 |
|
Looking for help on color. Thinking it might be L380 Turkish green. Bug is 65, sun roof. Pan seems to be swapped with 68 ball joint front and IRS trans. What the tag says under the seat.
Can't seem to find color in the technical section pertaining to this bug year color combo etc. Vin # 115337852.
Any help would.
Sorry. Pics got deleted some how.

I can't get your photo links to work.
A '65 would have been Bahama Blue looking like this example...
BTW it's not "Turkish" green but rather Turkis (German for turquoise) used 1960-1961 like this example...

You're welcome 
It is evident the car has been painted so to be fair it may not be a match to a factory color.
I will say Bahama Blue is most"correct" and IMHO looks the best on a '65, however if you like that blue better simply take a tail light off and have it matched at you friendly local automotive paint supply store.
