Several years ago a friend of mine had a 914-6. I cannot remember what color it was. He DE'd the car and autocrossed it in PCA events for several years.
At some point he took it to a famous body shop and arranged for a ding removal and a paint job, not a total restoration. He told them he wanted it done in the original color. The paint code was on the driver side "A" pillar. They checked and called one day and said "are you sure you want the original color?" and he said "Yes". A few weeks later they called and said the car is ready, and he arranged to pick it up. It was the color of pepto-bismo. The German name for it translated as "light red". It looked like a "Mary Kay Cosmetics" car, except it was not a Caddy. So, there were some real ones almost that color.
My grand kids would love it.
