In early 911 circles color change can be a viewed as a negative in most cases, but acceptable for a tribute or outlaw.
What's the consensus in 914 World? I'm nearing the paint stage for my 6 which was originally Safety Orange... but it's a GT replica build and there are some tempting paint choices. Am I being too careful sticking with the OG paint color or could choosing something more personal affect future resale? Thanks for your replies. |

fortunately all the original colours are now beyond the terms of fashion dictates and can be enjoyed by all - in their original splendour - and be regarded as charming.
i do remember a time with mine in the 90s where all i got was negative comments about the phoenix red and brown interior being so.........70s. and awful. "you need to paint it silver mate - and redo the farken interior, its like your sitting in s#$t!" i used to just grin and bear it. not a negative comment has been said for years now. in fact young girls giggle and squeal when they see it out on the streets. they love it. the brown interior is generally admired and nobody sees anything scatalogical in it anymore. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) i say go with original color. its all part of the unique design charm. |
