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.....

Mine has a paper tag on it too. Except it's in the driver's door jam, above the hinge. Maybe it's possible it's a factory repaint? Misprint on the tag irregardless. Think there was one other instance of somebody mentioning that a car was repainted by the factory prior to delivery on the board. I seen these tags on 74+ year cars. Not sure if the earlier ones had them.
