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

There is way more to the 924 story.....I have read a account by that German 914 posted (cant remember his name but DD would). He told the story of the 924 on the Potomac Porsche club site. Basically, the Audi factory(was where the NSU's were built) had the car already to go for VW but then VW pulled out. The factory came to Porsche and (since Porsche had done most of the engineering) offered the car to them to sell under their name so the car could be built and the factory could keep on going.
By the way, my friend drove the first 924 around the US to all the Dealers to show it. It was a yellow car/black interior without ac, and he did this in the summer. He reported back to Porsche that they had to get AC in their cars or it would never sell! Too hot with that big back window! I have seen the pics he has of it and him. Geoff |
