Is there a resource that shows total production by color somewhere? Curious which is more rare, Delphi or Willow Green.

As someone who owns both an original willow green and an original delphi green 914, I have a definite choice.

Willow green was only offered in '71 & '72. All other things being equal, my hands down choice is willow green. However, condition is more important than the color. You can change the engine (i.e. 1.7 to 2.0, 2.7 etc), you can change the color, but repairing collision damage or rust, no thanks.

Best wishes with your purchase!

Delphi Green was only available in 73~74 as a custom color, but also consider that the 71 transmission is a less desirable tail shifter.
