While working of my POS this weekend a little I decided to POR15 putty the holes and flaws and throw some paint on it till it returns to the earth as dust. Not being one to keep a low profile (I wear Hawaiian shirts most days at work) I want a '70s style paint scheme. Got any pics or descriptions?

Right now I'm thinking going back to the original yellow and running some browns as a stripe up the side and across the rear trunk. Maybe I'll even do a mural on the rear trunk too. I'm thinking of replicating the Meatloaf album cover or a sailboat/ ocean right now.

Ideas welcome!

I hate to say thats not a Zero. Looks to be old Allied Air Force. No rice there.

Thought it was Canadian at first but they have the Maple Leaf in the middle.

Holy crap I am loving that the white letters and nascar wheels just kill it!!!


Put a moon shape or other bubble window in the sail panel and one of these jobs




Damn I got all kinds of ideas now stripes going down in size forming a v on the trunk with a 914 at a campfire on the beach mural on the hood hahahah YES maybe its the but damn I had a little fetish for 70s vans as a kid and I dont see how this couldn't be a good idea

This is one of the car's that I've been studying. Being that I'm now missing one and vinyl cover on my sails, I may do a worth stonegueard and brown paint to go with the yellow car.

Posted by: djm914-6 May 15 2009, 07:17 AM

Hmmm, maybe.

Posted by: sww914 May 15 2009, 10:17 AM

On that car the purple is paint and the green & white are decals. It looks great in person too. It's the wildest 914 racecar I've ever seen.

Posted by: RobW May 15 2009, 10:25 AM

Think of how many racecars that thing inspired...

That is awesome how ugly that is.

Posted by: YksKrad May 15 2009, 11:09 AM

It's not a 914, but look for the Porsche parked on the side of the street near the end of 'Across The Universe'... Can't remember what kind it was :-\

If I can find a picture I'll add it later
