All of my 914's and my one 911 are white. The
914's are the new white (alpine?) and the 911
is the old, creamier factory white. They are
extremely easy to take care of, and the color
hides any little annoying flaws that turn up
on ANY new paint job. Make sure your chrome and rubber is impecable, add a nice set of 5
bolt fuchs (polished with factory black accents) and you have a looker. I have to say, however, somewhere on one of the 914 pages is a yellow 3.0 914-6 conversion (Rich Johnson??)that is one of the most beautiful
914's I have ever seen. Whatever you decide, do it right. If you change the color, really change the color. By that I mean trunks (under the gas tank!), door jambs, engine compartment - basically take the bloody thing apart. No matter what color, there is nothing neater than new and reconditioned parts (hose clamps, heater hoses, wiring harnesses, window seals, etc) on a clean pain job. It is not a matter of spending money, just time and elbow grease. Go to a local PCA concours - you will see what I mean. It is very easy to get a similar effect on a street car.
