Stupid question, but... it looks very original and has five-lug wheels, so either it was converted early in its life or that's a SIX!!??????????????

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) Looks like it has the ignition switch on the column. That, and the VW-Porsche emblem say it's a four. IMO. Love the color, and the condition is spectacular! |

Great score!
The primary clues in the pictures is the jack strap location, black bumper and the VW Porsche 914 badge which would make it late '72, or '73? It would be interesting to see the VIN and the different euro details vs US cars. Enjoy! Don |

That's not a "barn find" but a "time capsule find." Someone really loved that car and took great steps to take care of it for such a long winter's nap.
