There's a 914 seller on craigslist who says "The color Olympia Blau is a rare Olympic commemorative color, the same as the Olympic Rings Symbol".
I had never heard that before. Checked my reference materials but don't find anything about Porsche 914 Olympic blue being a color with that history.
Any truth to this sellers statement?
Thanks,
Barry

Damn Barry, you are over here too? Mike Baskette from the Registry.
No, just one of the Porsche "Hippy" Colors - Lots of Olympic Blue 914s out there.

Thanks T.C., that's what I thought.
Hi Mike, yes, it's me. I'm a big 914 fan. Don't tell the 356 guys. ;-)
I have a 914 vintage race car. I want a street 914. Of course, I want a lot of things. That doesn't mean my wife agrees with me.
Best regards,
Barry
