I've seen lots of flared cars out there but have yet to see one painted Zambezi. My 73 came stock with L64K and I'd like to keep it that color. I'm hoping someone out there has one so I can see what it'll look like after I weld on the flares.

To my limited knowledge Zambezi was only available in 73 and 74, therefore it was never a factory 6 color. The only factory 6 colors in green were Irish, Metallic Green, or Willow. This definately is a Zambezi car below, just not flared:

in general correct - but there was the possibility to choose every colour the factory was able to mix (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

speaking of standard and optional colours from the color sheets - yes

I know at least one 1970 914-6 that left the factory painted in conda green (a 911 colour in 1970+71)

and there was this 1972 916 in viper green metallic
