Looking at the 914 Info data, I happened to notice some strange irregularities.
The VIN and build date information do not corrolate in all cases. Is this an owner mis-reading the build date, or a factory anomaly? If the later, why? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Examples: 4702901002 12/69 4702901050 01/70 4702901066 12/69 4702901121 12/69 4702901140 01/70 4702901162 12/69 4702901654 12/69 4702901815 12/69 4702901984 03/70 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) 4702902094 01/70 4702902365 01/70 4702902543 01/70 4702902612 01/70 4702902844 11/69 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) 4702903114 01/70 |

.............asside from all this knowledgable, probably true stuff.....what I think is the car gods wanted ME to eventually wind up with a really, really nice 1973-s 914, and therefore arranged for MY car to have loving, and special care in paint, detailing and assembly...and then have the previous two owners be anial retentave in keeping it in a warm garage out of the rain. Thats why my chassis numbers and vin are resonabably close.or not....MM.

Murry, the "Gods" personally told me so back in Aug 72, that your 914S was actually being built for you - even though you wouldn't get to drive it personally for a couple of decades! .... it had something to do with a bonus for your good Armed Service record if I recall !!?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) ... or maybe because they wanted more of us Cherokees in 914s !!?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Tom /////// |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Must've been that they knew how tickled pink you'd be to finally have your own "914S" !!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) When I get a chance, I'll try to print out that big dealer brochure for the 914-1.7 & 914S for you & mail it off buddy! Just too busy now for another "project"! .. & re: 356's - everybody should have "a little behind"! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) For those who don't know - ME733 Murray jumped on here last year just absolutely giddy when he finally got his 914S & found 914world, & hasn't lost ANY of his enthusiasm yet!!!!
