While at the Garold 914 Fest I noticed that he had a Sepia Brown 914. It has the 98 color code which means paint to Porsche color.
I have never seen one before and I hope someone will take on the project to restore it because I am thinking it might be worth it.

It is a 73 2.0L with the all the options. I can get some better pictures tomorrow, it's pouring rain here now. These are pictures from when I picked it up. Make no mistake it is rough.

I haven't been able to stop thinking about how cool this car is and could be again, unfortunately, it's beyond my financial capabilities @ the moment - but I too believe this one is worth the effort!!!

that is a cool color
the karman plate has been painted over so I would imagine it's been repainted at sometime -whether original or not who knows (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
hopefully someone can save it

There was some discussion about this on Saturday during the bbq. It no doubt has been painted, as you noted the tag was sprayed over - but the inside of the trunks, as well as some spots on the body (where the poor respray had chipped away) revealed what I personally believe is the original paint - thats what led to the checking of the paint tag.

But, it really boiled down to - how many cars have you ever seen color changed TO sepia from another color? I've seen plenty changed from sepia to something else! not saying it couldn't have happend, but....

Someone should do this car justice, I would love to be able to take this on as a project, but it isn't in the cards for me right now - if it was, I'd have to try to talk Garold out of his 'office chairs' as I think they'd fit the car perfectly! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif)

ha! agreed I figured it had been discussed
if I ever have the means and opportunity I can't promise I wouldn't the go sepia brown route - it'd look cool with joe at series9's yellow ATS's on it!

Took some time today to take some pictures. I am shocked at how nice the longs look. Just might make a project for someone (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) No doubt that it will need a ton of work, but it is a 73 2.0L with paint to order paint job.

And before anyone says, yes I know I have a sickness. I just can't help myself. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

That's about what I figured it'd look like underneath, but you're right Garold, the longs are not what I would've expected - the jack points even look nice!

I've seen much, much worse saved, and not even being original 2.0ltrs!! Of course it's a big project, requiring a full blown resto, but I believe it deserves it - As much as I like the brown, thank God it wasn't aubergine, or ice green met. - It would've been in my garage already!!!!!

I had a Triumph Spitfire that colour once, Triumph Russet Brown. Otherwise known as Dog S*it Brown (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) & and was equally as rusty

I wonder if the strike prone British Unions in the 70's did an exchange trip to Germany to teach them how to build in rust from the get go?

Owner: I want to order a 914
Friend: They rust on there way over on the boat.
Owner: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Special order the paint in rust brown.
Friend: Great Idea (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Even though the 1973 914 2.0 is my favorite driver from the 70’s; Three letters come to mind when taking in the sheer volume of raw exposed decomposing iron… DTB
