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 |

Paul,
The CoAs for 914s seem to be useful only for VIN, color code, and engine #. Vagueness (i.e. "US Equipment"), errors (i.e. equipment & options not even coded for 914 models) and omissions (your 914 and my '70 came w/appearance group but was not noted on the CoA) plague 914 CoAs. The satellite Karmann factory in Osnabruck probably didn't have any directives to keep detailed documentation for the 914 production equipment other than the aforementioned items. There have been a number of threads questioning the inaccuracies of 914 certificates. As far as getting a correction, Pat Garvey could tell you about his frustration in getting an accurate and concise CoA for his 1972 1.7. after receiving questionable data on his CoA. Paul |

Paul Thanks, I don't like the judges mentioning inaccuracies that aren't true! Paul |
