I am a half-year 914 guy, the car spends a lot of time in winter storage here in Northern Michigan. I bought my 1974 1.8 in 2007, helped along by the generous advice of 914world members.
Now the Parade is only 40 miles from my house, I am thinking of entering the concours. Immediate questions involve the completely unoriginal radio, wheels that have been repainted, and front and rear sways that I had installed when Brad Mayeur did the original work on it. Otherwise it is a very clean car. I am wondering if I am ineligible for a "survivor" judging because of these mods? My original thread with pics: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...c=69564&hl= Thanks for your help. Paul |

The Certificate of Authenticity makes no mention of a radio, which I believe is common as many were dealer installed. Whoever installed my radio used a non-original antenna. And then they tightened it too much. So under the wide cup against the fender is a small non-progressive crack in the paint. A standard (Hirschmann) lets you see the crack so I've left this antenna on.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm9.staticflickr.com-7438-1365984040.2.jpg) I have an original style radio that I could install but it only has one wire coming out of the back... How about a radio delete filler for the dash and hope no one notices the speakers or antenna? (just kidding) I will post the radio later...

Paul Actually my radio thread is here: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=109964 Paul, I bought my late 72 with no radio from the factory, yet it had the speaker grills (no speakers) in place. Bought speakers & a Blaupinkt Frankfurt from Crutchfield. You probably know that I never drilled for an antenna, but it worked fine with a windshield antenna. Point is, I would give more work into cleaning/detailing other areas. Radios from the era could be anything - forget it as long as it is "period correct". These cars were a constantly changing beast until late 74. Have you addresed the interior edges of your front door jambs? Make certatain that there is no wax residue - that's why Q-tips were invented I think. |
