I bought a '74 2.0 years ago to do a six conversion. Had been in dry storage for about 10 years. It was in great condition with no rust at all. All there was under the rocker panels was dust/dirt. Didn't like the color and changed it.
The 914 world site's color chart is different than what my ID tag says. The ID paper tag says Saturn Yellow with a paint code of L99A, which is supposed to be Delphi Green Metallic. Do I have a misprinted tag? Also, the medal tag has L99A on it too. The car was Green from the factory as I took it apart down to the wiring harness..... The orignal paper tag.....  The car ready for cage work....(GREEN)  |

Richard, That paper tag was on it when I bought it from the owner. I'm not sure if he was the orignal owner, but no more than the second. He drove it untill he and his wife had a kid. It was put in dry storage for about 10 years when I bought it.
It's a '74, so the Delphi Green fits the year and L99A on the paper and Karmann tag. I'm not sure what happened to it. I hope I kept it somewhere. The pic is from right after I bought it and before it was painted. It doesn't look like the Saturn Yellow color patch on the color chart. The car WAS Delphi Green Metallic.....I was wondering if the paper tag was factory or not. As I said, I stripped it down to just the wire harness. The car is/was the color in the pic. |
