Ok....I'll be the 1st to say.....WTH?
No idea what that rhyme has to do with a gold 914.
And I've been around awhile.

Doesn't look to be a tamper proof sticker... Mine also has "Type Passenger Car" as the top line. Don't know if all years had that though.

I am not usually this vague...sorry for the mystery. This one smells 'fishy'...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1972-Porsche-914/1...Fcr&vxp=mtr

Seller says its the original color...not by the looks of that ratty label, which almost looks like a photocopy its so rough.

How do you explain the blue behind the
compliance sticker ? .......there's a masking line around the whole thing.
Seller should provide the color code on the Karmann tag.
He's a Austin Healey guy.
Good eye Dave

If it smells like fish, do as you wish... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)


I think the reference is to the seller stating all paint on the "jams", trunk, engine compartment, etc. is original, yet that sticker sho' looks to have been taped for a spray job. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif)


Edit: What Rory said...

We already have creamsicles, bumblebees, and even grasshoppers.

From now on, are all cars that color called "goldfish?" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Yep, original paint.
Kinda.
Take it from the expert salesman.
What a hoot.
Perfect example of 'anything on the internet is forever'
