Hi. I recently bought an "all original" 1975 914 2.0 in fairly decent shape. It has the appearance package and the sport package with an unusual white colored interior and a copper colored body for a real 70's pimp-mobile look.
The windshield trim and the sail trim are painted a gloss black. Though I think the car could use some more "bling" (i.e. chrome trim), the paint on these parts looks very good. I'm trying to understand if this is original, or if these parts were painted at some point. I've found that a couple of special addition 914's did have the trim painted black, but all other accounts seem to point to chrome trim. I'm hoping that it is original because it would be a bear to try and remove the paint, but I'm thinking that it is not. Does anyone know if the black trim might be the original finish? Thanks. |

Sorry for the delayed response. I was pleasantly surprised to log back in and see that I had several responses to my query. You guys are just as nutty as I am about cars, which makes this a great place for me! I had suspected that the trim finish is not correct. Did I read somewhere that these parts are almost impossible to get? I'm at work, and it is raining out now, but I'll snap a few pics over the next day or so and post. I'm really enjoying this car!
