I noticed this on a car in the classifieds. It's a 74 with a/c. My 73 has the gauges all in a line down the center. Was this offset arrangement a factory change in 74 or was it done just because of the a/c? Just curious.

Yep, the a/c console gauges were criss-cross because they didn't have the room. Non-a/c were in a straight line.
Look who showed up....Unclerichy....
Yupperz....a/c modified center console....not stock...bastardization by the dealer.....no a/c was factory.....
The other center console with A/C had gauges in a line down the center, but angled the gauges so they faced the driver.
--DD
To be clear there were two A/C systems used on 914s. When one type was installed there was a nifty new gauge panel that angled the gauges toward the driver. When the other was installed this zig-zag install was used.

Factury gauges were vertical. A/C with guages was a dealer installed.

"Two"? I know of at least 3. VPC, DPD, and Cool Aire, and there may7 be more. The Cap'n |
I don't have A/C and don't plan on adding it so the details didn't matter to me. I just was curious so that if I did something I'd know if I'd varied from stock or not.
I also started this because I figured it would give us something to talk about besides the latest on the gestapo tactics of our "justice" system.
Saw a console for sale on EBay that has 4 guages and they are zig-zag to fit them in.

I suspect that is a VPC air conditioning console, which had staggered gages, with the lowest (4th ) gage added by a PO. If you have the Authenticity book, look on page 65, and visualize the added 4th. I have a very unlolested 74 with DPD air. It has the tilted gages.
VPC center console.
