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

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

Jack, that is a really pretty car. A '73? Love those Mahles.'

How long have you owned it?
