My first 914, a brand new ‘73 1.7, was Sunflower Yellow. It was so deep and bright I called it the Neon Daffodil.

the entire color range of 914s through the 70s is faultless.
because they are colors. (apart from silver and black, but not through any inherent qualities, rather the unfortunate association with contemporary tiresome color-less-ness). the best of the 914 colors are the undecideable ones. saturn yellow. or is that saturn green. phoenix red. or is that pheonix orange. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) that "buttercup" sunflower yellow is very emphatic though and its pretty darned good. and thats without getting to ravenna green which is just mind blowing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) what has happened to the world? why have we gone backwards? why is the 21st century such a disappointment?

My first 914, a brand new ‘73 1.7, was Sunflower Yellow. It was so deep and bright I called it the Neon Daffodil. My first 914 was a '74 Sunflower Yellow 1.8. It had oxidized quite a bit when I got it. Then I gave it a good Turtle Wax polish. What a difference. The garage was glowing yellow. And BTW if anyone has it I would like to buy it back (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . It had a very distinctive white and green horizontal stripe between the tail lights totally covering the yellow. The owner was a professor from IWU and painted that area the school colors. |

I've only driven mine. But up against other 914's the yellow appears to be 10-15 mph faster than other colors. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

My first one was 73 2.0 in Saturn. Loved that car.

White, black, silver, and grey (especially that hideous primer looking grey) have become nearly all you see on the road. I have a few friends that will absolutely not buy a car of one of those colors. . and I agree! |

The generation of monochrome cars, AI talking, and more just makes me wonder if the Matrix is real.
