    Greetings,

    I'm working on a "More than Red" section on my 328 website, trying to document the other colors available on the 328. I think I have everything except the greens. I do have a pic of a Verde Scuro one, but I'm still looking for the following color codes:

    602/C -- Verde Chiaro
    604/C -- Verde Tenue

    I would love pics of those colors.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Check "The Original Ferrari V8" it has all the colors offered (along with codes). Sadly, no pics of the colors

    I just got my dealers kit (circa '94) but sadly, doesn't have either of those greens in it.

    Yep, that's where I got the list of colors. Can't find a pic of any Fcar in those colors. The closest I've found is a description of Verde Tenue as a "light lime green".

    There's a very real possibililty that no 328 was ever sold in these shades.

    That color reminds me of Miura Green, but uglier.

    Thanks

    The bottom two are Verde Scuro, from the Ferrai of Denver car. The upper ones look like they might be different. Do you happen to know the color code on that car?

    Yes Bertrand. This is the famous GTS converted into a GTB by welding a GTB top; it is easily recognisable due to the louvres behind the headlights pods and above the wheels, "à la 308", and the front hood louvres as a 328. The color is not original.
    As far as I know, to answer Tilman's original question of April 2004, 602/C (Verde Chiaro) and 604/C (Verde Tenue) were NOT OFFERED as standard colors for the 328s: only Verde Scuro was.

    That is what I would like to confirm.
    I just received a Glasurit/Ferrari colour range number 1M/6/85 ( so from 1985 ? ). And Verde Chiaro & Verde Tenue colour card are present on it. All other colour were know to be available on 328.

    Is there an period document where there were all available colour on 328 ? Also for interior colour ?

    No, there is no such thing as a specific document for the 328 colors. As you probably know, the glasurit samples were done for all the different models (at the time: 400/412; Testarossa; Mondial; 308/328) but some of the colors were not "standard" for certain models. Nevertheless, it doesn't mean that these were not available: you might have ordered a 328 in "Verde Chiaro" or in "Verde Tenue", only that was non-standard and would have been treated as a "special order", for which you would have to wait slightly longer. Remember the 308 GTS"i" of William Rappaport on this forum: he ordered it himself when new (a "one owner only" car) in "Rosso Barchetta" because he liked that color; they accepted the order, he only had to wait a little longer.
