1974 Corvette: 404 is black leather interior, 914 is Silver Mist Metallic. Yours says 14L. Close? Yours was perhaps one of the last 74 Vettes made.

The following is from the little black book:- "The exterior color code on the trim plate was generally a two number code followed by the letter L. The code may also appear with a 9 before the two numbers and no letter following."
Code 14 = Silver Mist and the interior code 404=Bk/L i.e. black leather. So Bikespace is 100% correct, according to the little black book.
