Well apparently (according to "World" information) some early '72/4s were delivered with non-inertia seatbelts, while later builds had the retractable belts.
'72/6s appear to have the ignition switch on the steering column, as do all model year /4s. So I wonder, did the factory produce any 1972 model 914s with a fixed passenger seat, or conversely deliver any '71s' with an adjustable passenger seat? Or, are there any 1971 914s that had fresh air vents on the outboard ends of the dash, or 1972 models that didn't have these vents? My own '70/4 (build date 01/70; delivered 04/70) had the "appearance package" w/leather steering wheel, chrome bumpers, vinyl rollbar trim but did not have factory installed fog lights. The fog lights and their requisite grilles were installed at the dealer @ delivery. My car also was not equipped with the tethered "footrest" that the '70 and '71 models came with. My early car also did/does not have any headliner material on the f/g roof. I was just wondering just what sort of other trim and equipment variations from spec have been noted. Paul |

I was looking back through this, contemplating whether my dash is original or not, and an anomilie has come to me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
As above, this is the stamp in the trunk of my car (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-11782-1340848499.jpg) 1749532 and this is my dash from the same car (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-11782-1340848480.jpg) 1729556 To recap what this is supposed to mean, I'll quote a post from the bird here QUOTE First two digits = These are the weeks of the year that your chassis was put into production. Your car started production during the eight week of the year. 08 So, your car started production in mid-February. Third digit = This is the day of the week that your car started production. Your car started production on a Thursday. 4 (Monday=1, Tuesday=2, Wednesday=3, etc.) Fourth digit = This is always 9. This was meant to identify the factory the chassis was built in. The number 9 refers to Osnabrueck (where the Karmann plant is). Karmann was considering building 914s in other plants but, the plug got pulled on the project. Hence, this digit is always 9 since all 914 chassis were built in Osnabrueck. Digits 5, 6 and 7 = This is a recurring counting number that always began on Mondays at 001. Your car was chassis number 519 produced that week. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-914...ber-plates.html So if you look at the numbers, they are both from the same week 17. The odd thing is that the car then has a '4', the dash a '2' (Thursday and Tuesday respectively). The thing is that the number from Tuesday is higher than the number on Thursday, and it's supposed to be cumulative for the week? The one solution I can think of is maybe the dash is from a different year entirely - would there be any way to tell? |
