found this on autotrader.com just curious about the color ???

 

No, not unless the color registry on the photo is way off. I'm guessing Riviera Blue, but I don't know all of the variants. Mexico Blue is non-metallic and darker than that.

 

I guess you of all people would know huh ?
he is asking ridiculous money for it anyways

 

What the heck is that watercooled porker doing in here?

Yes I am the 911 section police, somebody has to keep the rif raf out.

 

That would be Minerva Blue and here is an aircooled Porsche for the thread.

Cool. You know my fist Porsche that I really fell in love with as a kid was a 930 Turbo in Minerva Blue. What a fricking nice car that was. Think it was in that old mag VW & Porsche or something like that.

 

Had a subscription to it (Still do, it's European Car, even though it sucks compared to back in the day)

 

The early 70's equivalent color is Porsche Gulf blue. Not to be confused with the Gulf blue of the Wyer-sponsored Gulf racing cars. That early color is closest to Porsche Polar blue, which I painted my car with. Traditional Porsche Gulf is a lot more turqoise, like the mentioned 996 in this thread.

No matter what is "accurate", whatever shade gets you excited is the way to go!

 

Did I hear Gulf Blue?

 

That is Correct color.(Mexico) Porsche calls it Riviera blue now.I guess it's politicly risky to say "Mexico" now. Color code is L-39E I believe.

 

Mexico Blue=Riviera Blue. Didn't know they were the same color. Has this been officially confirmed by anyone that is special ordering (Paint to Sample) a new 911? z356

 

I've ordered a 2010 GT3 in Riviera Blue. code-L-39E. Porsche
tells us that Mexico is same formula.Hope that helps.

 

Mexico BLue is 336 and is DARKER than Riviera. Have a Riviera on order and have seen both colros side by side on two diff cars. Not same color.

 

I think it is a nice color...though I would not want own it!
