I found myself in the odd situation of having the only 914 at the PCA-SVR event last weekend. During the afternoon sessions, I was talking with a guy who is a childhood friend of friends of mine. He mentioned that he has a 914. Oh? I wonder why he is autocrossing a C2? As the conversation goes on, it turns out it is an original 6 and in great shape.
I thought maybe I had found one that was not on the VIN Registry but it turns out, Darryl is a member and doesn't even remember it! He hasn't logged on since 2008 and has 0 posts! Great guy and great car... Here is a pic of his whole herd... I will try to lure him back on the site, his screen name is Mac Schnell and I would bet he can't remember his log in and password. Attached image(s)

Looks too greenish to be Alaska Blue. That was also not available in 70 or 71. It also looks too greenish to be Metallic Blue.
Then again, it wouldn't be the first time the color in a picture on line fooled me. --DD |

QUOTE(ConeDodger @ Oct 26 2011, 01:26 PM) Dave, the VIN is 9140431289. Is that late enough to be a '72? The first digit after "914" was the model year, so this should be MY1970. According to the VIN database pages, MY1972 914-6 would have VINs 9142430001 – 9142430260. Reference: VIN/Chassis Numbers Page There have been exceptions I'm sure - rebuilt prototypes, specials or racers, etc. And if I missed a bit of context in there somewhere, my apologies. |
