does anybody know if black was a color option on a 76 914, or a possible repaint....I have seen a few pictures of black cars, but dont know if they are original.
thank you.

No, all 76 cars were painted Nepal Orange!

In the immortal words of Jake, "Nice try!".

Black was an option every year from '71 on according to Brett Johnson's book, just not very common.

As Henry Ford said, Give the customer any color they want, as long as it is black.
Yep, I had a 76 Black 914 Original paint.
