Found a couple of pictures of Mayan Green 914s on the Internet so they did make them. Also, my car has the what I believe to be original muffler and exhaust system on it. The muffler says Porsche on it and very much appears to be original. Coupl of pictures of the interior

Just to be clear on what I posted above, I was not saying they didn't sell any, just that Mayan wasn't a stock color & had to be special ordered, or changed at the dealership.

This 914 is so clean & pristine, that you really need to show it & concours it at your local region & zone PCA events, then Parade is coming to the PNW next year I think - so there too!

Keep it in the Preservation Originality Division at these PCA events for your Zone & national Parade. So even though you're getting a full carpet set of NOS - do NOT succumb to change out the entire carpet set, but only those pieces which have too much wear - e.g.: the driver & passenger floor mats, maybe one or both rocker panel peices &/or the center tunnel piece - because you do not want to pass the 75% original test on the interior. Same thing goes for exterior paint, but the fender damage repair is probably still below the 75% original threshold, but not much more can be done (FYI - paint chip/scratch touch-ups generally won't count, but you'll need a fresh bottle of touch-up paint).

Also can't hurt to show it at a few multi-marque & Euro/German shows up there too! AACA & others have their own rles for how much of what needs to be original.

You should do very well with proper & thorough cleaning, prep & detailing!

With the 45k miles, original car, & in this condition - this is an exceptional example!

Good Luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
