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) |

I think they all were towed over here on a Uboat.
On a barge that sat low enough to submerge about a 1/4 of the cars alll the way across the atlantic. Mystery solved. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
