Car looks great! Congrats on finding such a nice, unrestored example.
Found a couple of pictures of Mayan Green 914s on the Internet so they did make them. Regarding the color, as others have mentioned, posting the color code on your Karmann plate inside the driver's door jam will help determine the color from the factory. Mayan Green and Berber Yellow apparently are the same color with the same color code, L11D. http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/paintdetail.cg...20Green%7C56421 You can see all the 914 colors for 1975 on this color chart. Berber Yellow is color code B5 V9. Click the image to super size: ... and B5 V9 is cross referenced to L11D on this 914 color chart: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/members.rennlist.com-12234-1466978689.1.jpg) Here is the PPG VW color chart for 1975, L11D is called Mayan Green: |

Here is the PPG VW color chart for 1975, L11D is called Mayan Green: I had a friend back in the day who had a Super Beetle in the Mayan Green, 75 or 76 IIRC. so it was certainly on both the Porsche 911s, VW Bugs/SBs & at least a few 914s. Since it's a cross referenced color with the VW Berber Yellow, the Karmann plate's paint code may show the L11D number, while the Porsche+Audi dealership used the 911 name for it as Mayan Green, instead of Berber Yellow. Either way it sounds like the same paint mix & color. PS - the paint names were more of a marketing tool, just as they are today. So there were often the same paint mix called something different between makes, models & model years, just so they could flow with the prevailing breezes of the day. Good Info Dave!
