The only listing of 914 optional equipment codes I recall is in Brian longs book and I have them reproduced on my 914 Can Am website. The list of optional eqiopment codes I have seen is surely not complete or accurate for the other years. Anyone have a comprlehensive list of all the codes or even a few of the codes? Someone has recently asked me for info on a code I have not seen..."778" and I dont knwo where to begine looking.

My guess is that they might be in some dealer-only or special factory literature or similar reference. They are not on the COAs or Window Stickers...here is what I do have:

Help.

I installed dual hella horns recently for less than $30, interesting that it is cheaper 30 years later

How about the tire chains, or ski/luggage rack? Man, where would you look for that stuff, old sales brochure perhaps?

The snow chains and ski racks are dealer accessory items, I am inquiring about Factory installed optional equipment, not dealer mounted accessories.

When we think we know so much about the 914, there always seems to be more to discover...

A couple times, for specific items. All he seemed to have for the 914 was sales literature, not dealer pubs, no rare factory stuff or anything esoteric.

He sent me a a full list of what he had for the 914 and it wasnt much that isnt on ebay everyday.

all these M-option numbers occured at the price lists

I do have some of them, unfortunately not all years
unfortunately I only have the standard price lists, which refere to other additional price lists (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I'll scan some and post them, but it will take a couple of hours because I'm a little busy right now ...

Thanks Wolfgang, that is great information. I will tabulate it and develop a master list to post. I am looking for a description of what the M778 option is. Found it on the COA for Creamsicle VIN 14423 on the 914 Can Am Registry.

Would M778 be the LE equipment list as a package?

Wolfgang has turned me on to some information that leads me to believe the USA 914LE cars are optional equipment M470 and the ROW 914GTs are M471. Trying to verify it now.

Some resource links. Problem is, I think the meaning of an option code depended on the model and the year.
