Taking a Poll, what would be considered the most desirable color for the 73 2.0 teeners? I hade a debate with a friend of mine and well I would like to get a answer from across the board. We are talking Factory 73 colors as the choices, not custom colors.
Tell me Your favorite.... I have not seen a lot of the choices in person, so It would be nice to hear your opinions

If you can find the 914 in this pic, that's my favorite color

These cars look great in just about all the colors! (well, maybe that sepia brown . . .)

The bright, period colors are great (signal orange, yellow, the greens).

But the single best on a stock 73 2.0?

Zambezi Green.

Posted by: Mike914 Jun 8 2006, 07:03 PM

Was Palma Green Metallic a "74 color? That's my fave...

Posted by: 914rrr Jun 8 2006, 07:42 PM

Olympic blue is nice...

Posted by: SGB Jun 8 2006, 07:57 PM

Silver.

Posted by: mudfoot76 Jun 8 2006, 08:05 PM

Another vote for Zambezi

Posted by: Jamie Jun 8 2006, 08:28 PM

Hey SoCal- do you have a source for wonderfully attention grabbin' Delphi green like my 73 original in L99A?? I would really like to buy a bit for touch-up if you can find some!

Posted by: nbscooters Jun 8 2006, 08:32 PM

Everyone knows the L20E is the way to go! Its better than the guranteed not to sell brown.

Posted by: cantley914 Jun 8 2006, 08:37 PM

for L20E

Another vote for Signal orange

Posted by: rwjames Jun 8 2006, 08:38 PM

Saturn yellow and Signal orange are great colors, but Ravenna Green looks great on a 914 and gets my top vote.

I owned a '73 2.0 in Ravenna and that car got attention everywhere I drove it. I was a silver only guy when I purchased that car and it took a while for the color to grow on me, but it is a great color.

Posted by: Rocket Jun 8 2006, 08:48 PM

Posted by: bodyman Jun 8 2006, 09:35 PM

I always liked orange 914's, just seemed like the color they should be, until I bought one, did not realize that the color I was thinking of was Phoenix Red(L32K) signal orange and tangerine are good too

Posted by: dgw Jun 9 2006, 10:36 PM

Only somebody with a purple car could spell this!
