of the exterior color?

I've got a '79 911SC with a code of 132 that is a sort of Iight Ivory color and I am looking for the official color's name. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Are you sure it is not 182 - Chiffonweiss?

Maybe I misread the number and it is Chiffon White, I'll have to look at the code again tomorrow.

Thanks, Brian

Hi, It is definitly not 182 Chiffonweiss. The number clearly reads 132-9-1. Could this be a special order color-to-match-sample? Can anyone help? One place of the web were we can decode these paint code numbers would sure be great. Thanks, Brian

PM me your VIN and I will do a lookup see what it says.

Porsche's database and documentation has varied over the years so sometimes it is difficult to find information on cars over 25 years old.

I'm new to this forum and not sure I know how to PM. I tried to send an email but not sure it went through.

Got it and I sent a reply.

Loren,

Thanks for your help. I dug a little deeper in my "911 Red Book" and found that #132 was called "Ivory" and was a special order color for '72 and '73. I am told that if you had a color number and made the request, Porsche would paint your car in that hue even if the color was not officially availble for that year.

Also, does anyone know the official name of the "natural" color leather seats? Cork by chance?

5AT Cork was a color for 1979.
