There is a '71 914 on Ebay and I don't think I have ever seen this color before. I think I have seen a similar color on a 356, and maybe a Karman Ghia.

I like it, but is it OEM?

No, not oem, black trunks always a giveaway of color change, looks at the brake master cyc pic, you can see the orig blue poking through, or maybe yellow looking at the floorboard pic...

Never understood the black trunk deal. I've seen several cars listed over the past couple of years that claim all the paint is original...and then you see the black trunk. If you are going through the trouble to paint it black why not paint it body color?

Nice color. You're right it looks a lot like a VW color from the year. I had a '71 Fasty that color...

I agree, black trunks should be illegal...a lot of times someone does it to make it presentable and sells it to someone else who thinks it is stock that way.

Definitely looks like a VW color but not a 914 color.

Back in the day for an extra $100 you could have any color you wanted. It looks like VW blue but not likely OE paint color

Hmmm, I seem to recall that black or gold (early days) was a $300 option. I'm a whacko, as yiu all know, but if I could have afforded another $300, I would have gone with gold. I was tapped out at $4200. It's been Bahia every since.

But...this car....I'd walk away quickly. On the other haned, how many half solid cars are left? Could be a good resto project for 2K.
