Okay, so conventional wisdom says the last 914 made was 4762904075.
What do we make of this? Attached image(s) |

Yes, the previous was the 4073 car which had pics posted a few months ago. So now mine is the 3rd newest car and slipping fast! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
The story I heard from my friend who worked for Porsche at that time (73-79) was that after Porsche anounced that the 914 line was killed interest in the cars soared. Dealers couldn't keep the cars in stock and were clamoring for more cars to sell and loaded with options so the sticker prices were high(and Dealer profits). I did test drive a 76 914 and I do remember there was only one or two on the lot. Took some talking for me to get to test drive it too. ( it was a orange car too,with that goofy pinstripping like mine had, go figure!) Geoff |
