Understand that the 912E's used the 914 4 banger for a couple years. Was there any difference from 914 spec versions ??

QUOTE It was regarded as a stop-gap between when the 914 ceased production and the 924 went on sale. I think it was regarded as a way to move extra T4 motors they had laying around. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) They did the same thing with the leftover 356 motors... thinkaboutit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I don't agree. Here is why, if you care. I believe they just had to stop supporting the 356 motor....they had no more cranks. At that time, they sold off a ton of parts to stoddards. Also, the type 4 motor lived on till 1981 in the Vanagon, so motors were still being bought for each chassis. Certainly a parts car, type 4 motor and 911 shells... I think they really thought a new car in partnership with VW would actually work that time with the 924/944 line of cars, but once again, vw bailed out in the end. Rich |
