"Light Ivory" is correct. Your paint code should read "L80E". Factory color and not that rare at all ...

We have a 914 Color chart in the "Info" section:

Figured it out!!! I suppose it is ivory the paint code actually matched the factory color ivory don't have paint code on hand but its a 911 color not a 914 color. Had to ask george in atlanta

So is that rare? a 911 paint color on a 914

What are the numbers on the Karmann badge on the drivers door hinge post?

Lxxx is the paint code and xxy9zzzs the body #. Give me those and I'll help figure it out. Very good chance the car has been repainted, and if so it may not be the original color.

I dont have the car anymore and i had the info written down it has been repainted but it wasn't repainted on the inside trunks or anywhere else. and this color is darker than light ivory the color code matches a ivory for sure but is that possible? Geogre said its worth more because its a really rare color for a 914 to bad she's gone
