NOT MINE 1971 Imperial 2-door.

[Turbo301]

@Turbo301 -- AFAIK, 999 is the paint code used when a car is painted a color that was not one of the standard choices that year. In this case, bright red.


Not gone for all makes, though not cheap nowadays. Cue the many, many choices at BMW:

Yeah, Porsche has the option to have any colour you want, but I can't even imagine the price .

Was FE5 not available on an imperial in 1971?

Or is there something else going on?

So you left it to someone else to use their coffee break to do the work for you. I see...

Yes sir.
That is definitely one thing that internet forums are great for.
Some folks just have so much time on their hands.
Actually that's why I try to help and answer any questions that I can since I ask questions all the time.
