used the "914 Info" feature just the other day, after Andy pointed us there in the thread about the '73 that may or may not have been a 1,8. sure enough, the Info page shows more than 3000 '73 1,8's made - but i've never seen one before '74. with almost as many '73 1,8's as 914.6's, you'd think more would have turned up.
so i'm wondering if those 3000+ '73 1,8's were the dual-Weber carbureted Euro cars, and the AFC (L-Jet) 1,8's were imported here only for '74+ -- or those numbers are for '74 models made in '73 ... do we have any numbers on how many 914's by type were US- (or US/CDN) spec and how many were RoW ? |

I have never seen production numbers USA vs ROW anywhere Rich, as many times and places I have looked. In fact the PCNA and various factory sources specifically say that they dont know either...
All I have is the information gleaned from Excellence Was Expected... "In May of 1974, the 100,000th Porsche 914 left the factory. Nearly 60,000 914s had been exported to America by that date." At that export rate, nearly 72,000 914s [1970-76] would have been shipped to North America (60% of total production), with the remaining 46,000 (40% of total production) for the rest of the world." |
