So I am thinking of painting the sails, A pillars and top a different color than the car. Black is the obvious choice, but anyone do this or anything like it?

Say a silver top on a black car? vice vera?

it's been done ...


like with this "Max-Moritz" GT.
originally "Condagrün" in color, the car was repainted in '72 by Eckhard Schimpf.
body is "Signal Orange", windshield, targa bar and roof are the original "Condagrün" ...

I like it too, but it's a historic 914.

Why further destroy the resale value by making it into something it never was (in MOST cases).

Face it guys, 914's are getting rarer in driver/street form. Don't mess with Mother Nature - you'll lose - times two at least.

Mark my words!

you could build a replica!

like this one. the car is local to the bay area and it's a replica of the MM GT #77 above.

btw. the owners weren't too happy when i showed them the above color foto of the original car.
apparently, the guy who did their replica never bothered to check the color schema and simply painted the top, windshield frame and targa bar black instead of "Condagrün".
