Re: [T3] What color fir my Notch?

["Steven W. Janninck" <SJannick@ix.netcom.com>]

 Hello D & L Walters ,

    I have a similar situation in front of me with the restoration of my 71
Notch. Initially I didn't care much for the color of the car when I got my
hands on it. I asked the local VW Club members what my next best to original
color should be. The answer that I got from more than one person was to find
all the available colors for the exterior and interior for the year of
production of the car and chose a stock original combination that best fits
your preferences. By going with a paint and interior combo that was
representative of the year and type of car, and maybe not what is actually
on the birth certificate, is better that just shooting it any color under
the sun when trying to be somewhat original. This is just my two cents, but
I hope it helps. There is one more thing to remember, and that is that it
has been known that VW did make mistakes in documenting the color schemes on
some cars so you may have one of those rare ones, which could make your
Notch even more rare than it already is.

Hope I Helped Some Steve.
