Is the tangerine color used on early 914's the same as Phoenix Red used on 73-74 cars? The color looks the same to me, but what do I know, I'm color blind.
Thanks, Greg |

They are not the same. Been a while since I’ve seen tangerine in person but the biggest difference I remember is that Phoenix red actually looks red in low light/at night. During the day they are similar with tangerine being lighter.
