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) |

The ID paper tag says Saturn Yellow with a paint code of L99A, which is supposed to be Delphi Green Metallic. that's not correct !! the paper says two-coat-metallic saturnyellow L99A saturn yellow = L13M saturnyellow metallic = L99A = delphi green as Andy wrote, that's just the german name, literaly translated to english I'm pretty sure that this paper is from the Karmann Factory and that they translated the german colour name because it was an export car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Gustl |
