1970 914/6 FS Options

[Cal]

Here's a nice looking 6 for sale on EBay with a very cool original color plaid interior.....I've never seen an interior like this on a 6 before. Looks like a great price if the miles and description is correct. The owner had it listed with a BIN price of $60K.

EDIT - Please see my corrected Interior color info. at post #11 below.

This is a pic below is of my 73 914-2.0's OE #31 Beige Interior with Smooth/Basketweave vinyl & with the #503 Dark Tan carpets which lived it's entire life in sunny SoCal & with the top off much of the time. It's a little darker due to the shady lighting in this pic, but even in the sunlight it's substantially darker than the pix of the 914-6 above.

This color was pretty consistent for all 70-74 MYs, until they changed to the thinner vinyl fabrics in 75-76 MY. EDIT - Apparently the 1970 MY Beige/Tan was a lighter shade.

So they should all look close to this & carpet colors near too - even with sun fading, which isn't consistent across all areas - i.e.: shaded areas on the bottom curves of the door pocket, bolsters, etc. should be less faded.

That's why I say this 914-6 looks like a redone interior - even if close to or correct according to the COA, but the Beige/Tan is too light all over. The seller may be unaware of it being redone, unless he's the OO or in the family since new (e.g.: Dad's car, etc.).

PS - This pic below is the #503 Dark Tan from behind the passenger seat, which is as close to new as anything on my 73, being shaded by the seat. The 1970 MY #501 Tan color pile carpet would've been all in the lighter of the 2 tan & brown yarn colors in the speckled Dark Tan example. BTW, #503 Dark Tan wasn't available in 70 MY, & not until 73 MY.
