Nope! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

It looks like they took it to a furniture reuphulstery shop & used 70's sofa fabric for it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

You can see pix of the actual factory fabrics at Jeff Bowlsby's classic 914 website, just click on the blue linked titles & numbers in the chart. He may not have all of them, but he has most on there, & some years missing are the same (e.g.: 74 for 73 MY).

I'm not sure if he included the Porsche "Pepita" or herrringbone or houndstooth (3 names for same black & white pattern fabric) often seen on 911/912 of the era, but that's often used on 914 restos, & may have been available as a special order/pre-order item on new 914/4s or -6s - maybe, I'm not sure.

The upside is repairs are as simple as duct tape.
