Just picked up this parts car stored for many years. The body is shot since it was parked outside but the parts are in very good shape. It is # 1227 build for 1971 could it be built for overseas and shipped here?

Found something else Euro pressure sensor # 022 906 051A part number. I think this is a Euro car. So the radio could be stock!

See the "volkswagen" label in the center slider switch?

Believe what you wanna....I used to go drool at the Vasek Pollak Porsche Dealer and talk to the lot boy....he did the installs. He also installed the antennas....depending on the radios and the parts and the whim of the owner....everyone he installed was different.

OKEY DOKEY....get a certificate of authenticity from Porsche and post it....until then.....I stand by my lot boy story.
I don't argue CW stuff, because frankly I don't care if this is "correct" or this is from one that was delivered in France or Bulgaria.
Stock 914s suck...they were designed to be an entry level Porsche and NOT compete with the 911....when it got a decent motor and started kicking the 911 butt the factory pulled the plug.
That's why NONE of mine are stock...sorry if this yanks yer chain, but I shouldn't even replied to this thread.....kill me now....

Bite my crankshaft newbie.....I've been wrenching on these for years...my opinion is my own....you can express yours all ya want, free posting and free country....show me the paperwork.
The radio that says volkswagen on the slider is a Bendix Sapphire radio manufactured solely for the distribution of Volkswagen of America. That radio doesn't exist in Europe.
The LMU radio looks like a 3 band blaupunkt.

Show me the CoA and I'll eat my words....
What IS "stock"? Design and Manufacturing are driven by Marketing. The US is a dominant market that heavily influences the product's design. Maybe less when Porsche was a small company and didn't have to listen to shareholders or customer base.
In this case a radio was requested and "factory" specified so the car was "factory" designed to accomodate one that "may" have been installed at the factory or by the dealer. Is there really a difference?
I bought a grey market Mercedes. Are all the missing US DOT features "factory stock"?
I guess the interpretation matters to some people so continue the debate...
terms that apply
FACTORY
STOCK
ORIGINAL
PERIOD
pick any two and use them in a sentence referring to your car.
Does the car have side marker lights? That's a dead giveaway if it's a euro car or not.
