Hi,
Question from someone new to 914's. I have a 1977 914 FI 2.0L. Having looked at the various internet resources things do not add up. The attached photo shows the original color of the car, the photo makes the car look more orange that what it does in life and normal lighting conditions. Everyone who has seen it says it is red. I read the stamp as 98, but by the paint code chart it should be met blue or something like that. Any one got an idea what I have going on here? Attached thumbnail(s)

As you probably all know, paint code 98 is "Color to sample, previously used Porsche color" As you can see from my attached picture, my car is also code 98. The only reason I know that my cars color is Sahara Beige is because when I bought the car from the original owner, he told me. My car also still has the original "Lackstift" touch-up paint container that came with the car that says Sahara Beige on it. Unfortunately Porsche has no record for the actual color used on 914's with codes 98 or 99. They only know that it is color to sample.
