Our BMW club has many members that own other German marks, including Porsche.
I don't know if the 914 ever had any or all of the body built with either galvanized steel and or Thyssen steel, but I think it is an interesting topic. I read with interest a thread on this board that referenced a Pelican Parts forum post: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911...1s-history.html However, the post is specific to the 911, not the 914 - or all Porsche models. From what I've been told by one of our local Porsche experts - no 914's came from the factory with either galivanized or Thyssen steel bodies. It is hard to find any information on this subject that is specific to the 914, so (for me) it remains a mystery. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Porsche didn't start "hot dipping" for rust treatment until the 76 MY, & the last 914 was actually built in 75 at the Karmann plant - so none were rust treated/etc. |
