Now at $28K, 2 days to go. Matt, there are those out there who prefer the SN197 Bullitt over the new one. Read the comment by Spectreman....
(edit) Still sticking with my prediction of somewhere between 25-30K.

From the comments section:

The ’73-’74 MY paint name “Zambezi Green” (L64K) was officially changed to “Forest Green” for the 1975 MY 914s with same paint code (L64K), neither existed for MY ’76 cars.

Not counting “Custom” or “Color to Sample” cars, the 914 officially had at least 10 shades of Green from ’70 to ’76. That is over twice any other color, Red, Blue, Yellow, etc. Green was also very popular on 911s and 912s.

Looks familiar.
