Let's face it. Only in the 70's would a car come in so many wacky, crazy outrageous colors! The 914 was BY FAR no exception. Which are your favorite and least favorite of the 914 rainbow? The 914 came in 37 DIFFERENT COLORS (Actually 40, but 3 were the same color later renamed)! With as many as 14 OPTIONS A YEAR! I can’t think of ANY car that came in so many color selections! And let's face it - part of the appearance appeal of the 914 was the fact that it came in some really wacky colors. Having a 914 in a "normal" color almost just doesn't fit. For such a funky looking car, it's got to have a funky looking color!

With such an extensive variety of color selections, most of which you won’t find even remotely close to nowadays, which colors are your favorites - and least favorites? Post some good pics of 914s in your favorite colors - especially if it's yours! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)
