original color

[Tourniqet]

Hey guys,

I was just feeling nastalgic and thinking about the final color of my z. It was originally Brown Metallic 114, which was probably one of the uglier colors, but then I realized I never really saw one. My car was repainted white a decade or so ago. Do you guys know any pics of a Brown Metallic 114 aka cocoa brown z, I think they were only availiable a few months in 72/73. I was digging through gallery, but figured maybe you guys knew of one already...

Thanks

There's a reason for that :stupid:

Actually I applaud you for considering bringing it back the way it came from the factory. Can't help with the picture tho. What color is your interior? I imagine the Brown came with the Butterscotch interior which might be hard to find, unless its already there.

Thanks for the help guys,

I know it aint a pretty color but at least I can say I thought about it now...

If I was going closer to a stock restoration I would consider it more, but hopefully this will be pretty far from stock! oh and it is buterscotch interior. I am going to replace most of it with black except the headliner, doors, and few other peices around the hatch. hopefully turn out ot be more of a black and tan...

I owned a 74 260Z new in 74 and I loved the color it was called emerald green, wish I still had that one and I traded it in on a 75 280Z copper and I hated the color :stupid: :stupid: :stupid: :stupid: The emerald green was my favorite !!!!!!

oh ya,

Well I just wondered what one would look like. Painting is a long way away too I am sure I will have time to find many other colors.

Was it like number 903? That is the color if i remember correctly mine was. Over the years it was painted slightly different greens but I want to go back to it's original color since I think it is different and looks really great.

My first 240Z (1973 model) in 1981, still had the original brown paint/butterscotch interior like this one below...
