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 ? |

QUOTE ...if the North America and RoW cars have different Type Codes, is this information shown on the CoA's ? No. All 914-4 are Type 47. Dont know about the sixes... QUOTE is the destination country build code shown in the CoA? No. QUOTE i understand subtleties like which were and were not CanAm cars (LE's) is not documented... Ah but it is documented. The COA is the only place that info is available...other than the actual Cardex...which the COA purports to be a record of. I have not seen a COA of a Euro car yet...but if you think about it...PCNA controls the COAs...and how many Euro 914 owners know or care about PCNA? A Euro car COA would be a great thing to see... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) QUOTE ...but it seems to me somewhere along the line they'd have had to know what kind of turn signals to use and whether or not to drill the fenders for US-DOT side markers... The Cardex should show the equipment package for each vehicle. The USA COAs I have, do. I have several COAs on my collectibles website if you want to study them, and a couple others I haven't had to time to post yet. All show things like...'US Equipment' [a 49 state car]...or 'CA emissions equipment"... PS This and other global questions would be easily answered if PCNA would allow access to their Cardex files. I have been tempeted to contact them and see if they would let me in for a couple hours perusal.... |
