Newbie question here. I thought all '73 2.0L cars came standard optioned out ..... chrome bumpers, vinyl sail panels, center console, alloy wheels, etc. But I see a '73 for sale with black painted bumpers, no vinyl on the sail panels, and aftermarket alloy wheels (assume it originally had steel wheels). The owner says this was called the 914 "Sport" model. Can anyone educate me on the history of this model? Thanks!

Tom,
I will try to get the information posted later. Page 2 of the dealer information for 73 breaks down the dealer order codes, 473434, 473454 and 473644. Page 3 breaks down the 4th digit this way:

473434= standard trim
473534=standard trim+comfort trim
473644=standard trim+5 comfort trim and sport trim.

The ONLY dealer option code shown for the 2.0 is 473644. The other codes are for the 1.7.

I hope this adds to the confusion.

Hey Mark - that would be great if you could post all pages of that 73 document! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I had to wing-in with 72 & 74 stuff I found on-line to "prove" to PCNA that THEY mucked up calling my Beige #31 interior "black" (which is #11) on the first 2 trys they made at my COA!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

IIRC - Jeff Bowlsby has one late 73 MY Munroney window sticker on his classic 914 web-pages that shows something other than 473644, but it may just be the equivalent AG+PG for "outside of CA" (49 state) 2.0's.

For those who haven't seen Jeff's info, go to the link below.

http://bowlsby.net/914/Classic/
> (see window stickers, optional eqpt. & model nos. relative to this discussion - but check them all out!)

You'll note there, that relative to the USA market for the above codes Mark has provided, that the
Appearance Group (AG for USA) = Comfort Trim &
Performance Group (PG for USA) = Sport Trim


Mark - I await your posts! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
