Never thought I would like this color on a 914, but damn this one looks nice.

My first 914 was a brand new '73 2.0 Appearance Group in Sepia Brown with the cork colored interior. Loved that car. Bought it from Ely Porsche Audi in Hayward on Mission.

I think I’m under insured. |

It really does seem to work on this car! Sepia is a love it or hate it polarizing kind of color and generally i do not love it. But there were probably not many made in this color i would bet...

We restored a ‘76 930 to that color. Sort of cool period correct color but not my first choice.

Hate it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) For every repainted 911 i will show you 50% of them were originally brown. |

It's interesting that Sepia, aka "sale-proof-brown", is now a desirable color. I think it looks good.

In 73 and 74 Porsche made the dealers a special on paint to sample. The owners wife went hog wild, a lot of neat colors. One wasn't, best described as Mary Kay pink. Sat out back forever. Finally took to dropping the price every month until it went away.
