 In Spring 1969 a 26 year old Ronald R. took delivery of this special ordered Olive colored sunroof coupe from a Bay Area Porsche dealership. Think about the number of things going on in 1969 from the moon landing to Woodstock, new technology such as the 747 airplane and the microprocessor were put into use for the first time. What a time to be alive in that age and be able to buy a brand new Porsche, specially ordered to your taste, a taste that fit the  late 60s era. 

Owner #1 - Ronald G. Rueb. There is a gold plaque that was given only to the original owners of Porsches in the late 60s as they bought the car – with owner’s name engraved. This plaque is included with this car, it reads Ronald G. Rueb, and it has never had the paper pealed from the back to be placed on the dash. The last registration documents are in Ron's name.

Owner #2 – Enter your name here.

For a 25 year old man in 1969 this car was quite the purchase so no doubt Ron was going to take care of it. The car was garaged its entire life at his home in El Cerrito - Bay Area California, the care and attention this car has always received is obvious by the way it shows today in its unrestored state. It has been kept out of the sun and bad weather. Still wearing almost all of its original paint and all original interior the condition and ever so light patina are fantastic. When you sit in this car and take in the smells, textures and feelings you are brought back to an era we would all like to re-live again. The condition, the look, the feelings generated from this car, everything is just perfect because the experience is completely authentic. 

This rare green hue is hardly ever seen with an early Porsche. The gloss shows the incredible condition of the original paint with a deep color, the paint has been professionally buffed and detailed recently. The paint glows, picks up the sunlight, the color varies throughout the light of the day, similar in color to a cocktail olive green. The Catacolor factory green tinted windows over the Olive add a feel of the1960s as if viewing reality was through an 8mm film. No one will show up to the party wearing the same thing if you are in this car. Out of all the rare special order colors Olive Green code #6835 is one of the rarest, also known as “Earth Green” in Europe. Adding to the rarity is that this is still the original paint applied at the Porsche factory which is impossible to find and proves the outstanding condition. While most original paint cars show wear and tear this car is fantastic for the age. There are some rock chips on the front hood and bumper as to be expected, there is a small paint blend near the passenger rear taillight but the overall appearance and the way it shows makes any blemishes forgivable. Trim and light lenses are original, nothing prematurely replaced by terrible reproduction parts.
