Okay folks,
I've owned my early-73 MY 914-2.0 (914S for Pat G. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ), and I looked at the VIN label on the driver's door jamb, but the build date could either be an "8" but missing one of the "punch-dots" in the left side of the lower loop, or a "9" with an "extra dot" (& don't ask about the COA - no help there). ... so which is it ???? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I'm also aware of another 73 MY VIN 01102 built 9/72, & another on here VIN 01654 built 8/72 IIRC - & both are earlier VINs than mine - so did they build VINs out of date order?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) My VIN Door Jamb Label:  ... and here's my project to restore - finally outside last Sunday before the "monsoon" hit!    ... Lotsa work for me to do, to say the least! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

I believe the color carpet in the Sahara Beige car is # 402. Kind of a Silver Knit Brown.

QUOTE(smg914 @ Jan 20 2010, 09:30 PM)  I believe the color carpet in the Sahara Beige car is # 402. Kind of a Silver Knit Brown. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act...t&id=204029 I see now that it does match the top one #402 here, & probably a better match for your brown upholstery! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . I don't know how common the #503 Dark Tan vs. #504 Tan above, were with the #31 interior, since the dealer color/materials selection docs which I'd posted only say it's loop pile carpet with the Appearance Group, but not which color? I think the regula Tan would show dirt more in daily use, being a lighter color. BTW - mine has not been vacuumed, cleaned or anything for 24+ years stored in my garage, so excuse the grime - especially in comparison to Steve's beauty! ... but Steve's is my model & goal to achieve for my resto!
