I think we were all just mooned by a bunch of Spyders.

Not a great swap meet.......I was hoping to sell more parts......:-(

Holy crap.
Richard, in photo P1030109.JPG, there is a green car on the left.
It's the tenth picture in the slide show: http://spydersite.shutterfly.com/7241#7232
I am always on the lookout for the paint color I'll want for the Sloppy Jalopy. There are several candidates on the list, many of which I think would go well with the orange and aluminum -- and I think you just added another.
Anybody know what color that crazy green is?

don't know - but it looks like it may be an original 'Gremlin' color....RickJ

So far, my list includes:

Gulf LeMans Powder Blue and Marigold Orange
1956 Porsche Racing Silver
Irish Green
Meissen Blue
Fashion Grey

and now, adding a little life to the list ...

Gremlin Blech!

Cory - Gray with red headlight spears like Carey's car.

EDIT: Or maybe orange spears to tie to the frame and roll bars.

Hey Rick, DannyP from the other side. Nice shot, looks like you guys had a good day!

Cory, perhaps this will help?

I have to call that one pea soup green Cory, cause that's what it looks like to me!

I may be doing the 911 in Albert Blue(kind of navy) in memory of my friend, his other car was that color. I do like Meissen blue though, it is a great color for a 50s through 70s car. The original color is Bahia red, but I am not into owning another red car, been there before.

Nope. Not there. Dammit.
In the immortal words of Chuck Heston (from Planet of the 912 Paint Codes):
"Daaaaaaaaamn YOOOOOOOUUUUUU!"
Now, I have at least ten others to consider! Damned dirty apes!

Corey - ......or.....maybe it's closer to an AMC classic color......RickJ

Cory,

That green is a VERY rare color on a 356. 62/63 356B Smyrna Green paint code 6210/Karmann or 744/Reutter bodied cars. I chatted with the owner. VERY nice car and owner.

Brilliant! Thanks!

Ricky, look at the Tahoe loop post
