What color green is this car? Or is it a non factory color?

Thanks, Walt

Same color as Mikey914's car. Late factory color from what I understand. Check the color charts in the 914 info tab at the top of the page.

In that case, perhaps it's Viper Green Metallic. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I'm not sure that is a Porsche colour. The Delphi looks the closest

Looks like my lime metallic green, kind of hard to tell without seeing in person. It's a 76 color, and from the bumpers, looks like it could be. Check the paint codes you should be able to identify.
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=colors
It just may be -L98B Lime Green Metallic (Limonengrün-Metallic) , same as mine
It looks more viper greeen here, but it's at night.

But I think this 914 in question may be either the 76 MY Viper Green Metallic Paint Code L96N or the 75 MY Palma Green Metallic Paint Code L95K - look here under those MYs:

Pretty sure the pic in the brochure (middle pic) is Ravenna. The others also look to be Ravenna.

Definately the first 2 pictures are not L98B as the bumpers are wrong.
Rob had it right.

How rare is L98B? Special order?
L98 is the precurser for most custom colors.
