I bought a 1972 Irish Green 914/4 1.7L a couple of months ago. The car has a brown interior with tan carpeting that is a all in need of replacement. Was the brown interior on this car a color originally offered as an option from the factory? I ask because every 1972 Irish Green 914 I've found pictures of has either a black or tan interior including the 914/6's. I'm not stuck on replacing a brown interior and probably am leaning towards black but the brown has kind of grown on me. I'm not a fan of the tan interior though.

Can anyone tell me how to find out if the dark brown was original? Is there a Vin# decoder chart available where I can find out what the interior color was from the factory?

My 1972 is Irish Green. The COA lists the interior as...

"Russet Leatherette/21"

So per the chart above that would be "brown"

As to my car it came with a brown leatherette backpad when I bought it. The carpet was clearly not original, so due to the mystery past, I can't say what is original other than I am pretty sure about the Irish Green as being the orig color.

And as always...
