Doe anyone have a reliable source for a gold (early) 914-6 rear trunk panel badge?
Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Surprised these are hard to come by—thought both the long Euro "914-6 VW Porsche" and the North American "914-6" were both available.
A quick search suggests no—and I can't seem to find old ads for them either. |

No gold right now , only bare aluminum.(IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Yep, no gold option right now. I am waiting for a gold letter to arrive from a generous 914World member that has donated one to me. (thx Sergio) so that I can try to duplicate. That one 914-6 emblem on eBay looks horrible. You'd think they'd clean it up before posting. |

I bought the Euro version 3 years ago from Sierra Madre, first rate quality. They still list those, the US version says "Currently unavailable".

Hm. So what's fair market value for a nice NOS U.S. "914-6" badge?

It would be pretty simple to make a good duplicate. We are already doing the other 914 ones in gold silver and black.
Highly polished and finished if I could do 50 I could do them in the $35-40 range. |
