I had a tiny involvement with a dealer in the 70's. Porsche offered up a PTS program for a bit less than $200/car. The GM"s wife went wild and we had 50 914's all different colors. The only one we had a hard time getting rid of was one painted Barbie pink. A few years of sitting on the front lot got the sales manager to hide it behind the shop. He dropped the price every week and upped the commission. I think it finally sold in 77 for a bit over $2000.

Sounds like many of the limited edition models NO ONE wanted the wacky color combinations that would only call attention to themselves so many had the yellow or orange trim changed to black trim and silver wheels before they could sell them or sold them by suggesting a quick trim paint job to customers
