    I remember seeing a green Boxer when I was a kid in Seattle parked in a shopping center, I was blown away never saw anything as stunning as it looked, it was owned by the O' Boy Oberto sausage companys founder.

    What a spectacular color !!!

    Green is one of those paints that if it is not "just right" it doesn't work at all.....on this car...in this hue...it is perfect !!!

    My favorite example is still Porsche's color called "Amazon Green"......

    Notice how the mirrors are asymetrically adjusted.... the field of range compared to where the driver sits is a sore spot..Mine is no different, but that what makes a classic a classic!

    Color is truly awesome. The mirrors can easily be adjusted. In any event whats a behind you is not important.

    I never thought green would look good...but it does!! It's interesting how the Boxer was photographed in the field. It looks like an animal ready to pounce on its prey.

    I may be mistaken but seem to recall that Clint Eastwood had a green BB; i think the yearbooks show a pic or two of him near the car...

    PS Mea Culpa: i found the pic of Clint- the car was a dark metallic brown 365BB, but he was wearing a green shirt! There are a couple green ones in Mel Nichols book on the boxer, though.

    Not surprising. I've met Art Oberto and he's a real fun guy. I've conducted pit tours at the Seafair hydroplane races and invariably the motorhome we used as a base was one of Art's veritable fleet of vehicles. Knowing Art, if he had a green Boxer he probably had a red one as well!

    All these Ferraris look great in green, really unusual and not the normal red.
    Were there any green 308s?

    Yes, I have seen both the 308 GTB & GTS in green (Verde) and the 246 GTS also.

    There is beautiful silver-green 250 pf coupe owned by an fchat member (pictures were floating around prior to site crash) and a dark green superfast. I have also seen light and dark green 400's. If anyone has pictures of any of these, please post them.

    Thanks,

    Art S.
