I know that the "snowplow" rear valence is rare, but am wondering about those who have one.
Is it mounted? Mine cannot be mounted until the car comes off from jackstands because the jack will destroy it. Just wondering. Pat |

That louvered rear valence must be a truely rare item. I remember the /6 that Pat was referring to previously, and the slotted rear panel was really cool looking. At the time, the mid '70s, not a lot of concern and attention was paid to originality. That 914/6 with the slotted rear valence was certainly unique and those of us who noticed it knew it for a "custom" piece of fabrication, but I don't think neither Pat nor I had any idea that such a part was (in theory) available as a factory PORSCHE part.
Besides looking great, I'd bet the slots in the deep valence panel would help relieve the hot air build-up beneath the engine and by the muffler. I would imagine a reproduction, slotted, rear valence panel would have a limited market, given that it probably would be expensive to manufacture. Paul |
